The Bodega

[SalaciousMonkey22]

My eighth grade English teacher did one thing that was amazing: rented out a single screen and took all his classes to an early preview showing of The Fellowship of the Ring a week before it actually came out.
Those films are, in my not-so-humble opinion, some of the best ever made.

I agree completely. They have supplanted Star Wars in my psyche.

What about the Hobbit?

 

[LadyLascivious1]

I don’t remember ever not being a huge reader. My dad read to us every, single night and started on all the Oz books when I was really little. Then The Hobbit. And some of my earliest memories are of dragging my mom to the library multiple times a week to get new books. I used to get so many Pizza Hut personal pan pizzas from Book-It.

As I got older I never cared if I got in trouble because I was happy to go to my room to read. And some of my biggest fights as a preteen with my mom were over what reading material was appropriate to my age and what was too mature

I love this. I was similar, my mom would take away TV (and later video games) but never books. And so, getting in trouble was never that terrible. I mean aside from the fact that I’m a pleaser and getting in “trouble” ruins me.

Those movies are…fine. But you can tell they were not Jackson’s passion.

I rarely got in trouble, but eventually my mom wised up and actually did take my books away as a punishment. She still jokes that as a teacher it was horrible and way tougher on her than me

Truer words have never been ... Oh you know how it finishes Sexy Bookworm!!

Who is “they” and what are the terms of this trade?

 

[SalaciousMonkey22]

Who is “they” and what are the terms of this trade?

I don’t know tbh, she’s being a bit cagey about it. Very sus.

 

[Indie]

Who is “they” and what are the terms of this trade?

Shh. Nothing you need to worry about.

 

[SalaciousMonkey22]

Shh. Nothing you need to worry about.

Oh wait, not sus at all.

 

[LadyLascivious1]

Shh. Nothing you need to worry about.

Yes, because I’m known for taking orders and not asking questions

Good girl.

 

[LadyLascivious1]

Good girl.

That just makes me laugh out loud

 

[SalaciousMonkey22]

Good girl.

 

[LadyLascivious1]

Nothing to see here. Just @Indie being a bit bratty. It’s her way of saying she missed me while I was gone

You say that like it’s not a beautiful thing to see.

Also, that source material was not three movies worth of source material
