My internet has gone KABOOM at home, so I won’t be on very often. I’m using a school computer, but I’m not supposed to be on the Terces Society. Whoops.

No and no. I’m still sort of privacy-cautious. I find Facebook creepy.

I haven’t cried over a book since Dumbledore died.
That changes with The Fault in Our Stars. I haven’t finished yet, but I just got past the part when Augustus dies. Oh. My. Bosch.-
Lily
That got ruined eh..? Jk jk

To be honest, I didn’t cry over Dumbledore, nor Augustus. I didn’t cry over Dumbledore, probably because it was in the fifth book and by the time I got to that scene, I was probably yawning my head off. Or because I wasn’t great at processing things in my head because I think I read that book somewhere in third grade. I didn’t cry over Augustus (OKAY, FINE, MAYBE A FEW SNIFFLES BUT I COULDN’T HELP IT, ALRIGHT!) because I just didn’t…Like Augustus that much to care for him…oh gods i sound like a horrible person right now. I’m sorry. Anyway: I guess I just didn’t feel enough emotion toward Hazel and Augustus…I don’t know why..But something that’s really been bothering me is the fact that everyone (or most everyone, atleast) thinks that Augustus is attractive. I FEEL A RANT COMING ON…John Green doesn’t properly DESCRIBE Augustus. He just writes that he’s attractive, and hot. In Hazel’s point of view. And that’s it. All throughout the book I was picturing him as a guy who had wavy dark brown hair and acted like one of those popular kids/bormals. But not attractive. Nope. Not at all. I pictured Hazel as this girl who wasn’t the slightest bit attractive (okay, I’m overexaggerating) and had short, light brown hair (you know, like, cut around her head short? A bit shorter than my hair?) and deep, green eyes and hazel flecks. (i love eyes that have different colors. just saying in case any of you wanted to know.) But I didn’t really picture them that way…I don’t know, when I read, my mind functions a bit differently…It’s hard to describe how I visualize things.
I really don’t want to ridicule TFiOS since it’s one of my favorite John Green books…But seriously, the way John Green just describes him as “attractive” really bothered me. Before I read TFiOS, Nina was ranting about how good it is, and I thought, “Okay, well, this Augustus-guy seems like a good-looking person since everyone seems to like him and sob over him when he dies.” LET’S SEE, DID I SOB? NO. THE ONLY TIME I PROPERLY SOBBED OVER A BOOK WAS SAVVY, AND I WAS LIKE, IN FOURTH GRADE. Don’t judge, alright? I was a little fourth grader reading an emotional book, alright? XD
And I also said “I don’t care if he dies, unless he’s good-looking.” And I really regret saying that, Nina, because he wasn’t and I– Okay, now I’m probably just rambling nonsense. It always happens.But overall, TFiOS was a good book. I just thought the descriptions could be…better.
My rant in one sentence. *facepalm*-
Nina Absolutely Does Not Have Willpower
I cried over the ending. I hate it when books (or movies, like Dr. Horrible) end too fast. Gah. Anyway, you don’t cry over Augustus because he’s attractive or you have a crush on him. You cry because, over the course of the book, he becomes your friend, and because through Hazel’s viewpoint you can see just how much of what could have been never happened. And then you realize that this is fiction and you cry all over again.
-
violinplayer10101
It didn’t happen to me, though…Only a bit of watery eyes because I knew that you were “supposed” to cry. I don’t have a soul, do I. XD

Nina Absolutely Does Not Have Willpower
Sixth book. Not fifth.
-
Agent YKW
I WAS JUST THINKING THAT!
-
-
-
Agent SD
I cried a lot during that book. But I was actually crying more with the whole “I’m in love with you quote.” It just. Too many feels.
-
Dragon Agent
Such a good book, even though it causes you to have minor emotional breakdowns.
-
Nina Absolutely Does Not Have Willpower
Read Paper Towns next!
-
Dragon Agent
Planned on it!!!
-
-
-
-
Agent SD
When I think of crying over books I think of Dobby. And When You Reach Me. And Why We Broke Up.
And the fourth and fifth Secret Series books, actually. I’m way too emotionally invested in those books.
-
Nina Absolutely Does Not Have Willpower
*cough* Forgetting a certain memerable moment in a certain book involving morse code, a certain boy and a certain chess piece and a machine called the Whisperer?

–I’M NAMING MY GUINEA PIG EUSTACE. DONE. (I’m certainly not getting a rat for a pet…Otherwise I’d name my rat Eustace. *myweirdthoughts*)
–Georgie Henley looks kind of like Kristen Stewart. Look closely.
–I love Georgie Henley. Seriously, you guys, she’s freaking awesome.
If you can’t watch the whole thing, watch the ending. Thank you,
~Jenny-

Hey, people ship Georgie and Skandar…hmm, I’d go with that.

Lily
That would be kinda coolz.

violinplayer10101
Yeah, though I’d probably get pretty heart-broken…scratch that. I’m a peasant. I WATCH TOO MANY DAN VIDEOS *HEADDESK* ACK.
-
Lily
My friend keeps calling me a peasant.. Idk it seemed like a joke at first but its kinda tedious.
-
-
-
-
Lily
Yeah she does look like Kristen Stewart a bit… She’s really pretty though. Have you seen Voyage of the Dawn Treader?
-
violinplayer10101

torture.
I am torturing myself.
I promised myself I would not read (write?) Write This Book until after my exams.
My brain:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WRITE THIS BOOK WRITE THIS BOOK WRITE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-
Dragon Agent
Oh, that must BITE!
-
violinplayer10101
Don’t you think that you’d do better if you were to read/write Write This Book before, so your mind wouldn’t keep on pondering over how fantastic Write This Book is? Not that I’m saying it is…
Good luck on your exams, though. -
Agent SD
Oh YIKES! I’ve put myself through similar torture before. It’s the WORST. Good luck! Hope you get to writing it soon!

Dragon Agent
I have been meaning to make this post for quite a while.
I have so much to thank ALL of you for, whether you like it or not.
Nina, SD, I think Lily, too: Introducing me to Doctor Who
Jenny: Good reading. Your rambles and such are often interesting, even if I don’t know crap about Narnia stuff.
Robin: Your posts like “On Hair and Emotional Want” just proves so much about the world that a lot of people don’t see.
SD: Being you. You’re a flipping amazing person.
Tori: Cool art.
Paperclip: Funny posts regarding Harry Potter/pottermore make my day.
YKW: Enthusiasm.
All of you: Making the Terces Society awesome, and all of you being the Boschness people you are.-
Dragon Agent
And getting me to read the Mysterious Benedict Society! Forgot that one.
-
Lily
Yaay
Thank you too! <3 -
violinplayer10101
Awh, thanks Maizy…Truth to be told, I don’t know much either, since I haven’t read the whole series…ask me about Percy Jackson and I’ll answer without blinking…
-
Agent SD
Oh gosh, I don’t deserve the praise at all but everyone on here is so wonderful and special to me–that includes you Maizy, and I’m just really grateful to be a part of this. <3 So much love to all of you!

Who here likes writing?
Favorite genres to write in?-
Dragon Agent
Love, love, love writing!!!! Mainly sci-fi, fantasy, or historical fiction.
-
Agent SD
How immersed do you get in your research for historical fiction? I’ve been meaning to try but it gets a bit intimidating!
-
Dragon Agent
Too immersed. I won’t even go into detail.
-
-
-
violinplayer10101
Writing is my passion. *cue dramatic music* I like fantasy. And poems. And micro-fiction. And sci-fi. And mystery. Basically, I like to write the genres that I read.
-
Agent SD
Oooh nice! What kind of poetry do you do? Rhyming, verse, etc.?
-
-
Cami
I like writing realistic fiction mostly… I have no time to write these days! I also never have something interesting to write about.
It sucks.-
Agent SD
High five, realistic fiction buddy! Aww.
Stephen King says, in regards to the no time to write thing, that if you really want to write the best approach is to wake up an hour earlier and dedicate that hour to writing. But that might not be the best idea when you’re constantly exhausted from school! Hopefully with the summer comes you’ll have more time. As for never having anything to write about–I think everyone goes through a time where they get in ruts. The most important thing is to keep writing, even if you only have ten minutes a day, use those ten minutes to write whatever comes to mind. It’s important not to lose your writing skills! There are also lots of writing prompts online, I believe Writers’ Digest has some good ones, and there are also like picture writing prompts where they give you an image and you have to make up a short story that’s inspired by it.
That’s actually something I’ve been considering doing on here for a while… Anyway, good luck, I hope you can write again soon!

I write random snippets and abandon them… nowadays i write random lengthy descriptions of things.
-
Agent SD
Ha, abandoning things is a habit I can’t seem to break. A lot of times I’ll be describing a story I wrote and then someone will ask to read it and I’ll just be all “Sorry, deleted it as soon as I wrote it.” XD
-
-
Agent YKW
I do! I write, read, and live fantasy only. xD
-
Agent YKW
Sometimes I write poetry. When I’m depressed or angry.

Lily
I don’t really write, like at all. I have tried lots of times but I just can’t seem to..

violinplayer10101
I’m still reading/writing Write This Book by Pseudonymous Bosch and The Lord of the Rings Part One by J.R.R. Tolkien, and I just got done reading The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater. Ohmigosh that book is amazing. One of the best books ever. I found MY book, you guys. Funny, ’cause I was just ranting about how I couldn’t find MY book a few days ago.
-
Cami
I’m reading Memiors of A Teenage Amnesiac by Gabrielle Zevin. It’s wonderful!

You know you’re nerdy obsessed with pottermore when…
You know you’re nerdy/obsessed with pottermore when
you wake up sweating, the night before the Pottermore house cup, from a dream that Hufflepuff won (they came 4th, actually) and Ravenclaw was 4th (second, actually)
And congratulations to any Slytherins.
>:(-
Agent SD
SLYTHERIN WON?! HOW DID SLYTHERIN WIN.
-
Lily
Now now Sarah, no need to be Anti-Slytherin.. XD

paperclip123

-
violinplayer10101
NONONO!!! SLYTHERIN!?!? IF I HAD KNOWN, I WOULD’VE DESPERATELY TRIED TO EARN HOUSE POINTS. ME ISH FRUSTRATED. Eh. I quite like Slytherin, actually. no, it’s not just because edmund’s a slytherin. no, not at all. *is serious*
