Lolita

Sometimes I feel like what most people want to do is to not end up like their parents. This may have to do with familiarity and how we all just want something different from what we are accustomed to. I have a feeling that my parents felt similarly about the people who raised them.


You are shaped by everyone and everything you have ever known. The rest is up to chance.

My brother and I were trying to make a list of words that begin and end with the same sounds and also relate to each other in a literal way. We came up with a few...

Parrot/Pirate
Guy/Gay
Beer/Bar

I was pretty satisfied with how the Yankee Swap went this year. I ended up with a used copy of Lolita and some hand lotion. Sweet deal.

I'm really glad you'll get a chance to read Lolita. And I really hope the lotion and the book don't ever get to interact.

I'm with Katie on that... :-)
