*crosses fingers*

Well, here I go cluttering up everyone's flist again, but I feel like yakking, so there. *nyah*

I finished reading The Last of the Mohicans last night! Gosh, I can't remember ever being so glad to be done with a book in my life. Now, to start Wuthering Heights as planned, or Georgette Heyer... ;-)

I feel better today, so hopefully that means I'm not getting sick. *points to crossed fingers* If I must get sick, it'd have to be delayed to Friday night, because it's just plain in convenient to get sick before then. ;-P

Last night was filled with strange dreams, about volcanic eruptions and getting chased on a motorcycle. (not at the same time - two separate dreams!) None of the cowboys or costume balls that I was hoping for, drat!

I think most of you know my feelings on the subject of our new president, but I've been doing some thinking the past few days. No matter what Obama's platform, politics, and policies, God is still in control. God allowed him to become president, and even what is intended for evil, He can turn for good, so I'm going to try and be less worried about stuff that I can't directly control. (i.e., pretty much nothing!) If God cares about a little sparrow that falls, and if he can take what Joseph's brothers did by selling him into slavery and turn that into something good, then he can certainly use someone like Obama.

I think that we should all pray for Obama and his cabinet, (in addition to our senators and representatives) - not that "Obama saves the world" or whatever, but that God uses Obama & Co. for what He deems fit.

"Moreover let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patience and unswerving endurance..." (Rom. 5:3)

Of course! Why would it be improper to comment? (and if you want to add someone, when viewing their journal, way up at the top on the navigation bar there should be an "add them as friend" link for you to click on.) ;-)

I think I will still prefer Jane Eyre, since I've already read that and I absolutely loved it. ;-D

No idea, I just do not want to do anything wrong and seem stupid.
Thanks, I added you, hope it is ok.
Ah, the stupid edition I have of Jane Eyre spoiled half of the plot to me, ruined my experience, I think.

I doubt that you're stupid. ;-) Give yourself some credit! If you're new on LJ (and let's face it - we all were, at some point!) then there's no reason to be ashamed or embarassed at not knowing how to do something. Asking questions is a good way to learn things! ;-D And you have carte blanche to ask me whatever you like.

Oh, dear, that's dreadful! I saw a movie version of JE before reading the book, but I've had that happen with other things, and now I make it a habit to ignore prologues, because they usually are full of spoilers. I get more irritated at spoilery footnotes. Why would anyone want to spoil the story for someone else?

It is just my personality in all occasions;) You are very kind.

Yes it is horrible, the only thing they did not tell was that he had a wife, but I knew Jane was going to run away.

Well that was mighty big of them!! I suppose they told you about St. John, too?? *headdesk*

No, they did not go that far; )
