I love books.
I love the stories that draw me in, the characters who become my friends, and just the "atmosphere" of my favorite books. The way I feel at home in my favorite stories and with my favorite characters.
But do you know what I hate about books? They end.
I hate the end because then it's over. And unless someone goes to the trouble of writing a sequel, you don't hear any more from those characters and the story is done. And even in the best sequel, the atmosphere isn't the same and it doesn't feel as much like home.
Yep. The end sucks.
This has been metaphorical moping with Amanda. I apologize. And what do I know, anyway? Maybe there will be a sequel. And sometimes sequels are just as good as the originals. Maybe even better. But probably not better. That seems impossible.

On Average, We're Pretty Crazy Around Here.
I know exactly how you're feeling. Grad school will be a good sequel. But the original has been so good. Although there has been so much tension since we all know it's ending. I guess that's what a climax is. The best ones keep you guessing how it will all work out until the very end. This has been metaphorical musings with Jessie.
