Oy, Percy is a LOT. "Haha, silly little woman, don't worry your pretty head about your, you know, theories. Ideas. Thoughts. You're so cute and dumb! Oh, wait, you're in high school!? ::sigh::

Meanwhile, Cal AGAIN! We knew he'd be back, because EVIL NEVER SLEEPS. Or, maybe ANNOYING NEVER LETS UP? Something like that. Dude -- I, too, despair for Lara's life choices, the most important of which is DROPPING the poker, and not hiding from EVERYONE she meets outside Murder House. Because THAT has been in at least a couple horror movies, too; getting dragged back IN...

LOL, Christopher Pike just now remembered he's meant to be writing a book that isn't bewildering and weird, but tense and scary. Go, him.

I fully admit that the cliffhanger was strong enough that I KEPT READING into the next chapter, even though I've been actively NOT doing that so far!! And from the couple of pages I allowed myself, there is BIG STUFF coming next week!

Even though Lara's life choices are terrible, I keep largely chalking them up to social conditioning (except for the Dana stuff, good lord), but I have not been doing the same for Percy, who I continue to feel is just THE. WORST. and I pretty much constantly want to throw him down a well (even though if I were being 100% fair, I'd admit that social conditioning is a factor there as well, sigh. (but he's just so. paternalistic, ugh.))
