Today during lunch I was sitting with a few of my friends. We were all excited about new movies that have been out, and of course, we wanted others to feel our excitement. Many of my friends were talking about the new Disney movie "Frozen", which I haven't seen. I tuned out of their conversation because I didn't want anything to be given away. Basically what I got out of it was "IT'S AMAZING!!!". So, no spoilers there.
The other movie they were talking about was "Catching Fire". I've personally never been a fan of those movies/books, so I tuned out of that conversation as well. I did hear that it was better than the first movie, just in case you were wondering.
The movie that I saw over Thanksgiving was "Ender's Game". I personally liked the book more, though it had some...inappropriateness. I mean, it's a bunch of boys in battle school. What do you expect? Anyway, I was talking about how much I liked the movie. My friends wanted to know if they should read the book. I tried explaining my thoughts on the matter, but I was slightly out-of-it from the weekend (I actually forgot my friend's name, so don't think it's just an excuse). I couldn't think of a good way to explain why I thought it was iffy. They kept asking me and I just could NOT think of a good explanation. Apparently, I painted a pretty detailed picture inside my friends' heads. They got grossed out and left the table.
This post is to say, don't exaggerate. Think about what you're going to say before you say it. THINK BEFORE YOU ACT. Unless, of course, you rely on intuition. Then feel free to think after you act. :)
