Rose rants in third person this week.

Hey ladies it's Thursday and on Thursdays we're teddy bear doctors!

This week has been weirdly good for Rose. She got up stupid early on Memorial day and went to this Vietnam war memorial thing-y, then got some bagels and schmere, and went home and took a 4 hour nap. Rose is bad at many things (Whistling, feelings, riding bikes, math, people, seeing outside herself, exercise, drinking coffee when it's still hot, knowing what people groups I can say certain things in, sports of all kinds, keeping in contact with people, and science to name a few). But she's certainly a champion sleeper.

Rose is going to reply to your post now.

Grace/Laura: Rose is somewhat unhealthily obsessed with the Duggar debacle. She's trying to exemplify the love of Christ in this situation but failing miserably. She often finds it hard to show grace to people who commit certain sins, which is silly because we all sin and no one is any better than anyone else. LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR IS HARD OKAY?

Mercy: Your post was..ah yes. According to Solomon (the wisest man who ever lived) everything is pointless, and I think your post illustrated that perfectly. Don't take that the wrong way...it was meant tot be a compliment...

Here's a better compliment

Let's get down to business, shall we?

In case you haven't noticed, Rose has been writing this entire post in 3rd person. And no, it's not because her secretary alpaca Dave is writing for her. (Although she should definitely teach Dave to do that). There are too reasons why she's writing like a loony toon.

1. It helps her become aware of how much she talks about herself, which she is trying to stop doing.
2. It helps her view her life differently. 

On a scale of 1 to 7 she's 5,000% done with high school. The drama, and the paper people, and the ignorance, and the lies, it bothers Rose a lot. Will it ever end? She asks herself. Does silliness go on forever? 

Also, can we have to conversation about the American dream for 5 seconds? When people first came to this country, they came for freedom. This country gained its independence from Great Britain because we did so because we wanted freedom. The American dream is freedom. But somehow it got screwed up along the way, and now the American dream is success and prosperity. Rose doesn't have a problem with with success and prosperity, but no one seems to acknowledge the fact that they are both relative terms. What is successful to one person, may not be successful to another. But in America we have a particular brand of success. This success entails money and romance, but makes no mention of happiness. And that's what success really is. When a person is proud of what they do and no matter where they came from. And that's what America's all about. But that seems to have gotten lost in translation, Rose is just frustrated. There's no need to listen to her silly ramblings.

HOLY SNOT! ROSE HAS TO TELL YOU ABOUT A BOOK!

So Carrie Hope Fletcher did this video where she gave a bunch of book recommendations. And one of the books was this book by Markus Zusak (The guy who wrote The Book Thief who is therefore bae) called Getting the Girl. So Rose went to see if her library had it and she discovered it was actually the last book in a series, so she got a book that had all three books in the series in it, and she has been reading it, and it's fantastic.

 It's about these 2 brothers, who remind her a lot of Laura and herself  because they come up with a bunch of really silly plans that they either don't do or fail miserably at. The other thing she really likes about it is that the main character has really boring life and does all these really strange things and all these existential crisis's and that is her life.

That's all Rose has to say this week.

Grace, until tomorrow!

Gurl please. -Rose.
