The Fault in Our Stars - A Letter to John Green

I know that John Green (or even Hank Green) will probably never, ever see this but after seeing the TFIOS movie today I feel that this needs to be written and get off my chest.

Dearest John Green ,

With the release of 'The Fault in Our Stars' movie I feel the need to release a few questions surrounding the novel. Firstly, I cannot believe after all the hatred and ill-feeling toward Peter Van Houten throughout the novel and movie you yourself "Van Houtened" me, along with every other reader. John Green, you yourself wrote that there is an unspoken contract between the author and the reader, so I feel that you owe everyone answers; however I feel that if the answer is something like "that's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt" or "it's a metaphor" I will probably begin to cry and call you douchepants.

Just like Hazel and Augustus bonded over the wonders and the fate of the characters in 'An Imperial Affliction', I have united with a friend over the shared irritation about the absence of closure at the end of TFIOS! Now, we are both quite healthy, two-legged and have working lungs so I didn't expect to be flown to wherever you reside to meet you and discuss the importance of Swedish rap or even share a Scotch and Soda. But, a simple Youtube video, Tumblr post or tweet would suffice.

What happens to Hazel Grace Lancaster? How long does she survive? Does she live out the rest of her days trying to leave a mark on the world? Do her tumours grow?
Does Isaac ever get over Monica? Do they ever meet again?
What happens to Peter Van Houten? Does he go to rehab? What about his assistant?
What happens to Hazel's parents? Does her mother become a social worker? (What does Hazel's father even do?)

Now let it be known that I am as big of a fan of yours as anyone else. I've read TFIOS 12 times (yes, you read that correctly), and most of these questions have haunted me since the first time I shut your amazing book. I think I share some questions that the rest of the general public also has.

Sincerely yours,

Emma May

(P.S the movie was just as sensational as the book, thank you)

Senior Formal, 2014

Hey Pals (wow, I'm a really awkward person...) Friends? Everyone?

To begin my blog I thought I would briefly recount my Year 12 Formal that occurred on May 9th, 2014. So, this year (2014) is my senior year of high school; I graduate on November 21st and am eagerly anticipating the end of the year!!

Anyways, so our senior formal was honestly one of the best nights of my life. We had the day off from school to get ready and prepared for the big night ahead of us; I started with a nice long sleep because I knew it would be a long, long, long night ahead. I had my makeup appointment at 12.30pm, my hair appointment at 2pm, which was followed by a quick stop home to get changed and off to the dock for photos with friends. The actual formalities begun at around 6pm when everyone started arriving at the venue.

Afterwards, we all proceeded inside to take family photographs and begin the evening. It started with entree, alongside partner dancing and being presented to our parents on stage.

To be honest, I spent about 20 minutes total (out of 4 hours) at the table with my parents and the rest of the time was either hitting the D-Floor or getting photos with my friends and in classes! (But at least now, I have beautiful, lasting memories)

The infamous awkward individual photograph, where the photographer insisted that although the pose felt "awkward and uncomfortable" ensured me it would look "beautiful and elegant" when I saw the photo, they were wrong!

The night at the formal ended at around 10pm-11pm to which we all went home, changed into more 'appropriate' attire and went out again to a party. Let's just say, that night was one of the best nights, a night where I not only further connected with my already best friends, but with my entire grade as a cohort. A night where everyone bonded and we all became one HUGE family!

(P.S - I think this blogging thing will become a weekly thing? Or even a twice-weekly thing?? It's just a place for me to document, comment and cherish my memories)
