Books enter and exit my days in a fluid continuum

Above all, I love receiving obscure recommendations. Italian by birth, transplanted in Los Angeles, I am trying to make sense of the world and life through food and words. At the meetings folk discussed what they had read and what they liked/disliked. The local bookshops would give book clubs a generous discount.

Katy:
We still talk online when I initiate, but when I asked her to hang out she said she'd see if she could but never brought it up again.

Katy:
At the beginning of the school year she would hug me every time she saw me but now she just walks by unless we make eye contact or I say hi.

Katy:
Me and her used to say I love you and stuff like that and we would hug whenever we saw each other and she would call me cute (she's the first girl I've ever actually wanted to date.) Since her ex graduated she isn't in art club so we never hang out.

Katy:
We used to be in art club together and I would hang out with her and her boyfriend (now ex boyfriend) during lunch since I wasn't into her yet and I wasn't into him so it wasn't with bad intentions.

Katy:
We're both girls if that makes a difference.

Katy:
There's this girl that I'm really into and I don't know whether to wait or tell her.

Kelsi:
I'm not a tall girl either I'm really short and I look young for my age.

Sima:
How can I become more noticed?

Sima:
How should I become more noticed and likeable?

Sima:
Barely anyone even knew I went to their school and anyone who does knows me as the annoying immature girl (which I am gahah). I overall have an embarrassing reputation and would like to start fresh.
