They're sort of...emotionally fragile? And they think about dark stuff a lot, and are maybe generally unhappy but want to be happier and try to do that by writing poetry and doing art and...stuff. You know? Sort of...the girls who don't fit into neat slots but still want something that they can relate to/respond to. Something like that, anyway. I think I'm pretty slottish so I can't completely related to FLB's books, but I do appreciate the space they fill.

I've been wondering about Francesca Lia Block for a while, but I'm still undecided about whether to read one of her books. I mean I support banned books! but hers sound a bit strange, and not necessarily in a good way. :P Congrats on finishing finals!
