      I clicked on the "Post" button and was very excited. "I started a new group," I exclaimed.

      "What is this?" I ask. "It seems as though it is the same thing as the first person discussion, but it is called narratives." I walk away, wondering what the difference is, if there is any.
    
      I turn to Veronica, if she's still there. "The only difference i see is that we're talking in past tense for the descriptions outside the quotes." i said, not-quite making sense.
    
      "I do not care," I reply. I look back on lunch where Veronica was narrating all of Rainy's actions. I scratch the side of my head. 
    
  
  
  
      Ales, stared at the words which seemed to ooze from the computer screen. It was not as if he couldn't read the words, it is just that they did make sense, since they were in the narrative section and were definetly not narrative, in the slightest. 
    
  
  
  
      I pondered for a moment. "Can we please change the subject?" I asked the group. I waited patiently for the answer in form of posts.
    
  
  
  
      After 3 hours and 51 minutes, according to Goodreads, I also sat and waited.
    
  
  
  
      I said, "I don't think that we should change the discussion, or at least not until we get the confusion settled."
    
      All that I said was, "I think we should change the subject. Any suggestions?"
    
  
  
  
      "Right now, we are talking about a subject that we are confused about," I explained.
    
  
  
  
      "Can we just change the subject, please?" I yelled politely. I was confused by that oxymoron.
    
  
  
  
      'How can you possibly yell politely?' I think to myself. I sigh, and decide to once more say something."I don't think that we should change the discussion until somebody *cough couch* Kassy *cough cough* explains the difference between a narrative and talking in first person.
"Personally," I continue, "I think that Kassy, who was the one who started this discussion, doesn't know the difference and keeps trying to change the subject to avoid embarrassment. She should just give up on trying to change the subject though, because I won't let her. We need to get the confusion solved."
I finish, proud of my short speech to everyone else in this discussion.
      I stick my tongue out at Veronica's unnecessary "speech".
    
  
  
  
      I ponder at Veronica's comment. How can something be funnier at 2Am if Goodreads said you posted that comment at 10:50PM?
    
  
  
  
      I think for a moment about the oddity that I in fact did post my comment at approximately 2AM. I then take into consideration the time zones and realize that goodreads must not run on eastern standard time.
    
      I start to ponder. What time does Goodreads run on?
    
  
  
  
      I feel sad because the last comment by besides myself was in July.
