One of the best young adult novelists America has ever known. She's one of the only authors I know of who depicts the ideal teenager as not a quiet, popular, polite, content straight-A soccer-player with gorgeous blonde hair and boobs the size of boulders, but as a young adult who does what makes them feel good and takes the time to consider their feelings and mental health, proceeding to share their thoughts with others. Her most popular novel, Speak (which was turned into a movie and a graphic novel) talks about overcoming trauma and expressing emotions, as well as an overall message of the importance of communication. Her other books for young adults include Wintergirls, Prom, The Impossible Knife of Memory, Twisted (told by a male protagonist), and Catalyst.

Unfortunately, some of her books, such as Speak, have been banned from middle and high school libraries due to Halse Anderson's tendency to discuss serious issues, like sexual assault and self-harm, which has been bashed by the dangerously high quantity of fucking idiots crusting on the earth. Yes, the world is a scary place, but ignorance will not diminish them, and will only make it worse (imagine you're in a pitch-black room with many other people, but you don't know that- you think the world has blown up and you're all alone). And not only do her books discuss these issues, but they feel like a sympathetic poem rather than a scolding lecture.

I am currently reading Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson. I'm not sure what it's getting more out of me- laughs or tears. But it sure takes my breath away.

Elisa Haley

Elisa Haleying is a term used when someone does anything perfectly. When someone flawlessly does something, you can say that they "Elisa Hallied that task". Elisa is a kind hearted and morally driven individual that focusses on being the best version of herself and strives to help others in any way she can. Elisa treats everyone fairly and often brightens people's days. She is intelligent, ambitious, empathetic, talented, and kind. In essence, she is every good thing that a person can be. Moreover, Elisa always helps out her community and those she knows through volunteering and kind deeds. She even offers guidance and assistance to people that she doesn't know. Elisa does all this while being committed to countless activities such as work, school work, school clubs/activities and volunteering. If everyone were like Elisa Haley the world would have no famine, war or conflict. People should learn from Elisa to become an empathetic leader and pillar of their community. Elisa Haley is the perfect individual and deserves both success and happiness as she delivers these things to so many people. Therefore it is a great honour if some says you are "Elisa Haley" or "Elisa Hallied" a task.

Person 1: Dude, Craig has a 100% average while working 3 jobs. He even volunteers every other day to help the homeless and tutors students for free.
Person 2: Sounds like he's Elisa Haley.
Person 1: Yeah he's Elisa Haleying life right now.

womp

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
