ljos, as long as you can laugh at it, you're sane.
really. i read the first two before the hype (yes. wow.) they weren't too awfully silly, but i thought it might turn out okay. NOPE. the last two got more ridiculous. you will have fun. actually, i recommend finding the audiobooks to download (free&illegal. xp) online. if nothing else, so that you can work on other things while listening, but the whole part where they are acting it out just makes for great buckets of laughter. even despite the jacob voice actor being a total tool and having the worst voice ever, the bella voice actor (for most of everything) was actually fairly good. those are the only two voice actors since those are the only two points of view in the books. jacob gets his narrative chapters starting in eclipse, though, so not too much fail. YOU KNOW. i had something to say to you guys. but i forgot. freakin' happ'nin' ag'in. :< |

@ljos: I really want to kill the three main characters. I really do. I can't even find it funny in the ridiculous sense... Just no. X_X
Though I will grab Breaking Dawn one day soon (before I forget these books again) so I can see the end to this. Even though I cheated and looked info up on the Twilight Saga Wiki (I just wanted the date Carlisle was born but I found out book 4 spoilers back when I couldn't even remember the difference between Victoria and Rosalie). xD @leenie: You know how I get sometimes. Can't sleep, must read. @[email protected] Last time it happened I chatted with you and Bishie till 6 AM remember? XD |
|
@ljos - you know. that is a damn funny line.
why did i not remember? (oh, right. bad memory.) but stuff like that is the only reason i want to get the movie. i'm trying to figure out how they looked autistic. because i so don't remember any of that. course. i may be influenced by my brother who is not your typical autistic. more all-social than anti-social. your room is a mess? AM I GOING TO HAVE THIS COMPETITION AGAIN? XD ohno! mugs. smashed. ::cries for the mugs:: @dream - you mean can't sleep, must read, then can't sleep because you're reading? >_>; remember... no? come on, now. i've been awake for almost 24 hours, what are you expecting from me? ps. we're on page. 404. giggle. EASILY AMUSED, SLEEP DEPRIVED LEENIE, BEWARE. |

Here's my Bowie poster. I actually don't even have that album, I just found it at a music store and thought he looked hot in that picture. xD Plus, I needed a Bowie poster. (Ignore the ugly border around the top of my wall. It's ugly and I haaaate it.) |
I just finished reading Harry, A History by Melissa Anelli.
oooh man. if anyone is or was a potter nerd you should read that book. It is the best written example of how Harry Potter can take over a persons life...or the world. Lol I also really enjoyed the books because I learned a lot more about how Harry Potter was created...and the struggles J.K Rowling went through. |
butbutbut i have to check if there are studs in the wall.
and i have to get the drill out. and i have to find the tape measure and level. and i have to get mom to help me since there is no way i am hanging six wall-mounted shelves by myself. and then i have to find a spot for the poster. it either goes above my desk (which i can't use since it's covered in stuff) or the skinny bookcase (which has dvds on top, blocking open wall space, which are going on the new shelves once i put them up) in the open spot on my wall that gets hidden by my closet door whenever it's open. or above my dresser which has a supertall lamp which would block the wonderful bowie. eeheehee, pretty bowie~ and awwwww, he's in a cute little cottage scene. |

Annig- That would be a great version of heaven. I imagine it would be really enlightening and teach you abou your mortal life, which would be a nicer way to live out eternity than just ignorant, eternal bliss. I'm getting into eastern religions and the concept of reincarnation, so the sort of situation that book posed was super cool to me- it would be awesome with or without another life right around the bend. :>
@ Twilight conversation- JACOB. GOD. I hate that guy. DX SPOILEREmmet was my favorite, though I have little liking for those books. o_o |
@Iltu: Thank you! I read that part and was like "On what planet is that a correct reaction!?!?!"
|
Dream- Tell me about it! It made me so mad. That is pretty much the worst parenting I have EVER seen. o_o

HUGS thread! OOOHHH, I am so happy to hear that I am not alone in the "didn't understand what the hype was about" with the Twilight saga. Seriously, Alice is the best...but after that..Um, yeah...Don't care. And the whole "This is the skin of a monster thing" HILARIOUS! Sparkley is sooo scary? Or am I just a magpie and as a mere human, I must go to the shiny sparkley demon? I heard that the guy who plays Edward basically said he plays Edward as if he was a person with disabilities (dare I say the Retard word?). HILARIOUS again. I am awaiting a nice used copy of the movie just for comic value. NOT going to pay full price for that POS.
I like the Charlene Harris books so much better. I can't wait for the first season of "True Blood" (the HBO series that was based on the books) comes out for me to Netflicks! |
@Iltu: I was lucky I was home alone, I was flat out screaming at the book.
@ Daria: I need to start that series, as soon as my library gets book one. XD |
@ Dream, I like the series, it's not a "OH MY GOD THE BEST BOOKS EVER" kinda series...They are fun, light "brain Twinkie" kinda books. I like the main character, Sookie, because she is an ADULT and makes adult choices throughout the series. She's interesting because she is a telepath (info told in the first chapter of the first book, no spoiler here), but the series just gets better and better as it goes along. More and more "otherworldly" characters get introduced. The next book is due out this month...So I will snatch that baby up as soon as it comes out on softback. One more book toward the 50!
Still, you should read the last book in the Twilight series. Honestly, it was the one I liked the most. Withholds urge to add spoilers. Oh, and that is not saying that I loved the book, it was just the most...um...interesting to me of the 4. SOOOO happy to have found others who are not thrilled with those LAME books. |
xD
I actually just got home from picking up the last book. I'd have preferred not to buy it but I own the other three and my OCD could not let that be. xD I have a paper due Monday, so I might start it tonight after I flesh out my paper a bit. |
When you do finish the book PM me, I am dying to hear your take on it...Again, I am soo withholding the urge to be an ass and add spoilers. GAH...BEHAVE DARIA...
|
The Harry Potter phenomenon I actually understand. The Twilight one, not so much.
|
Nope, halfway through Breaking Dawn and I still can't comprehend.
PS I hate reading through Jacob's perspective. It actually makes me wish for Bella's point of view back. |
Twilight was one of those series that made me wish I wasn't so intent on finding out how things ended. I hated Meyer's writing style, how trite the characters were, and her overuse of so many adjectives. I can only read the word "beautiful" so many times in one book before getting nauseated. Some of the minor characters were infinitely more interesting than the mains... but generally it got on my last nerve.
On another note, I need to stop having Barnes & Noble trips so close together. I was already intent on re-reading The Great Gatsby, but in the past two weeks I've bought Dracula, The Complete Works of Lewis Carroll, Snuff, and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies... now I can't figure out what to read first. >.<; |
@ljos - you. i love you. <3
and that is a symptom of autism. or. part of the spectrum. there are so many types of autism, it's hard to generalise them all, except that they are social disorders. i'm not gonna hit you. XD i just have a seriously messy room, so i challenge people when they say they have messy rooms as well. x3 i told you it would be funny. that is totally the best picture. well, one of them, at least. @daria - I AM WAITING FOR THE DVD LIKE THAT AS WELL. XD ohman. i only want it to laugh at it. i think dream will post her take on it in here anyway, so you'll get to read it. :] ps. i am watching aeon flux. FINALLY. it's awesome. AWESOME, I SAY. i can't believe i haven't seen it sooner. of course, i did want to see it when it came out in theatres, i just don't go to the movies much. :[ |
I have not yet heard of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, does anyone want to elaborate on that one, cause it sounds very....Interesting, and possibly one to add to my "read over the summer while I am in a cast" list.
|
as far as i can tell, it is pride and prejudice. only with zombies.

Daria- I am sparking at you! Tremble in feeeeeeeear! Seriously, though, if Stephanie Meyer wants to have sparkling vampires, by all means, let her. Vampires are fictional creatures, and that's actually not a bad twist on them. If one were to do it well. Which... she did not. So that's that. D:
Dream- I am fairly certain I went and ranted to m y mother, whow as erqually apalled. XD Shadow- I completely agree. Even though it was for kids, Harry Potter was so intricate, well thought out, and overall, and excellent read. Twilight... I don't even know. But I'd say Harry Potter is still the reigning king of modern series, it spoke to way more people around the globe, and across age differences as well. The bulk of it's fan base consisted of something slightly more diverse than girls 12-20. I SO WANT TO READ PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES. I have it on hold at the library. D: It needs to come in. Now! |
