I really have NO time for anything, much less updating LJ, because it is paper-writing crunch time for my Library & Info Studies class. But...this Library Story of the Day was too...something for me to pass up documenting

lol Heck if I know, I guess so? I mean, I only got halfway through that terrible book before I had to give up, because..."relating to the teens better" was Just Not Worth enduring that level of all-around badness. So maybe it really is kind of impressive that she finished it at all.

...OH YEAH--and if I die, you get your pick of my video games. |D

...A tiny part of me also wants to see that movie because YES, THAT BOOK WAS SUCH A TRAIN WRECK, WHAT THE HELL. ...Actually, it was more like a train wreck that happens during a chain of tsunamis that occur because aliens are invading and MEANWHILE the Earth is hit by a meteor that threatens to send it CAREENING INTO THE SUN...and even then, I think Breaking Dawn is worse. But Robert Pattinson really just...gives me CREEPS, AUGH, so...YEAH, NO. :| And remember, this is only PART ONE! THE TRAINWRECK WILL CONTINUE ONLY AFTER THEY STEAL MORE OF YOUR MONEY.

...Ahaha. At this rate, I think all of my friends are going to start WANTING me dead.

I do sort-of feel bad for the guy...because not only does he have to worry about rabid fangirls, he has TWILIGHT MOMS lusting after him, which is REALLY just freaky as all-get-out. 8|;

But yeah, it is ALL, just. Really, really BAD. Not "so bad it's good", it's stuck in "so bad it's bad". The only thing I DO like about any of it is how hilarious and creative people can get when they make fun of it. cleolinda is great, yes, and this person's review/reactions set me rolling as well, particularly their (short!) parody of the first book, "DUSKINESS".

After my Twilight "experience", I had to go read 'Salem's Lot, just to get that awful Sparklepire taste out of my mouth. B|

LMAO X'D Of...course...l-lol... >_>;;;

They really, really are. And yeah, there are just...no words.

LOL GROWING UP CULLEN, YESSSS, I LOVE THOSE TOO X'D

I didn't really like Let Me In all that much. I felt...I dunno, it felt like it was missing something somehow, though I'm not sure what it was. And it really felt more like a sad movie than a scary one, at least to me. =\ But I was SUPER-impressed with the level of acting those kids managed. They were so young, and yet so talented.

I'm pretty picky when it comes to vampire-stuff, too. I do like Buffy, and other than 'Salem's Lot, I would say Sunshine by Robin McKinley is just about the best goddamn vampire book out there. I LOVE Jim Butcher's take on vampires, and I really can't say enough good things about The Dresden Files, they are all-around amazing. <33 P.N. Elrod's vampire series is fairly interesting, in that...the vampire is the hard-boiled detective-type (not some GORGEOUS GLORIOUS ADONIS WHO IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY AND EXISTS SOLELY TO SWEEP SOME INNOCENT AND VAGUELY PERSONALITY-LESS GIRL OFF HER FEET), which is sort of fun. And Trinity Blood is pretty good, if we're talking vampire anime. :]

...Buuuut I can't think of much else I like that has vampires in it...True Blood, no; all those teeny-bopper vampire novels, no; all those for-Adults vampire novels, HELL no.

...I've...never heard of Let The Right One In. 8|a /goes to take a Wiki~

...Are you talking about The Dresden Files as a TV show, or as a book? Because the TV show really WAS pretty miserable, especially compared to the books. But if you do mean the books...what didn't you like about them? :|a *curious, curious!* And yeeeeeah, I read one or two of the Sookie Stackhouse (...what a truly terrible name that is, lol) short stories, because they were in a few short stories collections that also had Dresden Files short stories and because I wanted to see what all the hype was about, and...I was sooooooo not impressed. Though I think I have yet to read a ~PARANORMAL ROMANCE~ that IS really at all interesting to me. ...And since I love Sci-fi/Fantasy, it has to be the ROMANCE part of that genre that turns me off. lol I'm always just like WHY ARE YOU KISSING, YOU REALLY SHOULD BE FIGHTING EITHER EACH OTHER OR IDC WHO ELSE BUT SOMEONE ahahaaaa I guess I sort-of fail as a girl...

Haha, someone's getting old~ X'D ...Nngh, Wiki reminded me of why I sort-of didn't like Owen...there's that scene where he's
