I'm such a hopeless romantic
I always liked to think that I wasn't into all that gushy romantic stuff like in chick flicks and stuff. Through high school, I didn't care about having a boyfriend... I actually didn't want to have one. I didn't really pay attention to "hot" people and stuff.. and I thought it was silly when girls got all crazy and googly-eyed (heh that sounds funny) over actors or whatever. Actually, I still think it's silly. But I just read this book, Twilight, and I really liked it. But that kinda disgusts me because this book isn't actually a good book... it's basically a vampire romance story.. one of those books that teen girls like to read. No literary value.. an escape novel... you know, all those things that English teachers despise. Anyway, I liked this book and just finished reading it (I started last night). And the reason I liked it (I think) is because I kinda fell in love with the character in it... I don't act all crazy, but inside I secretly am like those other girls that I think are silly... And this isn't the first time this has happened either. It happened with Pride and Prejudice, even though in middle school I thought that all of Jane Austen's novels sounded boring (when I read summaries of them or something). And it's happened with lots of the fantasy books I've read (no, I'm not gonna name all of the characters I've fallen in love with cause that would take forever), although not all. And with anime... and possibly some movies. But that's not as frequent. I guess it's cause I find real people less attractive than ones that I make up. That's why I like some romantic books.. because I can imagine the people however I wanted. And I always imagine them the wrong way too. Like, in this book it said the guy had like dirty blonde hair or something, but I imagined him with dark hair. That was funny. But yeah, back to some point that I possibly had at some time... this book was just a love story, and I liked it. There was nothing else to it (ok, maybe there was some other stuff like fighting, but not nearly as much as other books). And this book is apparently really popular with like high school girls. Well, yeah, I guess high school girls like that sappy love story stuff. But why do they (and I guess I am now included in they)? What's so great about love stories? Why do they make us feel so nice after reading them... I lost my train of thought. See how coherently I write? I'm amazing. Anyway, I have nothing else to write on this topic and it's late so I'm sleeping. Bye.
