Tomorrow I will be watching Twilight. I am not looking forward to it but I got yelled at for not being openminded, so now I have to watch it. Hey, I've done a lot of research about it and the plot doesn't just leave me uninterested, but in fact leaves me a little apprehensive... it does not sound like a good children's book, like it sets a good example for relationships. I am too lazy to back this up but I have done a lot of research about how Bella and her vampire's relationship is unhealthy and they are too dependent on each other and he could be considered emotionally abusive.... blah blah blah...
I suppose they have a point that I should judge something for myself (this is usually my own argument actually so I guess I've been defeated).
What can I say? I like Anne Rice's take on vampires. I am a vampire snob. And at this point - pre-Twilight-viewing - I am of the belief that it's more like a melodramatic romantic drama (ooh, that sounds harsher than I intended) that happens to involve vampires.
But we'll see.
Maybe I'll change my mind.

In other news, I absolutely loathe my Ellis Island travel writing story. I have an intense headache and I can't focus. Ughhh this class is important to me but somehow the timing for it is never right. I never have that raging inspiration that I usually get for my other writing classes. I NEED this class, I am thinking of becoming a travel writer... but the class leaves me less than thrilled, in fact somewhat bored. And it really IS such an exciting topic. I don't know though. I don't feel like it's being all that helpful, but I don't know what questions to ask so that it CAN be more helpful. I really need to think about this.
