twilight...
wow, i haven't posted for a long time.... time flew by so fast that before i knew it, it's already been 31 weeks since i wrote anything in here....
will not bore anyone with a recap of the last 31 weeks of my life... most parts of it i have already buried deep down in my (very)subconscious (is there i a word?).... suppression is best if you're living a fish bowl existence....
but moving on.... i just finished reading twilight by stephenie meyer..... and i must say..... it was like reading roswell..... small town.... high school... normal girl who happens to be saved through impossible means by a not so human guy.... who happens to be drop dead gorgeous.... girl falls in love with guy.... who also happens to have fallen in love with her even before she did.... guy's secret is revealed.... and girl has entered a whole new world, with danger and romance lurking (and even hunting)....
the book certainly brought me back to my early teen years, when i was obsessed with buffy and roswell.... while some kids enjoyed watching dawson's creek (i want to hurl just thinking about that series), i favored something more on the occult side... i guess that's why twilight appealed to me.... the supernatural, vampires and forbidden love rock!!!
the book was a little cheesy though.... once they started being physically gooey with each other, the pick-up line-like statements started coming in.... one such statement that particularly made me stop reading to just laugh away all the corniness that the line evoked was: "Bring on the shackles - I'm your prisoner." i know, i know, it doesn't seem to be that cheesy, but if you read the context (it's on page 302 of the book, upper left part - i memorized the area of the page where i read it kekeke), it so very is (yucky, that sounded so wrong and non-english)....
anyhoo, cheesiness aside i really loved the book... i'll probably buy my own copy when i go to a bookstore next time.... the only thing that bothered me was when the lead girl, bella, started nagging edward (i am sooo going to name my son after him) about turning her into one of them.... i was mentally screaming that if edward turned bella into a vampire, that that would ruin the book for me FOREVER..... i almost had a heart attack when bella was badly hurt and near death (or so it seemed) or when she was with edward at their prom.... i thought that if she did become a vampire at the end of the book, then that would have been the most cliche non-ending in the entire universe (of course i'm exaggerating)....
so there.... twilight.... i'm going to read new moon in a while... after the euphoria of reading twilight has disappeared (or at least faded)....
THINGS I'M CURRENTLY ADDICTED TO:
1. double-breasted pea coats (i'm on a buying frenzy even though the only thing i want to wear in this weather is a wifebeater and shorts!!)
2. the color RED
3. mister donut bavarian donuts
4. roswell (just finished rewatching the first two seasons.... the third one kinda sucked so i didn't want to torment myself by bothering with it)
5. american idol season 7 (david cook!!!!)
6. sophie kinsella's can you keep a secret? (i think i've read it thrice already.... this summer alone)
7. bette midler songs (i'm watching her live perfs in youtube, and i dunno what started it... maybe it was her the rose song? and did you guys know that that song was actually part of a soundtrack of a movie of the same name which she starred in, and which was loosely based on the life of janis joplin, who i don't really know, but will probably research on later (meaning tonight)?)
8. stephenie meyer's twilight ^_^ i think this is going to be my next harry potter :P
