Twilight and some memes
So, I read Twilight and I did really like it. I really wish I had the sequel now. When I was at the bookstore, I thought about getting it, but the guy was running around helping me get a couple of books and then I just thought of getting Twilight because a ton of people had told me it was good, and then he just ran across the store and got it for me and I didn't really want to be like "heyy want to run back there again and grab the sequel for kthnx" because he'd already been running around helping me for a while and I felt kind of bad, plus it looked long and I figured it might take me a while to read and I didn't even know for sure if I would like it. I should've known though because lately if I've liked a book I've read it really fast and I read this in like three days. I really need to go back to the bookstore soon. Although, I didn't really know what it was about before, I knew it was fantasy-ish, but that's mainly it. I have to admit, when I saw it was about a girl that falls in love with vampire I was like "right...awesome," but I gave it a try anyway and I'm glad because I ended up really liking it ((mostly...I might post some thoughts after I read the next one)). I'm thinking I may not have actually read a book about vampires before because I can't think of any, so maybe I didn't really have anything to prejudge it on anyway -- it just didn't sound like a very creative or appealing idea to me. I have to read Dracula for school this summer, so I guess that will be two vampire books...

VERONICA MARS
1. The first character I first fell in love with: Veronica
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Piz
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Well I don't share in the obsessive Logan love with the rest of the fandom, so I guess him, but I still do like him so I'm not sure if that counts. Although, honestly, I find all of the characters at least intriguing, but I don't really love Dick and Lamb like everyone else either.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: DUNCAN! and also Piz.
5. The character I used to love that I don’t any longer: mmm... well I like Logan a bit less than I used to, but I never really loved him. Actually, I used to really love Beaver, but, you know, I got a bit turned off by the whole mass murder/rapist-thing. ;P
6. A friendship I love: Veronica/Wallace
7. The character I’d want to be: Veronica
8. The character I’d slap: Dick
9. The pairing I love: Duncan/Veronica
10. A pairing I despise: err... Dick/Mac? I know it's not cannon, but it does have a decent following and he did kiss her once, haha. Plus I can't think of any cannon pairings that I don't like, except for like, Keith/Lianne. :P

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Jin, Juliet

5. The character I used to love that I don’t any longer: no one
6. A Friendship I love: Hurley/Charlie
7. The character I’d want to be: Honestly, I don't really want to be anyone that's stuck on that island. Maybe Claire because she dated Charlie.

HEROES
1. The first character I first fell in love with: Hiro
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Ando, not that I didn't like him at first, but I really, really love him and I didn't really see that coming. Also, maybe a bit Matt.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Sylar, I think he's a great villain and Zachary is a pretty attractive guy, but I'm not like omgzsylarsohotily!!1 I also wasn't a huge fan of Isaac, nothing against him, but he seemed to have a fair amount of love and I don't really share in it. I might not be as fond of Nathan and Claude as some others too, but I do like them.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: hm, is there anyone on Heroes that everyone hates? Simone, I suppose. I didn't really love her, but I didn't mind her.

6. I'm missing your bed // I never sleep // Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak, // And this bottle of beast // Is taking me home elphie_7
7. Twenty years, it's breaking you down // now that you understand there's // no one around // Take a breath, just take a seat // your falling apart and tearing at the seems
8. Is this a feeling of something // About to happen? // Like snapping out of something i didn't realize i was in. // Was I sleeping? // What?

10. Guess what I'm done // Writing you songs // You'll give up your job at the bank // Proving money's not fun when you're gone // So this is the first verse // It's not very long // But I'm ready to move on
I know it says 25, but I think 10 is enough. :P
