I say date because books steals your time, lets you forget about the world and drags you into another one... and boy was this new world scary T_T
I know a journal entry isn't supposed to be used as a depressed blog, but really, I have to publish this warning somewhere...
Yeah, it has been on the market for awhile and it has split the crowd of young people in two.
I am of cause speaking of Twilight, the book. The ugliest little fucker that has ever been published I dare say.
It started in my case as a piece of fanart I found on Deviant some years ago, then the book was published in my country and soon after the movie came. I heard alot about it and it seemed like people either loved it or hated it. I thought the haters were silly because it's in these days to be negative about everything, and the lovers, well, I kinda don't listen to fangirls (when you've been to a couple of j-pop contests, you lose faith in the fangirlism immidiately).
I watched the movie on the internet (no-no-no! It was legal I swear -3-) and thought it was okay. It wasn't good, but in some way I liked the totally naive atmosphere among the characters and the visions were pretty, and the piano-scene, but that's only because of the music. But well, to be honest I thought it was one of those movies you watch and forget soon after.
Now, one and a half year later I am pretty bored when I am alone and is in the need for entertainment and I find the book on cd while shopping. Yeah I know I said that I read it, but I lied... I tell you: 13 hours and 1 minute later I fell like my soul has been raped and my brain cooked in pee.
I thought books like that was surposed to be E-N-T-E-R-T-A-I-N-I-N-G, but the constant abuse of the same misleading words over and over again alone could've made me wanna strangle someone. I love languages and to me they are a precious gift which deserves to be used with respect, but Meyer's embarrisingly poor vocabulary makes it impossible to enjoy the language. Maybe the reader helped a great deal on the bad feeling the whole thing gave me. She is not a part of the book, but she is a reader. First of all, she pronounced Carlisle's name wrong and the tone she used throughout the entire book was bitter and mechanical and I hated her voice.
The story doesn't help much either. A pessimistic teenage girl moves to a town which she hates, to live with her father who she despises (without any good reason too, if anything she should hate her selfish mother), and goes to a school where everyone apperantly wants to be her boyfriend blah blah blah... Meanwhile she decides to fall the the one guy (vampire) who's a dick to her because he looks good, smells nice and sparkles in sunlight. What a mature basis to plant your loveseed on, Bella.
We all know what happens with those two, endless conversations about zero and detailed describtions about the supposed to be perfect and exciting Edward Cullen. After using the words "perfect", "beautiful", "Adonis" and "cold" on Edward a billion times the boring plot arrives during a baseball game with Edward's peeeeeeeeeeerfect vampire-family. Some douche-pire shows up and tries by all mean to make the non-story interesting by wanting to haunt Bella down and drink her blood, because.... um, because he can? That ought to be the lamest motivation for a villan I've ever heard, and I thought snow white's stepmother had a lame excuse to be evil. This is just unnecessary.
Who could ever FIND this exciting??? O_o
Anyway, the Cullens flees with Bella while the ebil douche-pire follows them. I don't really know what happens during those chapters. It is really messy and boring.
But well, somehow Bella manage to end up in a ballet studio with the douche-pire who wants to make a movie while eating her... sounds like a bad porn to me. He basically throughs Bella around, breaking her bones while speaking about Edward's sister Alice (fuck you so much Meyer!) until Meyer decides to give Bella a black-out because her vocabulary doesn't contain "action" (THAT I found very disappointed, because I had wondered about how Meyer had written the fight-scene when I saw the movie) and the only thing I'd looked forward to was completely skipped/ignored/neclected/forgot - see! it isn't that hard to use synonyms >_<
The rest that is left of the book is just painful and boring. It's supposed to end with the big, romantic prom and a kiiiiss but I didn't pay that much attention by that time and I don't care.
My conclusion: If you appreciate good literature then don't go anywhere near this book! I am DEAD serious!








and I must say you have chosen the best season too
and yeah I'm pure Danish XD

well I dont have any opinion when it comes to the dog
probably because I haven't played the 2nd game that much. Thought it was kinda boring to be honest

Pyra is a part of it all but there really ain't much more to him but the executioner-character. The 2nd game is sort of a sad love story with a perverse twist. It's not a bad game but when I had conducted it I didn't want to play again because I thought it was boring
most of the things I know and knew about Silent Hill is from the other games and hours of reading and surfing on the internet
besides I think the 4th game has so much more to offer when it comes to the storie and details than any of the previous games.
BTW check this out. [link] Can you imagine?
