I’ve been gone longer than I expected. For the past few days I’ve woken up very early and went to bed much too late. I ate meals infrequently, preferring instead to stay in my room with an excessive amount of plums and large overfilled cups of chai with extra foam. A day and a half ago I started reading Twilight and now I’m finished. I can’t thank Olivia enough for having me read it. Now I’m in one of my post-book moods. Books will do that to me… just carry me along for a while then leave me stunned in its wake. My eyes are burning, my cheeks are red, my thoughts are inexplicable (not that I won’t try). Where am I now? I’m utterly in love with this book (which does not translate into being in love with Edward Cullen). It’s the book I love, with all its characters and the ideas that spark something in my mind and the emotions that resonate with me. Books make me feel a little unstable but in a wonderful sort of way. After all, reading a truly exquisite book for the first time is just like falling in love, umm if you’re just a bit crazy. I actually somewhat expected to be annoyed by this book, and to find the characters really one-dimensional and irritating, but I don’t feel that way at all. In fact, I love all of the main characters immensely. I also realized that the traits I expected to find annoying in Bella are actually the one’s I see in myself. More hypocrisy, I know. I’m just dripping with it, apparently. Then Edward… well what I love about him is his duality. Obviously I have very little experience with being a veggie-vamp but I do understand duality. I’m a true Gemini when it comes to duality and I know a good deal about being caught between two conflicting emotions, two opposite desires. I could go on for about an hour on overarching themes and probably write an astonishingly boring thesis paper on every other thought that’s popping into my head, but all I really want to do is go out and buy the next two books.
I’ll just have to settle for the Chronicles of Narnia for now. Hard to believe, but I’d never read them until mid last week. I’m moving on to Prince Caspian… actually since I’m on the subject…as I was reading about Lucy I decided that she would definitely be a Hufflepuff. Don’t you just love Hufflepuffs? Umm.. Anyway then I decided that Edmund would be a Slytherin, Susan would be a Ravenclaw, and Peter is the definite Gryffindor. Actually once I had that thought, I started to think I’d seen that fan-art somewhere and now I’m SURE I have. Well, as I was thinking about the characters I decided that even though Edmund was a traitorous little self-serving Slytherin brat, I like his character very much. My sentimental little heart just wants everyone to redeem themselves. *long melodramatic sigh* Umm and I like Slytherins… inexplicably.
I have to go to sleep… and hopefully let my subconscious unburden everything I’m too tired to say now.
Sweet Dreams everyone most likely already dreaming.
