"Death is peaceful, easy. Life is harder"

So I saw Twilight today. Actually beats me how we got tickets on the day it's released. It was such a disappointment. I swear the director should go fall in a pond. It. Was. Awful. Well, it was also interesting to see how someone would interpret the book, but it still does no justice. No, don't blame the casting team - everyone's image of Edward is different, most people's Bellas are themselves. It was so bad! It just drives me mad! Also, it was so uncouth, so unnatural, funnily enough. Like there was so much "space" between Bella and Edward. It was just a tad too planned out. The only example I can think of is: "It. Is. Nice." said by Bella. "IT IS NICE"? I swear she is like a robot. I don't think she smiled once in the film. Twilight. Thumbs down.

And on other movie notes, I'm trying to watch all five Harry Potter films over Christmas. I'm also trying to read them all, but I have a whole list of books to read!

I'm finally on Christmas break, which means two weeks of no work. Hurrah! Nothing beats sleeping in 'till ten in the morning! And we had report reading last week. I didn't fail anything! Hurrah!

Challenges
Ten Facts
1. I'm allergic to apples. Not like, deathly alergic or anything. Like if someone ate an apple near me my neck doesn't blow up. But I get a rash for like an hour if I eat one.
2. I used to have a hamster called Holly (Holly the Hamster, har har har) when I was six that lived for four years.
3. I love The Jolly Postmen books. If you haven't read them, I highly recommend all of them.
4. I have this really bad habit of waking up at 3:11 in the morning every day, school day or not. It's annoying, but it's a habit I've just had to live with for years. I don't know why.
5. I have eczema and asthma.
6. My house has a yellow door. I do not know why.
7. People with funny eyebrows make me laugh. It is terrible. Most notably - Sylar from Heroes
8. If I'm talking to someone with the nicest blue eyes ever, I purposely look away, because I have a tendancy to stare at blue eyes.
9. I highly dislike Lindor chocolates.
10. I go into Paperchase (a shop) so much I know the shop assistant's name.

Food
Italian! Because I love cheese, and Italian food is obviously the only reasons why tomatoes exist.

I think I'm going to have like a complete Christmas themed blog thing next week. Partly because I predict I'll be too lazy to actually write anything.
I'm going to say Merry Christmas now, because the next time I blog will be boxing day!
So, Merry Christmas!

P.S. Oreo milkshakes are heaven.

Is that a wristcutters quote I spy?

I just realized... I left my copy of wristcutters and SLC Punk at Chase's.... oh dear....


I liked twilight alright. I mean, like you said, everyone has their own inner picture. I did like the girl they chose for Bella. Although it seems to be very similar to the character in Speak. Not the plot... but the personality.
