You know, I have noticed that many many people on livejournal diss the Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer. Which is fine. What I find amusing about it is that they choose to compare a teen vampire romance novel which was written for nothing more than entertainment with supposed great novels like Animal Farm and 1984 which were written as satires against society. So yeah, it's probably not as well written but who's to say Orwell wouldn't absolutely love the Twilight series? How can one just assume that the entirety of Orwells reading material consisted of distopias and statements about the government and human depravity? What if he just really enjoyed the occasional vampire teen romance? You don't know that, now do you? And, I can almost guarantee that more people have read the Twilight Series than any of Orwell's books so I don't exactly know what measure they're using for "good book". Wouldn't it stand to reason that any book that gets many people to read it is in fact a good book? Or is this just another case of someone thinking their opinion is ultimately right and everyone else is just a stupid fangirl/boy who wouldn't know good literature if it smacked them in the head? Yay for openmindedness. 

OK. I feel better now.

I think its inevitable that as we read each other's journals we create a mental pictures of each other. Even if we see each other occasionally, you tend to have a mental image of me that may or may not jibe with how i really look. If we've never met face to face, then the image in your head might be rather interesting indeed. Take a moment to figure out what celebrity I remind you of and hunt for an image online, then post it in my journal. Post this on your own journal to find out who your friends see when they read about your life.

Two Rules:

1) The person must be in the movies or on TV (but doesn't have to be an actor/actress). The person can be specific to a role (e.g. Jennifer Elhe's Elizabeth Bennet) or just the person.

2) Post a picture!

 

Post 3 things you've done in your lifetime that you don't think anybody else on your friends list has done. See if anybody else responds with "I've done that." Have your friends cut & paste this into their journal to see what unique things they've done in their life. 

1. Went to Antarctica!
2. Swam in a National Park glacial lake in my underwear
3. Hiked on a glacier

I finally watched Transformers for the first time last night and I'm intensely disappointed that I didn't find the time to see it in the theatres. It was an awesome awesome movie and now I'm overcome with a need to own a yellow camero and name it Bumblebee in the hopes that it'll transform into a huge autobot. Man. If only.

I have to say drinking all night and staying up all night too are going to make for a very interesting Sarah tomorrow. Or today. Depends on how you look at it.

 What I wanted was
Simple comfort
Two arms around me
Keeping me afloat
In a sea of unloneliness
What I found was
So much more
Love
I went in half
And came out whole

Best  quote ever: "It wouldn't hurt you to think like a serial killer every once in a while. Just for the sake of prevention."

I feel like I'm constantly failing at life these days and I have no idea how to fix it. I mean, I do, but I'm not sure it'll be enough.

In other news, I finally found a place for those cats so that's one less stress on my brain! yay!
