Reading Twilight

Reading notes for Chapter 11 ("Complications") of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight:

• Ooh, movie day in science class
• What high schooler doesn't like that?
• But of course Bella can't focus on it.
• Duh, Edward's right there.
• Ohh, Edward, with his perfect face.
• Zot, zot.
• Next class.
• Bella cannot bear to part with Edward!
• Aww, Mike's all chivalrous in Gym.
• Poor Mike.
• Great guy with no taste in girls.
• But he's perceptive.
• He knows Edward wants to eat Bella.
• Probably doesn't know that Edward literally wants to eat Bella.
• (We the readers do!)
• But Bella could probably figure that one out.
• Listen to Mike, Bella!
• You idiot.
• Driving with Edward, blah, blah, blah.
• Hunting with vampires is dangerous for humans.
• More electricity. Zot, zot.
• Dreams of Edward.
• Chat with Charlie.
• Yes, Bella, Charlie might take issue with your possible necrophilia.
• Not that it matters, 'cause adults are useless.
• Bella's favorite color of the day is brown.
• Because it's warm.
• It's also the color of...
• Nevermind.
• She doesn't say it, I just think it.
• Edward is such a stalker.
• Oh, come on Bella, how hard is badminton?
• For a more-or-less able-bodied idiot, I mean?
• Exit Edward (finally).
• Enter Jacob the Complication.

Reading Twilight into the New Year

Reading notes for Chapter 10 ("Interrogations") of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight:

• It is a foggy morning.
• Edward gives Bella a ride to school.
• Overprotective, much?
• She likes his smell.
• They are compatible in an olfactory way.
• Vampires like fast cars.
• Yes, everybody stare at Bella and her beau.
• Jessica grills Bella about Edward.
• They continue to be boy obsessed for two class periods.
• Vampires can eat solid food.
• Like people can eat dirt.
• So can vampires get pica?
• Edward wants to know everything Bella thinks.
• And would like to censor her thoughts, if only he could...?
• All the guys at Forks High want Bella?
• Really?
• Why, for gods' sakes???
• Bella and Edward have a long lunchroom conversation.
• Vampires like to eat mountain lions.
• And bears.
• (And presumably tigers.)
• Oh my.

Happy New Year!

Forget resolutions. I need a theme song for 2009. Something to live by. Something that makes me happy.

I think it will be "Steer" by Missy Higgins.



My heart can be fierce. Yes it can!

Really.

If I'm not careful, this will start to sound like a New Year's resolution, so I'll stop now.

Bring on 2009!
