This saturday I saw the movie twilight based on the insanely popular book (twilight) by stepehenie meyer. I was simply amazed. I knew the fans begged pleaded and petitioned to have this movie made exactly as the book and boy did Summit entertainment deliver. I think they knew if the fans didn't get what they wanted chaos would come upon them. The first time they must have noticed this was the first time they announced doing the movie and withing a day over a million hits attacked the site asking who was being casted and giving their own opinions on who should be casted and why they love this movie so much. Obsessed? Yes I am one of those poeple who read the fanfiction write my own little oneshots and mini stories on what I would like to happen in the story. And yes I did dream about seeing this movie when it was first announced last year. And yes I did read the books dozens of times and made it my mission to have everyone around me read the books as well. It's true I am a Twihard fan and I do encourage everyone to pick up the books visit the suthor stephenie meyers site and enoy it as much as I have and definitely go see the movie. It was amazing.

School is almost over for arnel and I, going on to our careers is a little tough but were managing. We have been together for five years. For Arnel and I our relationship was never hard.. well for me it wasn't I know arnel would agree that, were just two people who enjoy eachothers company and NEVER get bored of eachother.. I always want to be around him.. spend time w/ him show him all the things I've done that day, talk, and spend time with him, and I know no matter how tired, mad, ugly, pretty, grumpy, happy, or sad I get he still wants to be by my side and he will always say he loves me. That's how I feel about Arnel as well.. no matter what I love him.. sounds kinda sappy.. but its the truth.
I haven't traveled like so many other people have, I am actually content at the moment just getting myself together, and working and spending time at home. Being with gabriel as much as possible. Arnel tells me after gabriel is a little bit older we should be able to travel alot. I have a feeling that might not happen but he surprises me on those type of things often, so.. Bring it on xD I have always wanted to go to Japan I love the language and the people and the culture is so amazing to me. I would also love to visit the other asian countries just because of the different sights and sounds the food and feeling of just going far far away and across the world sounds good.

Norman Mailer's The Armies of the Night was a good read. It was written in the third person which can sometimes be annoying. It is like watching a show or movie and you see the character experience things and the camera is right at his back instead of seeing things through his eyes. He places himself right at the front of the situation which is where he was during the March on the Pentagon. According to The Greatest Literature of All Time "The book is subtitled somewhat pretentiously History as a Novel, The Novel as History, signalling this is a new art form. Or just another example of the "New Journalism" of the day giving itself airs." It was different from most historical/novel accounts because of the third person account and dialouge. It wasn't as boring as other historical text which just go on and on and dont really give the feelings of going through the situation.

J.D Salinger is best known for his only book the Catcher in the Rye. He did have many other short story works and as his popularity grew he hated it. He prefered to be left alone and he even lived in a "bunker -- down a quarter of a mile from the house, and he was always there. He’d be there for two weeks at a time. He had a little stove he could heat food on." He lived in Cornish, New Hampshire. Even though he wanted to be left alone he would meet and be with young women and have short relationships and hide away doing work. To this day he keeps himself reserved and hidden away possibly writing great works that probably will never be shown until well after he dies.

After reading Aldous Huxleys's The Doors of Perception it made me realize that most of the greatest authors, journalist ect write their best pieces and see life in such amazing ways when taking drugs. Mescaline is a psychedelic drug found in the peyote cactus and was used by Native Americans for religious ceremonies and by the author Huxley. He explains how it takes you from ordinary perception makes you realize outter worldly things and will be wiser but hungry for more knowledge because of the way the drug makes you feel. As if saying the drug keeps a door open a peak and you feel so close and want to open the door and know more about exerything. This is extremely interesting because I don't do drugs but I have met people who have and the way they take life is more out of the box then many sober people who have extensive book knowledge.
