I've been exhausted and have had a headache since 10am... Meh

I had a nightmare and turned off all four of my alarmclocks AND MY CELLPHONE AT THE OTHER END OF MY ROOM in my sleep.

Wow, you must sleep deep.

I do. I was trying to wake up at 10 AM, and woke up at 4 PM. That means I wandered to each part of my room and took the plastic containers off of my alarmclocks, flipped over my alarmclock, and turned it off... for each of them. And scrolled through my phone to turn off my alarm clock for that. In my sleep.
And I did, because every alarmclock was right-side up and off, and my phone was in my pajama pant's pocket when I woke up.
Waking up tomorrow for 8 AM is going to be a drag.

Indeed
You need to get an alarm clock that makes an alarm go off when you turn off the other alarm.

You need to get somebody to take one of those flying clockies and add a proximity trigger to it

Who or what the is Twilight?
I see it in the bookstore all the time, but it just looks like another piece of trash teenage girls swoon over.
edit: My sister also read it, and some 30 year old I know, who said it was good.
Apparently it's about vampires. Vampires! that I'm not wasting my time reading about horny vampires in books that were written for horny teenagers like that stupid Laurel K. Hamilton . Go read something with substance that's actually good!
edit2: My left headphone for my iPod is busted thanks to someone running it under water. Thanks. I really appreciate that. Now I feel all trippy(ier than usual) when I listen to Hendrix on my headphones.

Twilight is pretty much a poorly written and shallow novel about a teenage girl who falls in love with a vampire and vice versa, but the vampire is really a lost pagan god of beauty, and he's very controlling and obsessive about her, which is apparently a sign of true love in the minds of many teenage girls. There was recently a movie released based on the novel.

Girls are silly.

I tried to read one cause my friend said it was good. It was a serious mistake. How do books get published with those many spelling and grammar mistakes?
Astraea2008-11-27 05:21:42
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that finds Twilight mildly repulsive. The second one is utter trash, the third was a bit better. Maybe the final one will make me feel a bit better about the series, I dunno.
It's pretty bad when books make you cringe in discomfort over the amount of times the question "Edward, why do you love someone like me?" is asked.

In other news, I love the books and the movie!

The moment I heard it was a vampire book, I didn't even bother with it. The moment I heard that a percentage of teenage girls liked it was greater than the sum of all other people who like it, I consider it's presence an insult.
If I ever read it, I'll probably burn it.

I'm going to go to the store and I will pay the 15 dollars for a hardcover of that Twilight "novel".
When I get home, I'm going to set that sucker on fire.
Better yet, I will just take my sister's copy and burn it over the stove and serve it with the ing turkey and tell her 'Happy Thanksgiving, I'm thankful that this book is no longer under this roof.'
It sucks that it is only popular thanks to mindless teenage girls looking for porn in pages.
edit: I keep saying it's for teenagers. I don't know why. but it is. My sister is well into her 20s now. Oh well, she has the reading comprehension of a 15 year old.

Did the book kill one of your loved ones?
Aison2008-11-27 08:18:37
Mm double posts.
I'm running on some crappy wireless Internet because the desktop with the router totally went kaput. I am lucky to stay connected for an hour! As long as I do nothing and just sit there I am okay. I guess I can log in and read a book.
And before anyone suggests connecting the router to the laptop directly via ethernet, doesn't work. It needs the desktop to work since the disc was lost and none of this crap works without that.
Also, driving far out of my way to spend the night with my family. I hate thanksgiving. It is like the most disappointing holiday, except for yams. I love yams. everything else can go to hell.
At least gas prices are ridiculously low, that's a rave right there.
Too bad the economy is crashing. that's not a rave.

There are things worse than that. I believe Twilight is one of those things. There are necronomicons that will not be on the same shelf as that book. The Pope will catch fire if he sees it. It despoils the very fabric of reality around it and must be destroyed for the salvation of our world.
Vampire romance novels aimed at girls aged 14-20 are bad.
Sidenote: Audiobook narrators that mangle words as simple as Chimera and Paelleon.
