SO MUCH CONTENT

I have to blog about so many things. First, Breaking Dawn and its many disappointments. Next, the utterly heart-wrenching news that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince won't be released until July 2009. And finally, I moved into my dorm. :)

1.

Early this summer I began the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I resisted reading it tooth and nail, but ultimately, I caved. I couldn't put the first three books down! I recommend them to everyone. They're great. Now, keep in mind I waited a good two and a half to three months for the fourth and final book to be released, and I drove thirty minutes to a Barnes and Noble midnight release party after working seven hours at that horrible grocery store, all for this book. I had to keep myself from trying to read it on the way home. Then, finally, I was home, and I started reading it. Then something horrible happened. I put it down. And went to sleep. And it didn't bother me.

BEYOND THIS ARE SPOILERS FOR THE FINAL BOOK IN THE TWILIGHT SERIES, BREAKING DAWN.

I'll be brief with my outrage. First of all, she got pregnant?! What is THAT?! It's ridiculous; that's what it is. Then she names it RENESMEE? That's a horrible name. And they call her NESSIE? That's even a horrible nickname. And Jacob IMPRINTS with her?! That is too cliche and fluffy. Then, suddenly, Volturi show up, Bella has super self-control powers that deter the Volturi, and THEY JUST WALK AWAY. THE VOLTURI JUST WALKED AWAY. They're vampires! Where was the epic vampire battle I craved?! In my imagination because THE VOLTURI WALKED AWAY. Everyone lived happily ever after. ONE vampire died. ONE. Irina. One that didn't even matter because she was from Tanya's coven. By the way, I could've used more Edward in the book, Stephenie. Ugh. I'm done with that.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince's movie release date has been moved from November 22, 2008 to JULY 17, 2009! What is this madness? I don't care how many reasons they have for postponing the release date; I'm upset. I had my heart set on Harry Potter in November, and now the only theatrical experience I have to look forward to is the Twilight movie, which I'm not expecting to be amazing. I'm not even going to write any more about this because it bothers me so much that my words would become mere fragments of what I wanted to say due to rage.

So, I'm all moved in, unpacked, and I live in a dorm room now. A crappy dorm room, but a dorm room nonetheless. Anything painted, including cabinets, shelves, and a corkboard-like thing, is two-toned and peeling. Underneath is a pomegranate color covered by a mint green. It's weird, and a bit gross looking. I disinfected everything. The mattress was disgusting. Stains and all sorts of nasty stuff. It does look much better now that my stuff is all in though. Although there are community showers, there are wide stalls in which to take them, and it's relatively comfortable. I do wish I had more pictures though. That corkboard-like thing is empty, but I have some cute star pushpins when I DO get pictures. I'll post some pictures later. It doesn't look THAT bad. :)

Glad you are settled. Have you met your roommate yet?

Katie said...

Yea. She's Japanese and doesn't really talk much. She's nice though, just a bit shy. I'm hoping she'll open up.

Know what would be nice? An update.

Forget the roommate. Breaking Dawn sucked. I'm glad you agree with me. Kasey's mom said "It was good, different, but good." I just wanted to scream, "NO! IT WAS FUCKING BAD. KIDS SUCK. WTF KIND OF NAME IS NESSIE?" and many other expletives. I'm glad we go together like beanie weenies. I love you.
