Oh, another meme! Also...

Haha, after a lot of talk of Twilight the past couple of weeks at Serebii and PokeCommunity, I began reading it online and recently finished the second chapter. So far, I'm okay with it and liking it somewhat. :O Late late, I know, but at least I'm not ranting the story all of a sudden like Yami. :P Already want to see how the movie version is like, lol.

My progress so far on the contest? Got 23 entries done. Would have gotten at least 27 done, but then my sister got sick and also had to take care of other important things, so yeah. :x


Also, meme stolen from Knightblazer. :P

Everyone has a character they feel connected to, whether it be in a book, movie, show or video game. But how do others perceive you? Have your f-list tell you a character they see you as, and maybe even explain why.

Come on, I dare you all to answer this meme. :3

Quick response to the first part of your entry.

But you aren't the first to think that about Twilight. I thought that it was going to be horrible when I read it, but it's neither horrible nor great. It's just there. Other people that have read it think the same too.

Good luck with the rest of the reviews on the contest!

Yeah, I thought the book so far is good. It's not horrible like my online friends said. Heck, my real life friends thought the book is fine too. Heh, if Yami comes and read this entry, she'll post a long rant about it. :P

And thank you! I hope I'll do good. ^^

Twilight is like Harry Potter. It's not horrible writing, it's mediocre. It's neither original and thrilling nor painful to read... but it pisses so many people off because it became so, so popular for being so, so mediocre.

I'm a better writer than that. You are. Hanako is. And that's why it's annoying. Because people seem to gravitate toward that shit as opposed to, you know, actual quality stuff.

Yeah, I do hear that about Harry Potter also, but not much ranting like Twlight. Perhaps the Twlight haters are more loud. XD

I guess that can be the reason too. Yeah, I admit, I sometimes wonder how Twlight, Harry Potter became so popular. Hell, even The Da Vinci Code sometimes (then again, I'm not the one to talk about that book considering I wrote a Pokemonized version of it--just add the plates :x). I love Harry Potter and The Da Vinci Code, but yeah, I read some other good books. My favorite is The Things They Carried by Tim O' Brien. The book itself maybe just a series of vignettes, but the author does the characters, emotions, and events so well.

Haha, me a better writer? I'm very flattered. I don't think I'm a better writer than them though. I suck at tenses and I still have awkward sentences here and there (though I keep trying to improve on those). Also, still learning how to have my description flow more easily and how to better pace my story.
