Yeah, so I'll start with the thing that shook me up the worst this week; I saw a man almost get killed.. no kidding! You see, they are working out side our class room window, and suddenly we heard this bang, and the whole builing shook. Someone stood by the window as it happened and saw what happened. One of the plates they were builing a floor with(wood, but about 700kilos i think) had falled down from the wires. As they pulled the thing off the ground where it had landed, there was a man underneath itO_O! I am serious! Luckily he survived, but geez! There was a lot of blood on his face, and on the ground, and apprently it had smashed his chest. Oh it was so terrible! There were a lot of girls in my class that started to cry(including the girl, one of my best friends, who was it all happen!). It was so gross, and i start to cry now, just thinking about it. SO, that day i was really.. what should i call it? Well, lets just say i thought a lot about life and death that day, and the next, and right now.. it was all in all a very bad, and different experience, even if it was a man i didnt even know!
It does really make me think.
I mean, im a fan of vampires, and that i will continue to be, surely, but as you experience something like this things start taking shape in your head. I think it is reality! I have never thought about death like this before. i mean, when your in the traffic, when your at sea, when your at work, when your with friends, when... yeah you get my point, you can easily get killed by an accident.. And i dont think most people realize that! And vampires, its not any better than every terrible thing that happens in the now, in this world.. I dont understand why i love fantasy so much, because when i think about it, it is indeed no better than what we've already got.. maybe its just that it is something else, something supernatural. I dunno... i just wanna crawl into a little small corner, right now, and die...
So... rest of my week was also bad, but not as bad as that accident, though. We had a lot of homework, and projects and tests, and... yes, it sucked! All year we havent had more than some few tasks, and then suddenly we get this HUUUGE project, where we have to turn a fairytale into an article. It totally sucked, but mine weren't that bad actually! I choose Snow White(is it one or two words?O_o), and the wicked step mother was a lunitic that ended up in the mentals.. or whatever it is called!x) It was a fun, but really hard task.
Oh, i forgot to mention; I'm on a Media school(or i dunno what it is called in english)! We're dealing with all sorts of Adobe programs, which i totally ADORE!! We just finished off InDesign, also in that fairytale task, and im also working in Preview Pro with movie making and stuff like that! We've just already started, and i cant wait to get to know more!(i cut my first movie this thuesday!

Im so excited! I think this is gonna be a great year!
And and, I've started to read a new book!

(or several, but still!) Yeah, i know; when do i get the time to finish them all off? the answer is i dont, i havent really finished a book in months

I started to laugh SO hard when i figured that out! I think my last was Graceling, and i think some of you guys know how long that is ago. Haha im such a weirdo!
And i have LOADS of pictures to upload, i just have to finish them all!XD I really am a sucker! Why dont i ever learn? simple answer for that one too; you see, when i first have an idea i have learnd that i NEED to get it onto the paper before i forget it!

thats why! SO i have started HOUNDREDS of pictures, some are really as old as since before the summer, but i just dont know what to do about them.. would you rather have me upload a picture where im almost done, just the bg isnt started on yet, than wait a million years till i find the currage and time to actually do it?Good question right

I dunno what else to say.. oh yeah i do! Just to get ONE LAST THING STRAIGHT! I am officially NO LONGER a twilight fan.. why you ask? Also, an easy answer is to be produced!
1. It seem to me that its "in" to be a fan, and thats just wrong. Of course not all of you think of it like that, but i know some do, so please dont get offended or anything.. those it is about knows it.. im sure!
2. Its no longer about the book, and if there is something to be a fan of it surely is the books, NOT the movie! And, if you do call yourself a fan JUST because you have seen the movie that is just soo wrong! You dont know enough about the TRUE story to say something like that! Okay?
3. There are just too many fans by now, and i hate to be a dead fish! Just as you know..
so there you've got it, and its a shame! it is such a good book, and it will be one of the better books written still, im just too through with them. I even deleted my playlist on itunes, and thats a BIG step for me! So, so long... thy will be surely missed!
SO, lets wrap it up for now, shall we!^_^ Have a nice weekend, and may you never see what i have seen!

You might send it to your enemies as well!
It'll really make them stop and think!!!

Two things, if I may.
1. Getting off Twilight because everybody else is "on" Twilight ... does that make you more of an individual? Doesn't doing something because everybody else is doing it ... or, especially, NOT doing it ... is a form of conformity, and rebellion is a very well utililized and exploited form of conformity. The system loves conformity, but it loves rebellion more (the rebels are an integral part of the system and make the system stronger).
If you love Twilight for Twilight, why not stay on it, despite what everybody else does. "Oh, I read Twilight, yes," and know in your heart that doesn't make them win, and it doesn't make you them, either.
2. "Twilight: a guy's worst enemy." My latest blog entry knowingly addresses this very conundrum (unknowingly in that it was yours). See the entry for that "effing" vampire (it is more simply titled: "Edward") at [link].
Edward is certainly a model of grace, civility, and gentlemanliness.
Or is he? Can't a guy out-Edward Edward? I think so, and I think it's very easy to do.
But that depends on how the couple see love. Is it Edward love ... some romantic fantasy too good to be true (or is it too good to be true on reflection, really?) ... or is it real love ... and can real love be more romantic, endearing and enduring than the Romantic Fantasy Love that 22 million twifans pine for as they scream "Oh, bite me, Edward!" at conventions?
Hm.
The upshot, I guess, is do what you love, regardless of the numbers doing or not doing that thing, too. You can be you, and you don't need to measure the worth of that thing from outside. You have your heart and mind, and those are things that only you will ever have.
Okay , I know Dioris rather well, we're close friends, so I'd like to respond on your comments which actually were rather interesting (and in the overall picture true) to read.
1. I get your point on this one completely. I definantly do. But I've learnt aswell that people sometimes grow 'over' things after a while. You know, for example, when someone gets a new mobile phone or so; in the beginning it's all exciting and fun because you haven't realised what's it all about yet and people are prone to discovering new things of all kinds. Therefore after a while people have a tendency to simply love something at first, they grow in personality and with that their minds about certain things may change. For example, we don't tend to love the teletubbies or my little pony forever, while we might have declared we loved it when we were a kid (I'm not saying Twilight is childish here just to be clear,it's a mere example). She does regret that many 'craze' over the Twilight series, and I also think that it looses part of it's content in the process. Plenty think "Edward=hot" and that's right about it. It can be very annoying at times. But I know her, from her twilight-adoration 'till now. She has been reading books with some kind of historical undertone lately, still fantasy, but I can hardly find things about twilight that are equal to the 'Time Traveler's Wife' or 'Graceling' , people with certain powers also getting over real-life issues. I'm guessing that it's only a small part because of the craze and all the more about pretty much being 'done' with it. I also think Harry Potter for example now has quite a bit less 'active' fans (I'm sure plenty stay loyal to their fandom,just not all, I'm sure plenty still would declare proudly to adore the books and do so but just aren't occupied with them, with the stories, as much as before.Why? The series have had closure). I can't recall ever hearing her say she hates twilight. It's just pushed back, not as exiting for her as it used to be.
So she's not getting off Twilight 'cause everyone else is "on" it, but it was very interesting to read, may I add. It is indeed a very wise view on things. Thank you for making me think of that. I like learning things about other people their perspectives alot.
2. I read the entire blog, and I really think it's impressive. According to me you've pointed out the facts there; also that we're not all prototypes of clueless and volnerable damsels in distress and have our own interests. Makes me want to ask some guys I know to read that so they get a clue (not for me by the way, just some friends who claim they'll 'never get what women want'
Yet I think it's more likely to replace it by her favourite 'Graceling', 'The time Traveler's Wife' (of which she dislikes the movie by the way) and ' Assassin's Apprentice'. She changes favourite books switly, knowing her. What she wrote in the journal was probably mainly a protest to the way the books seem to lose their content in the craze sometimes.
Those last sentences you wrote their were rather inspiring words. Knowing her, she does. She's not one who tries to 'fit in' with the crowd too much, and follows her heart. But she also , as far as I know, hated to be '
By the way, do you know if we're allowed to feature blogs in our journals? I'd like to put in a link to your blog in a journal of mine once, if you'd allow me to, of course.
