It feels strange to not have the bulky Twilight book with me. It is strange to see the book sprouting around on campus. The movie next year I believe will make it big. It would definitely be strange if it didn't. I'm having what's called a "Twilight withdrawal syndrome." It's self-diagnosed and completely...well strange. I devoured 1500+ pages over the past 2 weeks and now it just feels really weird not having the big novel in my bag. After finishing the three books from the series, I'm not quite sure I want to read Breaking Dawn though I have the book with me now, but then again for closure's sake I will...just for closure's sake because the spoilers I've been hearing about have not been pretty. They were downright disturbing actually. I think I would have preferred it ended the way it did with Eclipse...no more delving into the minds of the mythical creatures, no more Bella inflicting unnecessary pain on herself and those around her. Really, if people delve into the mind of "martyr" Edward, it will pretty much shatter his "perfect" image. I think I want to stick with the illusion of Edward. I was telling Claire this afternoon about my problem with Edward Cullen. I like him and he makes me all flail-y (yes the only other book character that has made me flail-y would be Michael from the Princess Diaries series) but he's too perfect. Too much of a martyr. Too much of a gentleman. Too gorgeous. Too much of everything. But yes when the movie comes out, you'd be sure I'd still flail. That's why I'm all for Jasper right now. "I choose Jasper because Edward's too perfect." That's what I told Claire this afternoon. And since I've loved the perky, enthusiastic Alice this is a perfect choice really. :D Jasper's pretty much in the background but I love his relationship with Alice. The whole never letting Alice fight thing in Eclipse was cute. The destined vampires. Just like Emmet and Rosalie. But they're even more in the background than these two. Bella...well Claire's right. She did start to annoy me especially since she started to become a "user" (as Claire said) in New Moon but then she got even more needy and clingy in Eclipse. I just realized how much I disliked needy people. The redeeming trait must be her stubbornness but I still can't help but be annoyed with her. Jacob...I know Renee loves (or used to love?) Jacob but as much as I dislike needy people, I despise those "assuming" ones who are overconfident with themselves even more. I know he was hurting and he was trying to fight the losing battle but dude not too much of an ego. He was seriously making Edward look like a saint. It's a strange, strange series but I enjoyed it thoroughly and I have even more thoughts about the love triangle that is Edward-Bella-Jacob but my eyes are about to give out and I'm really exhausted. Off to bed for a nap now...
