Those Brits Beat Us Again

skins is only the second best British show I’ve ever seen.

yay for silly drug-crazed teens!

Run away from me…

Kyla and I wrote this song called, “Ron Away From Me (v. punny),” a couple months back, thinking we were the top dogs in terms of hilariousity. Well, it turns out that I wrote basically the same song almost a year ago (presumably) during some Leadership U activity. Apparently I had some sort of awful song amnesia and blocked the incident from my brain…until I found a scrap of paper with the evidence. Compare if you dare:

Ron way From Me (Old Version)

Oh Ron, you left us

Abandoned without warning

Oh, Ron, I can’t believe you’re gone.

My love, I’m astounded that

You don’t appreciate

The work we’ve been doing

Oh Ron, your maladaptive

behavior is reminiscent of

a certain Pontellier (?)

Awake from this nightmare

That’s haunted me for too long

Oh ron, I wish you would

Miss me the way I miss you

I can’ believe you’ve ron away…

Ron Away From Me (slightly better version)

Oh Ron, you left us

I can’t believe you left us

Oh, ron, I can’t believe you’re gone.

Oh Ron, you gave up

On all that we had going

Oh Ron, I can’t believe you’re gone.

*chorus*:

Ron, he ron away, he ron away from me

Ron, he ron away, he ron away from me.

Oh Ron, it’s just me and Harry

I’m lonely without you

I can’t believe you’re gone

Oh, Ron, I don’t even know

If you’re alive now at all

You took my heart away

*chorus*

Oh Ron, I wish you would

Miss me the way I miss you

I can’t believe you’re gone…

…

so i finally got around to reading breaking dawn and im disappointed that there wasnt a fight.

Hogwarts?

Or 24 hour study room at Boston College?

Renes…what?

Finished Breaking Dawn today. FINALLY. I felt like I was taking FOREVER (Alex will certainly agree) and my brother kept saying things like, “You only that far? I’m disappointed in you. If this was Harry Potter…” Well that’s just the thing isn’t it? It’s not Harry Potter. But, while I still get extremely angry whenever I see something in the press that talks about how Twilight and HP are so similar, I will agree that Stephenie Meyer and JK Rowling do have one thing in common:

They can not name their characters.

Albus Severus? Scorpius? RENESMEE? What is that? Not a name, that’s for sure.

So I probably shouldn’t say anything else in case Pattie hasn’t read it yet. Maybe I’ll add more tomorrow. But I will say that it was good. I enjoyed it. And in my opinion it fits right in with the other three books, so everyone SHUT UP with the fan fiction crap. As the author, she can not write fan fiction. Whatever she says goes. Sure there were things that bothered me, but whatever. It’s only Twilight, I’ll deal with it. I won’t stress.

It’s not like it’s Harry Potter…

Oh, and Alison is psychic.

Happy reading!

7:21

Just finished the book. A little tired. Writing this so that people will know what my true reaction was to the book directly after i finished it, and can look back and know if i changed my opinions or whatever. I thought it was really good. It had a plot that i had NEVER anticipated. I thought of the idea a little randomly at times, but never actually thought it was a viable plot device. I know i’m being vague, but don’t want to spoil anything for anyone. Ummm…at one point i thought the plot was a little silly, and one of the names was one of the most stupid names i have ever heard in my life. so dumb. some parts were saccharine, but others i truly enjoyed and would laugh out loud. A lot of skimming was done in some parts, but it wasn’t like HP where I had no idea what was going on as a result of that. It was very good, even better than Eclipse, in my opinion.

All i know is that i can’t wait to talk about it with Kyla!
