Twilight

I suppose I am not as fluent a follower of the Stephanie Meyer Books as others. The first thing I was told by and English Major upon exiting the theater after viewing "Twilight;" was that the movie and the book were so different. I found the tone and the plot were unchanged. There were two small sub-plots and minor character actions lost in the film, but after all-the plot was the same and the basic storyline was exactly the way I had experienced it in the movie.

Of all book-to-movie stories out there, I found that Twilight was the most unchanged. The story of Alice and her lack of background/history in the movie was a non issue because it was only a side/sub-plot to the book. Whether it becomes important in later movies/books is not at dispute at the moment. The story of the multiple groups of people in school and the subplot of the girl who despised her due to "Tyler's" advances were non existant in the movie because from a producer's standpoint they're not even relevant to the two characters the movie wants to protray. In the book I found that sub-plot a diversion from the main story.

The only difference I found at all unnerving between the movie and the book is the characters themselves. The movie made that characters a "torn and tortured" version of that which was in the book. The book was much more sarcastic and humor-filled than the film. The characters in the book were more easy to understand because they seemed more on par with real emotions. The movie versions were well developed as far as movies go, but they lacked the essential character in the books. The chracters seemed different and the goals of each character different. To me this is the sole difference.

First Rant...

Wow, so.. I went to go check out this monstrous Antique Fair they have here in Prince George once a year near the beginnings of Spring. It's absolutely horrible. Why would you pay $7 to get in when they're trying to sell you stuff on the inside. Each booth should have to pay to go and their proceeds go to the Charity. They're the ones that are going to try and sell me stuff! To include: It's horribly overpriced! I recall, as I walked around the fair last year, I was very surprised to see a blue cobalt glass tea light holder market "vintage." It looked eerily similar to the tea light holder I had as a teenager. You know, the one that ever kid has and then their mother confiscates because they nearly burn the house down?! Yes, that one... Well-this vendor was selling it for $20!

Let me save you all $27.... Don't pay to enter, make a $7 donation to a charity of your choice, then-go to a dollar store that sells $1 tea light candle holders... There, I saved you $19!

By the way, when I came out there were whole page ads on our cars calling us to go to a fair.... what a waste of paper. There were a few hundred cars out there and the audacity of someone to put a peace of paper on MY CAR?! Poor tree, it's life had no meaning (tsk, tsk)

Wow, I gave in...

Wow, I gave in to the pressure to create a blog. Why? Because for a short moment I was convinced it was "cool." Sound cynical, well I am not. My family complains I am a combination of cynical, hyper and far too inappropriate in my use of language and topics, so here I am trying to find an outlet. Anytime I find something I want to talk about that would leave most people shaking heads, I am going to put it here. I really like this idea because it's still very anonymous!

So, if you wander along and find my blog, go ahead ask a question and I will do my best to answer it. Of course I will do so truthfully from my own point of view.

Today we have the option of going to school and formulating "educated" opinions. But when your opinion doesn't agree with the majority everyone in class looks at you like you sprouted two heads! Why is that?

It's probably because I am conservative.....and Catholic.... apparently when the liberal devil of our time have a lovechild, I was his creation! (Gasp! "Oh no she didn't!") Yes, I did.

I will rant in other posts, this is my intro... Here are some of my up coming blogs:
~Being conservative in a social-liberal leftist society like Canada, and the dreaded "Green" Province.
~Being conservative in a hippy school
~My religious beliefs, and how I hate that people stereotype me by them.
~How Family's just can't help but be cool the older you get
~How politics is still relevant
~My indifference to ugly pets
~My inability to stay focused on important tasks, but get me painting and I'll never stop... not even for sleep.
~How some forms of social planning are a waste of tax payer's money.
~How Hollywood is overrated.


Just some random brainstorming. Contact me if you'd like to suggest a topic or hear my opinion... otherwise I'll keep posting what I want.
