While I was transferring files from my old computer I found a notepad file I compiled while I was reading the Twilight series. I've recently taken habit of noting book page numbers in my cell phone when I'm reading and I find a passage I like. Not sure why. At any rate, since I never gave my full thoughts of the series (and probably never will,) I'll just leave you with these - many of them reflect how I feel or may have felt at some period of time, and some of them I just like how they're written; I'll leave you to decide which are which.

Twilight"When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not reasonable to greive when it comes to an end." pg 1
"I intuitively knew - and sense he did, too - that tomorrow would be pivotal. Our relationship couldn't continue to balance, as it did, on the point of a knife. We would fall off one edge or the other..." pg 248
"For three and a half hours I stared at the wall, culred in a ball, rocking. My mind went around in circles, trying to come up with some way out of this nightmare. There was no escape, no reprieve. I could see only one possible end looming darkly in the my future. The only question was how many other people would be hurt before I reached it." pg 425
New Moon
"Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me." pg 93
"Jacob was simply a perpetually happy person, and he carried that happiness with him like an aura, sharing it with whoever was near him. Like an earthbound sun, whenever someone was within his gravitational pull, Jacob warmed them. It was natural, a part of who he was. No wonder I was so eager to see him." pg 145
"What was the point of going any farther? Nothing lingered here. Nothing more than the memories that I could have called back whenever I wanted to, if I was ever willing to endure the corresponding pain - the pain that had me now, had me cold. There was nothing special about this place without him. I wasn't exactly sure what I'd hoped to feel here, but the meadow was empty of atmosphere, empty of everything, just like everywhere else. Just like my nightmares. My head swirled dizzily." pg 234
"I shook my head sadly. Love is irrational, I reminded myself. The more you loved someone, the less sense anything made." pg 340
"How many ways can one heart be mangled and still be expected to keep beating? I'd lived through a lot that should have finished me in the last few days, but it didn't make me feel strong. Instead, I felt horribly fragile, like one word could shatter me." pg 495
"Before you, Bella, my life was like a motionless night. Very dark, but there were stars - points of light and reason.
...and then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was billiancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything." pg 514
Eclipse
"It's so hard to describe. It's not like love at first sight, really. It's more like ... gravity moves. When you see her, suddenly it's not the earth holding you here anymore. She does. And nothing matters more than her. And you would do anything for he, be anything for her... You become whatever she needs you to be, whether that's a protector, or a lover, or a friend, or a brother." pg 176

More Tidbits:
- I just watched Saw V and High School Musical 3 both in the same evening, which was really disorienting for some reason. I still feel perplexed, dizzy, and somewhat queasy, and I'm not sure which movie is responsible for what entirely.
- My next project pic is "Hotel for Dogs" - not a bad choice, I guess. Also, I'm sad to report that I got no lovin' for Narnia, but just means I need to get crazier next time around. My resolve remains unbroken!
- I'm going to be featured in the school newspaper at CSUSM for my artwork and my DDR poetry performance from last month. So that's pretty cool.
- Big news in the So-Cal theme park industry this week. New rides for California Adventure, Universal Studios, and Magic Mountain have been announced. I also hear rumors that Knott's is getting another big ride next year, also. I'm going to dedicate a post to all this later, I think.
- I'm about to get real busy real quickly, as I have a TON of school work to catch up on. Somehow it all crept up on me. The timing on this can't be worse, because...
- HOLY CRAP, CALL OF DUTY 4 IS AWESOME !!!
