Update on Life

-Have seen Batman three times. Will see it again soon, hopefully. Unf. Joker in a nurse outfit = HAWT. Ungh.

-Level 20 on WoW now. Karira is tiny and loves blood. And shiny things. Mostly, she loves getting up to her elbows in gore just to get to the shinies. But she doesn't like to hit things. No, she likes ICE. Mmmm ice. Fire is good, too, and so is Arcane, but she loves frost a lot. She is growing, and now has a guild and friends, and a tiny gnome lesbian friend names Aegia, who in reality is my best gay guy friend, and they dance together. Aegia is an engineer who makes her own guns and goggles. Kari loves to watch Aegia kill things. She loves her friend because of all the violence. Aegia is a little warrior who is full of rage. Kari likes to go out to big instances with her friend Skif, who is a rogue, just to watch him kill things. she likes it when he gets blood all over him, and then she gets to loot the bodies. It makes her happy. It is very easy to make her happy. Her friend Rosenfel made her a ring yesterday, and, though there was no blood involved, it still made her happy because it is shiny and looks good with her purple robes and blue cloak. Kari also like Gryphons. They go swoosh.

-Reading Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer (sp?). Is good. Is like chocolate. No substance, but sooo good.

-... What else is there to talk about? Books... check. Games... check. Batman? Nope... check. Hmm. I'm out then. Gotsta hit 21 soon yo!

3 books meme

Because I'm not tired yet.

* Three books that have marked your childhood...
- Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis: This book was my favorite of the Narnia books. I loved that the heroes were back, loved seeing them dig through their castle and realize Narnia had never been a dream, loved the general idea. I need to read it again...
-The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams: Because. Yes. I bought it for my little cousin just so she could feel the power.
-Number the Stars by Lois Lowry - Because it haunted me.
And I know I can only have three, but Animorphs should feature because omg I devoured that series. And it influenced my perception. A lot. Did anyone else wonder who around them was really an alien? >.>;

* ... and your teenagehood :
-The Vampire Armand by Anne Rice- Because this book treated sexuality with a whole new level of... permissiveness. I remember being amazed at how the whipping scene was so... new to me. But, thanks to Anne Rice, even if she is a bitch, my (very important) teen years were void of any kind sexual prejudice.
-Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Weiss and Hickman - Because this was my first real fanatsy book. And I've ever had a love for the dark characters since I read it. Raistlin and Tas... best characters ever. "We’ll go out through the kitchen" is a line that still makes me feel all tingly.
-Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Because I learned that it doesn't always have to be so damned serious! <3 Marvin (and few other lines from books have been used as extensively as "42") And because I know where my towel is.

* Your three favourite books (only 3, even if it's hard!):
-Good Omens by Pratchett and Gaiman - Because two of my favorite authors came together to write something that, and I kind you not, could NEVER get old. I've read it three times since I first saw it last year (I know, I'm a n00b) and I just... love it. Oh Crowley. I cannot say enough about this book.
-A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle - I don't even know why I love this book so freakin much, except that it prolly has to do with Charles. And Mrs Whatsit, Who, and Which. Okay. I know why I love it, but cannot put it into words well. Have you read it? If not, shame on you! Go!
-Order of the Phoenix by Rowling - Best of the HP series. The DA plot is classic, and the intro of Luna... oh Luna. I can't say much, though, because some people might not have read it. So go read it (but start at the beginning, of course).


* Three books you could read again and again without growing weary of it :
Other than Good Omens?
-Nightwatch by Terry Pratchett - How do they rise? My favorite (subject to change) Discworld book. Everyone should read it. EVERYONE.
-Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones - It's hard to put into words. First, if you've only seen the movie, go get the book. The movie was cute and I appreciated it, but it was NOTHING like the book. My God, the very plot was different. One thing they did kinda get right was just how AWESOME Howl is. Lucky Sophie. ^^ But yes, awesome book.
-Magic's Pawn by Mercedes Lackey - Because I picked it up randomly on a shelf, read it in one night (I didn't sleep) and drove thirty minutes to get the second one as soon as school was out the next day. I read over 20 of her books in the next two months (the only reason I didn't read them all was the money thing) and have since read almost all of it. I love Lackey. A lot of her books could go here.
-Homeland by R.A. Salvatore - (Unapproved #4) Because Forgotten Realms cannot be forgotten (lol punny), even if I'm kinda over it now. Because Drizzt hadn't started to drive me crazy yet. This was back when he was both mortal and "human," unlike now. I don't like all-powerful characters much. I loved vulnerable!Drizz't. Oh Zaknefien...

* Three books you've read or are reading recently :
-American Gods by Neil Gaiman - Could have made it into either of the above categories. >.> Such a good book. SO. Good. Gaiman is a wonderful author.
-Making Money by Terry Pratchett - His newest book, and one that lived up to his name. I liked its prequel (Going Postal) a bit better, but that's just me. He, along with Gaiman and Lackey, is one of my favorite authors. Discworld is a classic.
-Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte - Because classics can be good. I'm reading it for class, have read it before, and actually like it this time around. It's really a good story.

* Three books that you'll read soon :
Do normal people plan this out?
-The Mill on the Floss - It's for class and I know nothing about it. /shrug
-The Wee Free Men by Pratchett - I hope. I'm looking at buying it right now on Amazon. >.> Someone take my credit card away. -_-;
- I am drawing a blank. There are so many books I want to read, but I don't know what I'll actually get to read yet. -_-; Probably something Gaiman or Pratchett.

* And one special, fetish book that you'd keep with yourself all the time :
>.> I got nothing
