awwsomeways!

Ok, I’ve decided. I think I’m going to like this series. It’s very light, easy to read - doesn’t take long to follow the story. It’s no literature - but hey, it’s entertaining, with Bubba ‘Presley’ the Vampire. And Sookie’s narratives get better as the book progressed. 

I must admit that I almost stopped at book 1, because I didn’t like the story then. But I thought of giving the second book a try, and it gets really entertaining - if not interesting.

I like the fact that Sookie is a kick-ass bitch who doesn’t want to turn into a vampire :). She has thick moral fibers and saved a lot of people - sometimes all by herself. She doesn’t let people kick her around, she’d kick back.

My favorite quote, (I thought this was hilarious!) 

“It occured to me that I was lethal for exes. I’d dusted Bill’s big love (and his mom - maker. ed); now I’d killed Alcide’s off-and-on-again sweetie. I knew hundreds of men. I’d neve gone homicidal on their exes. But creatures I cared about, well, that seemed to be different. I wondered if Eric had any old girlfriends around. Probably about a hundred or so. Well, they’d better beware of me” - Sookie Stackhouse.

I noticed that people mixed up the term perfectionist (being one myself) with control freak. They’re actually different. Perfectionists usually want to do things right but they don’t necessarily force other people to follow their way. While control freaks are pushy, think that their way is the best way and there’s no other way. I know a few people like that :)

In psychology-related slang, control freak is a derogatory term for a person who attempts to dictate how everything around them is done. It can also refer to someone with a limited number of things that they want done a specific way; professor of clinical psychology Les Parrott wrote that “Control Freaks are people who care more than you do about something and won’t stop at being pushy to get their way.”[1] In some cases, the control freak sees their constant intervention as beneficial or even necessary; this can be caused by feelings of superiority, believing that others are incapable of handling matters properly, or the fear that things will go wrong if they don’t attend to every detail. In other cases, they may simply enjoy the feeling of power it gives them so much that they automatically try to gain control of everything around them.

I’m so nervous. Not liking long traveling anymore. 3 weeks is too long. On the plus side, I get to ride SQ business class. Hmm. Let’s see if they play ‘new moon’ on the flight :)

He patiently told me the tricks and stuff and never said a bad word eventhough I know I suck!

But sucking is part of learning. I’ll be better :)

Started reading the first book of the series. It’s getting weirder since it hinted that Elvis Presley didn’t actually die and became a vampire! lol! (The name Elvis is not mentioned in the book. He was just mentioned as the ‘man from memphis’ called Bubba).

I still haven’t decided whether I like this book. It’s ok for a light reading but It’s not really my cup of tea. If the story gets weirder, I may want to stop. (Just like I stopped everything about Grey’s Anatomy, Heroes, Lost etc).
