  1. Not all Stephen King books are horror. The Dark Tower series is a cross between SF/Fantasy and Western. Also, The Talisman, Black House, Under the Dome, The Eyes of the Dragon, just a couple examples of fantasy books by King. And if you like comics, there is a whole bunch of marvel comics out there that are based on King works.

     

    My experience though is that most people either love King or don't care about him. I heard a lot of people say they think King goes too much into detail. Maybe just go to the library and pick up one of his shorts-bundles? You never know, you just might love his work :D

     

    I guess i was under the assumption that he only wrote horror - i'm glad this isn't the case! I'll be sure to read The DarkTower series then, since I like westerns and sci fi. <3 (...Lonesome Dove made me cry when I read it)

     

    oh! and as a sidenote, i finished Wolves, Boys, and Other Things That Might Kill Me. I liked it. Yep. :P

  2. Stephen King... :weird: I've heard so much about him I think I'm too scared to pick up a book by him. I'm not that much into horror anyway ^_^

     

    I finished Catching Fire.

     

    Catching Fire was great - might I say beter than the first one (the Hunger Games)? There were at least less comma splices and shortly cut-off thoughts, but I can't decide which one was better. I got this overall feeling that something was lacking from both books, though, and I am really getting sick of girls in books being stuck between two guys. <_<

  3. I finished The Millenium series by Larsson today with The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. I thought the crime & policing aspect was boring like the first one, but the abundance of carried-out vengeance more than made up for it. Besides, the boring stuff was necessary. ^_^ Anyway, i have no idea what to read next because i haven't read books that good in awhile. Nothing in my to-read pile seems interesting anymore... :(

  4. i finished skyward sword on normal mode and unknowingly deleted my game for... hero mode. what the heck!? oh well. Now i've got to beat the whole thing again just so i can say i'm done. :rolleyes_anim: I don't like Skyward Sword as much as any of the other Zelda games. The more i play it the less i like it. :thumbsdown: it's way too sappy, it's got some weird plot things going on that never really seem to have any significance whatsoever (Ghirahim's whole relationship with Demise at the end... huh? does it matter? - and why is Demise such a coward?!), and the harp was barely even playable! what happened to the great music that was on the CD? *sigh*

  5. i finally dragged my butt out to the theater for Hunger Games even though I wanted to read it first. It was very good! Not an instant favorite, but I thought the actress was so pretty. That fire scene with the black outfits & the chariots made me think of Star Wars...

     

    I am planning a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon next :) Johnny Depp <3

    I can't WAIT to see Dark Shadows as soon as it comes out! I love that man to death!

  6. LUPE DAY!!!! YAY...

    wait, why is it all ugly?? :whaa:

     

    well, nevermind. I like the maractite, i think... but that's overall disappointing... At least there are new stamps. :rolleyes_anim:

  7. lol. Now that you say that, it does seem like it'd be a pain to do ^^ I like the ones you've done anyway~ they more than make up for no Arcanine. Your other art is great, by the way! i especially love the hearthstone pendant!

     

    heehee you seem to have all the talent i lack - i can't draw people, either!!! :laughingsmiley: you should keep posting this stuff and definitely go for a neopets art submission - you're really good :yes:

  8. Eek! I guess i'm in the minority here, but i voted for not fixing any of it. :whofarted: The fact that my pet's score won't match up with mine just really gets under my skin... And although I understand that pets get transferred and such a lot and aren't generally consistent with user scores anyway, I'd really rather keep the scoring equal. it isn't fair, but... eh, i guess the majority will decide anyway, which is fine by me. :P

  9. I really like it! The greys and blue-ish grey go really well together. :thumbsup:

     

    um... but I'm using Internet Explorer 9 and the scroll thingy doesn't seem to be working. Just a heads up. ^^ I can scroll in both windows, but no matter how much I scroll, none of the bottom window is visible.

     

    (by "bottom window", i mean anything below this pic:)

    i hope that info is useful lol XD

  10. oooh, gosh! I love all of them, especially Vaporeon, Evee, and Xorelle! i wish i could sculpt, but it all comes out as mush. :D

     

    have you ever done an Arcanine? ^_^ (just curious, since Arcanine is my favorite)

  11. So after watching the first series of Game of Thrones in two days (my mum bought my dad the bluray boxset for their anniversary but I was on a school holiday so I opened it for them ;) ) I bought and am currently read A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin and it's great! I love detailed, intelligent fantasy and this is up there with the best of them.

     

    I love all the different perspectives that the book is written from ^-^ and I'm really looking forward to reading the whole series!

     

    Be warned, it gets weird. And by weird I mean annoying. lol, but that's just me. I didn't like the series that much when I got to the fourth book. Then again, it's been so long since i read them (#1-4) and everyone else i know who's read them likes the 4th and 5th books, so... pay me no heed XD

     

    on another note, I finished The Girl Who Played With Fire and liked it even better than the first one! It was so good, I almost want to read it again, but I do not have the time for that with IB exams coming up... :sad01_anim: I also finished Hunger Games. It really didn't compare to The Girl Who Played With Fire, but I did love it, too. ^_^

  12. I'm With You by Avril Lavigne...Or as I call her, Av Lav

     

    ...Now Dear John by Taylor Swift / T Swift

     

    lol Av Lav... :P

     

    i'm listening to No Light, No Light by Florence + the Machine, then I'm Not a Robot by Marina & the Diamonds

  13. I saw Mirror, Mirror in the theatres recently - it was decent.

     

    Now I'm watching Zookeeper - not the bets movie but I love Kevin James!

     

    I last saw Mirror, Mirror, too. I thought it'd be good since Julia Roberts is usually entertaining, and it was pretty good, but I liked the song at the end best. ^_^ (i believe i believe i believe i believe... etc. lol)

     

    i can't wait for that movie with Johnny Depp in it to come out. I got the impression from the previews that it's anti-vampire. XD
