I can't believe I have a post that has a whole paragraph devoted to THAT series...

"The Big Bang Theory" is an amazing show. Thank you Anna for forcing me to watch that one episode that resulted in a season-long marathon! It's about geeky scientist guys that are also total gamers into fantasy and comic book stuff...I love it. They are total losers and I would totally date any one of them...well except for the character Howard...he's just creepy and gross.

In other news...I'm listening to the audio version of Twilight. Is it completely hypocritical of me to really enjoy the series, but still detest the majority of the people that like it? ...I didn't think so. I can't stand stupid fangirls...especially the teeny-bopper ones that are completely obsessed with these fictional characters, simply because they are "soooo hawt!" I enjoy the story because I have always enjoyed different interpretations of vampires, and the legends behind them. I also like that it is a book set in a modern time, yet it still is a fantasy. The main character annoys me, but I learned to enjoy her. The "hero" comes off as a little arrogant and annoying...but I still enjoy his tortured disposition. I adore the less prevalent characters that still have major roles, and I love the middle section of the last book that is from the point of view of one of the lead males. Overall, I really enjoy the series, and the actors portraying the roles in the movies (I hated the actual movie, though. I hold a little more hope for the second one, since the director was the co-writer and director of "About A Boy," one of my all-time favorite movies.), but the fans annoy me, and, frankly, kind of scare me.

Maybe later on I'll post some more about the series, or especially The Host, Stephenie Meyer's more adult sci-fi book that is not part of a series (which was written and edited SO much better than her vampire novels could ever hope to be), but I don't think that will be for a while.

Countdown until leaving: 8 days (although since it's very early in the morning, I guess you could say about 7 days).
...I hope I can get everything packed by then. Also...my computer is supposed to get here Saturday...hooray! I've been using Anna's computer tonight.
