Thought or Rant of the day!!!

[Comy]

Well, twas explained, because he's so dreadfully powerless for being so old. It seems her 'guessing at age' power seems to deal with the determining the amount of power the vamp has too.

Getting Damian's age wrong happened after his age had been well-established. The series is full of little inconsistencies like that and inconsistencies in a series is one of those pet peeves of mine that just DRIVES ME NUTS.

You can die in a fire.
Micah--gods I love Micah. Like, more than I loved my last boyfriend love him. The only one I like better is Nathaniel. They're just so--perfect. And amazing. Nathaniel would be like, my best friend and big brother and secret crush, and Micah would be the one I'd...just....ahhhh! Just thinking about him gives me the shudders. He's so perfect in every goddamn way it's almost creepy.

Now, Jean-Claude I've always loved, but then there's that thing with Asher, and he's an incubus so of course he's kind of a slut, like Anita, but the difference is he enjoys it, and he's too---just too mysterious, ya know? Like he could be his own protagonist, notsomuch Anita's antagonist. And the way the world is falling into place around her, she needs to be more at ease with them all, and that means she needs to let down more barriers between her and Jean-Claude. Mostly her fault, yes, but I can see why she's wary.

Ohh, and don't even get me started on Richard, that prick. Have you read at least Harlequin?

I think Micah's perfection might be part of why I dislike him. And his lack of real presence in the last couple books is just...eh. I'm starting to feel very eh about Asher, too, though I don't actively dislike him yet.

I want to snuggle Nathaniel to little bits and pieces.

And Richard, ugh. I fucking hate him! I read Skin Trade a week or two ago and I liked him a little bit more then but he still makes me rage.

Oh, oh, you know who I adore? JASON! I'm also a fan of the Wicked Truth, but there's a good chance that that's just because I like their names.

And it's more like Jean Claude has the potential to be a slut, but isn't one because of Anita. And it makes me sad that so much of his presence lately has been over the phone (or that's what it feels like anyway). No one but Nathaniel is getting enough screen time.

Lastly, I love Edward probably more than is healthy. And Olaf in ST was kinda cute. Y'know, in a serial killer, I-like-to-dig-around-in-corpses kinda way.

[QueenofBlades]

It's irritated me how, in the last few books--she barely been home at all.
And what was with that random extraneous bj on a stranger in Skin Trade? Dude, can you say too far?
That's another thing that's been annoying me--Anita is having sex way beyond her morals and values and beyond what she wants. It's like, magical forced rape. AND AND AND these books are so damned rape happy, I mean, Sylvie, Charlotte, Anita (almost and sorta. Like, the metaphysical shit, ya know? Like the bit with the tigers in NC--too far!) so much rape!
And no, Richard, that little asshole--euggh, I hate people like that, who hate themselves and take it out on others. Like, what the fuck? Assholes. He's ripped Anita up and down both ways, it's no fucking wondering she's having trouble getting close to the boys.
Asher--I never really considered him one of--you know, like her true loves or whatever that weird little group is. Like, they love each other, and fuck and stuff, but they're not soulmates, like Anita and apparently half of the male population of St. Louis is.
She should...
Euchh, just, slash Richard, keep Jean-Claude (duh) but get closer to him, like you know, 'I know your secrets you know mine, I can pee in front of you' sort of close, Nathaniel (EEEK!) Marry him? IDK. For my personal tastes, he's a little too fem--I like my men to be men and girls to be girls, ya know?--but Anita, he's like her domestic goddess there, though she really ought to marry Jean-Claude just to solidify...things? And so they can look better in front of the other masters and the Council.
And Micah--it is, kind of like, there in the back of my mind as a writer--is he a sleeper agent, is he gonna go bad for some unknown goddamn reason or something--but as knowing him and if I were Anita I mean man....mmm mmm mmm mmm mmmm mmm mm. Utter perfection. In every goddamn way. He's got a job that doesn't involved women pawing all over him every day, unique among her boyfriends, he's independent, doesn't need that uncomfortable (for Anita) edge of S&M or D&S w/e you wanna call it like Nathaniel does, he's not using her at all as a pawn in his vast, mysterious, unknowable schemes like Jean-Claude and he isn't 600 or like 21? S'how old Nathaniel is? I mean he's younggggg. And he can sooo handle himself, physically and metaphysically.
And he's beautiful. God he's beautiful. In such a warm, chocolate truffle kind of way.

Mmm, Jason is awesome, but more in like a BFF kind of way, since he is BFF to Nathaniel, but Wicked Truth...they rock. I've liked them since the beginning, and them and Requiem crack me up and are so damn moody at the same time. Specially Requiem. Mooody. But sooo funny sometimes, and not even on purpose. Poor Truth. He's so damn frightened of the arduer and then he succumbs to it. *laughs* Poor thing.

Edward...I started reading at Incubus Dreams, and then cycled back around--you know, went all the way up to Skin Trade and then back to Guilty Pleasures, so I was very surprised when he was less protective and warm and was all Terminator, ya know?

And Olaf...Olaf makes me chuckle. Like if I were there as me, and he weren't a hundred feet tall, probably ugly as hell and majorly hairy, I would probably like him. But it would irritate me to no end the way he acts around Anita. I'd tell him to leave her alone--I mean, she freaked when he put his hands on hers, and freaked in a big way. Not cool. I dunno though, I must say I'm rather fond of Bernardo Spotted-Horse. Mm-mm.
But yeah, Olaf...he's interesting. And I've no problem rooting around in a dead body, though I'd rather it be warm. Just a bit o'blood and gore.

Rant; I have fainted due to tiredness.

[Dudel]

After three years I have reverted to an old behavior that is not necessarily "bad" or "good" but irritates others for some reason.

Dudel has begun randomly falling asleep when he is tired for no straight amount of time or at any particular time, usually about 6 hours, and wakes up as if he had not slept at all.

This is only bad because I will, quiet literally, be in the middle of doing something and my body will simply... sleep. Like I've been hypnotized or something, just... OUT.

This is GREAT because I will not take several minutes to HOURS waking up and whining to myself that "I've to get up now?" The behavior would be better if I actually had things to do that more people saw as productive.

In fact I woke up "today" and my PC was running a couple of programs and downloading something, which it will finish here in about fifteen minutes. After which I will turn off my PC and get more sleep.

[FiziKx]

I just found this program that is taking 77.9 Gigs of hd space... when i tried to uninstall, it got about half way then stopped.

[Comy]

Yeah, I've been getting more and more annoyed with the sex as the series goes on. The sex itself doesn't bother me, but it feels like LKH is just throwing in any reason she can think of for Anita to have sex with more and more people. Feels way fanservice-y, but in a really bad way.

I feel the same way about Asher, and his whole presence is just starting to bother me because it feels awkward. He's cute and all but, hell, I feel like she's closer to Requiem (who I love - I kinda think I love them all?) than she is to Asher.

I would be beyond thrilled if she got closer to Jean Claude, and it would definitely be a good idea for them to get married. I also wish she'd let him give her the fourth mark.

Edward...I started reading at Incubus Dreams, and then cycled back around--you know, went all the way up to Skin Trade and then back to Guilty Pleasures, so I was very surprised when he was less protective and warm and was all Terminator, ya know?

That must've been a weird way to perceive Edward. I think I adore him so much because of the way their friendship has progressed, but I thill thought he was awesome when he was all Terminator-y.

And Olaf...Olaf makes me chuckle. Like if I were there as me, and he weren't a hundred feet tall, probably ugly as hell and majorly hairy, I would probably like him. But it would irritate me to no end the way he acts around Anita. I'd tell him to leave her alone--I mean, she freaked when he put his hands on hers, and freaked in a big way. Not cool.

I love me some Bernardo (yeah, I think it's safe to say I love almost all of the men in this series). I'd love it if we could get some more insight into his personality. And I just wanted to cuddle Olaf in Skin Trade. It was weirdly adorable that he was actually trying for her.

(edit: just got into a discussion with the boyfriend and he hates Requiem! How could he!? Hehe. On the plus side, he's totally a Jean Claude fangirl with me.)

Narcolepsy?

Narcolepsy?

Not really... its more like I know I am tired so close my eyes and take a breath then fall asleep. Its not as sudden as perhaps I had made it sound?

It might be a FORM of but its nothing like what is "portrayed" on TV or anything. That and it only happens when I am in a "safe place" or at least my mind feels safe enough to sleep. It used to happen at school and work sometimes too SO MAYBE, but I doubt it.

I think it is just my body LACKING in sleep due to personal behaviors more then anything else.

[joo]

The same thing can happen to me, involuntarily, when I've been awake for extremes of time (> 72 hours), however that can only be expected and I can sense myself drifting into it most times.

Well I've a small problem while trying to separate reality from... un-reality( O.o?) so I can't always, if at all, tell when i am "drifting".

A good portion of time before or after waking up from sleeping I still think I am dreaming so this "behavior" of mine can be a little dangerous.

Which is why I wait some time before moving, normally.

[QueenofBlades]

Requiem? Ickles. I mean, I love him, I do, and I feel sorry for the poor bastard cuz he loves Anita like anybody else, but she's all like 'Meh I dun luv you' but really he is moooody. Eugh. Literally, he's like the emo vampire--all obsessed with death and stuff and morbidly poetic and kinda hates himself. Gimme a break.

And the sex...I just feel like Anita is kinda being raped by the arduer and she doesn't even know it. And that irritates me. She's really become little more than a sex object, as evidenced by the little show she put on to defeat the Father of the Day. She pretty much beat him because she's a consummate whore, because how else could a woman beat a man other than with her looks and the lure of sex? Despite the fact that Anita is a fucking NECROMANCER and probably the most powerful thing on the planet, and not to mention she can kick ass physically too. This is all thrown to the wind in the final showdown where she only wins because she's got nice tits. What the fuck, man?

The fourth mark, I think, is when LKH will end the series, either that or with Anita breaking up with Jean-Claude or one/both of the them dying. Don't forget that the book only started when she became his human servant, and started seeing him more than on investigation.

But yeah, when the movie comes out I'm totally gonna cry if they have someone less than mega-instant-orgasm playing Jean-Claude. He's LITERALLY sposed to be the sexiest thing in the books, the embodiment of sex itself, sex made flesh. So if they get some nancy little Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise type charrie, or if they go for some big hulking idiot like David Boreanaz, I think I might cry. Jean-Claude has to be just right, and with a consummate actor as well. If that perfect French accent is off by an iota, someone will die.

Have I mentioned I love these books?

[Idriveayugo]

Quite a couple of rants there Queenie.

Anyways Dudel, your problem stems from your diet and/or lack of exercise. It's a part of getting old. So start using your body or you will lose it.

Indeed those were mostly my thoughts as well, Yugo. I have taken to my regular walks once again but my eating habits are slightly controlled by the others at my location. They seem to be scared of fresh vegetables and I'm the only person who likes Broccoli and Cauliflower, two thins my body has been CRAVING! ALSO, without means to obtain those things myself... I'm kinda fooked there.

[Mr. Black]

Hello, everyone! Fuck all of you with depressing lives! I'm happy! My mom has finally decided to stop annoying me in a torrent of words and hatred! I AM IN LOVE WITH LIFE! THANK YOU GOD!

*bemused expression* Cute. Pills finally come in? Well, good for you, though it's curious that the first words out of your mouth were 'Fuck you, unhappy people.' Go, eat pie. Enjoy being happy. :]

Also, sorry yugo, kinda obsessed with Anita McAwesomepants. She's super hot, kills lots of stuff really violently, and she's like--magic, or whatever. It's awesome. Not to mention she's exactly my height [5'2"](go shoort people yay!) which is weird and cool.
