Annoyance

Sometimes, some of my favorite books irritate me to no end. 

For example, "The Truth About Forever" by Sarah Dessen. It is one of my absolute FAVORITE books EVAR.  But, once I have about 70 pages left, I have to majorly slow down, because I get so irked.  When I have about

20 pages left, I pick up speed again. 

Right now, Eclipse is doiing something similar to this. 

I've been trying to get current with the Danger Magnet discussion, but I haven't yet.  It kinda snuck up on me at my busiest time of year (FINALS).

I normally could've caught up in a day or so. Not this time.  Sparkly is irking me BIG TIME.

Allow me to state that I am Team Switzerland.  I love both Jake and Edward.  I do have a tendency to lean towards Team Jake, though. 

But Eclipse normally brings out my soft spot for Edward.

Ha. Ha. Yeah, it's not working this time. 

With multiple readings of the saga, I've analyzed it more and more. 

*takes a deep breath*

Edward's behavior with Bella bothers me.

There, I said it.  Now, let me explain. 

Edward is very chivalrous.  There is not a problem with chivalry.  It is absolutely awesome when a guy is chivalrous.  I just happen to see two different types of chivalry. 

Chivalry + respect = gentleman

Chivalry - respect = misogynist

And, to me, Edward seems to lean towards the latter at times. 

Which just annoys the hell out of me.

Respect & tolerance are huge deal breakers for me in any kind of relationship, be it friendship or otherwise.  If you don't have any, it's truly going to bother me and the friendship is not going to work.

Let's just say I've met and know someone kinda similar to Edward -- in the bad ways. 

But, for me, Edward redeems himself with this line:

"Sleep, my Bella.  Dream happy dreams.  You are the only one who has ever touched my heart.  It will always be yours.  Sleep, my only love."

And, with that, I bid you goodnight.

New Look?? New Name??

I know, I know. I just got this damn blog, and I'm already changing the name.

And the look.

I get bored easily.  Hence the move to Blogger from Wordpress. I do NOT like the themes that they offer -- and I don't exactly have the money or expertise to do my own CSS work.

Though I seemed to have faired rather well switching this to a three-column blog.  And switching the font. And playing with the banner.

ANYWAYS...

The new name is because A) "Broken Hearts & Flying Time" isn't exactly the best name for a blog that my two guy best friends could more than likely stumble upon (after all, they found both my Protagonize account AND Leila's!) and B) inspiration.

I changed my Twitter username yesterday also to "ChickyyLit". I also protected my tweets (fracking spammers!!!!!!)

My inspiration has been rattling around in my head for a couple of weeks -- really, it was my mom's idea.  She has always called me "Kidlet" but seeing as I'm more of a teenager, not a kid, she has slowly switched over to calling me "Chicklet."

Like the gum. Which I happen to love. 

It also inspired a YA novel idea, in which the main character would be nicknamed "Chickyy."

Basic equation:

Chicklet gum

+

 Chicklet like kidlet

+

I write Chick Lit

=

name change,

blog change,

&

NOVEL IDEA.

Which means that my novel that I have been working on gets pushed to NaNoWriMo when I need a break from ChickLit.

I am now waiting for Leila to come murder me.  Something tells me I'm going to get drowned in the pool if she comes over to my Dad's on Memorial Day...

Shit.

Later lovelies,

Loralei

Fill-In-The-Blank Friday

Wooo! It is FINALLY Friday!

If it weren't, I may've died.

Two more weeks, Lor, two more weeks...

This is from Lauren's Blog

The very best thing about summer is all of the TIME!! During the school year, I always feel like I'm trying to fit 30 hours into a 24 hour day.  In the summer, there is near endless writing/reading/sleeping/swimming time, PLUS enough time to get all of the stuff I need to do done. 

My first crush ever was the guy I sat next to on my first day of public school (I was homeschooled until the second semester of second grade). Never gave me the time of day, but he was adorable :3

This may sound really silly but I have to have music on when I sleep.  It doesn't matter what it is, I just need that noise.  And I have mastered the art of not letting my iPod earbuds choke me in my sleep.

I squeeze my toothpaste from the bottom.  I'm not a neat freak or OCD (or so I say), but if somebody squeezes the toothpaste from the middle or the top, I get severely agitated.

My absolute favorite "comfort food" is raw chocolate chip cookie dough. I know it's, like, really bad for you to eat raw eggs, but it's just a major comfort to me.  I personally prefer my mom's homemade gluten-free cookie dough (it's not overly sweet, they're almost a little salty) but I will eat the storebought kind, too =)

A random fact about me is I am usually the first person to laugh at a joke (or something that wasn't supposed to be a joke that was actually rather funny if you got the words) in any group that I'm in. Make of that what you will ;)

The one piece of technology that truly makes my life better and I couldn't live without is my iPod.  It was like that when I first got my Nano when I was 11. It's even worse now that I've gotten my iToucch -- if you want it, you'll have to pry my cold, dead hands off of it. MINE.

So, happy Friday, lovelies!
