What I'm Listening To: Everyday Superhero-Smashmouth
While the above doesn't necessarily equal a formula for my well-being, it is darn near close to it. Finals are finally DONE so I really feel the meaning of "Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty I'm free at last" tonight. I just got finished with my last exam (which was supposed to last until 9:30 tonight) about fifteen minutes ago. While I was multi-tasking studying for this Weather and Climate exam, I was watching Oprah for the first time in a long time because it was the episode where Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, and Robert Pattinson were all on. Dakota Fanning also made an appearance. K-Stew was awkward as usual. Seriously, while listening to her I wanted to split my ears. In my opinion, she basically acts like she is and like she talks anyway and they seriously type-casted her for Bella, which would be all right if she actually acted and didn't act like herself.
Overall, I thought that the episode was good, but when they had Taylor and Rob go surprise people, they picked the creepiest, most extreme people who I think should honestly go see a psychiatrist. Especially those moms. Naming them "Twi-moms" and saying that Twilight "spiced up their love life" is ridiculous and depressing. You need help. You are 45 and married but you have a crush on a 24 year old and pretending that this is normal. Continuous fantasizing about someone other than your partner is dangerous for any relationship. Even worse is the obsession with Taylor Lautner. He's barely legal and you're a middle aged woman drooling all over him probably with kids of your own the same age. If millions of middle aged women were drooling over your son, wouldn't you be alarmed? His mother probably thought you all needed to be jailed for being pedophiles and shaking her head at you, concerned that you were even in the same room with her son. But of course it's fine when women do it, when men do it we would have a problem with it. Perverts. *now getting off of soap box*
I actually have some book stuff as well. Now that school is over, I can finally get back to writing the new book and double proofing the old book. Agent Nathan Bransford also had an awesome post today on his blog about how to write pitches from the one liner to one paragraph to two paragraphs. I think it's very useful and that all authors should definitely have their pitches ready at all times. Now all I have to do is see about how to most effectively pack up my dorm room...
