Procrastination and Vampires

I'm apologize for my lapse in posting - I have been so busy that it's been something I've been meaning to do but haven't. Busy? You ask. So you're not now?

Contrary to how my first sentence sounds, no, I mean, yes, I mean, I'm still busy. But now it's progressed to procrastination and so unending amounts of time have been made available for posting, figuring out new ways to put on eye shadow, picking out an outfit for school tomorrow, staring at the wall, and so on and so forth. It's quite incredible what can be done in that time between time of having everything and nothing to do. "Everything" being literal and "nothing" being metaphysical.

I've had loads of metaphysical time over the last weekend in which I've gotten to read the first two books in the Twilight series. Groan. I know, I know. Though they appeal to girls between the ages of 10 and 16 there has to be something to say for a novel that can capture the attention of college graduates and beyond, for its not just myself that has been caught reading them. Granted the writing is very basic but I find it very ironic, in the best possible way of course, that a book about vampires - who are meant to be captivating and entrancing creatures - is entrancing in itself, and I would go so far as to say - it should be.

There have been questions over the "emotional porn" that they are said to represent, but, though I do think that there are novels and movies that exist to this affect, there are much worse than Twilight. I personally have been fascinated with anything of a vampiric flavor (small joke) since I was young and so this has just been added to my reference list of intelligentsia (however fictional and unrealistic this knowledge may be). Vampires represent an inversion of immortality that I find interesting. Eternal life was meant to be existed in God's presence and to have that sentence (taken for it's negative exchange) be carried out on earth produces a creature consumed in a battle between his tortured soul and his freedom. I use the term "freedom" loosely here, being a human definition of the word, not free in the sense of being complete and whole, which is what I believe true freedom will one day be.

Okay, so I think I've written enough to refocus, though perhaps I've caused you confusion, and for that I apologize. I tend to write stream of consciousness. Deal. If, it turns out, I have not written enough to refocus you can expect another post in relatively 10 minutes or so.
