O.O

My Mom wants to borrow my copy of Twilight.
...
She said she was (is) attracted to the storyline after watching the movie...(!!!)
Oh Lord... I never thought my Mom would actually agree to read any book that I enjoy. And TWILIGHT? Of ALL BOOKS?
I mean, I'm not judging or stereotyping readers or anything. Okay maybe I am, a bit. I understand that within its totally perfect romantic storyline, apart from the disagreeing vampires and/or werewolves and occasional disasters, it's a crack of a read for those with at least half a pile of mush for a heart- which explains the Twilight Moms. But MY Mom, who loves seeing those dramas I can't even stomach, and the expression she gets when I try to get her to read even a small English book that she might actually like... Liking THIS? A TEENAGE romance/angst-themed movie adapted from a book series with like 500+ pages each, with a large tween fan base (that also happens to include other minorities like me, which I'm not THAT proud of)??
You've gotta be kidding me.
But that's what she said while she handed me my Caramel Cappuccino in Coffee Bean & Tea Leaves. I was flabbergasted for about half a second before I actually blurted a (half) astounded 'What?' since I was too shocked to say the more appropriate term for that, which is an 'Excuse me?' with a significantly lower pitch. I was lucky she didn't say that before I actually got to sip at the drink she was lowering in its tray. I would've spewed the chairs in front of me, and probably the ones behind them as well. She wants to read that book, and is willing to buy me the second and third if I lent her the first. Which is kinda impossible now that I think of it, since the place where the unopened book (yes, it's very much in mint condition and the plastic wrap around it is still intact!) is in is locked, as the people (one of my aunt/uncle pairs) living there are a few hundred kilometers away right now on a brief business trip.
BUT (There's a large BUT for you)...
I'm not saying it's lame. I mean, as I said, it's totally fathomable for a woman just past her mid-forties to actually like the movie/book/storyline. We ladies all have a tweenish girly side to us; whether it's dominant or not is a question in itself. Nevertheless, it never occured to me that my OWN Mom would be sucked into The Twilight Zone, as did so many other teens and older and younger people in the past few months.
At least I can say her taste in movies is at least THAT much closer to mine =P
Come to think of it, I SO have to find a way to get her to read the book now!

ShopPISSing - Don't Ask Unless You Read.

I am freaking pissed at everything, and that's the only way I could say it without cussing. Granted I have nothing (too) unfortunate befalling me, nor am I broke, but none of that rap matters when it's this time of the month. To make it worse, I had to endure the agonizing pain in my stomach and tag along with my mother on one of her last-minute shopping sprees, which, by the way, I never enjoyed, because I'm an antisocial freak who rarely loves to shop unless I really have to, whereupon I would possibly buy the cute stuff I would never really seek out and buy if I do happen to stumble upon any of them. Hey, not all girls are shopaholics. But then again, on my compulsory shopping trips I would always end up buying much more unneeded stuff than I initially intended to, and spend a lot of money on my meals. Which sucks for me, and makes me depreciate myself even more.
And I hate looking at shoes if I don't need or crazily want any in particular, especially those shoe shops with heels and girly sandals everywhere. I could stuff sport shoes, or hiking shoes, or even leather shoes, but I can never tolerate a shop full of glittery girly shoes- the sight makes me disoriented and almost puke and I would only really manage going into one for a family member or friend, but not excessively. Same with clothes, bags and anything girly of the like. I do, however, love large chain bookstores since you can never find any charming, quaint ol' bookshops here like you see in the movies, with the dusty antique bookshelves and appealing leatherbounds. I would love to see one some day...
But omg, electronics stores, which includes computers, electronics and small gadgets of the like as well as their accessories though... now those are shops I would totally float into. I am not that attracted to cameras, although when I set my sights on one I would definitely love to see it in the display windows and ask around about its price, but anything computer related, hell YES. Not TVs possibly because it's not something that practical for me to get in the near future, but I bet when I have a good income and my own pad I would definitely splurge a lot on TV and the works. I hope they get those colored versions of TV in purple by that time, I would love to get my hands on one.
SO yeah. I finish my pissy ramble on this merry note: at least I got to spend time with my Mom (for like barely 5 minutes if you don't count the tagging and pissiness due to my expected moodswing, given my mental and health conditions and the amount of HW I couldn't possibly do without someone else to guide me)! AND I got to read about 100 pages of Untamed, which I FINALLY got my hands on in Kinokuniya KLCC. I'm afraid it would set me off of my HW but I was set off in the first place... must seek Aainaa tomorrow first thing, and then Wanie to explain Maths, maybe. I love them <3
