I have been bitten..

That's right..
I, Arielle, have fallen under the girlie spell known as Twilight.

To my surprise, I have grown greatly attached to the story line.
At first, I was one of about two people of all my friends at school whom refused to read or even watch the nonsense. Until my mother forced me to watch the movie with her, haha.
Since it was better than I thought it would be, I decided to give the read a try as well. Even though I pretty much hate reading with a passion. Books, that is.


Once I finished the first book, *Twilight, I made up my mind that I should probably continue. The read was easy, and it held my attention. Having seen the movie before reading, it was easier to maintain an understanding of the characters, and their personalities.

Next up was the 2nd book titled, *New Moon. This book so far is probably my favorite since it was full of romance, and love triangles. Super dramatic, and kept me smiling, waiting to turn the page and hear what perfect romance was goin' down next, haha.

*Eclipse however, not my favorite. Probably my least favorite. still good though! There was just too much backtracking and putting puzzle pieces together. Of course it was needed, but I was too caught up with the present, that I didn't care as much to read about myths. But it had a really intense fight, and it will make for a great movie.

NOW! I am still reading the final book, *Breaking Dawn. Let me just say, this has been about everyone's favorite book, and I could easily see why! This movie will be epic to watch..although it might be rated R..maybe even higher.. haha. But it was not at all what I was expecting! I am a little bummed so far..but I have hardly 200 pages to go! I am very excited to read what will happen with all of the crazy-ness going on!


I strongly suggest you read this =]

France update #4

Relaxing: the key word of the day. No harm in that!
I decided to stay home from school, the museum, and the talonsac market. I slept in just a little bit, then Bénédicte (the host mom) took me to the doctor in Nantes. It was an intteresting experience. I sat in the waiting room looking through fashion magazines as usual when I noticed the French taste of fashion; nudity. And often, at that. I am still getting used to seeing vag on billboards!
Once being called into his office, he gave me a check up but it was comlicated at first bc here, they use much different instruments from Americans. In the end, he prescribed me not one, not two, but FOUR medecations! He assured me that by tomorrow morning, I should be fully healed. Let's wait and see!

I returned home alone; bc Bénédicte had to work. Well the maid was there, so not entierly alone. I stayed in bed, had a nice gmail chat with Ethan, made a white fish fillet, and rested some more.
Once I woke up, I decided it was about time for another Death Note dosage! I decided to watch the first live action movie. =)
Once that was finished, I was browsing sites and found out that there will be the unwritten 3rd movie out to theaters in America for two nights only! April 29th, and 30th!!!! Not to mention, there are only 400 theaters showing the film, and my top choice theater is showing both of them! I don't know about any of you, but I sure am going! This movie will be all about L, and his last 23 days of living.
Perhaps in a fez I will start the second movie.

Isabelle is off at a pizzaria with her class, and the parents are both working late tonight, so it doesn't look like there will be a big dinner. Maybe I will have a bowl of Special K red berries for dinner to feel at home =)
My home sickness has gone severely down since yesterday. I was able to talk to my loved ones though. I kind of think everyone at home is actually enjoying the alone time now. Not necessarily in a bad way, but I think the guys are happy to have some free time from hanging out. My dad probably likes having the house to himself, and I bet Ethan is taking advantage of this, not having to give up his two free days to see me. Men need their time, as we women need ours, am I right? =)

I talked to Bénédicte about a tattoo, and she was really on board!! =D she told me she might come with me tomorrow to check out the place and make sure they are steril! I really love the family I am staying with. Hopefully when I get home to Seattle; I could send a personalized thank you gift basket with things I've learned they love from America =)

Alors..I am going to get back to my french soap opera! hehe

Huggissies!!! xo

A little some-m some-m

Well it has been quite some time since my last post on Blogspot.
Unfortunately, I have no followers who look forwards to reading something new.
I am not too disappointed, considering none of my friends have an account on this site. Hopefully someone will stumble across my postings and choose to KIP with me =]
I officially have 11, almost 10 days until I am leaving to attend high school in FRANCE. Not only am I thrilled beyond believe, because it is my DREAM city, and I speak the language, but I am also frightened of feeling alone. What if the people I am staying with do not like me? What if I get too homesick? I understand it will be hard leaving behind the people I love for a short period of time, but part of me feels a bit better about leaving, since someone dear to my heart is not hessitant at all about leaving for an entire summer. And I thought 3 weeks would be hard enough! But MONTHS? I'm puzzled how easy it is for them to want to be gone for so long.. but then again, this is typical. For I am only a girl. A sensitive girl, at that. Part of me does not want to think about anyone I will be leaving behind when I am gone, only to make me feel better, knowing that some day in the partial near future, they will not be thinking of what is left behind in such a city feeling empty and un-like home.
Maybe someday, I will find a home in France.. it seems as if all of my closest friends live hundreds of miles away from me anyways, so maybe I would enjoy life more if I were surrounded by people who could get closer to me. I don't know why it has been so hard for me to keep friendships here in Seattle. I know I am a good friend. I care more than most feel is possible. Hell, I even care so much about the people I should want to hurt. It is so hard for me to actually be mean. Sure, it is easy when something is bothering me, but when something is actually said to someone by me, I feel a tremendous overwhelming feel of guilt.
For once I wish someone who shares interest with me would come out and tell me they think I am a good person, and would want to hang out sometime, and actually follow through with it. I just want to shop, and try different makeup looks and have dorky photo shoots together while laughing hard at a movie and driving around on pointless adventures. I don't want to live a boring life. I want more than one person to turn too. I need a friend. A real, genuine friend. How do I find one? I lost the only one I had to someone who they can drink their problems away with. That's not me. I have tried myspace, but the nice people either never reveal themselves to anyone, or live oh so far.
On a better note, I fell in love with a "note"; Death Note. From episode one, I am hooked. ahh..the suspense eats at you ferociously, and you can not help but let it. sure, it's in one of the most annoying languages known to my ears..Japanese..and you have to read it..but it is soooooo good, I can not stop paying close attention. I'm eating it, drinking it all in..and I love the taste. I encourage everyone to begin watching this series!
And my fingernails are starting to grow back! I plan to keep them untouched until I leave for France, so they will be long and healthy. Then I will probably make a new patter for them. Nail polish is a simple passion of mine. I currently have cheetah print nails! Hopefully soon I will get to go pick out new colors..NEON colors. I love my nails to stand out. My next paint job will be to make them match my new LOVELY jacket!! [picture up soonish?] I bought it at H&M and it has so many bright colorful plaid-ish squares.
Well, until next time..possible tomorrow. Hopefully some followers soon?
Au Revoir
