On the path of illumination!

Today I had a very weird "revelation" and I decided about two things:
First, I am going to learn how to shoot (so world beware! lol) not aiming to be dangerous (mind you, I am dangerous enough while trying to cook with a knife in my hand) or any of the sort (which means I am not becoming a bounty hunter or the like)... just I have been reading a lot of light novels during this summer time and I got sort of thrilled by the discipline of shooting as a sport.
Second, I really need to stop dating guys who meant me harm... My trauma is that no one forces me to be around them... I voluntarily go with them so whatever is wrong with me I gotta fix it real soon! I hate when a man does not even try to apologize... but I am about to bet that it is just me picking the ones with no manners... damn!

Since a change of topic is in order... The link below is my contribution to a blog from one of my classes last year I liked it a lot... but it is in Spanish :P

On to a different subject... again... I gotta say it is a bit amusing the latest fashion trend: vampirism. I have a thing for horror... not gore but good suspense, strong and well built characters with a lot of supernatural stuff going on around them. All in all vampires are a hot thing... they have always been so no surprises there. Nonetheless, it is a bit funny how vampires and specially the humans around them have been protrayed lately.

Away from the classics in vampire literature and supernatural gear I have been feeding on (since last summer) authors like: Stephenie Meyer, Jeaniene Frost, Charlaine Harris and Laurell Hamilton. This literature goes from light to mild but they are good... what Meyer, for example, lacks in literature in her first books she does in enthralling most of the time. Nevertheless, I am really really disappointed in the look this wonderful literature characters are taking on TV and the big screen.
Something I like, a lot, from the female characters this authors had created is that they are really though in one way or another. They are strong, sometimes a bit twisted... but, what am I to think from the Sookie Stackhouse portrayed by Anna Paquin? or the Bella shown by Kristen Stewart? I am not given the full fault to the actresses so no pun intended to those lovely girls (maybe the scrip writers are not really getting the vibe of the books?!).
It is just damn annoying to see the amazingly charming but freakishly brave blond from Harris' novels is all lost in an always smiling, shallow and egocentric Sookie in the True Blood TV series. The emotional development of the clumsy but interesting I-stand-up-for-what-I-believe Bella that Meyer gave life to in her books is in the Twilight movie transformed into a very silly I-am-willing-to-do-anything-for-you, needy and weak girl.

It is not fair! The whole point that makes these girls great is that they are able to stand by themselves no need of a supernatural prince coming to their rescue! It seems so chauvinistic that I am about to believe the are doing this on purpose!!!
