Today I've gotten to think about failure. What can you do to get over it? I'm starting to consider that failure is something absolutely overrated. Pleople sometimes cling to it as if there is nowhere better to go, but frankly speaking who can consider good to keep mulling once and again over mistakes already done?
The thing is, the only way to get away from the paranoia that sets in right after failure is to set your feet firmly on the purpose of moving forward and never stop to look back.
It is true: we learn from our mistakes but, never be wrong... To learn from them does not mean you've got to constantly keep reviving those experiences. It means that you write some notes on it and placed your notepad securely on your pocket and keep going because there is a beisball coming at you... and if you are not ready to bat at any minute it will hit your head and knock you out. Maybe, just maybe, you can't see the ball yet but believe it or not it is coming... they always keep coming!

On a random conversation.
He said: You are the whole pack, you are everything!
She replied: Really? What does a whole pack contain?
He said: Everything!!!
She answered: Ok, then what is everything?!
two hands?: to touch you better?
two eyes?: to look at you everyday?
a nose?: to smell you in the morning or while we have sex?
two ears?: to listen to you practicing guitar (which btw you gotta remember my favorite piece is "La Catedral").
He said: Ok, ok, wait! Everything means I love you.
She continued (thinking his statement was contradictory):
two feet?: to run away from you while we play with snow?
two legs?: to twist them around you and push you towards me for a kiss?
one neck?: to hold your breath and all your straying kisses?
two boobies?: to watch you decide which one is prettier?
one belly?: to hold your head with it while I try disentangling your hair?
He said: Ok. All right. Will you please place your head over my chest so while I hold you, you understand by the rythm of my heart that I'm being honest with you?

On vampire books
I have been away from blog writing for a while. I needed to come because somehow it feels good to write here (although no idea why).
Again I cathced a cold and I am starting to get annoyed by my serious lack of defenses. I think I have been at the doctor due to flue and a variety of respiratory problems around 6 times this years (from all the odds! gosh!).
For a vampire lover I guess I have a pretty lame health. Not to mention that my eyes allergy is getting worse and I am really -I mean really- photosensitive.
My french is improving and university is not doing too bad. My academic life is spinning insesantly but no wonders there. I guess I will always have to fight with all my might to get things straight right?
Last night... or should I say this early morning? I finished the Vampire Academy series and since it so happens that I have been arond a year reading vampire's stuff directed to young adults I thought ranking and sharing my vampire experiences was a must, so here it goes:
1. Jeanine Frost's Night Huntress series, featuring Cat Crawfield as the badass girl!
There are currently 4 books in the series and I loved them! Whenever you get your hands on these books you cannot stop reading. The dialogues and characters are very well shaped and well: I am a sucker for a girl in control and a hot guy. Cat and Bones are the best couple in a vampire book ever!
2. Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. As a matter of fact, ranking second I should place two series, which seem to me to be fighting closely for this place in my rank, but a girl has to make choices: right?
I love Edward. He is always caring and mind you but girls want to feel protected and a bit spoiled once in a while! Bella, in the books (I clarify because even when the movie was great for a weekend with no better plans, the characters there plainly sucked!) has a very peculiar personality that draws some strange sense of strenght and bravery which are always great to interact with.
3. Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series. To tell you the truth I like much more the writing style from this series than the one from Stephenie Meyer's. Nevertheless, it drives me a bit crazy all this I have to save Lisa no matter what agenda. You will get me when you pick up these books. Currently they are 4 books, as in the case of my hot-hot-hot number one! lol. These books are incredibly fun to read. I like the races differentiation and I like its twists. Along the way the book gets a bit predictable but the way the whole adventure is told makes it comfortable and dynamique.
Amazingly enough to choose a favorite character here is quite complicated, as it is the case with the Jeannine Frost's series. Who will dare to choose from the Christian's sardonic comments, the violent in-more-than-one-sense personality of Rose (the protagonist), the exhuberantly male pose of Dimitry or the all too likeably cocky demeanor of Adrian? I certainly can not.
4. Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series. These books saga is long... and on going... sometimes I feel there is too much filling maybe that is why they do not classify a little upper in this list. I like Sookie's always femenine and well composed tempered she is neither soft not a dominatrix hahaha. The Bill from some books really gets on my nerves but he is a good potrait of many day to day guys lol. Eric on the other hand... wow! WOW! He is mind blowing! I love his character and that has nth to do with the great looks of the character in the True Blood, HBO, Tv series. I had read almost all the books by the time the series started airing so I am pretty positive my judgement is not biased. Eric is not easy to like but the more I read about him, the more it catches my deepest sense of curiosity.
There it is! Now I also read Anita blake's series and as you can figure I loved Jean-Claude... not that Richard was hard to like or anything but I am just a vampire lover, what can I do?
The series has its very good moments. I like all this I am a paranormal detective sort of thrill but well... it has pretty boring moments and even when I like erotism within the pages of my vampire books... Laurell K. Hamilton gets too carried away in the last books... I have not read them all and I simply do not want to. Too much pornography, if I want to go into so much detailed sexual encounters I would rent a movie! I mean I have nth against the sex scenes but it got to a point where they seem to last forever and frankly I read for much more than getting my panties wet, let's leave that chore to my boyfriend.
Vampire Diaries, well, I like the decription of Damon, he is an idiot without question but I just like his physique. As usual it also engaged me the fact that he is a tormented bad boy; that is irresistible in a fictional character ;). On the other hand... well, I do not want to be harsh but these books are garbage. Nice garbage, eventually, but alltogether if I have the choice to go back in time I would not read them again.
There are also the books from Anne Rice. I have been reaidng a couple of them. I work slowly with them, even I like them they are not the kind of books which get me addicted and which I cannot put down until I read the last single word. The literature in these books is much better than in any other contemporary vampire books but it lacks some of that rush that the other series in my list do posses. Nonetheless, to be fair you cannot be a vampire lover and not read at least two of these woman's books.
I tried other series and got terribly bored so they're not worth mentioning (and I do not remember the name, honestly).
Ahhhhhh, so many vampires hunting my dreams!
