FEMINISM CRYS. D:

Up in washington for Thanksgiving. We drove through snow! It was sooo cold / still is cold outside. In the 30's! It's crazyy. D:. But good food - good fatty food. Apple Cobbler, Omlettes, French Dip sammich. Yummyyyy. I also had a raspberry shake, but it wasn't that good. Too artificial. D:

So yeah, I'm watching JFK conspiracy specials on Discovery. GOD I love that channel. Mythbusters <3. I also watched Man v. Wild. Which is freggin insane. Erggggg, eating rattlesnake or scorpion.... EWWWWW. Dx. Bah humbug.

So yeah, I'm reading The Master and Margarita right now... and it was getting kinda heavy. So I started reading Destiny's Embrace, by Suzanne Elizabeth, some bad harlequinn novel lying around the cabin. And... omg my eyes.

Wow, I mean... at first it wasn't too bad. The main character was witty and intersting, and I really liked the bantering between her and the guy. And then the book goes OMGSEXYTIEM on you and she loses all coolness. Jeezus Christ am I ashamed of her. She just gives herself to him! What the hell. You spend the first part of the book building up a character, and then the author goes "Naaaaaaaaaah, let's make this completely ridiculous. UNSPOKEN ATTRACTION TEEHEEHEEE." Ok, I'm fine with that stuff. But at least build the attraction up more than omg she's hot. I mean they try to make it SEEM like it isn't but they fail. Terribly. Oh, and how all the characters are so accepting of their relationship and shit? Dear lord. It was 1879. I don't CARE how liberal you were back then, that's still very UNLIKELY that'd you trust someone enough to take them into your home / have sexytiems without being married. e_____e.

UIHERHTKJERTBREYTY. I mean the character was such a strong character. And then bam. Now she's putty in his hands and damn useless, needing saving. :. Gosh darnit.
