Although I can drive quite confidently in the snow I'm glad I have tomorrow off work and can avoid driving in the snow which is supposed to be happening constantly the rest of tonight and well into tomorrow. The weather made it get unnaturally dark today and after I went to Borders for what was supposed to a bit of shopping and turned into me buying way more than I should've, something that happens everytime I get into a book store, I did one of three things I always do in gloomy weather.
1. Watch a scary movie.
2. Read a book/comic/manga.
3. Write a fanfic/story.
This time it was #1 followed by #2 and maybe #3 later. First, I fell back on my favorite scary movie which never fails to freak me out, Event Horizon. I should make icons for this movie. I love it that much. And no matter how many times I watch it I always get majorly creeped out by it and Sam Neill. Seriously! The movie bugs me so much I wonder HOW I can love it because it genuinely freaks me out but I watch it again and again. I think I'm a masochist with it.
Anyway! I just got done reading Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief and Percy starts out a totally whiny almost emo protagonist but he gets much better. Annabeth is extremely likable but I'm probably just partial to anyone related to Athena. Although I twitch at the idea of Athena with mortal men. She was always one of the most gay goddesses to me. I mean, the whole myth with her and Pallas and everything. Ah well. There's still Artemis and her nymphs.
After reading the book I'm looking forward to the movie so much more. Although from previews I'm wondering how closely they follow the book. It could just be editing for the trailers though. The kid seems much older than twelve in the movie but that could just be my faulty eyes. I dunno. I highly doubt I'll end up getting into the fandom unless there's some serious slashable female characters popping up. While I like Annabeth quite a bit but she's no Hermione Granger. But Hermione would be a perfect kid for Athena. lol. She totally fits.
ETA: I also saw this book in Borders and am sorely tempted to buy it for many of the much cheaper prices listed here. Come on! Vampire Pirates! Vampirates! It's quality. You know it is.
