It seems appropriate that I be happy on the day that an excerpt from the next installement of my favorite series comes out. However, upon reading the excerpt from Charmed Thirds, I become nauseous and worry that I might vomit. YES. It made me sick to my stomach.
Now, keep in mind, it is not because the writing is bad (though it is not what I am used to anymore, it still contains significance). Nor is it because something bad happens in the few short pages I read. It wasn't like the "next on the oc" previews where you worry that the beautiful couples might break up. That is a horrific experiance, albeit, but not nearly as apocalyptic as what happened when reading that excerpt.
Jessica Darling sounds like Eva. YES. Chris's Eva. The Eva who woukld write in her blog every day and night. The one girl who irks me, the one girl who makes me feel like I am not worth it. The one girl who immediatly lowers my self esteem to a freezing level low. Even though I know that I am ten times hotter and better then she could ever be. She is the one person who makes me realize that no matter how hard I work or how great I become, I can never have the one thing I want. And the books which comforted me during these times, and helped keep me alive while admitting to the fact that Chris would NEVER choose me, are now reminding me of exactly the same things they used to shelter me from. Jessica Darling sounds like Chris's FUCKING Eva (oh god, those words don't sound good together).
See the entire excerpt, Jessica Darling was talking about how far away she was from her beloved. And how stressed she was that he lived just down the hall from some hot naked girl (NO! I am not hot and naked...at least not naked). How much she misses him and how hard it is being away. How perfect her boyfriend is and how great it is to hear him talk. BLAH BLAH BLAH. The real kicker is, she ends with MARCUS! MARCUS IS HERE! which is what Eva did when Chris went to Mass. to see her (even though we all know that if your boyfriend just walked into the room you wouldn't truely bother typing/writing about it. You would fucking...well, fuck him. It works in a novel, not a stupid blog.)
This realization hurt for awhile. So much so that I considered never picking up the books again. I thought about not buying this third book, and never speaking of Jessica Darling again. But, then I remembered, Chris could never be Marcus. Never in a thousand years. Andy. He could be Marcus. he is HOT. Heath Ledger could be Marcus too! But, Chris...never.
Anyways...
