Alright folks, Jenni has a new obsession.

I've been excited for Atonement ever since I saw the first trailer, but then the second one came out, and kicked the obsession into high gear. I rememered I bought the book, so I inhaled the thing and now I'm proper obesessed. (Yesss, I know, I hadn't read the book before I knew there was going to be a

I can't waitttt for this movie. I'm really worried I'm going to be disappointed. if it shows up on iheartcinema before December, life will be good. But then there's the dilemma of if it's a CAM version, because it won't be as pretty and people will be coughing in the background and that's not pretty.

Here's a scene from the movie, with him you know, being dead sexy and stuff. It claims to be a Keira Knightley interview, but I think that's just because all the other copies that have been uploaded were taken down hahaa.

I saw Becoming Jane last week...it was mildly a disappointment, mostly because it wasn't as good as any actual Austen stories, but still, Jaaaaaaames. That man is all sorts of awesome. (And I did also download it from iheartcinema and gave it a rewatch yesterday, haha. I will never get sick of James in a green velvet jacket. Ever.)

Wow Jenni the icons are beautiful! Definitely taking some, will credit.

I picked up Atonement at least five times during the last year and never got past the first few chapters but then I saw the trailer before holidays and told myself I had to finish it before the movie comes out and I'm loving it so far. I just returned from London and they had posters everywhere promoting the film and each bookstore had like four different editions of the book. I really can't wait for this movie, the trailer was incredible and made me all excited.

As for McEwan, I only finished Amsterdam and The Cement Garden and then read beginnings of Black Dogs, Enduring Love and Saturday. Lol I don't even know why I haven't finished those. It's not that his writing is that boring, as you said I like his descriptive and kind of distant style and the themes he chooses and I definitely want to read more from him.

Btw I love your new layout and I'm so happy you updated rush again! xx

Thank you!

and told myself I had to finish it before the movie comes out and I'm loving it so far.
I was geekily nervous about reading it before seeing the movie, just because the movie looks so good I didn't want to ruin it, you know? But then I was at the beach and had nothing to do so...it's up there in my top three favorite books now.

I just returned from London and they had posters everywhere promoting the film and each bookstore had like four different editions of the book.Ahhhh omg! So excitinggg! I've seriously been watching the trailer at least once a day for the past week, I'm ridiculous. It's just so prettyyy. I don't know if I can wait until December. I had been planning on visiting my friend who's studying in Dublin for the year at some point this fall....maybe I'll do it sooner rather than later so I can see Atonement hahaha. That might be a slight waste of a trip to Ireland, but do I care

Of course not, it will just add to the beauty of the country so definitely not a waste.

Haha I didn't like Amsterdam that much either. I read it last year and this June they asked me about it during an uni interview and I wasn't even able to remember why the two guys killed each other at the end.

Yay for mac! I love your fanart.

Holy moly these icons are pretty. I've been reading your journal for icons and graphics and such for about a year now, so I thought I'd finally make an appearance and say that your graphics are beautiful. I took a few of the McAvoy headers, so thanks!

[jennidarockstar]

Thank you!

I'm so excited, the movie finalllly comes out next week! I've only been waiting, what, five months? Six? Haha

And I added you :)
