#13- What medium would your life best be shown as? A movie? A television series? A cartoon? What genre would a movie about your life fall under? Comedy? Romance?

The question also pulls a few underlying personality qualities out; you can be the judge and determine. You could pull the narcissism card on all of them; but I'm not going to my blog is narcissitic free.

I think I would choose a made for television mini series. I don't want my life broadcasted in screens around the country and having the box office numbers show up on Entertainment Tonight! as some money making endeavor. I think a private viewing would also somewhat cover my introvertness qualities; and how in front of big audience I take on a strange not me personality.

Also all of the boring parts would be blocked out or thrown into a creative montage with a catchy song.

Things that would be in my "catchy" montage:
  1. Reading
  2. Dancing to music no one else hears
  3. Unplanned naps (which happens more than once)
  4. Staring at my laptop wishing it would be more awesome
  5. My conversations with me, myself and I
  6. Freak outs...both major and minor
  7. Goob moments...I could make a movie on those alone

A romance? My life a romance? Hold on a second.. AAHHAHHAHHAHA(hic) HHAHHAHHAHHAHHHHAHHAHH(hic)AHAHHAHAHHAHAHH

My superbly single life laughs at you.

Yes; when I laugh I sound like I have the hiccups because I need to breathe and well it doesn't sound pleasant. It makes people laugh which in turn makes me laugh harder and it progresses to the silent laugh.

So I think a comedy; because I would like to believe I have a sense of humor. No drama please, I'm past high school.

ZMA-Dracula

I don't have a webcam attached to this ancient computer; and if I did it wouldn't function properly or cause issues every time I used it. Soo..I will be taking the cheap way out and typing out about how I feel about books. You won't be able to see my gorgeous face; but you can imagine it and my sultry voice telling you about how I feel. Don't forget about my awkward hand gestures. Signature Kim.

I didn't think that I would like Dracula when I first picked it up. I was semi-intimidated by the sheer size of the book; only because I don't read adult books. I struggled to keep up with the page count as usual. I started on-time but finished in late August. I thought that all the characters were pretty interesting. When I read I visualize characters and thought you would be interested in figuring out who I thought fit with each character.

In my mind; every character had a moustache. EVERYONE!! Some had the handlebars, Hitlerstache, fluffy style or what-not.

  1. Harker-Jude Law...moustache
  2. Dracula as an Old Guy- don't know..am open for suggestions....'stache
  3. Dracula  as a Young Dude- Snape-like....'stache
  4. Arthur- Colin Firth...'stache
  5. Quincy-He always wore chaps, cowboy hat and spoke with a Southern accent and looked like Gus from Psych..except more burly and dirty...'stache
  6. Dr. Seward- a mix of Robert Downey Jr and Harry Connick Jr.....'stache
  7. Van Helsing-Einstein....'stache
  8. Lucy- FRICKIN' ANNOYING...'stache
  9. Mina-not sure...suggestions...'stache
  10. Renfield- that crazy guy Steve Buscemi who appears in everything...but no one know who he is...'stache
Lucy took forever to die; like 300 pages to many. She died and then they had to kill her; and that took another 200 pages. She was one of those people that if I met in real life I think I would personally stab myself because she was so annoying. I could have done it in a sentence. How many transfusions did they do? 4 too many! Of course like typical books, there are parts that dragged on and there were really good parts. When they were on the boat to go and catch Dracula in some unpronounceable place; that took me forever to read! I also saw it fitting that their HQ was in a mental institution. It kind of suited how crazy they were.

I'm sorry that I am skipping around I should have written this months ago.

Kim's Character Analysis Time!!..(or rants).
  1. Harker-
    1. I liked him; but I thought he was a wimp with guts. He was kind of sappy though when he was away. Oh, dear how I miss Mina, Oh, I want to see my Mina, Mina is ill, woe is me.
  2. Dracula
    1. He didn't appear very much and there were lots of unsaid things about him that made me scratch my head and say ,"Ok then!" and just kept reading. (why did it NOT take forever for him to die?) He also must have been a rich s. (n.) o.b.
  3. Arthur
    1. It confused me that his name changed in the book. When it changed it briefly mentioned it and when the name appeared I was like who is Godalming. Pansy. Don't kill Lucy, don't chop off her head, I have already suffered enough. Thought he was going to burst into tears quite a bit.
  4. Quincy
    1. B.A. Manly=Meaning he had a bachelor's of arts degree in manly...or you can use your imagination. He was just good; liked him a lot. It was sad that the manly man had to die. He was also the character that talked slow, owned a horse, wore chaps, and needed a shower.
  5. Dr. Seward
    1. Mousy doctor guy. Thought he complained a bit to much. It was nice of him to offer up his house as HQ though.
  6. Van Helsing
    1. HE IS SUCH A "P"!! Oh by the way..I need to do this. I'm not going to tell you why.
  7. Renfield
    1. Crazy as....yep. No duh, right? Drove me crazy; didn't really like him. He needed to go sooner than he did.
  8. Mina
    1. Seemed-in-the-way for some of it. I liked her way better than the other female character.
  9. Lucy
    1. The so-many-men-are-attracted-to-me-and-I-don't-know-what-to-do character. She needed to be gone; I would totally not be friends with her. She wasn't very smart; when she was "alive".
Overall, I thought it was good. I was suprised that I enjoyed it; even though the above statements seemed otherwise.

Better late than never..I suppose..or not..
