Something I Found

One late autumn night, the disciple awoke crying. So the master asked the disciple, "Did you have a nightmare?" "No." "Did you have a sad dream?" "No," said the disciple. "I had a sweet dream." "Then why are you crying so sadly?" The disciple wiped his tears away and quietly answered, "Because the dream I had can't come true."


I love that... It's quite relatable...

Other Bookish Sites

I have a shelfari, http://www.shelfari.com/charissanh, and a librarything. This is my profile, http://www.librarything.com/profile/Charissanh, and this is my actual library, http://www.librarything.com/catalog/Charissanh.

They both show my library of books - the books I own and have read. The shelfari has an actual "shelf" but, it had a defect with the series from Lynne Ewing. So, the book count of the ones that I have read is not totally accurate. That is why I made a LibraryThing. I am in a 100+ book challenge, and I need to know the exact numbers. It gets kind of annoying keeping track of the books that I read and all of their isbn's, but I'm trying my hardest to keep up with my sites.

I also have a yahoo, myspace, myyearbook, facebook, google, this blog, vampirefreaks, and others that I am active on! So, yikes. I know. Kinda shows how much I am on the internet... I guess writing that down kinda makes it sound really bad... eep... I didn't really realize that I was on THAT much... So, that's why I'm having trouble getting my book numbers in...

So

"The Twilight series is the greatest. From the spot that I am at, I think it is quite obvious that they are going to change Bella. But, I'm not sure about her "baby." It seems quite strange. But, I am only on page 230 so, please don't spoil anything for me. Hehe, who's going to spoil it anyways? I don't think I showed anyone this blog beside signing up for like 2 challenges with it. Oh, well.

Anyways, I love the character Edward. He is so... I don't know how to explain it. And, then, I started wondering. Why can't people in real life have attributes of the Edward kind? I'm not talking about his "condition." I know that myths like that do not exist. Well, except for in the imaginations of the lovely ones. I'm talking about how he is completely unselfish for the well-being of Bella. His connection with her... it's awesome. But, he is only a figment of our imagination. And, the people in real life supposedly don't really come into comparison... but, why can't they..."

Ah, the uh, joys of reading really idiotic old posts. I hate my old self.

New

So, I guess that this shall be my first blog on this site. I hope I can keep it up. I have my blog on myspace (myspace.com/charissanh). But, I'll probably keep the posts identical or even more on this site.
