I just finished Being Nikki today and am still totally into Meg Cabot's writing. She is SO talented!! Anyways, today's boyfriend comes from that book. His name is Christopher. In Airhead, he made me so mad, even though I liked him. He was being so hard-headed towards everything. But then in Being Nikki, everything changed. When he found out that Nikki was really Emerson, I was so excited. It was amazing. Then stupid Brandon messed everything out.
The good news is that Meg Cabot will make sure everything ends smoothly. I just wish that the end of Being Nikki wasn't such a cliff-hanger.
Sorry for making this post so short... I have summer homework that I should be doing :P.

Fictional Boyfriend #43
I really enjoyed The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith and decided to give her other series Night World a chance... Night World isn't really a series that you would think. Ya know how usually in series it's just a continuation of the book before? Well basically each book is made up of three stories that have to do with creatures who broke the rules of Night World, but the characters in each story are different. They may be mentioned in one of the other stories, but otherwise it is not a continuation. Hmmm I wonder if that is a good enough explanation :/.
Anyways, I decided to pick a guy from Night World: Secret Vampire named James. He befriended Poppy when they were in like Kindergarten and were best friends ever since. He always made it clear to Poppy though that they were just friends. When they got into their teens, James started dating girls and would normally have like seven girlfriends a year or something to that ridiculous amount. Meanwhile, Poppy would sit on the sidelines, jealous of each girl that got the chance to go out with him, but also falling deeper and deeper in love with him with each passing day.
During the summer between Junior and Senior year at high school, Poppy is diagnosed with terminal cancer and is pretty much awaiting her death. James then decides to show Poppy his true feelings for her as well as show her a way to escape death.
James is a vampire if you haven't already figured it out. He had that many girlfriends so that he could feed off of them until he felt a weak bond forming with them. Then he would break up with them. He used compulsion to make them forget that he even fed off of them in the first place. He never went out with Poppy because he didn't want her to be used like that. He just loved her too much. It was actually rather romantic.
Thankfully, Poppy gets changed into a vampire by the exchanging of blood. It's all rather facisnating. Now off to read more of that book so I can add more characters to this list :D

Fictional Boyfriend #42
Alright, so I am a fan of Melissa Kantor's writing. I enjoyed The Breakup Bible and If I Have A Wicked Stepmother, Where's My Prince?. I read her new book, Girlfriend Material, and absolutely loved it! Before I talk about Adam, the boyfriend of the day, I just want to say a few things about the book.
First of all, I was really happy how Kantor talked about Ernest Hemingway's writing. I wasn't a fan of Old Man and the Sea, but I have done a report on him and know his life etc and know what influenced which piece of writing. So that was an interesting parallel...
Anyways!! Adam is my pick for today. He isn't all that amazing, let me tell you :P The whole break thing he took with his girlfriend and didn't tell Kate about it at all? That was messed up. But I mean if you just consider how great he is withouth that little factor, it all adds up. It was pretty cool how he went all the way to New Hampshire, I think that's where his girlfriend was, but anyways I liked how he wanted to fix it with Kate, so he went all the way there to break up with his girlfriend because he thought it too cold over phone. That part was awesome! So many guys would love to take the easy way out, as would girls to be perfectly honest. I decided that I really liked him after that. It shows how gentlemanly he is and really how much he cares about things.
The only catch? Unless Kate and her mom move to the east coast, which was a chance, Kate and Adam will have a difficult time seeing each other, with Kate living in Utah and all. Oh well, it made a nice story. Haha until next time...
P.S.~ I finsihed Fragile Eternity and I don't know what to make of it... I mean I know that there are more books to come, but I'm scared to figure this all out. I kinda like Keenan and Aislinn together for some reason even though he is kind of a jerk... I don't like it when Keenan and Donia get all lovey dovey... I feel like he is cheating on Aislinn, even though he is not. And the whole mother thing between Sorcha and Seth? A tad bit disturbing...

It's been really sad lately. Every book I pick up, I end up putting right back down because I just don't want to read. Now if you know me, then that is so unlike me to feel that way. Books, to me, are a way to keep my sanity as well as live a life with more excitement. It's a way to tell the world to shut up for a few seconds because life isn't headed in a direction you want, or at least, not headed in the right way. Given the fact that I've had finals this week, that's probably a reason why I haven't picked up a book for a few weeks. Like I said, everytime I tried, I failed.
Anyways, so I don't know about you, but I like to really get into a book because of the awesome lives some of the characters live. Now there is a downside to that "getting involved" thing. You feel the pain that the character feels as well as grief, depression, etc. Haha, when I was reading the In or Out Series, my emotions were on a rollercoaster. So much drama happening within like a MONTH!!!
I was really excited to start this series because the girls and guys were my age and everything. Then it just turned into absolute chaos. I usually hate books where true friendships are ruined by a girl who wants to be popular and stuff. It makes me want to smack them. Haha anyways, so I was reading this and Marnie and Nola are both going at it. I mean they are just vicious! But we aren't here to discuss how ridiculous this all was. I was more interested in talking about a guy for this list that I don't remember posting and I even CHECKED TWICE to see if I did and I don't think I did.
So this is about Matt and even though I actually really really really liked Ian a LOT more than Matt, it's probably better that Nola was with someone her own age 0_o. Haha but like awww it was so cute how Matt showed up at the dance at the end of Friends Close, Enemies Closer and he was so amazing etc. Haha I'm just randomly going on and on about how cute that moment was. But one problem. Who says this and makes it sound actually CUTE? huh? "What's so funny, beautiful girl in the amazing dress?"
You know what, I change my mind. This is about Ian. Because guess what. I like him more. He was so awesome kissing Nola when they were both frustrated and so much tension in the air. Now THAT is a couple that could have made it. I cried when he left. Then stupid Matt decided he liked Nola now after ditching his freak-o girlfriend... that won't be a very long fling. Hahaha as you can tell, I'm just getting mad at the series. For reals though, it's a cute series if you have time and money to read it :P
GO IAN!!

Fictional Boyfriend #40
Yay!! Hit 40!!
So today's boy/man is also from Ink Exchange. His name is Irial :D. I really loved this character. Not many people can come along and make you totally change the way you are living, the way you think, and the way you feel. Well, Leslie did just that to Irial. He was 1000000% evil. No joke. Then Leslie gets his symbol as her tattoo and he's totally bonded to her. That does not mean that he has to love her or be in love with her. It just meant that they shared a bond that would make it so that she could feed his royal court.
He never expected to fall in love with Leslie and want to give her whatever she wanted.
The thing that appealed to me was that this totally horrible guy turned almost all the way around because of a girl... she changed him for the good. Also, his evil charm does appeal too :P I mean he's a bad boy and well as much as I try to fight the cliche of that being attractive, in books, I can't fight it. He's too loveable, even though at times he would make my skin crawl...
Hahah three cheers for Irial!! Hopefully he'll find someone else... well maybe not. Because even though I like the guy, I am a loyal member of the Summer Court :P
I haven't read Fragile Eternity yet, so don't spoil anything for me!! (hahah like how I spoil things for you :P)
PS~ sorry for any mistakes I made!! Too lazy to correct :D
