Wandering Thoughts of a Writer: horrible

Showing posts with label horrible. Show all posts

I know I should be writing a post about how I’m gearing up for my second round of revisions, and that my editor is waiting to edit my next book in my Beyond the Eyes series. However, I felt like doing a post on this instead. So if you love The Vampire Diaries TV show like I do, or you’re curious about it, sit back and enjoy and let’s have some fun.

I became friends with a wonderful girl, on Goodreads, and her and I have been discussing The Vampire Diaries. If you have never watched this show before, and you’re into the paranormal, I suggest you start watching it because it’s that good. In fact, Kevin knows not to bother me when it’s on. Hell, everybody knows not to. LOL.

If you don’t know anything about this show, you might be lost while reading this post, however, you can check out the videos down below, it might pique your interest enough to watch it.

Anyway, I told my Goodreads’ buddy that I would like to see Damon and Elena get together in this next season, which starts, I believe, on October 11^th.

Yay!

I told her that I know Damon has done some horrible things, but he does have a good side to him. He actually cares a lot, but he shuts off those feelings (his humanity) because it hurts too much. He wants so badly to be human again, but can’t, so he gives into his vampire side so he doesn’t have to feel those feelings. When I mentioned this to my Goodreads buddy, she reminded me of some things he'd done that was pretty messed up, like this scene down below.

　

Yeah, Lexie was a vampire, but she was a good person. Damon should have never killed Lexie. And then my Goodreads buddy reminded me of when Damon snapped Jeremy’s neck. For those of you who have never watched the show, Jeremy is Elena’s brother. They’re both human. Damon and Stefan are vampires, and they’re brothers who are in love with Elena. Here’s the scene where Damon snaps Jeremy’s neck. Thank God; Jeremy was wearing the ring.
　
　

　
Okay, so my Goodreads buddy has a valid point. Damon should have never done those things, and he can be an asshole. But then I think about this.
　

　
I know it’s no excuse for being a jerk at times, but there’s good in him. Also, he didn’t want to be a vampire, but after Stefan turned into a vampire, he encouraged Damon to become one as well, because he didn’t want to be alone. So I’m hoping in this new season, Damon will give into his true self and be a better person.

And then there’s Stefan. . .

I have to admit, he is hot.

Back in the day, Stefan did some horrible and gruesome things, like completely wiping out families. He was known as The Ripper.

　
But then Lexie helped him defeat that side of himself. She rehabilitated him. She was truly a good friend.

　
Then one day, Stefan saw Elena, and he couldn’t stay away from her. They fell in love.
　

　
So is the best yet to come? A lot has happened since Stefan and Elena first met. Are they meant to be together? I know Elena has feelings for Damon now. I mean, check out this steamy scene.
　

　
So, who is Elena going to choose? Will it be Stefan or Damon?

On Monday, we had our first real snowstorm this winter. It wasn’t too much snow, but enough to have to shovel and make the roads slick with ice.

We’ve been very lucky this winter because usually it starts dumping snow on us in October, and we can’t see the ground for six months, just piles of snow, higher than you can reach. Not to mention, the temperature being 40 below for days at a time, if not weeks.

So, yeah, this winter has rocked. It’s been the best winter of my entire life.

On Monday, my town was hit with a tragedy, and we’re all still reeling from it.

Two teenage girls from our town were in a horrible car accident, due to the icy roads. The 16-year-old, who was driving, died at the scene. The 17-year-old girl is in critical care with a severe head injury.

How I found out about it was Kevin had called me from his work and told me a cop had stopped by and asked for Kevin’s female coworker. It turns out; the 17-year-old girl was her daughter.

Yeah. I know.

Imagine the fear and heartache she must have felt when the cop relayed the news to her. . .

And then you have the 16-year-old who died.

Her parents were in Florida when this happened.

God, can you imagine being on vacation, and getting a phone call that your 16-year-old kid died? That has to be one of the worst things in the world to happen to a person–losing a child. And this poor couple not only had to deal with the loss of their child, but also had to deal with the chaos and stress of getting back home.

I had a small taste of that last April when my mom died, and I had to get two plane tickets right away. The whole experience sucked. Now imagine going through that experience while trying to compose your grief-stricken self enough to where you don’t shatter into tiny pieces all over the airport, and on the plane, continuously bawling your eyes out.

*deep breath*

It’s just too heartbreaking to even go there in your mind, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, the 17-year-old girl is alive, and it doesn’t appear like she has any brain damage. She is in a coma, and her brain is bruised and swollen. From what I understand, the doctor(s) put a tube in her skull to drain the fluid out, in an attempt to relieve the pressure. That’s all I know so far.

I just hope she pulls through this, and will be able to deal with the aftermath of it all. Because if you think about it, she doesn’t even know her friend is dead.

How’s that going to affect her?

Nobody knows what those two were doing before the car had spun out of control and crashed into an SUV.

What if the girls were just being silly teenagers, goofing off, right before it happened? Will this girl, who survived, feel guilty and blame herself for the accident?

We just don’t know, but I hope she doesn’t. I hope she gets through it all. And if I’m in a position to help her, since Kevin works with her mom, I’ll do it.

Sorry for the somber post, but if you have any teenagers in your life, please remind them to be careful when they drive. I don’t want anybody to have to go through this. In fact, you be careful out there too.

Have a safe and fun weekend.
