does Didem's icon have anything to do with Twilight?

Oh good grief.

(This demonstrates why I do not, ever, google my own stuff.)

[ewein2412]

checking my Goodreads stats is the egocentric self-indulgence I use to STOP me googling myself. (I like Goodreads very much.)

like the cat, I continue to set my tail on fire and swallow fridge magnets without ever learning anything from my experience.

Somewhat bewilderingly, Dorktastic Dude's icon is a ...strawberry.
And the whole Twilight thing is an apple.

...and why post something on Goodreads that you haven't read? Oy, spare me stupid people.

[ewein2412]

people seem to do it a lot--twenty volumes at a time, usually. (it makes very snoozy reading when you get a friends' update!)

[tigertrapped.livejournal.com]

Yeah I'm like that, too. I won't read anything that doesn't have a picture of fruit on the cover because just, you know, wot eva. Also I can't actually read. I'm a moron.

[mhari.livejournal.com]

Princesses. And stuff.

....

*giggles helplessly*

[ewein2412]

Really, anybody who picks up TWP expecting ~*sparkles*~ deserves everything they get.

Although, you know, now I want a cullen/medraut showdown. who's the angstiest of them all?

[firiel44.livejournal.com]

Someone needs to write this ASAP.

[ewein2412]

and then Bella falls for Lleu because he's EVEN CUTER AND MORE AGGRAVATING

(I'll stop.)

Good lord, I hate internet Trolls.

Though I do confess that particular cover art does not do justice to the book. The 1993 macmillan blue one is much more modern meets classic. I think that's why i picked it off the shelf in the first place, because the cover art was cool.

[ewein2412]

it is my favorite.

[tiboribi.livejournal.com]

It's like a bad joke. And also, what about that cover would make anyone think it has anything to do with princesses?

[ewein2412]

medraut looks like a queen? ahahahaha

[ewein2412]

he's not wrong... check this out:

What kind of review is that? And I didn't understand the meaning (maybe because of my English or maybe because it's meaningless).

Here in Italy we have one word to call the people like her (I suppose the review was written by 'a her'): bimbeminkia.

[ewein2412]

bimbeminkia! I love it! Is that rude, or can I teach it to my kids?

[lucre-noin.livejournal.com]

Well... it's a bit rude to say also if on the internet people use it a lot. It's an internet language. A bimbaminkia is usually a young girl that is a bi of a noob and is obsessed with handsome artists of rock bands or handsome actors or dubious novels. Bimbeminkia scream a lot and are very childish.
Maybe it's more polite to say 'bambinetta' (singular, and 'bambinette' as the plural). It means childish and it's less rude : D

[ewein2412]

oh, and I think that the meaning is simply "it looks like it's about princesses and therefore it must be boring" --"and junk" just means "etc." or "and other boring things." Although "junk" does have a slang meaning of "drugs," that's not implied here except in my obscure reference to Telemakos taking opium! (or should I say, being given opium)

don't know if you've read the whole series--that happens later! of course, come to think of it, there is a boatload of drug use in The Winter Prince as well

[lucre-noin.livejournal.com]

I understand. 'Junk' has always had a vague meaning of 'stuff' for me.

- my obscure reference to Telemakos taking opium-
: ( and this reminds me that I have to buy the sequel of The Winter Prince. If I'm lucky I'll buy them for my next birthday or this summer on amazon.

I find kind of funny that the idea of princesses (like a fairy tale) only because of the title.
