Hi everyone!

[sianystar]

Hiya!

My name is Sian, I'm 20, from Hull, England and I've been following the Charms since... Hmm, I think Chapter 3 had just been posted, it was the first Legacy link I'd followed that had been any good! Loving every entry as well, its one of my favourites out there and was one of the blogs that inspired me to begin my own (I write The Emmett Legacy, Ashleigh has kindly added a link to it in the Legacy Links section of her site, which I'm very very grateful for, I love it when people add it ^_^)

Hmm, so a little about me. Obviously I'm LOVING Sims 3, and probably spending an unhealthy amount of time on it!! When I'm not playing, I'm at university, I'm doing a degree in English and I hope to be maybe a journalist or something in advertising. Not sure yet! I'm an avid football (the proper english kind) fan, and love my team Hull City and go to every home game. I'm also part of an amateur dramatics group, Paper Plane Productions, we put on four performances per year and joining it is the best thing I have EVER done. I love reading anything I can get my hands on, right now my favourite author is Jonathon Coe, and I HATE the Da Vinci Code (tho the film was good) and Twilight. Aside from these kinds of things I also enjoy going out on a night with my friends and dancing the night away in sparkly shoes

Well, that's enough about me. I'll go put the kettle on and we can all get to know each other, yes?

Haha, I'm also an avid reader, and I love The Da Vinci Code. The movie was okay. As ashamed as I am to admit it, I... *gulp* like Twilight *runs and hides*. I know, I know... it's my guilty pleasure... ugh.

I love that you're involved in theatre! I'd love to hear about your productions and the rehearsal processes so please keep us posted in the General Chat board!

Also, adding your legacy was a no-brainer. It took me a long time to find the time to read it, but once I did, I was hooked.

I like Twilight, too, but Bella always annoyed the spit out of me. Probably because she's a well-written teenage girl and she whined a lot in the first two books. Edward was always a bit like Romeo to me...so sappy and weepy. I rooted for Jacob the whole time.

But the vampires SPARKLED. Poor Dracula Flipping laughing stock now!!

Nah, in seriousness I to get why there's all the hype for Twilight, I just don't think that Meyer is that good of a writer, plus most of the book is just 'That family is just SO GORGEOUS OMG I can’t believe how beautiful they are’, a quarter ‘I want Edward so much even if he is a vampire who could kill me’ and the rest ‘I’m totally stalking you Bella but its okay cos I’m so beautiful, now sleep so I can watch you.’ That is basically first three quarters of the book in three sentences. But I digress, I can talk about certain books for yonks if no-one stops me!!

[Ashleigh825]

Hahahaha, that is awesome.

I'm Team Edward. I have a thing for sparkly, sensitive vampires.

I'm more of the arrogant, you people are sheep, but pay attention to me now 'cause I'm so awesome type of vampire lover. i.e. I like Lastat from Anne Rice's second book. Too bad that Anne Rice can't write follow up books for spit. She ruined a perfectly a-hole character in all of the books that followed Lastat.

[Ashleigh825]

Oh, I love Anne Rice, too. She is by far the best vampire author in the world. Stephenie Meyer doesn't hold a candle to her. Anne Rice's writing is sheer poetry. She almost lulls you into her story like a lullaby with the way her words flow and blend so beautifully on the page.

I loved The Vampire Armand. Very disturbing (what Anne Rice book isn't?), but beautifully written.
