Misery time!!!

why do girls tend to worry about their weight?
i don't really have an answer to that question..and besides i'm one of the girls who keeps worrying about her weight every single day..some might say that it's pathetic and insulting...but seriously, don't say that when you already have a nice figure, figuratively speaking...
well, i do feel pathetic sometimes..but i can't help it...one, because i did have put on weight...and two, because i really hate the fact that i've put on weight..and worst of all, three, because "mak cik2" keep saying that i've gotten a bit chubbier...."a bit"????try "a lot"!!!!
yes, i'm just another typical girl who is obsessed with her body...thank you for judging me...

ahh..actually i wanted to write about a novel i've read quite a long time ago...it's quite an old novel published in 1987 written by my favourite author, Stephen King...just Google him if you don't know...the title of the novel is "Misery" and believe me, Misery can really make you miserable...the story is about a famous author named Paul Sheldon (he has nothing to do with the writer, Sidney Sheldon btw), who had written a series of Misery's novel and finally decided to put an end to it by killing the main character 'Misery' and thus wrapped up the whole chronicle....and so his misery started when he had a car accident as he finished writing his new book...he was rescued by a woman, Annnie Wilkes who was apparently his 'number one fan'...Annie brought Paul to her house, nursed him there and kept telling him that she couldn't get him to the hospital or got in contact with the outside world due to the heavy snow...but times passed by, and Paul had came to know that she actually did not have any intention of letting him go...and thus after Annie read the last novel of Misery's series, she couldn't accept that Paul killed her favourite character..she demanded for Misery to be undead...she started to show her true colours, and Paul, having no other choice, started to write another Misery's series....but as time went by, Annie's mood swings and her vicious personality were getting worse...since Paul was badly injured in the previous accident, he couldn't even moved by himself as both his legs were broken...but, as Paul was getting better, and the Misery's series was almost finished, Annie, in one of her mood swings, decided to keep Paul there a little bit longer...she eventually broke Paul's legs again..well, there were other brutal actions done by her...and i was seriously traumatised by the actions, so don't get me started on that..so, to keep this story short, Annie was killed by Paul in the end in a some-what bloody strong woman-weak man fight....Paul was still in his wheelchair when he had the fight with Annie...

that was a kind of awfully long synopsis of the novel...pardon my excitement...there is actually no significant lesson that we can learn from the novel...but i did get one thing...the horror of the story...:P
lesson no. 1: don't drive in snow storm..
lesson no. 2: don't go to the end of the world alone...
lesson no. 3: learn how to differentiate between "number-one-fan" and "crazy-psychopath-fan"...
lesson no. 4: i can't think of any...:P

fun fact: there was a drug given to Paul by Annie which named Novril...well, there is no such drug named Novril..it was just a fictional drug created by Stephen King, which supposedly acted like Codeine(for example)...i was cheated by it at first..i thought the drug really existed in real life..^^

secondly, there were quite a bit differences of facts in the novel and the adaptation(film)...i personally thought the novel was much much more awesome than the movie...

thirdly, i don't think anyone interested in reading this novel..i haven't met a single breathing, living soul that say Stephen King is one of her favourite authors...and there were hardly any that actually read his books...well, it's among my friends though...

fourthly, it's quite an advantage, because nobody requesting to borrow my novels..and thus, i get to keep them just in the state that i wanted....clean, no wrinkles, no chocolate or other unidentified smudges, whatsoever....

fifthly, it kinds of make me sad though sometimes...why people don't want to borrow my books...:(

lastly, i'll read better books in the future...not just fictional stuff...

happy reading!!
