It seems to be a reoccurring problem lately.
The fault for my state of being is mostly mine. To put it simply I am just too lazy to do anything that is not drowning myself in, probably, unhealthy doses of fiction.
I think I might need a reality check.
But anyway this isn't about me (although since it's my blog it should be =P), it's about this delightful story I read: Burning Moon: http://www.wattpad.com/story/8704900-burning-moon-sytycw-winner
Title
The title makes sense once you get to that point in the story :) I like it.

Who am I to judge? But as far as my inexperience eyes can tell: nothing majorly wrong.

Simply said. I love it.
It took me a loooooonnnggg time before I actually mustered up the courage to read it.
Well it's not like there was anything wrong with it at first glance. In fact it looked promising. I am just a picky bit itchy.
If I was to be honest, I didn't read it initially (and chucked in my never ending list of: to read) because it sounded humourous.
There I said it. I just hate fun like that.
But in all sincerity, it is because I have an unique sense of humour that most 'humour' labels don't cater for. Or in some people's words: I have no sense of humour. Damn what a straightforward bit itchy.
But I liked this. I like the irony in the jokes. That is what I laugh for.
And I like the characters. My simple descriptions of them won't do them any justice. But I just love the dynamics of their interactions. It's quirky. It's fun. It's syyzgy.
Personally I like the the alternative ending better (yes ladies and gentleman, the author wrote two possible endings) because (SPOILER ALERT) I was hoping throughout the whole last chapter that neither of them give up their plans for each other and be miserable for a year and then meet up and realise how only their love mattered.
Now thinking about it... (SPOILER ALERT) I don't completely understand why they had to break up. Couldn't they just have had a long distance relationship? Silly people.
But either way, I thought the alternative ending showed more the fact that it doesn't matter how different they are what was important was that they loved each other. Although it didn't really address what they planned to do with the future.
The reason why I didn't like the original ending as much is because it felt like he was the only one giving something up for the relationship. He gave up his already decided plans for one year for her and it seemed like they are living their life more to her style than his. But that's just my feelings.
At least in the alternative ending he at least had that one year of what he planned and she had the one year of what she planned. Even if they were both miserable at least then they realise that it's their love that mattered the most.
I don't even know whether what I just said made sense in anyone else's head but mine..... ah well, I am just not good with this kind of self expression.
End Note
Well what else can I say 'sides the fact that this is a new favourite.
And that I really needa do something with myself these holidays.
