the best and most absolute worst thing about a good movie, anime, videogame, book, anything, is the fact that it has such an amazing storyline.

now, i say this is the best thing because obviously, when you read a good book, youre always compelled to read more because of its story line. and this goes for any type of media, like i said earlier. other factors im sure attribute to it being good, but storyline, i think is the most important.
why come back if its just a pretty picture? i wouldnt...

and maybe youre reading this wondering why the hell is that a bad thing?
well, to me, i read it and ,maybe its a normal thing? ( i dont think so because it seems other people arent nearly as affected by this as i am, but i get drawn in to the story line sooo much. i literally feel like im one of the characters. maybe i have a very active imagination. i feel like the book characters are alive, and the horrible truth is they die, as soon as the book ends. i read very quickly, around 450 words per minute ( i took a reading speed test sometime in high school haha) so i tear through books, and them im like... "crap... now what?" and for weeks, to months, to even years for somebooks, i cant get the stories, and memories of the characters out of my head.

if youre familiar with the Halo series for xbox (which im sure you are, its quite common) then you might also be familiar with the line of books they released in the franchise.

this happens a lot. not quite sure why
and ive still yet to decide if its a good thing or a bad thing..
