FOOL!
I have done everything that one can do in this world, and more!
To be honest with tu guys, before HBO made this epic fantasy-ish show, I didn't know that it was just an adaptation of a very popular book series, which I know is a shame. I only started lectura the libros when I found that out. That being said, I read the first book and managed to finish it in two days. I loved it. I was surprised at how easily I fell for the characters. They're believable; as the author, George R.R. Martin, really knows how to paint them in such a realistic way. I especially amor the fact that this series has many strong female characters. For a fantasy/medieval power story, this is definitely a big deal!
Most especially though, he sure knows how to tell a story in an incredibly engaging way. It is such a complex story though that I don't think I will write a proper review for them because it will be hard to do so without spoiling it.
So, I'm just going to go ahead and say that yes, tu MUST read the books. They are so well written, the characters are awesome, and the combination of many different types of genres is just pure entertainment to me. And yay for strong female characters ;)
As far as the mostrar goes, I amor it. I believe that it is good to be watched on its own, whether o not tu have read - o planning to read - the books. I think it tells the story well, and the actors do a very, very good job portraying such badass characters.
It's taking it's precious time about it. Despite growing quicker than it would when it was longer, it's still most definitely short.
I'm not sure what it is... I think it comes back to that loss of femininity, especially when I have no one but myself to make me feel pretty. I know how terribly unfashionable it is to admit this... but I still want to be the princess. And the princess still has hair all the way to the bottom of the tower.
But, within all that, while I'm not particularly fond of my hair short and I am anxious to have some length in it again– even a pretty bob that sits just at my ears would be lovely– I don't regret the decision to chop it off.
Can tu be not entirely happy with a decision you've made and still not regret doing it? I guess so. It was unpleasant. But it felt then, and still feels now, like it was necessary. A ritualistic shedding of the skin. A decision to revoke my own appeal to the opposite sex until I was a bit más whole, a bit más earthed, a bit más sure of who I am now...
Of course it didn't work that way– does things ever work the way we planned, the way we intend them to? But it was the beginning, the catalyst for some bigger kind of change.
