While reading, I like to notice comparisons with characters. These comparisons are just for jokes, but it's funny that like Count Dracula, I also don't like mirrors or light that much. I actually shower, wash my face, and do my homework in extremely dim light.. which I doubt is good for me. But the reason I fear mirrors is partly because I don't like looking at myself and because I always feel like the figure I see on the other side of the mirror is going to jump out at me because it looks like a live doll - its features are so refined and surreal looking and its eyes are like maliciously gleaming and glaring at me. I have an incurable blood disease and if you ask my friends, my hands are constantly cold. But don't worry, I'm not anything near a superstitious being, I basically almost worship sunlight, and I love garlic haha.
I also noticed there are a lot of recurrences of "four" in this book... and it's just interesting because "four" is such an ominous number in Asian cultures, kind of like the 13 in Western Culture. In Taiwan, it'd be very rare to see a fourth floor in any building.
And reading this also reminds me of that extremely gothic phase I had in sixth grade, haha. Wow I was stupid. But it's okay I am a happy girl now with no freakishly weird thoughts.
Most of the time, anyway :P
