to feel as if they might as well be the next love itnerest of a steamingly attractive vampire. To me, Bella really seems to be an incredibly unfortunate creature. She doesn't seem able to be happy about anything, doesn't have any hobbies or real friends, because apparently their unperfectness seems to annoy her, as well as the fact that there are people around her, that take interest in her, even though she is portrayed in the book as an empty, emotionless doll, with a threetrack mind : ,,Edward",,"Edward's toned chest" ,,Charlie's dinner every once in a while" (thank god for the last one!)
