I don't know about you guys, but Bella kind of bugs me a little bit. Especially in New Moon. I mean I totally sympathize with her about losing the love of her life, but seriously. It's mostly how it always talks about "the hole in her chest" and how she always feels like she can't breathe, and how she wraps her arms around herself to hold herself together. Anyways, I just thought I'd put that out there. =) Don't get me wrong I love Love LOVE the twilight books and I love Bella most of the time... Lol.

LOL... I understand Bella pretty well. I lost someone really close that I loved with all my heart and I felt like there was a big gaping hole, like they had taken my heart with them. I handled it the way Bella did, I didn't feel anything for a long time and then when I started feeling again I did everything in my power to be stupid - not because of voices in my head though, well not my loved one's voice anyway. It took me along time to get over it. So I can see her pov. The feeling like she can't breathe part is called Panic Attacks, they come on by stress, I used to have them all the time. You feel like you are going to die, its not a fun feeling. But she was a little whiney at times - that did bug me once in a while, mainly when Jake was around to comfort her - I didn't like that. ;D

I'm sorry that you had to go through that. =( I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought she was whiney though. Lol.

Yeah I can see that. She wouldn't be a true teenager if she weren't at least a little whiney! LOL. ;D

Bella can be kind of whiney sometimes, but not nearly as whiney as she should be. In New Moon, she always defended Edward, and she went through a lot- she could have been worse.

I definatly agree with that! She was trying to continue on for Charlie's sake (granted he wasn't fooled but she did try.) She didn't complain that whole time, she just kept to herself, I felt so said for her. That song Fix You by Coldplay, it was how Jacob felt when he was trying to put her back together, it makes me want to cry everytime I hear it... New Moon depresses me a bit...

Hey vampgirl08 I agree with you, whenever I hear that song, I think of Jacob. There's this other song that reminds me of him too- Over and Over, by 3 Days Grace. One that reminds me of Bella, in New Moon, is Time of Dying also by 3 Days Grace.
About Bella's whineyness, it also ocurred to me that she is very considerate to others' feelings, above her own. Even though it was painful for her to pretend that things were okay, she tried to be "normal", to do everything good. It was so sad to watch her go through that. I know that Edward wasn't fairing (sp?) any better, but he made the choice and Bella didn't choose to live without him. He chose for her. He could have gone to her and ended his suffering, but she had no way to get a hold of him or anyone in the family, so she was stuck! Ugh, it makes me mad every time I think of it.

For me, the songs have more depth and meaning... I like comparing them with the books. There are still lots of songs that don't really apply, but sure are fun to sing along with

True true, and I compare songs with the books too, even with The Host. LOL. She is such a good writer!
