Erm.
Read books the whole day.
There was this book written by Tanith Lee called The Silver Metal Lover that was super sweet. It's about this spoilt little brat who lives in the future who was carefully selected and artificially inseminated in her mother. Once she was born, everything about her was false, as in her hair was genetically chosen to "match" her personality, her eye colour altered; to the extent that she had six friends because six was her 'magic number', in a sense. One day, she sees this guy who was actually a robot and "falls in love with him". Him, being a robot sorta made him; erm, emotionless? So, it was a very one-sided thing at the start.
And the sad thing was because it was doomed from the very beginning; him being not human and all. He was took back to the manufacturer and shut down- simply because humans were threatened by the existence of such perfect beings.
It's really realistic in a way, I guess.
Tanith Lee's Book of The Damned series were really different compared to this one, so it was really strange.
I also reread Mercedes Lackey's 500 Kingdoms stories... Can't help but love fantasy. =)
This is a very girly post. I feel quite weird now. 0_o
