I'd like you to know that I shared the Twilight post with a few of my friends. :) It was fantastic! And I can tell that you're a fantastic writer because even though the post was supposedly scribbled down quickly with little thought given to the writing itself, it made me laugh, gesture and flail. I've had some girls I live with ask me if I'm Team Edward or Team Jacob so many times agd;adsjklj I can't take it anymore. I get frustrated because even though I give what I consider a pretty effective and accurate speech about how Twilight is not only ridiculous and badly written, but it sets bad examples for primarily girls and what to expect in future relationships. I'm currently writing a paper for my English class on New Moon and I'm arguing that it's disempowering to women and what not. The quote: "IF THIS IS ABOUT MY SOUL, TAKE IT I DONT NEED IT" Is resonating in my head. And I mean the scene where Bella was sitting in her chair looking out the window as the months past by and she wrote about how her life was empty and meaningless because he left her convinced me I had to point out the absurdity that is the Twilight Saga.
No thesis yet but I get to watch New Moon repeatedly and laugh at Kristen Stewarts hilarious attempts to act awkward and unique as well as the unnecessary shirtlessness and shitty dialogue.

Wow this is a long comment, sorry for the rant but I'm surrounded by fans who have shunned me for rebelling against the hype and it's nice to have something like your last post to read! and a new lj friends always a perk :)

I know this is an old comment, but when is your paper due? You should have a look at this blog also. http://stoney321.livejournal.com/317176.html
