I think that's what they're being called. ANYWAY, I want to talk about this whole Twilight obsession, relating to the whole Harry Potter obsession... both of which are ridiculous and completely unwarranted
( Read more... )
I read the second book of Harry Potter... and not all of it because I was vomiting so much I thought I would die if I continued. (Actually I was just sitting in Barnes and Noble one day haha). Even if the writing has progressed, I still don't like the general topic, and I still hate the followers (which is mostly what this was about). Even if they WERE good books, to have a following of crazy rabid fans is completely unnecessary and pathetic. Even with things I am obsessed with (video games, motorcycles, etc.) I'm never that crazy. Only once have I stood outside and waited for a video game (Halo 2), and even that was a stretch for me

On the contrary I know pretty much everything about it apart from actually reading each word of each book. It's hard not to when you see it everywhere, including on SNL and stuff.
Also, I disagree with your reputation business. Reputation is extremely important, and I actually wrote an essay on "brand communities" and their importance to the brand and the individuals. There are good and bad reputations, and worthy and unworthy ways of getting them. I think you can judge a product very well by those who use it. You say bandwagon and sheep to make me scared of being "close-minded" (LOL @ THAT, philosophy major, dude... nice try), but really isn't that what the HP and twitards are? Also, I find nothing wrong with jumping on bandwagons or being like a sheep. This has led me to finding restaurants I like, products I can use, and hobbies I enjoy.
Oh and if I saw the WoW character outfits I'd have been like "dayaaaammm that night elf is HAWT!" haha
