Mitt Romney is a Twilight fan

[darksumomo]

Mitt Romney had quite a scandalous revelation to share on this morning's Today show: He does, from time to time, and always while exercising great caution, participate in certain leisurely activities, like watching television and reading novels. Would Mother Mittens approve of this? Let's just say, doubtful.

American Idol is a delightful television

And the Twilight books: such great fun, a real hoot of a time.

He's got a point, tbh. I laughed SO HARD when I read the first book, I thought it was a satire.

Haha, this. But then it just made me feel so much worse when I realized it wasn't... =/

I could not even get through the first one. I tried, I really did. Then the writing went to shit when Edward showed up.

Hell, even RPattz thought Stephanie Meyers was "mad" after he read the books--he thought she had some sick kind of obsession with Edward. He also hated Edward, and played him as self-hating as a result. XDb

sf_drama taught me everything I ever needed to know about Twilight.

I developed a ridiculous amount of respect for RPattz when I read the interview in which he pretty much lambasted Stephenie Meyer for publishing her creepy vampire fetish dreams. And when I saw his cracktastic take on Edward in the first movie. XD

I forced myself to read the books when I realized just how much I hate making fun of something I haven't experience firsthand, and I had to avoid red pens the entire time to keep myself from marking up my copy with editing marks.

Saaaaaaaaame here.

[beautifiers]

heh, i got a copy of the boxset of the books as a gift and i spent a few days editing the shit out of all the books. i'm thinking of sending it back to meyer with a note "see me after class" on it.

[tresa_cho]

Do it.

[azetburcaptain]

lol yea but by the time I got to the last one I was like "WHY DID I READ THIS WHY"

[lickety_split]

You read them ALL? I had to stop after the first one.

[azetburcaptain]

Yeah, the fourth one is the WORST. It is a pro life propaganda piece of shit and it's not even well written. Or subtle in any way. BLEGH. I had access to them for free and I still wouldn't recommend reading past the first one. js

The sex scene in 'Breaking Dawn' will never stop cracking my shit up, ever. HE BIT A PILLOW. LOLOLOLOLOL!

[lisaee]

I found the first three boring, but my god did I have a fun time reading Breaking Dawn.

Borderline paedophilia aside. That was just too poorly written and creepy for me.
