Projection Room Voices: Before we begin this session, we'd just like to inform you that the trailer for Eclipse is out.

ZeldaQueen: Huh *watches* I find it laughable that they have the nerve to use the phrase "It started with a choice". And Jacob's "I might be better for you" bit might be more believable if we all didn't know what is going to be ( Read more... )

I'm a bit of a Firefly fan, so that chapter title took me to a happy place where Kaylee, Zoe and River beat Bella up and then shove her out into space to float for eternity ^^

Oh, lovely happy place! *is also a Firefly fan* Give me River over Bella any day. Whedon's characters are a million times more feminist than Meyer's are.

It says something that I'd rather an unhinged psychic Waif-Fu than Bella Swan. Hell, I'd rather the freakin' Operative, and he kills children for the greater goo....

....I think I may have hit on the solution to the Renesfail problem >:)

/And of course it's Sue who makes them food. The unpaired woman just needs to serve a man just like the single men just need to have a woman to do work for them ( ... )

/And don't say it's an age thing, Meyer, I'm nineteen and I still call my parents those names ( ... )

I have seen a few literary cases in which a teenager calls their parents by their first names. The most prominent were Eustace Scrub from the Chronicles of Narnia and Leslie from "The Bridge to Terabithea". In both cases, the fact that they did so was treated as an indicator of how different their family life was (Eustace was portrayed as silly for doing so and Leslie's case just further emphasized how modern/out there her lifestyle was from Jessie's). In both cases though, they actually refer to their parents by their first names.

Now, Bella referrs to her stepfather by his first name, which makes sense, but she still verbally refers to Charlie and Renee with "Dad" and "Mom". In the case of Charlie, it's because she doesn't like the poor guy. If she mentally refers to Renee by her first name out of friendship though, why call her "Mom" out loud?
