You know you can relate anything to the BSC when...

...you're reading Eclipse and the very first thing you notice on the very first page is that Jacob has the same handwriting as Amalia's in California Diaries.

I don't know which I'm more embarrassed about, that I immediately notice things like that or I just copped to reading Twilight. :D

Haha, I noticed that the other day when all my friends were going on about how great Twilight is and how OMGHAWT Edward is, so I grabbed my friend's copy of Eclipse, intending to point out how badly written it is. Instead I flicked to a page with Jacob's handwriting and was like, "OMG, it's Amalia's handwriting from California Diaries!" So my friends said I have no right to criticise Twilight if I read the BSC. I'm a hypocrite :P

Best post I've read all day! I KNEW his handwriting looked familiar.

I'll forgive you for reading Twilight if you write a snark about it. Please?

ZOMG, no.

...I am trying to justify reading the Twilight books by the fact that I am not reading them in English (the old "it's better to read something shitty in your second language than a classic in your native language" excuse).
Which book is 'Eclipse'? The German books have different titles (with a really stupid play on words, I might add).

Eclipse is the third book in the series - it opens with Jacob writing a letter telling Bella to fuck off, only for a second before my brain caught up I was like, "Where are the fun cartoony pictures to go with this?"

I totally want to know what the stupid play on words is now! It can't be any worse than the original writing, honestly. :D

Jacob telling Bella to fuck off? I can't wait (I've only just started the second book) - I'm not overly fond of Bella.
The first book is called "Bis(s) zum Morgengrau" - "Bis zum Morgengrau" on its own would be "Until dawn" and "Biss" means bite(noun). You can also use the construction (food) zum (meal) to describe what you're having to eat, so I sort of associate it with "A bite for breakfast" in my head.
If I were a translator I'd probably write it in English as "At the BITE of dawn", which sounds equally as stupid.

Jacob is the American Indian character, right? So is that, like, the publisher's "Handwriting: Character with Brown Skin" font?

Is it horrible that this was my first thought, too? :p
