Update time! On the violin front, I've suspended my lessons until January. The holidays are just too busy for me to worry about practicing the violin. I'll probably pick it back up in the new year

Yes, well, when you've gone to election night parties your whole life, it feels weird to not plan on doing anything. But I did end up going to a party with my dad and some friends. Pretty fun all in all.
Okay, first off, I don't really care either way if Bella's a Mary Sue or not, so I'm not really gunning for one side or the other. To me it's more about the story and letting onesself get swept up in the story

Well yeah, Bella wasn't perfect, and she was an alright character, until the last book.
In Breaking Dawn, she became a vampire without the years of agony and thirst, and it was revealed that her "power" was massively useful and she ended up saving the day with it (learning to control it in, what, a matter of weeks?). Oh, and she became ridiculously beautiful and graceful. (Can you call having a miracle vampire daughter who doesn't want to kill everyone, and having superbly understanding parents MarySue-like qualities? :P)
She's by far the textbook Mary Sue, but in the final book, she came pretty close.
I agree that a lot of things happened conveniently in Breaking Dawn. And in the end she did get everything she wanted. But isn't that just the text book fairy tale ending? The perfect husband, being beautiful finally, getting a loving family, your parents accepting you, and having forever with their spouse?

(but yeah, she was still totally selfish).
