Twilight, part two, hopefully the last

Hello Children,

Upon finishing Twilight, I think of a quote from the movie Tropic Thunder, "You went full retarded, man - you never go full retarded." I admit, I've read romance novels in the past, but the key to their success is a dash of realistic behavior, a heroine you could understand, even if she's stupid, and a perfect, but human man.

You know, if I could exude some sort of yummy smell, I would smell like fresh basil. Or possibly some sort of chocolate confection. Now I'm hungry.

Anyway, this is a very good review! Now you know why I walk around school terrified every damn day! Hearing dozens of 13 year old girls sighing, "Edward is soooo hot." makes me want to vomit, and then smack the girls.

And yeah, I understand that girls love reading about risque romance when their just getting into that stage of life, but I don't see how sexy Twilight can be when the author is a crazy Mormon who doesn't believe in pre-marital sex. I mean, really, how sexual does their relationship get? I figure it goes a little something like this ( ... )

Yeeeah, it kind of was like that, though I have to give props that Meyer addressed female desire at all. It was annoying though, because Edward just wanted to kiss like a middle-class Victorian and Bella had to "behave herself" as in, no open mouth kissing, since good ol' Ed just couldn't handle that. I'll stop there though, since everyone has gone there.

On the topic of smells, though, sometimes my clothes smell like Hugo Boss, and that's pretty good. It's pleasant, but I don't wet myself or anything.

Heh, sorry I made you spend so much time reading it :P But hey-- several of those items on your recommended list you found in part from me, so that helps make up for it, right?

. . . right?

okay, im still half tempted to read this crap because i want to make my own decisions about it...even though im sure they will pretty much be like yours. also, if i read the book, or part of one of them, i will at least be reading a book and not looking at the fugly actors that are in the movie... edward pattinson, ick!

anyways, what i really wanted to say was that Middlesex is FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!

p.s. i misses you!

I miss you too Ally-Wally!
But honestly, I did this review to spare you. WHY WON'T YOU LET ME SPARE YOU!!

Also, Middlesex is awesome! So even if you do read Twilight, you'll still be a good person.
