Me at my most offensive and biased and uninformed.

This is a rant. Treat it as such.

Twilight.

What the fuck.

This is what I get out of the ordeal, having not read or seen any of it, and from what I have had mercilessly shoved down my throat from rabid fangirls this is what I gather. If details are wrong, blame them, or me for not caring enough to actually go see or read

I actually know a seven-year-old named Bella Swanson. It's weirdddd.

(The only detail I would quibble with is her relationship w/the werewolf character. It's not so much a loved-from-afar thing; they were bffs. Besides that you are 100% spot-on; you are especially well-expressed in the last few paragraphs.)

Swanson, is a name, so I acknowledge that but Swan on its own... nah.

(Pardon, just going on the sudden transition xD)

Her first name is Isabella. This doesn't make it any better but I remember that line because a few years back, I had the erm "pleasure" of sitting next to a dear friend who happened to be a fangirl. And she happened to be reading them on the computer right next to me and being the nosey creature I am, I read over her shoulder. What I do remember involves him thinking she smells nice enough to kill and break a 90 year not-eating-humans shindig he's got goin on, and that her real name's Isabella but she hates it and only goes by Bella. Oh and he can't read her mind. Woohoo?

Anywho, you've forgotten to point out how surly, abusive and stalkerish is the new popular boyfriend choice. Because obviously if you're whiny and pretentious, a man like that is perfect for you. You also probably have not heard about Pedowulf. :D

Oh god, do I want to know? Either way I can't understand how people do this "Team Edward" and "Team Jake" crap. They're both absolutely horrid choices for romantic interests if they either like her for the wrong reasons or potentially make her life hell. But just the idea that this little Mary Sue ISmellGoodToVampires is having the general populous campaigning for which superlative jackass to date makes my head hurt.

I know an Isabella. She is like five or six. However, her parents are well... hicks?

"90 year not eating human shindig" and he is able to be active how? what, so vampires can sustain themselves on cafeteria food now?

Hey now. I'm no Twilight fan...far from it. My feminist nature cringes at the things that book promotes...

But I am "hey now"ing the anti name Bella and indication that only hicks like that name. Cuz my cousin is pretty much my most epic rolemodel of all time and her daughter is named Arabella - called Bella for short.

;) Anyway, just saying I love me some Bella! (If Stephanie Meyer is not involved)

[ruby_flu]

I didn't mean that hicks only like that name. I mean that it's much more of a fancier, new-age name.
