I'm sorry for anyone who likes Twilight, I hate it! :( First of all, Stephenie Meyer is a Mormon, so she shouldn't be writing about hundred-year old guys and teen girls falling in love, that's just messed up. Secondly, when Bella and Edward are in the meadow, in MOrman history, there was a "meadow massacre" and in that meadow Bella is telling Edward about how she loves him, and Edward is saying that it is hard for him not to eat her. That's just wrong when you look at Mormon history and compare it with the Twilight series. Basically, Meyer is going against her own religion there. Thirdly, people are being drawn into the wrong sort of matieral. Why should a child of age nine or even lower be reading that? It isn't right for Meyer to be selling that kind of advertisment to the young. Fourthly, some parents allow their children to read the series without reading it themselves! That just shows how that kind of inducing material can bewitch parents into thinking it's OK because stuff like that is shown on TV and they may think that Edward or Jacob is hot. Once again, I'm sorry if I've offended anyone by posting my views, but I say what I feel I need to say. :)

So I recently discovered That Guy With The Glasses and spent about three hours watching random stuff. And the Bum Review of Twilight/NM? Hilarious stuff, guys. Oh, I cried.
From the Twilight review:
"So there's this kid, who's a vampire? Only no one seems to no he's a vampire! He just has pale skin, sunken in eyes, and never goes out during the daylight. Oh! And he travels with other people with pale skin, sunken in eyes, who never go out in the daylight! And the other kids are like, 'Why is that kid so strange? He stopped a car with his bare hands, and can leap HIGH UP into the air...?' Then the kids are like, 'OH MY GOD I GOT IT! That kid is SUPERMAN!' But then this one girl is like, 'I don't think he's superman!' So she goes on the computer to do some research, and the computer's like, 'He's a bloodsucker! A creature of the night! Nosferatu!' And then the computer's like, 'Do I have to spell it out for you? He's a vampire!' And the girl is like, 'OH MY GOD! ...THAT IS SO HOT!'"
"And the vampire's like, 'You must keep my secret because no one must know!' And I'm like, 'PEOPLE FROM EGYPT CAN TELL YOU'RE A VAMPIRE! Ya don't hide it very well! All that's missing is a shirt that says, "I am a Vampire. Bite Me."'"
"I think I'm tortured, but I'm just pretentious."
"And the vampire's like, 'I will just stare at you.' [twenty seconds of awkward silence] 'For some reason I find that very attractive.'"
"'I'm a vegetarian vampire! It's like eating tofu.' ...THAT'S NOT VERY SCARY YOU KNOW!"
"So then he goes in the sunlight... Which I guess doesn't kill him... Because they're vegetarian vampires, they get more vitamin D. And then his skin starts shining like DIAMONDS! And the girl is like, 'Boy, some girls are lucky if their boyfriend gets them a diamond. But my boyfriend is COVERED in diamonds! Can I just wear YOU on my finger?'"
"But then the WEAL EVIL VAMPIRES come, and they're like, 'We want to eat your girlfriend.' And he's like, 'Why?' and they're like, 'Because!' [gasp]"
"I smell pretentiousness! She's THAT WAY!"
"And the girl is like, 'Turn me into a vampire.' And the boy is like, 'I can't.' And the girl is like, 'Why?' And the boy's like, 'Cause we have like five more sequels, I'll do it then.' 'Oh, okay.'"

OK, you guys are hilarious! I don't think I'll be reading Twilight. Above all, it sounds sappy. I don't do sappy.

I might definitely have to look that up... Is it on YouTube or something?

Henh. It is. My friends and I looked him up last night on YouTube... The Twilight/New Moon reviews were absolutely *hilarious*.
Then Regina got exasperated by his voice and made us stop.

You updated your site awhile ago, I looked on it today because I was procrastinating/bored (read: brooding about math test...), and now, quite frankly, I am scared.
It made me stop brooding about the math test though, because it could be worse. I could be on Bellatrix's bad side. Plus, I can retake the math test. *rambles*

*grin* I... may have gone a bit overboard. Sorry.

Twilight is great

the necroscope series is by far the greatest and most unique vampire series i have ever read..... definitely not for younger readers because of its extremely graphic nature..but far superior to twighlight for sure

I DO NOT like Twilight. I can barely even get a word in at church or lunch because they are talking about the movie and book and whose team they'll be on and who can read all the books and do I like their Edward\Jacob branded shirt, backpack, etc. and did you see that part where....... and on and on and on and on and BLEAH! Too much media. I prefer doodling and chewing gum and writing and running and creative stuff. Sorry, popular fad, I'm out of it!

Ugh. Twilight.
@Invisible: I got so sick of people at lunch talking about Twilight, I made the "Stop Twilight Pledge" and got my fellow Twihaters to sign it.
Want to see something funny that's Twilight related? Go to Inkwell on CB, find the "Random Poetry" thread, and then find the Twilight Comparisons poem. Be prepared to laugh your little head off.

"Harry gets put in the Tri-wiz-ard Tou-rna-ment, with dra-gons and mer-maids, oh NO, Edward Cullen gets SLAYED (think fake dramatic sarcastic voice)....."
Oh, and did I mention that all of this is set to the tune of Buckbeak's Flight? Pure awesomeness. I <3 Harry Potter in 99 Seconds!
