It is. :D The editing isn't much fun, though, because Windows Movie Maker isn't my friend. :c I have another editing program, and I'll try it on the next video to see if it's any better.
I really like this. However, I must disagree on the little rant. One of the few things in vampire lore Stephanie actually takes into consideration (because it fits perfectly, of course) is that vampires are irresistible to humans. It sounds more like some kind of charm than their actual looks, but when they transform into vampires, their skin also becomes smoother and their hair becomes perfect and silky. Vampires are always irresistible to humans, and it has nothing to do with the beauty standards of the time.
Also, in most vampire fiction I've read (which isn't much, but it does extend outside Twilight and the Southern Vampire series), vampires do indeed choose to turn victims for their abilities/qualities (or because they're in love), not because they're easy victims. They drink from easy victims, but they wouldn't turn them into one of their own. And then everyone does become stronger when they become vampires, so they shouldn't be getting weaker as a race.
You have good points. I'd be much more willing to accept the beauty-thing if it was simply explained by magic. The Veela in Harry Potter, for example, possess supernatural charms and beauty, and that makes perfect sense, because they're magical. But my point is that Stephenie claims her vampires aren't magical, which is a pretty stupid move on her part, as it makes the whole thing seem even more Mary-Sue-ish than it needs to be. Honestly, if you're bad at science, stick with magic. That's why I write mostly fantasy. :P You're probably right about the turning, though.
Ahhh I see. I keep forgetting she insisted they weren't magic. What did she mean by that anyway? Vampires not magic? That's like saying humans aren't animals or something.. which always cracks me up. :D

It must be fun to dress up in hilarious outfits, and act the scenes out with cuddly animals. ♥

Rant for a rant, sorry. :P
