i failed the first time.

I'm listening to Breaking Dawn during my commute, since a friend of mine, who shall remain nameless, peer pressured me into it. I'm having a lot of feelings, mainly while I'm driving. It's horrible ( Read more... )

All things related to the Twilight books are just awful. Unless it's making fun of all things related to Twilight.

Though it makes you wonder why shit like that gets published and the good stuff (like your novel!) sit in the publishing wasteland. Damn Stephanie Meyers and her horrible, horrible writing.

I think the recent decision by Simon & Schuster (and sudden retraction) to dump an award-winning series right after they signed Hilary Duff (who is apparently a YA "writer" now?) says a lot about the state of the publishing industry in general.

I've just gotten to Bella's realization that she's pregnant, and the disc started skipping, saving me from Edward's decision to react to this news by standing and staring coldly...again. That's like his default setting.

Ugh, Hilary Duff.

I love that the CDs/your player is also digusted by all things Twilight. It's as if the universe is trying to spare you!

I refused to let it spare me! I had to know how Edward and Bella would react to the crazy monster baby. And apparently it was refusing to speak to each other for 24 hours worth of travel.

God, how do they even stand being around each other? They're so awkward it's painful.

I hated all those books. Hated with a fierce passion. *shudders* It would take me weeks to describe all the issues I had with them. :P

Oh, I always said I could write a dissertation on these books. If I ever go back for my PhD in some humanities field, that's totally happening.

But manipulation is romantic. Didn't you know? It just shows how much they love each other!

syriinx August 20 2011, 02:49:57 UTC

I know, right? Edward doesn't want to hurt Bella! (Until...suddenly it stopped being such an issue and it was sex, sex, sex all the time.) And Bella...just wants sex. Seriously, she's obsessed to an almost unhealthy degree. Bella's manipulation was almost the more offensive of the two, it pains me to say.
