   The recent news story about teenage girls chas­ing RPattz around with bleed­ing necks where they had cut them­selves was the pin­na­cle for me. Dis­turb­ing on so many lev­els. And yes, embar­rass­ing.
   …
   That’s funny. I ranted about the leg­gings as pants issue the other day…

   Hmmmm.

   I like Twi­light, but I’m no rabid fan or any­thing. It is embar­rass­ing the way some girls act. But in point form…

   Dis­agree­ments

   1. I tried read­ing Romeo and Juliet once. And failed. It was bor­ing.
   2. Edward doesn’t like Bella sim­ply because he can’t read her mind. That is what first intrigued him, yes. But most mar­ried cou­ples will tell you that what first intrigued them about their spouse is not why they now love him/her.
   3. Eat­ing deer… well, he’s a vam­pire. So it sounds like your prob­lem is that she’d fall in love with a vam­pire? (Don’t worry, I’d agree — I have that Face­book bumper­sticker that says “I don’t care how roman­tic it is, falling in love with a vam­pire is STUPID”.)
   4. Bella doesn’t love Edward just for his good looks… although it does play a sig­nif­i­cant part
   5. The char­ac­ter devel­op­ment is actu­ally pretty fan­tas­tic. It’s what redeems the bad sto­ry­line. I don’t know a lot of Twi­light fans, but most of the ones I do LOVE the Cullen fam­ily but would be happy get­ting rid of the stu­pid love storyline.

   Agree­ments

   1. There are some bizarrely stu­pid girls out there
   2. The ‘sig­nif­i­cant part’ I alluded to in Point 4 above
   3. Power/control issues… you have no idea. Read New Moon and Eclipse, it gets worse. You might have heard that in New Moon Edward is actu­ally absent for most of it. Then he came back at the end. All these rabid Edward-fangirls on Face­book put up bumper­stick­ers say­ing “My favourite part of New Moon was when Edward came back”. I have one say­ing “My favourite part of New Moon was when Edward came back LEFT!” (Hope the html works, I can’t remem­ber if Nathan’s com­ments allow it or not.) I *might* be one of those rebel­lious ‘Team Jacob’ girls… >_> (coz he treats her about 50 times bet­ter than Edward does.)
   4. Bad sto­ry­line… well, it’s badly writ­ten.
   5. LEGGINGS. Leg­gings are fine under skirts/dresses but NOT AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PANTS.
