That is all.
I’ll keep you posted.
(my next post will be about leggings not being pants – another issue i would like to rant about).

Eutychus was a young man who fell to his death because the Apostle Paul preached for too long (Acts 20). I've decided to canonise Eutychus and make him the patron saint of my dalliances around the Internet.

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 backLEFT!” (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.
