So I've been getting pretty ticked off at the whole Twilight Saga thing. I mean, sure, they are amazingly written books, but it's getting INSANE! Here, for your enjoyment, is a breakdown of the Twilight fans/anti-fans.
-The I-Only-Like-It-Because-It's-Cool Person: Simply put, they only like Twilight because it's the "in" thing to do. I knew someone like this, and they once said "OMG, Twilight is SOOO 2008... I hate it now." Previously, she had been obsessed and skipped school to see the actors at a local Hot Topic. In another case, this girl had switched from Team Edward (Monday) to Team Jacob (Tuesday) to I HATE TWILIGHT!!!!!1!!!1!!! (Friday).
-The TWILIGHT STINKS AND I DETEST IT! person: This person cannot stand Twilight and feels like shouting their opinion to the world when Twilight is mentioned. First, yes, we all have a right to our different opinions, but people (not just limited to Twilight anti-fans) are turning into an arrogant poopyface when they feel like shouting their opinions, especially if they're negative. Another thing, is that- okay, you can dislike it and maybe even despise it but that does not mean you can announce that to the world. If you don't like something that much- SHUT UP ABOUT IT! If you irk someone by dissing their favorite book, you're bound to get shunned and maybe even in a heated argument about something, so you'll end up talking about the book you supposedly abhor for a good couple minutes, compared to the zero minutes you would have spent if you had just not mention it at all. A simple "Oh, I don't like those books" would have sufficed too.
-The I Like The Books Not The Movie People. Example= ME! I love the books, they're wonderful, but the movie was blaaaah. Lots of other people fall into this category.
-The TWILIGHT IS LIFE people. Yeah, yeah, we all know who I'm talking about. That one annoying chick at your school who lives, eats, breathes, smells like, tastes and LOVES Twilight.
Annoying is just the light way to put it. I'm okay with people sporting Twilight shirts and wristbands and carrying the book around with them everywhere, but once you but the PERFUME, the SPARKLE DUST, the KEYCHAINS and the FREAKING BOOK BAGS, it's getting a little insane. Perfume? What do vampires smell like anyway? WTF moment in Hot Topic.
-The "There Are Books?" people. Saw the movie. Loved the movie. Bought all the products. Bought the movie. Watched the movie a million times. Yet, somehow, DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE BOOKS BEFORE THE MOVIE. Either they didn't know or were too obsessed with OMG EDWARD CULLEN to even notice the row of Twilight books at the book store/library.
The movies, so far (I haven't seen New Moon yet), have stunk. I'm blaming Catherine Hardwicke for the first one, because I'm hoping the second, third and fourth ones are better with a different director. I guess, I had such high expectations for the movie, and I was disappointed because nothing could live up to Twilight the book. It was an excellent book, and movies are generally let downs, in the book-turned-movie case. I'm hoping they get better. But, oh, the only way they'll get better is if Kristen Stewart leaves. :D
Update time! So, about a year ago, my brother burnt My Chemical Romance CDs for me. Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge and The Black Parade. I never listened to them because I thought My Chemical Romance was this weird band and I was too busy listening to the Pussycat Dolls and Natasha Bedingfield to listen to a new band. Then, about a month ago when I got into Green Day, I started wondering about those CDs at the bottom of my bookshelf, and thinking maybe I should put them on my computer. And I did. And I loved them. I'm obsessed. It's amazing how many new bands I've gotten into this year. MGMT, Green Day, Rooney, My Chemical Romance, The Format, Fun., Journey and Queen. It's insane. I like it. So much music, so little time! That's all that's really new with me and my life. Write later- stay awesome, people.
Update!- I just got back from seeing New Moon with my besties, and I liked it a whole lot better than Twilight! I don't know if it was just a really horrible movie, but since I had such low expectations it was actually good, or if it was actually a good movie. Jasper had some amazing lines that Serena and I about died at those parts... :) Maybe seeing it with my besties made it better? Even though John was like -facepalm- the whole time, I don't think he detested it as much as he let on... I mean, come on- people throwing each other around and smashing them into the floor? "I'm gunna shoot your friggin' face off!" How can you not smile at that?
