Why the hell not?

A meme:

The problem with Livejournal is that we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. Hence, I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don’t know about you.

Something for me to think about while I'm trying to get *something* done today for a change.

When I make posts about how Twilight haters drive me FUCKING NUTS, I don't ever mean you :) Because your posts make me laugh myself silly (and you are so right about the things you say). There are just one or two other people on my f'list who make remarks that make me want to punch them in the face. I don't care if people hate the books, but some of them are VERY hypocritcal about it and they post NOTHING else. So they bug me. You don't bug me :)

Now, the really ironic thing about this... is that I think Twilight is the worst piece of writing that I've ever read (but oddly I'm still reading it.... because I want to know what happens and the things I've heard about Breaking Dawn make me go. O.O so I need to read them for myself) and it makes me go o.O that it got published and other awesome writers haven't gotten published.

:) Anyway. So yes.

And I did your meme backwards! Sorry! :)

Heh. Not a problem. :)

The thing with Twilight is that the first book wasn't that bad. I mean, okay, it was pretty bad, but on the other hand, three really awesome books afterwards would have made that a kickass series. I would have liked it if it would have been the lousy start to a good series instead of the good start to a lousy series, you know what I mean?

And, like, I don't have a problem with people who like it, just the ones who absolutely REFUSE to acknowledge the gaping problems with the thing. It's like my best friend -- she watches the movie constantly, gives the series to everyone she knows and has an Edward crush. On the other hand, she hates Bella and Jacob, thought the last book was ridiculous, and laughs at my two anti-Twilight shirts. We're a good match. :)

That said, rereading it is like rereading the crappy Titanic romance I save for special occasions -- it pisses me off so much that it got published at the stage it went out in (i.e., desperately in need of a no-holds-barred-no-feelings-spared editor), it jump-starts the HELL out of my muse. ;D

I think what freaks me out is how people rave about how romantic and wonderful Edward is... and he's a creepy bipolar manipulative controlling stalker.

That's my biggest problem.

Well that and the fact that the writing is so BLAH.
