Two things that I’ve learned at school today:
A) Many girls follow what other girls do. I heard one girl say she wanted to go on a 1,000 calarie a day diet because her friend did and she lost 15 pounds in two-three weeks
(Okay, I’m not a doctor, but isn’t that a trip to anorexia lane? and 15 pounds in three weeks…doesn’t that seems a bit unhealthy)
B) Some girls have bachelors degrees in the art of deception.
(I’m through with the whole high school thing, now)
I always told myself that I wouldn’t blog about the whole Twilight series. But right now, I can’t help to blog about it because I’m annoyed.
Before you read any further, don’t belive that this is a hate blog against Twilight. I generally like the series. I had truly enjoyed it when I first read it (back when there werent 10 million people reading it).
Despite my likeing of the series, I can’t help but grow annoyed at the way people treat it. My annoyance steadily grew over time until I’m basically sick of seeing Twilight advertisements all over the place (school, internet, etc.)
Let me clarrify a few examples for you.
Person #1: Hey, did you hear about this new sereies?!?
Person#2: No….what’s it called???
Person#1: Twilight! It’s really good!
Person#2: Gotta check it out!
That was cool
Another scenario:
Person#1 Hey, did you hear about Twilight?
Person#2: Yes! It’ an absolutely amazing serires!
Person#1: Hell Yeah! Say, let’s hit the mall for twilight t-shirts
Person#2: All right!!!!
And that was cool
But when this scenario, happened, I had enough:
Person #1: OMG!!!!!! HAVE YOU READ TWILIGHT!!!!!????!!
Person#2: OMG, YES!!!! IT”S THE BEST SERIES IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD.
Person#1: I KNOW!!! NOTHING COMPARES TO TWILIGHT. I WANT TO MARRY EDWARD!
Person#2: NO WAY!!!! I’M GONNA MARRY EDWARD
Persson#1: NO I WILL!!!!!!
etc.
Now, before you go like huh? what I’m ticked off about, let me explain. Number one, I cannot help but grow annoyed when people-well teenyboppers and teenagers-exclaim that Twilight is the best book in the entire world. I’m not annoyed when they say that it’s the best book that they’ve ever read (maybe they didn’t read much before). But I cannot help to grow annoyed by these little jabs they make, which implies that many authors in the world lack in comparison to Stephanie Meyer.
I applaud Stephanie Meyer for writing a book that has captured the attention of many, but I don’t belive she’s the greatest author that has ever lived. I jus tdon’t. Her writting is bad. I belive some 12 year olds write better.
Number two….I look back at at the characters, and now I can’t help but think that the movie is a bit like those historical novels where the heroine depends on the hero to save her. In a way, I kind of relate the relationship between Bella and Edward as that. She’s drawn to the fact that he’s a vampire (yeah, that fact has been established), but I can’t help but believe that Edward is a bit masochistic (I wonder if I spelled that right). He refuses for her to see Jacob at first. Now if that had been my boyfriend, I would have decked him, vampire or not. Nobody prevents me from seeing anyone. Edward seems to dominate the relation ship, and honestly, I don’t belive Bella to be a strong feminie character reflecting today’s modern woman. She seems a bit too needy (ie…wanting to kill herself because Edward left her).
Number three….I get sick of people talking about Edward as though he were a real person, to the point as thought they were fighting about it. And everytime I see a Twilight poster (I see it everyday at school–I want to tear it down), I get creeped out every time I see Rohert Pattison’s (is that his name?) face. I’ve had a lot of crushes on guys during my time of all races and ages (celeberties included) ever since I hit puberty. But whenever I keep seeing Robert Pattison’s face, I can’t help but think:
Man. He looks like a pedophile.
LOL. I’m sorry, I can’t help but laugh at what I wrote. In a nutshell, I just didn’t enjoy the movie. It seemed like a teenybopper movie…nothing that resembled the passion for Twilight when I first read it. Maybe it was just 4 years too late.
Again, I don’t hate the series. I am just annoyed by theway people keep treating it as thought it is the Bible itself.
Although, I bet the publishing house is applauding the marketing that the book is going. Lotta revenue for them
Hopefully next time I blog, I’ll be in a less pissy modd.
Until then.
Peace.
