Can I glue one of those shild potty-training instruments to the roof, and ride to Hell on that? I want to send a message that can only be sent by sitting on a toilet and yelling "WHEEEEEEEE!"

Why that is already very much off topic because we are supposed to be discussing Stephanie Meyer. As a matter of fact, I watched an interview of her the other day. She described the Bella/Edward/Jacob love triangle as the struggle between fantasy love and reality love. Which I thought was an idiotic distinction. Fantasy love? What the hell is that supposed to be? A love that only exists in your imagination? Reality love? Seriously, woman? I personally prefer all relationships concerning love to be under the category of "reality love" otherwise I need to get a prescription filled pronto.

Yay, Sunshine! Very well done. I really don't think that Meyer can be justified for simply 'making kids read.' The more I think about it, the more I don't like it. Because what she's making them read is a doormat of a girl being emotionally and slightly physically abused by a guy who practically forces her to fall in love with him so that he can control her and know what she's thinking since he can't do it the easy way. This book is practically a manual for how to fall into a bad relationship and think it's real love simply because the guy sexy. So, I would rather no one read those books, then consider Meyer a vessel for literacy. Sorry. Rant over.

*applause* Rants are fun to read. Some of my friends, especially my mom, have argued that since most of people reading the books don't think it's abusive so it is OK. I think my jaw broke, at that moment. It is the fact that people don't recognize it as an unhealthy relationship that makes it so dangerous. A girl may now get into and stay a relationship with a man who prevents her from visiting friends and basically controls and dictates her whole life, and what will her justification be for it? "Oh it's alright because he's my Edward" *mental forehead slap*

Exactly! I mean, you'd be stupid to think that these books haven't had an actual impact on people's lives. Guys are going to clubs with glitter on their cheeks, spiked hair, and a brooding attitude to get laid and no one sees a problem with this?! Granted, some guys did that before Twilight but a lot of them are pigs that are playing Edward. Bah.

...With actual glitter? lol. I don't even think there's a way to respond to that.

We should point and laugh when we see it?

Yes, I think you should. They sell makeup now with glitter in it, just for the freaky fans. Sad world.

It's a good thing I love glitter makeup. Or else I may've just had to spin into a pit of misanthropic despair! But, no. Love it.

For a girl, cyborg. On a man? That is taking it a bit too far...
