slap of the arpeggio

Gaaaah.

Am reading Twilight. Just to make sure it's really worth the wank.

Thing is, I was reading Lovecraft immediately beforehand, and the juxtaposition is like going from plasma-screen HDTV to a black-and-white affair with rabbit ears you have to spastically wave around in order to get anything resembling a satisfactory picture.

New!Teacher swore I would love it and send me the file earlier today. Eighty pages left and I am so thoroughly beyond unconvinced. She owes me an Atlas bar (which, bluerosefairy, are a highly recommended specimen of Korean junk food). This is seriously the least engaging thing I've read in a very long time. And that includes the photo essay on mangroves I just taught in fifth grade.

The "one big incestuous vampire family" thing could have been kind of cool, too. But I am Not Thinking About This because I have yet to start my Yuletide fic. Ahahaha, God help me.

Dude, thank you. The movie was horrid-- bad acting, horrible dialogue. It was painful to sit through.

Then, I picked up the book at the store, waiting on my perscription, I got about twenty pages in and I must say that the writing is mediocre at best. I don't understand how a trite book, predictable and not very well written, could be blown up into such a big thing. It's not fair-- I know people who write beautiful, fresh material and write it well. Like you for instance.

I dunno-- just glad I'm not the only one not on the damn Twilight train.

I know right? There are amazing authors who have been struggling for years to achieve an iota of the success that Meyer has, and her books are deplorable!

Yes, thank you. I felt almost pressured when I walked out of the theater to say 'oh, my that was great', of course, me being me, I just flat-out told them: "Dudes, that blew."

I don't know who makes up the rules on what's going to be hot or not, but I sure as hell don't like them. There are far more deserving authors out there.

At least I'm not the only one who feels this way...

Look who's commenting! *pounces*

Why did you not tell me you saw the movie? Did you think I'd say we can't be friends anymore? BECAUSE YOU WOULD BE CORRECT.

...I'll probably see it anyway, because I love a good train wreck.

I thought I did? It was that night I told you I was going out with Matthew to the movies, remember?

Anyways-- I WOULDN'T BE FRIENDS WITH ME EITHER. But, in my defense, I had no idea what kind of boring-ass IQ-killer I was walking into.

Oh, by the way: I LOVE YOU. <3

I'm late again (bus ride back was an interesting experience), but I have Costco-sized jars of PB&J and you should come online to write fresh material with me! *tugs*
