Good. I've had a very serious discussion with certain parties regarding the fact that Edward Cullen is a figment of Stephanie Meyer's imagination and will therefore never crawl through their bedroom windows, however fervently they might wish it to be so.
Is anyone else creeped out by the fact he crawls in a girl's window and watches her sleep all night? Jesus, get a hobby.
I read a lot of biographies, mostly about the Tudor family for some reason. I don't know when I got started on that (and now I'm hooked, because there are so many versions of so many events that I feel compelled to read books from every viewpoint), but I figure that can somehow help my parents feel like they didn't waste money sending me to college when I come home to visit with a Twilight book in my bag.
I just think there's a difference between complaining about the movie itself and how it is talked about. Just like I think Twilight is stupid (and I've read 3.2 of those books as some sort of masochistic test) but it's ok to like it. When people talk about how emosparklepire boy is the most perfect guy ever is when I say something. I'm sure I'd learn more about GWTW itself if I watched it, but I don't feel like I should have to subject myself to it to know what's problematic about the idealization of the era.
