That's it.

I'm writing an essay.
It's going to be crazy long, complicated, and absolutely brilliant.
It's going to be called, "Why I loathe Twilight."

Seriously.

I saw so many people today, wearing crazy Twilight shirts that said horrible things like, "Ima love you foreverz because I'm a dependent submissive women, just like my over-protective, pedo of a stalker slave driver vegetarian vampire wants me to be. Also, I like kitchens".
Okay, well, that's not what the shirts said, but that's pretty much what they all translated too.

Also, "And the lamb fell in love with the lion" MAKES ME WANT TO TAKE A GUN TO MY FACE. I get so angry whenever I see/read this. My blood is boiling now that I'm thinking about it. How can someone get so hateful over a stupid line in a stupid book?

Well ladies and gentlemen, I loathe Twilight. That's why.

New person in cafe now, likes Twilight. I think she may be..."special?" Or intelligence may be questioned...

Isn't that horrible? When I judge someone's intellect based on wether or not they like a book?

Because to me, when someone says they like Twilight they are pretty much telling me:
-I don't pay attention to things around me
-I'm self-indulgent, and think of my needs over everyone elses
-The most important thing in life is pleasing my boyfriend, everything to do with my boyfriend comes before everything else in the world.
-I am disrespectful, shallow, and judgemental of other people (lolololol okay, hypocrite alert on that last one, since I'm being all judgemental on Twilight fans, but still)
-I blindly follow fads/ I cannot think for myself/ I don't question things/IF EVERYONE THINKS IT'S BRILLIANT, IT MUST BE, RIGHT? (This one I have a huuuuuuge problem with. I'm deeply concerned based on a political/historical/social spectrum of everything that could possibly go wrong in the world...happens because of these idiots)
-I deny the independence of women, and am some how okay with the idea of a submissive kitchen wife with no future/plans for education or a career who is intent with only making babies and pleasing her man. In a masocistic sort of way, I completely disregard thousands of years of women striving to prove that are capable of more than this.

There is more, and I could go on and on, but that's why I'm thinking of actually writing this all out clearly and, well, 'good'.

Basically, I make snap decisions about somebody based on their liking of Twilight, which is wrong I admit, but is it completely unfounded?

I know you could simply assume, that half the people who enjoy Twilight just read for the fun of it and aren't paying attention to things like that nor are they anaylizing every single bit of every book they read.

But to me, I find that a little frightening. So it's just a book, but it's about 'being aware.'

People aren't going to pay attention to thinks that really should be looked at a little more closely.
It's all about having fun, living your puny little life without a care in the world, cuz hey, what does it matter to me?

I'll remember to point out just how much it matters when the world is run by robots or something in the future. You know, something that could have been avoided if people 'paaaaayed attention.'

Hahaha. /end rant of tangents.

I promise this isn't want any essay would be like, which is the point of structuring it. But I'm seriously sick of it all. I think we should all be writing about it, maybe compile it all together and send it out the publishers.

Someone has to do it I tell you!

    I like it. Do it. I'll love you. The Stepmother in the show comes in ALL the time in "Team Edward" shirts, and it makes me cry.

    And the "newbie"... WTF Isn't it clearly written somewhere you may not work in a bookstore if you cannot appreciate good literature? I DISTINCTLY remember reading this in the handbook.

    Convert her, Sophie. Convert her better than a mormon missionary. I believe in you.
