Hasn't anyone ever told you? Life isn't fair.

I have such a love/hate relationship with Twilight. When I first read the start of the series I was all over it. It was like I was 14 again. And that's who it's aimed at, so you know.

Then the rest of the books came and I was thinking, well, okay. I'll keep going and see what happens. By the last book I was gritting my teeth and saying, OKAY S.MEY. TIME TO MAN UP. DON'T MAKE ME REGRET THE TIME I SPENT READING THE FIRST THREE, MMKAY?

I'll buy the movie because I love to hate it and it has Sparklepires in it. I had an awesome time watching it in the theatre with my bffs. I've already made plans to attend New Moon when it comes out and I'm watching the casting news and prep work for the next two spans of filming because goddamn is the Twifandom fun. pipry32 YOU HAVE TO KEEP WATCH ON WHAT'S GOING DOWN OVER THERE!

The RPF is fun to write, too. RPatzz and Kstew pretty much write it themselves and probably feel deep shame over that. More ammunition!

But finally. FINALLY. Someone has come out and said what a fuckload of people have been waiting for. Thank you, Stephen King.

What is it about vampire series? They usually start out awesome, and then somehow get way too weird/overblown/big for their own boots.

Case in point: Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series, and (of course), Anne freakin' Rice. *SIGH*

ANITA BLAKE. GOOD LORD. I started that series, too. And then when Anita became a super whore spiritual leaders/pard whateverthefuck I punched my card for the end of the shift.

Twilight started out bad but it had enough triggers for me to remember what it was like to be in love with a dreamy guy that I didn't care. Now it's both amazing and frustrating to see everyone else fall in love with it now that the movie's out. Someone in my office started reading the first book and I could barely stop myself from telling her to run. Which I don't want to do because I don't want to ruin it for other people, if they truly like it, but if they do and think it's GOOD... I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS!

I'm like Edward, torn between Bella and being PROPER. *sparkle!emo*

I really wish LKH had stuck to the earlier themes in the series; the vampire hunting, and Anita's animator powers. That shit was always way more fascinating to me than vampire/werewolf nookie. Bloody Bones was the best of the series, when she was away from both Jean Claude AND Richard. *SIGH*

I really liked Richard and then LKH broke up with her husband in RL and was like- I KNOW! I'll make Richard a total prick and drag him through that mud! THAT WILL SHOW MY HUSBAND! And then I'll introduce a character just like my new lover who gives me so much sex I have to make Anita share it with everyone ever. BUT. The males can never touch each other in a sexual way because that's wrong.

I KNOW. HILARITY! Way to ruin your own book series, sweetheart!!
