and we frolicked about

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.

So today the family got some work done on their house with the help of my uncle's friends. There was a lot of jackhammering involved and trips to dump the results. To thank people they had a barbecue for the people who helped out and for the people they normally hang out with and I helped a bunch with that.

The kids of these people came, a couple that I'm used to, and one new girl who is 11. When her mom was getting her plate for her she asked if she wanted cucumbers and the eleven year old said in a snotty tone, "I only like those at the spa." Erm, okay. The mom is kind of like that too, though. She's tall, blonde and thin, she's got gel nails with one of those dangling charm things from one pinky nail (SERIOUSLY? What is the point of THAT?!) and she has something to say that's just a little more than everyone else. One of those, "any story you can tell, I can tell better" types. She was nice enough but not someone I'd want to hang out with a lot.

I think everyone's going home now, though, and I hope they do because three tiny people listening to Hannah Montana in the room below me with surround sound at 11:30pm isn't my idea of fun. And I heart Hannah Montana.

In other news, I've heard that possibly there's already plans in the works for New Moon, the second in the Twilight saga, to be scripted and filmed. Ooooooh boy. I have my doubts on this intel as the first movie is generating buzz on the internet but it's not likely to do that great and it doesn't come out until December. The only reason why people on the internet are excited is because the book was SO BAD. The film makers should possibly look into this phenomenon before getting to jazzed on making the other three into movies, too.

Still not over the Doctor Who finale.

By Stephenie Meyer? Know what the series is about, have an inkling in the least?

Come vote in a poll regarding the name of an Edward/Jacob community. See it here. It would be nice if more people voted, especially if you have an interest in Twilight, Edward or Jacob or them together as a pairing (friends, romantically, otherwise). Also, tell a friend.

Mmmkay?

Here's the dealio. I want to start an Edward/Jacob community for the Twilight fandom. Cause, you know, yes. They're hot, slash is hot, it might upset the balance of the fandom, maybe some good fic will come out of it- who knows?

Anyway. So I have a few options for names and smidgy06 said I should poll the crap out of you all. Thusly:
