For me, its fatherhood (My wife doesn’t have the patience to read…where is my divorce lawyer!!!) but the point is well taken. What got me was when my well behaved, quiet, studious little dreamer entered middle school, within a week the attitude had ratcheted up 1000 percent, she started replying “I know…right?” to every single statement I or the wife made and she formed a perpetual scowl.

Sigh. Almost teeneagers…

Dear, may I welcome you to the world of motherhood and pre-teens. Sounds like you got sucked into “Twilight.” But, dear, what do you really think? I think I know. You need a Zoloft:
all mothers do.

My hatred for all things Twilight has reached epic proportions. I have a 12 year old daughter who is a voracious reader and not wanting to impede such pursuits, I bought her all the books. Apparently these books are all the rage at her middle school (as with everywhere else) but another parent had mentioned to me that there was some dicey material so I decided to read the damn things to make sure it was age appropriate.

Sigh. 3,000 pages of shit. Moderately interesting premise followed by 5 or 6 hundred thousand repetitions of the same scene.

Bella: “Oh Edward, I love you so, please ravage me.”
Edward: “Oh Bella, I love you so but I cannot for I will not be able to restain my desire to eat you.”
Bella: “I don’t care, make me a blood sucker!”
Edward: “No! It can’t be me!” Edward quietly sobs.

End scene. Repeat 4 billion times.

Nothing happens in any of the books until 20 pages from the end except book 4 which was actually kind of ok because it had a plot and things actually happened.

What pisses me off is that 70 MILLION BOOKS HAVE BEEN SOLD WORLDWIDE.

70 MILLION! Proof that most of the world is brainless.

End rant.

Um, the picture is of me when I was seven, so said Photoshopping would be unbearably creepy.

Congrats on getting published several times, on your poem above and especially on not being a Twitard (pronounced twy tard)! :D

I have nothing against the idea of changing vampires a bit as such (see under True Blood), but the Twilight saga is 4th rate Mary Sue fan fic!

Mom, what about Photoshopping someone else’s face, say Scarlett Johanson’s (cos her hair colour is so totally different) onto the soccer photo? And yes, still British, but entirely happy with calling soccer soccer.

Thanks, dude! And, yeah, while I wouldn’t say New Moon was worth going out and intentionally seeing, if you have friends who wanna drag you, it’s worth being dragged.

Also, I’ll admit I’m mocking 2012 without having seen it — maybe the hotness that is John Cusack makes up for the dumb action-movie-ness? (Also also, because I know you’ll appreciate this: I stood in line behind John Cusack at a fro yo place in LA years ago. He is even hotter in person. Swoooooon.)

YAYYYY I’m so happy for you! Congrats again on being published!!

I lovvvved your poem.. and I think that should be published too.

And while I am not a twilight fan, I’ve heard several people who had a reaction similar to yours…and I guess I’ll have to give this movie a chance. Even though I severly disliked Twilight.

And I really liked 2012… hmmph. :)

It’s like poetry in motion. Loved it. (your poem, not the movie. Haven’t seen it.)

Congratulations on being published!
