Oh my darling flist. I have to laugh at you. Or some of you. Mostly the ones who've been reading Breaking Dawn and dying, of which there are a handful.

And I don't mean in a good way!

NOW. I'd like to come back and preface this with the fact that my opinion on this aren't about to change, you'll just have to deal with that. You are all welcome to comment and tell me how wrong you think I am about all this, but I won't believe you. In fact, I will probably laugh. A lot. So do so at your own leisure, I won't be offended. And I'm not seeking to offend any of YOU either. I'm just trying to bring a bit of joy back to these books for you, yes? The joy of Bad Writing. It's good for the soul.

You. You all amuse me so much right now. Do you know why? Because I found Breaking Dawn to be by far the most entertaining read out of the 4.

Let's break this down. ExpandWell that took some space. )

And now we have
Breaking Dawn:
First off, why should we expect the writing to be any better than the previous three books? It wasn't. It was equally as bad. I don't think it's much of a spoiler now that Jacob gets a section, which I found both fun (new voice omg NOT BELLA?!) and a bit wrong because it broke her pattern, but hey! It's not like she's trying to write great literature here like the Aeneid which carefully imitated the old Greek epics or Inferno, where every line was structured into terza rima or even a modernist work that makes a point of consistently breaking patterns. Her choice, man. And she's not about to make good ones, given her past writing.

And the plot, oh the plot. It's just like a daytime soap, folks. Train wreck all over the place. it's a teenaged vampire romance, of course it's stupid, of course the whole thing is completely ludicrous and makes you want to vomit in your mouth because that's what teen romance is like. Look at any pop culture depiction of it! All those movies! Is it ever realistic, is it ever not completely vomit-worthy schmoop? NOPE! Maybe you can be fooled for a moment but basically all "teen romances" are the same. Happily ever after with the perfect guy. This one just happens to be a bit cold, bloodthisty and sparkly.

The point! My dear, dear twilighters, is to laugh. Yes! It is ludicrous! Yes! It feels like the characters are being assraped (because they are, but they really weren't that much of characters to begin with, any belief beyond that is purely a figment of your imagination) and yes, the plot and its devices may make you want to curl up and die and it may get REALLY, REALLY slow in the middle of book three (seriously, I was baffled), but carry on! Stop forcing yourselves and just enjoy it for the terror it truly is! It is an amazing terror of a train wreck of a book and I loved reading it for how often it made me laugh my ass off.

Or don't, because your vomiting amuses me too. As long as I don't have to smell it.

Okay then!

So it's been a few days since I updated, and I've finally come to the conclusion that I was, in fact, still drunk when I did so as less than two hours later I was attacked by the worst hangover of my life. I didn't empty my stomach again, but I felt like I should for the next two days. Trust me. Not an experience I intend to repeat. And I have a nice reminder of it on my wrist too as I discovered that I apparently burned myself with a cigarette at some point. It took some asking for me to find someone who remembered me doing it, because I sure as hell don't. But it's there clear as day--burn mark just to the hand-side of my wrist bone. Whoops!

So I stayed in Statesboro until Friday and drove home after it got dark. Let me tell you, I cannot even DESCRIBE how much more bearable that was. You all heard my whining about how I was going to die on the way down. People are not meant to be in shiny metal cars with no AC when the temperature is a solid 100+ degrees out. I don't want to know the heat index. *shudder* Driving home was in the 80's. SO MUCH BETTER. And the hangover was gone. Which also made life better.

But then, oh then! I woke up on Saturday morning to the CRAMPS from hell! Woe is me, the world hates my abdominal muscles this week! And that part wasn't even my fault! It's just the joy of being utterly female. So I am finally entirely UN-queasy and UN-cramped today for the first time since, oh. A week ago. Huzzah.

So I went out job hunting! Right now I'll be content with JUST ABOUT ANYTHING. I even tried for the liquor store. Which wasn't hiring but hey, I tried. I think I've got a good shot at some restaurant work though, which would be fun. I bet I could get good tips! I am very bright and cheerful. Usually. As long as I don't actually KNOW you. If I know you I feel that I have free reign to make fun of you for weeks.

One good thing that came of Saturday and the Cramps of Death, however, is that while having a girly chocolate movie night with my mom, she brought down this blanket that was MEANT to be mine months ago but was stolen by my sister who now decided she doesn't want it.

It is huge. It is fluffy. It is like a million teddy bears have been sacrificed and skinned to provide me with the most comfortable blanket in the world. Really, not a wise thing to give me if ou want me to get out of bed ever. O! how it is comfortable. It's like a series of teddy bears puked up all that is good and right in the world just for my immense comfort. And O! how I love it. And O! how jealous you all should be.

And on a final note which still embarrasses me a bit: I read and enjoyed all the Twilight books last week. They're strangely addictive and yes, I am horrified at myself that I put down m Joyce to read those instead. And yet, I cannot be unhappy about it because it was fun. And everyone I hold dear IRL has simultaneously decided to become obsessed with them so it's like, my life is full of Twilight and I don't even NEED fandom. Which is fun.

Oh wait! That is not my final note! I have been reading Harry Potter fanfiction like it's going out of style for OVER A MONTH NOW and I simply MUST give you ALL my opinion on the final Big Bang.

It is huge. It is fantastic. And nothing can ever, EVER measure up to Creevey at Large. It is the best thing ever. Ever ever ever. Dennis Creevey is my new homeboy. He is amazing. And MOON! CLOWNS. MOON. OH GOD! If you even have a passing interesting in Harry/Draco fanfic and love really big really creative really FUNNY fanfictions, READ IT NOW. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!!

Okay. I'm done now.

I should do this more often to SAVE YOU FROM THE HUGEEEE.

Or I'm not. NEED MORE ONE PIECE. NEED MORE FAIRY TAIL. COME ON. GAAAAAAAAAAAH! *panic circles!*

DONE. SERIOUSLY. SHUTTING THE HELL UP....

NOW!

[sorry]
