Fourth, true love exists you just need to have faith in it. Fifth, (i promise this list ends eventually) the only reason they stalk each other is because they love each other and can't face it at first. And lastly HOW WOULD YOU LIKE HAVING THE PRESSURE OF WRITING A BIG BOOK LIKE TWILIGHT KNOWING ONE MISTAKE CAN MAKE JERKS LIKE YOU HATE IT!!! THATS A LOT OF PRESSURE ON YOUR SHOULDERS OF COURSE THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME SORT OF MISTAKE IN THE BOOK!!!! YOU MOST BE A HARRY POTTER LOVER!!! EITHER THAT OR A BOY!!! *catches breath*"

ME: okay so i'm a boy just cus i hate sparkly FAIRYS!(thats my personall thought on this comment that i posted here.)

and then one of my DA friends says:
"Twilight sucks."
And THEN trevor4056 says:
"You know what sucks more? Random people who think they're cool when they put down other peoples interests or favorites. Feel better now that you said that?"
MY friend says: "Yes."
trevor4056 says:Good for you.
My friend says:Yes, yes indeed it's good for me.
trevor4056 says: So would you be classified as a Stephenie Meyer or an Edward?
My friend says: I happen to be both.
trevor4056 says:Good to know. Good luck dying alone.
My friend says: have a boyfriend, we've been together for six months. Who said anything about dying alone?
trevor4056 says:Has he got in your pants yet?

Guess who's the Edward in this encounter?

no, no no i didn't say anyting at all. it was my friend that did.(if you don't belive me then go brows the persons page i said absoulutly nothing.)

SHE said this on here own accord. i didn't tell her to do it at all. i just was browsing the page and noticed the comments.

i just went to post my opinion on here sorry.

honestly i didn't say anything on this persons page at all.


so sorry i didn't mean to be harsh or anything.

my apologies.

Hope this is the right area.

A conversation that happened about a year ago during a Twilight rant with a friend, even then, it wreaked with stupidity. It went something like this...

Twilight Fan: The Cullens aren't carnivores, they're vegetarians.
Me: *Name which I will not say*, the sparklepires feed off of animals. By definition, an animal that eats another animal is a carnivore.
Twilight Fan: No, carnivores are people who eat humans.
Me: No, that's a cannibal. An animal that eats one of it's own species.
Twilight Fan: But the Cullens are vampires, not humans.

The argument went on and on until we reached the peak of stupidity...

Twilight Fan: But Humans aren't animals!
Me: We are. We're in the Kingdom Animalia. We are Primates.
Twilight Fan: No we're not, we're humans.
Me: But humans are only a species...

This part of the discussion went on for a longer time so I had to go up to one of the websites on Biology and show her, even then she said "anyone can edit those".

God, she must have bombed biology big time (or might wanna be those Christians that does believe we came from monkeys )

In all honesty, I really think Twilight ate away at her brain cells. Well, then again, she always was an airhead(But who am I to judge). And she was still pissed about this debate even next year, the beginning of my junior year. She was talking about how she was going to get her boyfriend from facebook to beat the crap out of me, a guy who she'd never met before, and was planning on meeting.

But later in the year, she finally realized how dumb twilight was and joined the other twilight haters at our table.

From Youtube comments: I would write my responses to these but I need some sleep. So I'll underline the uh..."WTF-ness" parts.

andicoptanki:
"That was not why Twilight was popular. The book is written well. I like the love story between all the characters. It kinda reminds me of romeo and juliet. Jacob cant be with Bella. She does discribe Edward with lots of detail but she doesnt discribe him like what you said. edward isnt even that perfect."

uberfrozenglow:
"oh! this comments... people take everything so serious... i like twilight and i like this bcs is so true. i'm not obsess with loving or hating twilight is just good entertaining. of course i thing that the success is also bcs of the movie, they were smart at choosing the cast, good soundtracks and good photography, all together makes... entertaining. chill out people"

Summer1993Love:
"Oh, such sturgeon.
Twilight is amazing.
If you diss on it, you have to diss on just about every book that has to do with romance. So, good luck with that."

It's funny because these comments were posted at around 3 a.m (on the same day).

To quote my introduction post...

"I bet you don't like Twilight because it has sex. I bet I know way more about sex than you do."

(A virgin said this to me when I was three months pregnant.)

"Twilight is way better than the stuff you like. At least the main characters are older!"

(Because physical age has everything to do with maturity, and young adult main characters automatically make plots and writing GREAT! Didn't you know that?)

I've also gotten the "You Must Be A Harry Pothead Fan" response, something that has become far too much of a clichéd retort.

This may be slightly off topic, but it really bothers me when Twilight fans compare Bella and Jacob/Edward to Romeo and Juliet. I'm a theatre major, and R&J isn't studied like a romance, but rather a tragedy. In fact, Romeo and Juliet were both (in my opinion anyway but many others share this) are to be pitied and looked down upon as two stupid kids that were reckless and paid the consequences. It's really not romantic at all, imo. Of course, I'm not a particular fan of R&J, I much prefer Othello, the Scottish Play, or Hamlet (feel free to insert emo/angst joke there).

I really just can't understand people that argue it's well-written. It took me several tries to get through the first book alone, it was so cheesy and poorly thought-out. I mean, I've read trashy, "romance" novels that had more wit and character-development, not to mention a better use of grammer. Sheesh.

(regarding Jacob and Renesmee)

It's not weird! What people do in bed is their own business!

*facepalm*

English teacher:What are you reading
Me: Sense and Sensibility by Jane Ausetn
English Teacher: She is a horrible author! (takes my book away) Here (hands me Twilight) THIS is good literature! Read this!
Me: I already read this and I hated it.
English teacher: HOW DARE YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT ABOUT MS. MEYERES WORK! GO IN THE HALLWAY AND READ OUT THERE FOR THE HOUR!
Me: Well can I have my book back?
English teacher: NO! YOUR READING TWILIGHT AND THEN COMING BACK IN AND EXPLAINING TO THE CLASS HOW GREAT IT IS AND WHY YOU RECOMMEND IT!
Me: I will do no such thing
English teacher: Fine then go to the office!

*headwall* Oh dear God... I think I need to lie down with my stuffed sheep, eat some popcorn, and read Pride and Prejudice again. My little remaining faith in humanity has been completely shattered.
This has been said before, but S/HE'S AN ENGLISH TEACHER?!! AAAGH! /capsrape
EDIT: This might be fake, as lizdarcy13 and Lady phoenix do have a point: English teachers, as a rule, do not snatch away copies of Jane Austen books. This might be a fail-tastic substitute.

No English teacher worth their salt would ever really hate on Jane Austen. If anything, they would probably have one of her novels as part of the curriculum. I know mine did.

I'm calling sturgeon on this one.

Unless the teacher is crappy or a substitute, there is no WAY she would put down Jane Austin for Twishit... and then send kids to the office for not agreeing.

This year, in another English class (not mine), they did a unit on Twilight.

No, it wasn't a clever teaching example of what you shouldn't do in writing. The teacher was actually teaching it as literature.

My friend came into the cafeteria one day with a copy of the carp in her hands, which thoroughly confused me. She's pretty against the book. When I asked her why she had it with her, she told me that she was studying for her English test.

I though school was supposed to make you smarter.

Seriously, Twilight? This curriculum has books such as To Kill a Mockingbird, Lord of the Flies, The Odyssey, Fahrenheit 451, etc. etc. No, I don't like all of the books that are taught, but I agree that they're books that should be taught in an Accelerated Freshman English class. But honestly, Twilight?

Has there been any other instance of recently released books being on school curriculum? Even something like Harry Potter?

Vampire Kites wrote:Has there been any other instance of recently released books being on school curriculum? Even something like Harry Potter?

Not that I've ever seen. Teachers almost seem to view it as "taboo."

I guess not anymore >.>

harry potter would have been miles better than the Twifail series anyday!

Quotes from me are in italics. It was on facebook, and I deleted some of my comments. I was just angry.

WARNING: Does kind of go off onto a tangent.

Anonymous girl: twilight ♥
Me: *scoffs*
Anonymous girl: everyone lovess twilight
Me: I hate Twilight. Neither Edward Cullen nor Robert Pattinson will love you back because one's a fictional character, and the other is an actor who is only it it for the money. Furthermore, vampires are not supposed to sparkle
Anonymous girl: they are both ugly actually. and i think the story line is cool because it's different. but im team jacob. because wearwolfes ruleeee
Me: Jacob Black and Taylor Lautner follow the same lines, and werewolves are only supposed to change involuntarily during the full moon
Anonymous girl: uhm, not in twilight they're not. they can be werewolves whenever they want. and either way they're both fictional. and when did i ever say i wanted him to love me? hahaha i say your jealous because alot more girls love twilight more than they will love youu so stop trying to prove everyone wrong, geeez.
Me: [Dracula and the Wolfman are better examples of vampire and werewolf fiction and I'm pretty sure more people like that
Anonymous girl: im pretty sure alot more people like twilight better than the original stories of vampires and werewolves. besides the first movie is carp. watch the second one.
Me: I couldn't get halfway through the first movie, why would I want to come back for seconds?
Anonymous girl: hahahaha! this is prancing funny!! if you hate it so much why did you even see the first one? haha just give up. oh and i think you meant to say more people like entertaining films other than boring carp like the original vampire and werewolf movies.
Me: Watch Hard Candy it's a better movie from the director of Eclipse.
Anonymous girl: i'd rather not. unlike you i like interesting movies.
Me: Oh. And I suppose you think that movies like Fight Club, Donnie Darko, and Pan's Labyrinth aren't interesting either.
Anonymous girl: never seen them. probably because they didn't get very popular. so they're yeah they're probs shiiit.
Me: POPULARITY IS NOT EQUAL TO QUALITY, YOU MORON!!! YOU REALLY ARE A prancing IDIOT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU THINK TWILIGHT IS QUALITY FILM AND LITERATURE!!!
Anonymous girl: hahahahahahaha geeez calm down. sorry me and the whole world have taste
Me: Actually, the films I mentioned have somewhat of a cult following. That is popularity, just not on a global basis.
Anonymous girl: so in other words no its not popular. its what you call popular. two very different things
Me: People who only like popular films are incapable of deciding for themselves. Commercial success and popularity is not equivalent to quality. If something isn't well known, but sounds interesting to you, then check it out. Take for example, Mary & Max. I know practically nobody who's even heard of the film. But when I heard about it, I thought "That sounds like a good movie", so I saw it. And I loved it. But when something has an official hatedom, that's a good reason to avoid it. Like Battlefield Earth or the Garbage Pail Kids Movie.
Anonymous girl: i dont watch them movies because i've never heard of them? so how an i supposed to check them out? id rather just watch movies that i know are good
Me: No, my point is to check out films that sound interesting to you. Don't just jump on bandwagons, think for yourself. And by the way, you won't know whether you will like or dislike a film unless you take the time to watch it.
Anonymous girl: true fact, but i dont really know any movies that aren't popular anyways? lol

... I think you kinda started a fight so... yeah.

Well, like Phoenix said, you kinda did start a fight. On the other hand, that girl sounds like an annoying Stephenie Meyer...

Wow, that's a lot of canned responses.

Let's can all of the Twitlight fanbrats!

Me: Edward's an abusive jerk.
Twi fan: No, he's not!!!!!
Me: He pushed Bella into a glass table. She needed stitches.
Twi fan: He did it to protect her!!!!
Me: He abandoned her in a forest. He broke things and screamed at her.
Twi fan: That's not abuse.
Me: It's not PHYSICAL abuse, but it's EMOTIONAL abuse.
Twi fan: Emotional abuse is LOVE.
Me:
