I can't believe I'm writing this about Twlight

Soooo...I didn't like the book and I still can't get over SPARKLY VAMPIRES IN HIGH SCHOOL being the core of the plot, but I have to admit that I will always have admiration for anyone who makes a living writing books.* And then gets a film complete with sparkly vampires made flesh. Sadly, if someone offered me vast sums of money to write dreck about something even more horrifically and inappropriately glittery, I would do so.

As for this as her fantasy, well, I find myself not caring. There are tons of books and characters out there that are clearly people's fantasies made text (James Bond for one, Harriet Vane and Peter Wimsey for another), so even if this isn't a fantasy that I share or even think is very good, I don't actually see it as that bizarre or feel like going on about how OMG ROBERT PATTISON SO HAS HER NUMBER.

*There are some exceptions, but beyond things that are written to be vile and hateful they're few and far between.

Obviously watching HL has ruined your brain. It's the "moves like cougars" that did it. Terminal brain damage.

HL's cracktasticness and brain breaking abilities are as nothing compared to Kdrama. I usually blame it all on 'Stairway to Heaven' a drama which featured: step-sibling love, evil stepmothers and stepsisters, eye cancer caused by car accidents, amnesia, and MORE. It is the acme of my dreadful TV viewing. AND I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. Come to think of it, the stepsister in that one had CRAZY EYES too.
