My Random Rant on Twilight

Okay, so believe it or not, this post isn't gonna be about me hurting myself!

It's about me almost hurting someone else.

Ya see, if I don't vent about how much I hate Twilight, one day I might just snap and punch somebody.

Let's get started!

"What would I do without Edward?"
"I need him like air to breathe!"
"Who needs friends that don't want to eat you?!"

Now what vampire-loving, catch-22 obsessed albino do I sound like?

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know how popular the Twilight series has become. Over 17 million copies of the first book have been sold in the U.S., and 42 million worldwide.

Now what makes this series so popular, you ask? Well, I've narrowed it down to three options:

1. It's an easy read.
2. Everybody wants to see what the big deal is about.
3. Desperate people enjoy reading about how "flawless," "perfect," and "sparkly" Edward is.

Frankly, I think everybody is getting WAY too obsessed over Twilight. When I see "I Heart Sparkly Guys" t-shirts in the hallway, it makes me wonder what people did BEFORE Twilight came out.

I'd like to just point that I have nothing against Washingtonians or Stephenie Meyer. In fact, I congratulate her on the success of her novels. AS for the Washingtonians... congratulations, your tourism income probably has increased by 50% since Twilight came out.

Speaking of which, I wonder what life has been like for the people who live in the real Forks, Washington. Do they have a sign as you're entering the town that says, "Welcome to Forks, home of the Cullens?" or "Forks, WA- where the largest newborn vampire showdown took place?"

And is the ballet studio in Pheonix where Bella let herself get beat up now a national landmark?

Anyways, the point I'm trying to make with this article is that TWILIGHT IS NOT REAL. I'll say that again. VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES DO NOT EXIST.

Sorry if I disappointed you.

P.S. I miss the good old days, when "twilight" meant the sun going down...
