over a year ago: 500 :)

over a year ago: Yeah, they probably were :) Here's the book, if anyone really wants to buy it.

over a year ago: So I went to Chapters yesterday (not sure if you guys have Chapters in the US, it's basically like Barnes & Noble) and I made the mistake of wandering into the tween section. It is pretty much entirely devoted to Twilight. They even have books on the actors' experiences of playing the characters. Kristen Stewart's is called - brace yourselves - Kristen Stewart: Bella of the Ball! And yes, the exclamation mark is part of the title. It makes me weep.

over a year ago: This is kind of a tangent to the whole Twilight thing, but I hope it still kind of fits: I haven't been on Fanpop much for a while now, and I kind of missed the whole period where Twilight took over the 'Pop. So today I was just getting re-aquainted with everything, and I just noticed so many user spots - spots named after a specific user, where s/he posts all their own little content. I mean, I know there were a couple of fan appreciation spots before, but I've found at least a dozen spots that people create about themselves, and make their own little world. Most of the usernames are Twilight-related, which is why I'm mentioning it here. And just browsing through their stuff, it's mostly Twilight fanfiction and the users' favourite Youtube vids and stuff. So I guess my question is, how long has this been going on? I mean, isn't that what blogs are for? Livejournal and all that jazz? Somewhere that you can post all your favourite stuff, but it doesn't end up bothering people who don't want to look at it? I don't know, it just seems that Fanpop's lost that sense of community it had before. Most of the sane users must have gone into hiding or something :)

over a year ago: Hi! I'm Lina. I've been a Twilight hater since I first read the series a couple of years back. I have absolutely nothing against the rational fans/Twi-hards, it's the crazy squeely ones that get annoying after a bit :)

I actually went to go see the movie on opening weekend with my friends. I sat there and laughed through the entire thing (especially Edward's face during the blood-sucking scene at the end - you have to admit it was hilarious), and got death glares shot at me all throughout the movie from the hundreds of teeny-boppers that'd flocked to the theatres with their Jonas Brothers purses to see their beloved vampire sparkle. So, so fun. I highly recommend it once the next movie comes out. :)

Anywho, I love to read, and I was going through the Nicholas Sparks books one by one until I heard about his Miley Cyrus sellout (sorry to any Miley fans, I just really dislike her personally), so now I've switched to Sarah Dessen, who hasn't disappointed me yet :) And that's about it.

Oh, if I've offended anyone, I'm sorry. I can come off really mean on the Internet sometimes. :)

over a year ago: I'm really excited for this, too. I've gotten all my friends hooked on the preview :) I guess we'll see if it's as awesome as it looks tomorrow

over a year ago: That's good :) I'll wait to see if we get any more; if not, we'll put it to a vote :)
