I was so tired and fuzzy last night that I re-read part of Eclipse while taking a bath last night. Because snickering and rolling my eyes makes me feel better, or something.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
There's no shame in that, Jilli!
And I know -- I KNOW -- that if I were 13, I would eat these books up with a spoon and ask for more.
But then, I thought Jondalar was HAWT, too.

I was with a group of friends a few weeks ago who were talking about the Twilight books and movies. I mentioned how funny I found them, and I think my friends were offended. Oops.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think that, even at 13, I would have stopped liking Edward after that scene at the end of New Moon where Bella tries to walk over to Jacob and Edward grabs her and won't let her.

Actually, now that I think about it, I'm not so sure about that. At 13, I loved Rhett Butler, and there are a few similar scenes there.

I still love Rhett Butler, despite the rapeyness of the carry-Scarlett-up-the-staircase scene.
Hey, I own my contradictions.

Because books.

God, me too. But I do know that when I was younger, the scene that fascinated me was the morning after scene, trying to figure out what all those different expressions on her face could mean.

I didn't see the movie until I was about 15 or 16. But I read the book at 12.

The wow-I-just-had-a-good-fucking scene?
(Which pisses me off more, because it tries to undercut the rapeyness by saying, "No, see, she ended up LIKING it, so it wasn't rape!")
Grumble.
