How Twilight Works
A few weeks ago I had the miserable experience of reading Twilight. A friend bought it for me and I took it with me to read on a long flight from Seattle to Houston. I knew it was going to be crappy, but I thought it would be a guilty pleasure kind of crappy – where you know it’s bad but you still get enjoyment out of it. I actually managed to power through around 400 pages until I gave up and started reading Sky Mall. I’ve been seeing Twilight everywhere lately, especially with Vampire Teens II New Moon’s release, so I thought I’d break down why chicks go apeshit for it.
First off, the author creates a main character which is an empty shell. Her appearance isn’t described in detail; that way, any female can slip into it and easily fantasize about being this person. I read 400 pages of that book and barely had any idea of what the main character looked like; as far as I was concerned she was a giant Lego brick. Appearance aside, her personality is portrayed as insecure, fumbling, and awkward – a combination anyone who ever went through puberty can relate to. By creating this “empty shell,” the character becomes less of a person and more of something a female reader can put on and wear. Because I forgot her name (I think it was Barbara or Brando or something like that), I’m going to refer to her as “Pants” from here on out.
So after a few chapters of listening to Pants whine about high school, sucking at volleyball, and being the center of attention, the second major character is introduced. Imagine everything women want in a man, then exaggerate it by ten thousand – and you’ve got Edward Cullen. The level of detail that the author goes into while describing Edward’s appearance is remarkable. At one point while reading I started counting the number of times the author used the expression “Edward’s perfect face,” and it was far into the double digits. The author excruciatingly details his muscular pecs, clothing, hair, eye color – even his goddamn breath (I’m not joking).

by the way, i would have though “chagrin” would have made it in there somewhere!
Remember that old post I did a while back where I asked Rach if she thought Jacob and Bella would’ve had drunk sex? You know the post that had the internet going interNUTS? Well, Summit confirmed it. “I’m so sorry Edward it was when we were broken up” LMAO. (Good lookin Kris!)
As you all should know, ET will be releasing special footage in regards to New Moon and its cast tomorow. I saw this one sneak peak youtube clip of it and couldn’t help but squeal when I saw the part where Jacob is running full force in his shorts and cut off shirt, almost exactly how I had imagined it in the book! I’m Team Edward status , and I know this story concentrates on Bella and Jacob’s relationship more or less, but the emotions evoked in New Moon hit close to home so I am excited as shit (also nervous) for this movie to come out already!
