So yeah, I jumped on that band wagon and I'm not proud. I get why people like it but I don't get why they love it. It wasn't the most rewarding literary experience I've ever had but it was entertaining. I am team Jacob, I guess. Edward is such a nerdy old man. And what is with the khaki skirt? What teenage girl wears a khaki skirt? I have never seen a cute khaki skirt in my life. It was distracting. Remember when Carrie Bradshaw made fun of Berger's character in his novel that ran all over NYC in a scrunchie? I feel the same way about Bella and her khaki skirt.Monday, January 21, 2008
I read it, so sue me

Hi sister. Maybe some people like khaki skirts. But now they are probably offended and may not be reading your blog anymore. :)
I love you and I miss you. Blog Blog Blog.
i read this and thought it was great!
In regards to this assertion,

Quote:
Stephenie Meyer has created a male character who embodies just about everything that makes girls swoon. I mean, not only is Edward unbelievably gorgeous, he's also fabulously wealthy, wonderfully attentive, kind, and romantic. Plus, he was born in 1901, meaning he has the manners and vocabulary of a more refined age, and has had decades to learn and develop his talents.

I thought I'd share my brother's opinion (who has, in fact read a book in the series, unlike myself):

Quote:
The reason why Edward has become such a romantic figure is because he acts like a girl. There, I said it.

I was privy to a conversation describing some of Edward's actions (i.e. being happy to hold Bella as she weeps over her love for another man) and I quickly concluded that Edward had no basis in any actual real human male.
AMEN!
