So I know I'm a bit late on the whole craze, but I finished the book Twilight last week and watched the movie a few days ago.


I liked it and I didn't like it. Both the movie AND the book. I wish that Stephenie Meyer didn't make Bella so helpless and INSANEly in love with Edward in like, two seconds. There was no building of the relationship, really, and you turn the page and they suddenly love each other and are soulmates.

It's kind of sad, in a way.

Other than that, I liked it.

It comes out on DVD on Saturday and we're open until 1am on Friday for the release. So many tweens are going to be there. It's going to be chaotic.

Stephenie Meyer needs to give Bella a mind of her own.

My best friend in college is Bryan. He and I are very catty and like to bitch about things.


however, I continually getting in "trouble" with him for not calling him every night.


For one thing, he's back home and with his boyfriend, and he shouldn't be bored; and another thing, I'm a little depressed lately and hey, sometimes I just don't want to call people.

yet I'm a horrible friend if I don't. I don't understand this. It hurts my feelings that I'm apparently always doing something wrong.

I know that 20 is really just a tease before 21, but it's still epic. No longer a teenager!

Yay?
