Jeez, miss the joke much? If anyone needs to lighten up here, 'tis you.

Maybe it's just overkill from the Twilight bashers...

It's making me defensive.

*shrug*

I'm really more of a Jackson fan than a Twilight fan anyway...

So, like the actors more than the actual story?! As if .
I actually like the book, I could care less about the actors that actually made half people like Twilight in the first place.

Well of course I like the books, silly! I read them before the movies came out, after all! But I do admit that they're not fantastic literature. Doesn't make me like them any less though.

But Jackson is pretty awesome...

I agree, I've read better books, but then I became so enticed with it, I read them all in less than a week! So, I dont know if I could say that...

I still argue with EVERYONE that Twilight has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING on Harry Potter

I agree. Harry Potter is way better. Twilights isn't that good. It's mostly fun to talk about it with you guys and do the RP and stuff.

Agreed!

I like looking into the things that Stephenie didn't explore.

I haven't read past book 2. That's my argument.

Meaning, I don't have an argument.

Breaking Dawn has its moments. There are certain things I really like about it. Other things about it, though...*twitch*

*Raises Hand* I'm Esme. As soon as I get my account activated

The books I think are a ton of fun. They're a great way to escape the worries of real life. I'm of the same opinion with the movie

Yay! I will try to get it activated when I get home tonight. We know next to nothing about Carlisle and Esme so it will be fun to play out that dynamic.

Oh, and I'm Jasoer, too. My favorite character!
