Booze & YA Lit

[redbrunja]

Last night, I got drunk with a friend of mine and watched New Moon and Eclipse with the rifftrax on. Oh my god so terrible. So very, very terrible. There was much mocking of Bella and the make-up artists and Jasper's ridiculously terrible hair. That said:

a.) part of me really wished I was ten when these came out because if so, I would have been all over Jacob. Seriously, taking off his shirt to tenderly blot Bella's head wound? Bella and Jacob's whole shirtless in the rain convo? SHIRTLESS, RIPPED DUDE IN THE RAIN. I would have been on that shit like white on rice, instead of rolling my eyes that anyone would care about Bella. Find a gf with a personality, Jacob!

b.) watching the movie, I find it unfathomable that anyone could prefer Edward over Jacob. Like seriously?

c.) if someone had been taking shots every time I went 'jesus christ' in disgust, we likely would have had to take them to the hospital.

And rereading this, I think it is a damn good thing I wasn't ten when these books came out.

As a sort of comedy interlude between the movies, my friend and I also watch the Simpson's YA lit episode which was both hilarious and depressing.

On the subject of YA, I just got Divergent and Mastiff from the library, and while I'm looking forward to reading both of them, it is really awkward that both of those books are so big they can't fit in my purse. Awwwwwkward.

Oh thank God someone else with the good sense the realize that Jacob is always better then Edward. I mean Edward's pale and skinny and sparkles in the sunlight. WHAT EVEN IS THAT ABOUT?!
