Thinking Jaywise #442Status: Annoyed.

Current Past Time: Downloading drivers for my computer... and screaming
Ok, you know how the goth kids from South Park cringe at the thought of being associated with Hot Topic fads and Marilyn Manson?
Well, their reaction to slander is more or less my reaction when some waste of human space asks me about Twilight.
Honestly, it's bad enough having people reel back in shock when I say I hate Buffy with a passion and would rather sit through a year's viewing of Neighbours reruns than watch a single episode of teeny-bopping vampire slayer trash. Now, thanks to Twilight saturating the market, Supre is sporting shirts with the phrase, "I kissed a vampire and I liked it" and I find myself grinding my teeth when a life-size Barbie airhead claims Stephanie Meyer should be filed under classic gothic literature.
To make things even more patronising, I'm considered the uncouth freak in need of a culture update for being one of the rare few who actually realise Stephanie Meyer and her teenage vampire series is a load of 15 year old Degrassi bullshit. And for failing to understand what is so attractive and appealing about Edward Cullen. If anything, to me he comes off as a spoilt rich kid who tries to play the bad boy way too hard and who seriously needs to have that melodramatic scowl bitch-slapped off his face. (So, more or less like an immortal male version of Paris Hilton, really. Charming.)
So here it is for the record:
No, I have not watched Twilight.
No, I have not read Twilight.
No, I have no intention of exposing myself to the fanged sewerage that is Twilight. Ever.
And no, Edward is not hot.
Thank you and good night.
