I'm sorry I am not an illogical girl.

One of my least favorite things is officially "Twilight Mania." This weekend I was invited to see the movie with my sisters and mother. Loving family outings like this, I happily accepted. 
My opinion on the book was not great. I watched a talk show that Stephanie Myers, the author, appeared on. After she and the hosts compared her to JK Rowling, I became incredibly anti-Twilight. While I did enjoy reading the book before at that moment I discovered a new found hatred. Her books lack in character development, and dialogue.  The stories aren't even comparable and the writing is like comparing a writer for a college newspaper to a writer for the New York Times. Ridiculous! 
Now the movies reinforce the belief that falling in love is the greatest thing and only thing worth happening in your life. People can survive without love and without the one they love. You will not die if they are gone. Plain and simple life moves on. Am I honestly suppose to believe that these seventeen year olds have an undying love? That is entirely based on her smell and his looks? Give me a break!  I hate that movie and I hate that book. I do not want to deal with teenage girls who think that is how life really is. 
I would now like to thank Stephanie Myers for reminding me why being a feminist is so great!
