Yeah, I guess I was just really bored and had never read posts in this thread before...
Ugh,
SPOILERS ahead! If you haven't read all 4 books, you might want to not read my post!
I read part of the first book back in 2008, and really enjoyed it, although I wasn't able to finish (it was borrowed). But, then I saw the movie a few months back, and then read all the books rediculously quickly- they are really addictive. Now I'm a fangirl. I even have an Edward & Bella t-shirt that I wear to bed.

I agree. I love Jacob. I do like Edward very much, but if I were Bella, I would've stayed with Jacob after Edward came back...I mean, he left her, she could've died...I love how Jacob is...I don't know, so loyal, so sweet.

. Besides you don't pick who you fall in love with.
I didn't know that "all those people" liked Jacob more.
I don't think that Edward is uncool, but I like how Jacob is so normal, so laid back (obviously not counting the werewolf thing.
). But, your second point is a good one- you can't help who you fall in love with. Had Edward not come back, I can see Bella learning to fall in love with Jacob, more than she had, I mean.

OMG...OMG...OMG! Seriously?!?! While I was reading the books, Bobby's uncle (hey, he reads a lot
) said that that was his favorite book, and when I was reading it, I could see why. It is SO action-packed, edge-of-your-seat. I already knew about Renesmee (um, thanks to you, Dan...saying that Anya and Xander dated SO doesn't equal saying that Bella and Edward had a kid. But, I mean, it didn't ruin the experience for me, but still...
), but I didn'tknow how everything was going to be played out and how it was going to end. Going back to Jacob- I'm glad that it all worked out for him with Bella (because of Renesmee)- I like that he doesn't have to be sad about her loving Edward.

I think that R.Patz is hot as Edward, but in real life, he's just so scruffy...occasionally I'll find him attractive, but not usually. And he's so not my type of person, anyway, it seems.
PeterPanfan wrote:(Alice Cullen) - My favorite Cullen! I loved her, and really wished she was in more scenes.
I adore Alice...I want to be friends with her! She's just so gosh-darn likable.

Because it's romantic! I sop up sap like this...we (meaning teenage girls and myself, since I'm not one anymore
) just kind of like to live vicariously through characters like Bella...their lives are more exciting and romantic than our own!

Because Taylor Lautner didn't have long hair, and he needed long hair due to him cutting it in
New Moon!
Disney Duster wrote:My main gripes was Bella being a nobody who has no life or excitement until she meets a boy. Oh wait he's a vampire even more exciting, so what she can't feel happy until she meets some impossible dream creature? And she's ordinary and boring, and weak, but especially compared to this vampire boy. A beautiful, smart, strong, super vampire who's perfect and better than her in every way. Sometimes I thought the relationship was downright disgusting, especially when I thought how easily he could kill her and indeed, had the desire to kill her.
As a self-proclaimed boring person, I can relate to that aspect of Bella.
I mean, Edward facinates her in the beginning, and they get to know each other...I mean, she can't help and he can't help that he brings excitement into her life! And Edward can't help how he feels; I mean, he'd rather have not had the feelings he had for Bella, since it was very dangerous, but she also couldn't help how she felt and she just couldn't not be with him.

That was great!
This was really funny, IMO:

And about the "greatest vampire movie ever" thing (from page 4- about Lauren Bacall): I don't like
Twilght because of the vampires...I don't really care about vampire movies besides this...I like it for the romance and action, and I bet that a lot of the fans probably feel the same way; were they aliens or mummies, we'd probably still like the series!
omg...hahaha.
That comic strip, Mooky- I just right-click-saved that...so funny!
