At times like this, i feel like I'm the one sane person in the world. I cannot, for the life of me, see why twilight is so popular. Everything in it has been done to death (besides the lame 'Sparkly Vampires') a million times before in much better ways. I am almost pulling my hair out at how god-damn popular it is! Its like a disease! One of my friends started 'reading' it to impress a girl, and now he's obsessed with it, and he's starting to turn more people.

Earlier today my sister brought home the DVD of the movie, and turned by brother and my mother. I even think I saw one of the cats looking at the screen.

Maybe I'm overreacting, but still... I used to be indifferent to the whole thing, and really I guess its the fans I cant stand, and their idiocy has made me scorn almost everything even mentioning vampires, let alone Twilight.

I think you should join Beflexor's club. She's apparently read the novels that the movies were based, and she absolutely despised them.

It may not be immediate, and often your greater dreams is something you will not achieve within your own lifetime. The effort you put forth to anything transcends yourself, for there is no futility even in death."

Yes! Yes! Yeeeeees! Hahahahaha!

Welcome to the fold my friend, we are few and far between. Working Underground, but soon, oh so soon, we shall have our Day of Reckoning.

Jeezum H. Crumb Turkey, it warms my heart to read people openly admiting their hate. I could honestly kiss you. Seriously. I wrote a review of the books (actually angry enough to drop an F bomb or two in it). There's so many links I could give you to show you are not alone.

I mean, augh! I live in the same area that retard author went to collage! If you want bad, and I mean baaaaad fans, come drop by here.

My favorite site is Twilight Sucks: http://www.twilightsucks.com/ I found it by accident once. I got really mad when I was typing something in Google and it assumed I wanted Edward Cullen so I just typed "twilight sucks" and AH! relief!

Oh, and because comics amuse me:

Excellent! I dont feel like the one sane guy in a crapsack world anymore. Those links have made my day, especially the comics and finding out Stephen king dislikes Twilight too.

Heh, more Twilight haters. Truth be told, I have never read the books, nor watched the movie, and honestly? Don't plan to. My reasoning: Sparkling vampires. Enough said.

Well, that, and my best friend from high school popped on AIM telling me that he saw it and actually rather enjoyed it. Now, my friend and I have a complex relation, but let's just say this: the fact that he enjoyed is enough to scare me away for a good long while.

Ugh... Twilight.

It needs to burn. Really. I'm not a believer in burning books, but this is an exception.

i hate twilight as well. I read a qoute maybe from here that said the auther in no J.K. rowling. Nor is the twilight author. The plot sucked, vampires kill humans, and do not sparkle, but burn and i mean burn in the sun. Twilight you can burn in h*** whith some real vmpires, and we need the real vamps to take down the twilight saga.

First of all, let me open by saying that this is truly a rant in every sense of the word, and not simply a quick complaint. It's gonna be long. Secondly, this rant has a happy ending.

So, yesterday at our restaurant we had a Charity Night, which we do periodically. How this works is your organization (school, church, club, whatever) signs up for a particular night then passes out flyers for the event. Anyone who comes in that day and hands in a flyer, we'll donate 100% of their check to the organization. Now normally, these events don't really draw much. The exception is the elementary schools... they draw massive numbers. Believe me, soccer moms have unparalleled organizational skills.

So, here we are, Charity Night, and the house is busting at the seams. I was working the lounge (bar area), which gets crowded to begin with, so my ass is overwhelmed. BTW, I should mention that I had worked the lunch shift prior to this, after having been promised by a coworker that he would cover for me only to have him back out because he popped a bunch of Xanax the night before and was too fucked up to get out of bed let alone work, so I'm already in a very fragile state at this point.

Now, the hostess who was working that night is this little 16-year old bimbo whom I honestly believe is destined for internet porn in just a few years. Oh, and she really, really sucks at her job. She's rude to guests, she yells at servers, and she won't seat tables towards the back of the restaurant because she doesn't want to walk that far. And she completely ignores the rotation, meaning that she'll overwhelm one server with customers while another has an empty section. Yeah... we had her working on one of the busiest nights of the year, so it was chaos at the door, and I'm getting sat with customers faster than I can keep up. Somehow, I managed not only to keep up, but to give good service. Still, I must stress again, very fragile on the inside while trying my best to keep a cool exterior.

And that's not even mentioning all the goddamn children running around.

On top of all that, yet another incident clawing at my composure. This lady asked for no pico de gallo on her salad... a salad that doesn't come with pico de gallo to begin with, and none was on there when I served it, as it should have been. Well, she left me this nasty note on the table when she left about how there was pico on her salad and how when someone says they're allergic that means they don't want that item, plus no tip. THERE WAS NO FUCKING PICO DE GALLO ON YOUR SALAD YOU STUPID BITCH! I KNOW CAUSE I CHECKED! AND IF THERE WAS, YOU SHOULD HAVE FUCKING TOLD ME ABOUT IT ONE OF THE MANY TIMES I STOPPED BY YOUR FUCKING TABLE TO REFILL YOUR FUCKING DRINK AND I COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

(And it's not my fault if you're too fucking white to know the difference between pico de gallo and cilantro)

Anyway... not all of the tables were that awful. In fact, my favorite regulars came that night. And, when it was all said and done, I made a lot of money. but, it was an exasperating night. And a long one, because people kept showing up even ten minutes before closing, which only kept me there longer. So with all of this stacked up, by the time I clocked out for the night, I was ready to hurt somebody.

So after cooling down with some friends for a while, I'm on my way home, and it's a long drive, and I'm craving a blackberry shake from Jack in the Box. I'll settle for any shake, really, but that's the one I want. Unfortunately, it's past 2 in the morning, and most places are closed, and there isn't even a Jack in the Box on the way home. There is a Whataburger, however (Texas/southwestern chain), and they're 24 hours, so I pull into the drive thru and order a shake. The girl tells me they're out. Fine, no big deal, I'll just go out of my way a bit to Jack's and get a shake there, which was where I wanted it from to begin with. Well, I get to Jack's, order my shake, and this girl tells me she can't because it's already late and she's cleaning out the shake machine.

Now I'm just completely crestfallen. I've been working since noon (with a break), I just came off a shift that was all kinds of exhausting and frustrating. All I want is a goddamn milkshake, but now I've gone to two places, just about the only two places open this time of night, and I get screwed both times. So fine, I said. I ordered something off the value menu and pulled up to the window. I pay for my food, tell the girl I had a long, rough day and all I want is a shake and I came all the way from Whataburger and they didn't have any either and I probably look like I'm about to cry. She says sorry, but they've gotta clean out the machine this late. Okay, I say, I understand, I work in a restaurant, I know how it goes. So I pay, and I'm sitting in the car there for a few minutes while I wait for my food, and I happen to glance into the window...

The girl was making me a milkshake.

I couldn't believe it. And I'm not ashamed to say I just about teared up at that point. She made my night. I know it seems like such a little thing, but I couldn't have been happier. And she didn't charge me for it either, although if she'd said it cost ten bucks I'd have gladly forked it over. I didn't even care what flavor it was (Oreo, BTW, and it was delicious). Just the fact that she was going out of her way to fix me a shake and make a total stranger happy was enough.

Nicole, if you're out there, you rock in more ways than I can even count.

Right then. I recently managed to get my hands on the Fallout collection, and I'm having a blast with Fallout 2. Fallout 1 was great but i felt rushed because of the time limit. Anyway, I tried playing Fallout 2 before, and couldn't get into it. Now, I think its amazing. Definitely ranks high in my list, up there with Deus ex and the like. But thats not what this rants about.

This rant is about how Bethesda royally fucked up the whole franchise. The funny thing is, I used to think Fallout 3 was great, and I probably would still like it, if it weren't for reading about Van Buren. It sounded apsolutely epic, with a complex storyline and everything. Much better than whatever Bethesda could come up with. Instead we get a rehash of the second game with Liam Neeson and a Water Purifier thrown in.

There is a bit of hope though, apparantly Bethesda has all the Van Buren documents and whatever, and seeing as they cant come up with an original idea, they'll just make a first person Van Buren.
