Yeah. Um… I had an adrenaline rush. It’s very common. You can Google it. - Twilight
I saw Twilight again with my Mom and cousin (converted two additional fangirls hee!) and I have been reading some reviews. I had some more thoughts I wanted to jot down for viewers and the people who will see it soon when it’s released. Warning this is pretty damn long. Which I didn’t intend…
So I normally read reviews after I see a film just to see what the general response is after viewing. I mostly do it because things get pointed out to me that might not have been before so that’s always interesting. I like to read from my favorite bloggers, very positive people and I like to read the negatives to see why. It never affects my own decisions and I know it does not do good to debate it once people’s minds are made up (I mean seriously think about something you hate and someone tries to get you to like it, it almost never works) and let me state that I know everyone has their own opinions, and not everyone agrees so I’m not trying to disrespect anyone’s views but more or less just want to state my own and post in contrast to all these people whining about the “problems” and what would have made Twilight better and more of a hit with more audiences (but 70 million so suck on that, bitches - lmao).
So I was curious what the fans of the book think and overall I think it’s been positive. And of course there are those who hate it or it didn’t live up to months of hype (which I get that more than anything, I mean when you hype something for so long it’s hard for it to live up to it. But it did for me.) But with the people who didn’t like it I’m annoyed by their reasons.

“Last night, there was a whole rally that I saw for Prop. 8. A lot of people came out with their signs, and I think [Prop. 8] is discrimination and I don’t understand how people can be so closed-minded and so judgmental. We chose an African-American president, and it means so much … [it's] a time in history of great change and open-mindedness. Why is this any different? It just doesn’t make sense to me. Why you would put so much money behind something [aimed at] stopping from people loving each other and bonding together? I just don’t understand it. It’s hard for me to grasp. But I would’ve been out there with my rally sign as well.” - Christina Aguilera
“Okay. So Prop 8 passed. Alright, I get it. 51% of you think that I am a second class citizen. Alright then. So my wife, uh I mean, roommate? Girlfriend? Special lady friend? You are gonna have to help me here because I am not sure what to call her now. Anyways, she and I are not allowed the same right under the state constitution as any other citizen. Okay, so I am taking that to mean I do not have to pay my state taxes because I am not a full citizen…” - Melissa Etheridge

Can’t put it off another day

Time has come today
I have no place to stay (Hey)
Today was supposed to be a great day of change one thought. But now we’ve taken one step forward and a giant leap back, first the Grey’s issue I wrote about and now this…
This is really saddening and disgusting to me. :(
Callie: Take off your pants.
Erica: Excuse me?
Callie: Take off your pants. We’re trying this again. - Grey’s Anatomy
Edit by R: Here are some things you can do if you wish to support Brooke Smith and the character/storyline.

Gosh! Just when Grey’s was truly making a turn around and become good again - okay, I’ll admit, I’m a big fan of the whole series, so I don’t entirely hate everything but the seasons have been slowly declining since the amazing season 2.
So here is the news, Dr. Haun aka Brooke Smith (yes, that “put the lotion in the basket girl” from Silence of the Lambs) is being totally fucked over big time. This Thursday’s episode of Grey’s is her last. WTF?!
EW says this was not creator Shonda Rhimes’ decision but rather an order that came down from the network. The ABC executives reportedly “had issues” with both the explicit direction Hahn’s relationship with Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) was taking and with the Hahn character in general.
I’m a huge fan of her character, Brooke is super funny and witty in general too - and yes I’m a massive Callica shipper (but I’ll admit, I’m more a shipper for Mark & Callie all together). But I’m truly pissed off by this piece of news - first they had the nerve to up and boot her character which has been a big light on the show for me (adored her season 2 episode fans will recall, so was ecstatic she was a recurring cast member) and now only is she gone, but will she not get a proper goodbye, but what makes me most angry with this is apparently they knew about this since let go since mid September and couldn’t make a real send off. And why couldn’t they just go and do a re-write before even entering this relationship if ABC didn’t like it? Hello it is a TV Show and re-writes happen often, I mean remember when a cast member up and offed another co-star for being openly gay and that drama and how the plug wasn’t yanked instantly… could we not have tried it and then ultimately write out Dr. Haun? Why do you have to go and pull the plug LIKE THAT? Honestly it would have took one little episode to give Dr. Haun a proper goodbye, it go something like this: Erika realizes she is a lesbian and is clearly madly in love with Callie, as you may have seen from last weeks episode which was evident. This love, while their is strong affection isn’t reciprocated back to her from Callie so Erika decides she’s gonna bid farewell - give her a hella surgery, let her be a hero for an episode and have her leave Seattle Grace Hospital and go back to either Mercy West or move on to another better place. That’s it. One episode… Now I might be jumping the gun as I haven’t seen this week’s episode but reports are she gets no farewell what so ever, in fact Smith herself says “I’m not written out. My final scene is just me heading to my car.” so I guess I’m not jumping ahead.
