Sparkle Motion continues!

[alliancesjr]

So, I haven't really been in a self-flagellating mood lately. (DAYNA SAY NOTHING.) What with one thing and another, I've been in a bit of a funk.

HOWEVER. What with New Moon coming out next week, and me having to drag both Roommate and Melissa (I'm thinking Saturday, guys, probably the matinee 'cause I have to be at my parents' house by 5ish) (I AM NOT SEEING THIS ALONE. IF I HAVE TO SUFFER, SO DO YOU.), I probably should continue.

I also subjected Roommate to the Twilight DVD, though I did concede to sanity a bit and had the RiffTrax going.

@alliancesjr: So, yeah, RiffTrax made it watchable. Even so, that was the most fun game of Horrify The Twilight Noob ever.
@alliancesjr: "NO KEVIN I WILL RE-LISTEN TO EPISODE TEN LATER I NEED TO RECOVER"

You guys demanded it, so here we are.

Chapter Four

@alliancesjr: All right. Here we go. Kevin's Sparkle Motion Attempt Number Four.


@alliancesjr: Gee, Bella, you think the reason he keeps following you around is 'cause he almost crushed you with his KILLER DEATH VAN?

@alliancesjr: Tried to swerve/can't get a grip/you're gonna be crushed/by my snow-skid trip/KILLER DEATH VAN
@alliancesjr: Now there's a dent/where your corpse should be/looks like a shoulder/felt like a tree/KILLER DEATH VAN
@alliancesjr: *spontaneous guitar interlude*

@alliancesjr: I guess KILLER DEATH VAN isn't a band, it's a song.

I apologise for the crappy lyrics. I've never attempted writing a song before. I should totally get bonus points for the effort, though.


@alliancesjr: I can't really be funny about most of this chapter. It's normal high school dance-asking-angst, which I never experienced myself.
@alliancesjr: HAHA LIKE I KNEW GIRLS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
@alliancesjr: There's a joke in there somewhere but now I made myself sad.


@alliancesjr: YOU SHOULD HAVE LET ME DIE THAT WOULD SHOW YOU hey wait that means i would be dead BUT YOU WOULD FEEL BAD/BETTER SO YAY.

Yeah...the sad part is I can totally understand that whole exchange. Teenagers will be teenagers, and I've been one before. Once. For a little while, anyway. And yeah, it's not so big of a stretch.


@alliancesjr: "Nobody passed me the ball, which was good, but then I fell down a lot."
@alliancesjr: "Sometimes I took people with me."

I feel kind of guilty for being entertained by this. Awkward, absolutely-no-sense-of-balance-or-coordination Bella is kind of endearing and I really don't know what to think of that.


@alliancesjr: Also, having never been popular in high school, I honestly don't understand the whole "HOW DARE YOU ASK ME OUT" angle.

Truth. Although it also kind of strikes me as a whole Cordelia thing, actually. "I can be surrounded by people and still be alone." (Yes, Dayna, Season One, Episode Eleven entitled "Out of Mind, Out of Sight".) And I get that she's been on her own pretty much a while. It's just...I don't get it. I'd have killed for some attention back then. (Then again, I did re-connect with beow11 so it wasn't all bad.)

@cleolinda: Yeah... I have a feeling that SMeyer had a different HS experience from the rest of us.
@alliancesjr: Maybe just a tad.


@alliancesjr: Ah, yes. The tried-and-true method of guy-dodging: DRESSING ROOM SUPER HAPPY FUN TIMES.
@alliancesjr: ...do not taunt the Super Happy Fun Dressing Room.


@alliancesjr: ...I'm really surprised it took Volvo this long to start jumping on the Twilight Free Advertising bandwagon. This chapter is totally an ad.


...okay, and here's where I lost it.

@alliancesjr: WHAT. NO. WHAT.
@alliancesjr: "STAY AWAY FROM ME. oh and let me drive you across half the state. BUT YOU REALLY SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM ME." AUGH
@alliancesjr: WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN


Okay. Chapter's done now. Will have to wait for the next one; I can only handle so much at a time. And this one was mostly so normal, and then the bit at the end, what the hell.

Yeah, I'm sorry, I would totally listen to "Killer Death Van." But it has to be, like, Judas Priest-style.
