alliancesjrSo, 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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.

Date: 2009-11-16 06:46 am (UTC)As for the whole "HOW DARE YOU ASK ME OUT", it was a defense mechanism for me. Because if you don't want to go to those bloody functions, you are put in the awkward position of trying to be nice about people's feelings who do want to go to those functions, especially with you. Because when you are new, you don't exactly want to alienate people, especially in a small arsed town. But you still don't want to go to those goddamn dances. So it is just easier if no one asks you out, then you get to be mopey about how no one asked you out! But if someone called you on your bluff about not wanting to be asked out and asks you out, you then have to do that weird dance around the situation thing.
Yes, I know what I just said made NO SENSE, but it is nearly 2!
