Third Rant about the Twilight Series

So "New Moon" is coming out, the second book in the Twilight series. And because I have no life I am going to rant some more about not only how awful these books are, how Bella is the world's worst role model for young girls, and also how much I loathe that she made vampires SPARKLE. But here's a quick point I'd like to make. In "New Moon" Edward the Sparkly Vampire dumps Bella the Doormat because he and his family ALMOST KILL HER at her birthday party. See, she cut herself and blood around vampires tends to be a big no, no. Consumed by guilt. Edward dumps Bella and runs off to parts unknown.




Bella is SOOOO upset she slips into a coma-like state. Here's where you lose me. In my life I have certainly had my share of heart ache. And I remember when my very first boyfriend MOVED IN WITH SOMEONE ELSE AND NEGLECTED TO INFORM ME OF THIS (Hi Darren wherever you are!!) and that sucked. I mean, that sucked A LOT. I was 16 at the time (Bella's age) and I was crazy about that guy. So I can kind of relate to how Bella feels (kind of, Darren, to the best of my knowledge, did not sparkle in daylight or suck blood, but I digress...). But here's the other thing. I was upset, I cried. And I did the following:
1. Cried


2. Ate lots of chocolate


3. Cried some more


4. Cried to my friends


5. Ate more chocolate


6. Went out with him after work one day where we played basketball and tried to be "friends". I instead flirted like a maniac with him and just as he conceded we might possibly go out again, left him. (Hey, revenge can be sweet).



Oh, and then I GOT OVER IT and GOT ANOTHER BOYFRIEND. And here's where Bella loses me, because she has a guy named Jacob panting after her (no pun intended since he's a WEREWOLF), and Jacob happens to look like this:

Uhhh.... the guy is SMOKING HOT. Where's the problem Bella?? Edward is gone... he dumped you after his family tried to kill you and you spend the entire book hanging out with sweet, sensitive, caring and insanely attractive Jacob (once again, see above) and all you can do is moan about Edward. Sorry girlie, this is sooo not realistic. ANY teenage girl would take a look at above and EVENTUALLY GET OVER THE GUY WHO DUMPED HER AND TAKE THIS NEW ONE FOR A SPIN!!! It's called hormones, and if I recall, teenagers are filled with them. Maybe not after a week, or a month, but it would happen.

Now I'm curious, does anyone disagree with me?? If your teenaged boy/girlfriend dumped you and an insanely good looking boy/girl started hanging out with you, confessed they loved you and all that, would you turn that down??
