HELLO.

[elapses]

SO I LEFT CLASS EARLY TODAY TO DRIVE MY DAD TO THE DMV, only to discover (in an ironic twist, seeing as I had his car) he was gone. I called him and he said something about "having two meetings" and he's going tomorrow instead, but he didn't want to bother me in class. WHICH, WHATEVER, but isn't telling your daughter not to come get you so she doesn't ditch her next class for no reason (especially after last week, OH GOD) what text messaging was INVENTED FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE? >:(

WHATEVER, WORLD, I AM GOING TO BE A STUDENT-DELINQUENT AND SIT HERE AND WATCH LAST NIGHT'S FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS.


Idk if you remember my purse dilemma, but I ended up buying the blue one from the place and about a week ago I got the package, and inside was NOT, in fact, a strawberry purse, but the ugliest little faux-leather crocodile wallet I have EVER seen in my life. I emailed them about exchanging the thing I got for the thing I bought, but I think the guy misunderstood me, because he was all "well we can process your return for AMICI ACCESSORIES STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE and refund you and then you can buy a new purse!" BUT I DO NOT WANT A NEW PURSE, I want to be free of ugly crocodile wallet, and I want the purse I bought. YOU FUCKED UP, AND YOU SHOULD FIX IT. I really just need to call them, but I keep remembering at odd hours :( Except for now, when it is actually the middle of the day. I have no idea why I am writing a whiny LJ entry instead of calling them right now.

But I actually didn't decide to post so I could be fussy, I wanted to make a poll about the pimping of new fandoms (and pretend, for the sake of argument, that the new fandom in question is not something you have seen everywhere already and have whatever preconcieved notions about-- it is new, relatively fresh, and you do not):

YOUR KINK IS REALLY CONSISTENT.

I LOVE ALL PSYCHICS. I'm trying to think of a time that didn't actually work for me, and I CAN'T THINK OF ONE. "He's a telepath!" is what got me to read Twilight (although it does not hit my psychic kinks at all, and I dislike Edward!)

[elapses.livejournal.com]

I didn't even realize Edward was a telepath. Is that a trait unique to him or is it part of all the Twilight vampires? BECAUSE IF SO STEPHENIE MEYER'S VAMPIRES ARE EVEN MORE WEIRD AND WRONG THAT I'D PREVIOUSLY ASSUMED.

[unlovablehands.livejournal.com]

no. basically if you were predisposed to being a certain way as a human, you become moarso as a vampire, so edward became a telepath, and alice became a trufax precog, and jasper is an empath (in the regular sense, not in the sense of peter petrelli), but a lot of the vampires have more regular traits: rosalie became the most beautiful girl in the world, and emmett is rly strong, and carlisle has IRON WILL or something.

I guess the vampire thing alone wasn't special snowflakey enough?

[unlovablehands.livejournal.com]

tbh, i don't think that's that weird an idea, though. i mean, especially since becoming a vampire is basically her metaphor for becoming a mormon, kinda, so it makes sense that she's like "jesus takes all the awesome things about you and makes them EVEN MOAR AWESOME!"

[elapses.livejournal.com]

I'm so Twilight-ignorant I didn't even realize the vampire thing was her metaphor for her religion, but that actually makes a lot of sense.

idk if it was intended to be or not, but it works really well as such, so that's how i read it.
