Snow day

The young man's hometown is covered in multiple inches of snow, and I missed work because of it. What sucks is that I have a ton of shite to do, but of course all of the stuff I WANT to do, I am getting roadblocks at every turn. I am now getting an oil change in a minivan (I lead such an exciting, sexy life), while watching Judge Pirro, and counting what is left of my brain cells. Perhaps next I will eat some twinkies and spray cheese and wash it all down with some PBR...

I am a 12-year-old girl

So sure, The Young Man is way too old to get caught up in the Twilight saga BS, but as a writer, he is easily drawn in by a good storyline. This is the ONLY reason he is even speaking about Twilight…

My man Edward (dude with the hair) is a vampire, and his "soulmate" is Isabella. Well, he is obsessed with her (soulmate-duh!), as are all of the vampires, but that's irrelevant. What's ill is that her blood is like crack to them, and her scent drives them all batty. Ed has to fight his inner vampire off because of this, but his connection to her won't let him leave her alone. He has 2 lines in the movie about this that stand out (paraphrasing, of course):

1. He calls her his own personal brand of heroin.

2. He tells her he doesn’t have the strength to stay away from her.

Are you SERIOUS?? That shite would SUCK in real life. To be that obsessed with someone and not be able to do ANYTHING? I mean, that is just WRONG on so many levels! Granted,they wind up together, but what if they didn’t? How cruel and jacked up would that be? To know it’s gonna end badly if you are around them, but you can't NOT be around them? The Young Man can only imagine the freaking pain… To have to be near them, and have your insides churn because you can’t BE with them? To smell them, and have their scent all around you, but not be able to do anything about that? Oh my god… That would drive you crazy. The Young Man doesn’t usually go on and on over a teeny-bopper movie plot, but that just kind of got to him. Kinda like the scene in Kill Bill 2 where The Bride is in the coffin… Ohhh… The Young Man shudders…

But again, the young man digresses…
