See, Shopaholic likes it more than I do. Team Switzerland lol.
I just think its a different degree of writing between the two series, that's all. They're both written for a "younger" audience, but I prefer HP just because of the level of detail and the plot line. The characters are entangled in some teenage romance, but its not the FOCUS of the stories, and I like the whole message of the books.

Noo. Not unless you say weirdo as a good thing, and then I am as well.
People like different things. This girl I went to HS with has all over her FB page I DON'T UNDERSTAND TWILIGHT IT LOOKS SO STUPID WHAT'S WITH ALL THESE IDIOTS. And I just want to be, oh yeah, I don't understand your fascination with Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice and all those damn reality shows, but I just keep it to myself  , but different strokes for different folks
I'm just feisty lately

It can be fun to compare Twilight to HP in an academic sort of way, but I agree it's comparing apples to oranges. My suitemates in college and I used to get into huge arguments comparing the HP books to one another. By the end we'd all be brandishing copies of whatever books we happened to be comparing, looking for quotes and passages to support things like whether Draco was good or evil or whether Dumbledore was acting out of character in book 6. Sometimes it ended in violence...let me tell you it hurts to get hit with a hardback copy of HPatOotP. And the whole matter was further complicated by the fact that one of my suitemates read a whole lot of fanfic and couldn't remember whether certain things were "canon" or "non-canon" LOL.

Haha.
Yeah, a friend of mine is of the school of thought "if they make a movie from a book it needs to be EXACT" and I'm more of a "eh, whatever, just don't change the message." I refuse to talk to her about Twilight and HP. It just gets annoying. She goes off on these huge rants and I'm just like really. This is why you're upset? Some people get veeerry passionate.

I'm another who saw the first twilight movie and was begging to have my eyes torn out by the end xD Seriously Bella had like 2 expressions:
>:|
and
>:-o
I couldnt stop watching her hair though xD I've never read the books. I may never do so for fear that I actually will tear my eyes out xD I did read and enjoy HP though so i guess its entirely possible twilight wouldnt be that bad.

LOL, Icon that basically sums up the books nicely. Good one! My favorite is this one, drawn by a friend of mine from the land down under:
I just had an amaaaaazing night out with my boyfriend  We went for a walk by the park at the river, then drove around looking for ridiculous nice houses (we feel like a married couple when we do this and it makes us LOL), and then we came back to my house and had a tickle fight hehehe :3 I love my boyfriend.
However, I think my cat is getting jealous. I shut her out of the room for an hour and she slept in my parents room today, and now she climbed in my lap. Usually she just lays next to me with some part of her touching me lol.

Aw, she misses you, Mary
I just spent 4 hours making pumpkin pie from scratch. Let me clarify myself - FOUR pumpkin pies, not just one. Apparently 6 tiny pumpkins give you enough for 4 huge pies. Who knew. I amused myself by taking pictures and creating a FB album on the adventure.
Tomorrow I tackle my first turkey...dum dum dum.

^Those are some quality cartoons.lol. They remind of that youtube video where the two girls satrized bella and edward's relationship. Not that it hasn't been done, this was just a video I caught about two years ago and none have compared since...anyways....
Small victory or should I say medium victory? Today whilst shopping at Victoria's Secret I actually found a top I liked in their collegiate pink section. Of course, I started scouring the rack for their largest size...a large...when the little sales lady bounds up and asks me if I need help. I say yes I'm looking for a large. She replies they have them but she thinks the medium would work better. I'm like, "Okay...right." So I take the two into the fitting room and low and behold medium works best. This may not be that exciting but I don't remember when I was last able to fit, meaning actually fit. Not pour myself into. A medium. Excitment abounds. I now have 4 size medium tops and am very excited. Yeehaw.

lol i cant take credit for it, a friend of mine found it and put it on facebook I love parodies.
I loooooove pumpkin pie 
redliss: congrats! thats super exciting!
I took a big step forward today. I had this bra that had the wire coming out of the end and stabbing me in the elbow, and I've been just stuffing the wire back in before i wear it and it lasts the day before it tries to assasinate me again, plus its sorta too big. But its comfy and im poor. Well anyways, today i was stuffing the wire back in (  ) and i just decided to throw it out. And i did 
I have issues letting go of things xD

Stella - Mmmm pumpkin pieeee
Redliss - CONGRATS!! That is awesome!! 
Icon - LOL I have issues like that too... And I still have the one bra that tries to stab me all the time, except it pokes out in the cleavage end :< (not that I have a cleavage, but still, it tries to pop what little bitties I have!) I want to get rid of it, but it would only take a few simple stitches to sew it back up... I'm lazy lol
I wish my bathroom was big enough to have room for a scale that I didn't have to put away all of the time. I only have a non-digital in the basement gym that I have trouble reading (damn my eyes!) annnnd my stepdad is still sound asleep and I don't like going in there when he's sleeping. I'll feel bad if I wake him up. Arg!

You know what's funny? I don't even like pumpkin pie...
So I'm laying in bed contemplating my day. I am so sore from 4 hours of baking yesterday and I'm doing the same thing later, so I'm counting theses things as exercise. I'm standing, moving, chopping, rolling...it counts, darnit.
We're also going to be playing Wii all night and I might do some Exercise tv while my turkey is in the oven. Yay for Fakesgiving.
I kind of want to go hiking but I don't know the trails around here. I don't have to start cooking until 3....hmmm....
What does everyone else have planned for the weekend?

Stella - Jeez, sounds like your day is packed! I don't know about the weather down there right now, but today is GORGEOUS for hiking. I wish I could go today :< Maybe I'll drag my friend to the nature walk lol.
I'm going to lunch with my friends, but we're doing Sonic, sooo I'm just going to eat before we go or eat later. I also have some classwork and some serious knitting to do. 30ish days til Christmas and I still have 4 or 5 projects to knit!

I like how I say oh I'm not exercising then I go on a 4.2 mile hike. Mary, its also beautiful here - about 52 degrees so I could get away with a light sweatshirt and no jacket.
I'm now procrastinating starting to cook. I've revised my menu about 4 times and this is what I'm settling for:
Turkey (duh)
Smashed Potatoes (using low-sodium chicken broth instead of cream)
Steamed Asparagus (thank you, microwave steam bags)
Chelsea is bringing Paula Deen's cornbread stuffing (lord help me)
Francisco is making mac & cheese
I have like 8 different turkey recipes, but I think I'm just going to make my own. Its more fun when you experiment
