i think i'm on team edward now.**

the other day i went to the movie with my friends, miss owl and kirsten.  we wanted to see the help, but it was sold out.  so we debated over abduction ("it's about someone who is abducted and they try to get them back," is what i told miss owl when she asked what it was about.) and contagion ("it's about a disease that a lot of people catch in a short amount of time.")

i wanted to see contagion because abduction has team jacob in it and i wanted no part of that, but i was outvoted.  we approached the counter guy and i asked for three tickets to team jacob.  (of course, he knew exactly what i meant.)  and i was embarrassed that i have such a big mouth and all the people in line heard me and probably thought i was ON team jacob.  yuck.  counter guy knew i was solid though, he could tell by my pink floyd t-shirt (he told me so.)

miss owl and i giggled all through the previews.  (the debt:  "it's about someone who owes something to someone else."  in time: "it's about some people that are rushing around to accomplish an important task within an allotted amount of time."  drive:  "it's about a man that drives a car very fast." the thing:  we pretty much just rolled around laughing at this point.)

the movie itself was stupid.  i mean, the premise was ok, i guess.  but some things were pretty dumb.  like team jacob's psychiatrist talking about his terrible insomnia and then two sentences later, team jacob tells her that he had "the dream" again.  i also didn't like watching giant teenagers kiss onscreen.  adults kissing onscreen makes me uncomfortable enough (i look away a lot because i don't want to look like a pervert staring at them, but i also take mental notes hoping to improve my technique.) i didn't like the movie because it turns out that team jacob is not a good actor.  unless you count glaring all the time as good acting.  also, we were in the front row and i could count every hair follicle on his werewolf face, which grossed me out.

but the point is this:  i am usually quite fond of males with brown skin (because i am so pasty myself), but i did not find team jacob attractive!  i couldn't believe it.  it's a first for me.  actually, i'm realizing now maybe i didn't find him attractive because i don't usually go for guys who are younger than my drivers license.  but isn't this the same guy that grown women screamed over when his shirt fell off in the vampire movies?  i don't get it.  i'll stick with brown guys, but give me shemar moore any day.

**i will never be on team edward, even if he was the last glittering vampire in the whole world.  i am a lifelong member of team good literature.
