I also hate Twilight. Watched the first two movies on cable once when I was home sick and had nothing else to watch. I know I should have turned to something else, but after a while it got to be like watching an accident scene.

Anyway, I don’t see why you have such a problem with the idea of vampires having or fathering children. I mean if you can accept for the purpose of the story that the rest of the vampire’s body is re-animated, why not the sperm/egg cells? After all their eyes, ears, brains, and muscles are all dead, yet they can still see, hear, think, and move around. Why couldn’t they propagate?

Of course it all depends on who’s version of vampirism the story uses. As Jami says, Twilight is not the first take on vampires where they can have sex and reproduce. However in other versions vampires lose the ability to do either.

All I know is that when my niece says something like ‘oh, he’s so romantic, we are like Bella and Edward in Twilight!’ I’m calling a hotline.

And yes, I did know about the hits all 15 warning signs of domestic abuse, which gets me back to the Why, oh WHY is this badly written §$%& popular???

In her younger days they called her Krystal Gale
No one thought her relationship with Mom would fail
But that geek from Verizon made her a solemn vow
And everything she types comes out “Can you hear me now?”

Krystal Gale, what’s that icon on your screen
Could it be a Moebius mood ring ap surreal
That geek ain’t a comin’ back, so you’d best move down the track
I hear he’s hitched to that skinny bitch from T-Mobile
