hsm3 vs twilight & feminist ranting

i don't blog.

weird thing is, i just typed "blong" which i think is kind of insightful in a weird, ironic, totally creeps way. like, what if that was almost a "freudian slip," as though i really believe i don't belong? how weird.

apparently, though, i do now.

anyway, i'm, like, obsessed with high school musical 3. i could literally watch this movie every day. i'm not even mad about it. i don't curr, it's sexy to watch hsm3 errrday.

also, my obsession with hsm3 leads me to question my love for twilight, which comes out on dvd really soon. march 21st i think. anyway, the point is that i feel like my love for hsm3 has outweighed my love for twilight, which, to me, seems slightly unfortunate. i would get soooo excited when i saw a commercial on tv (okay, the disney channel...) for hsm3, and while i see commercials for twilight, i just keep thinking "eh, i probably won't remember to get that right away," which makes me sad. because i really did love the books. well, see, maybe that's it. i loved the books, not the movie. the movie changed everything, and made james sick looking with his sick, sick ponytail, and weird, and added slash took things out. grrrrrowl

"hold on tight, spider monkey."

let's get real for a minute. why!? that was NOWHERE in the book. in fact, that line is offensive.

speaking of offensive, the game is offensive. the game is the show the pick up artist on vh1 in sick book-form. it's the most appalling piece of "literature" i have ever encountered, in my short 21 years. it's awful. i hate reading it because:

1.) it's embare to publically read a dating/relationship book in public places (i.e. the detroit airport, the luxor hotel/casino in las vegas, the las vegas airport).
2.) i am not a man trying to learn "the game," nor am i trying to hone my skills in picking up women.
3.) it is a truly heinous book
4.) the fact that men/boys actually read this book is absolutely appalling
5.) it has been published and bound to resemble the bible. (uuuuuhm, hello, that is like blasphemy and i am not even religious!)
6.) the fact that these men/boys/computer nerds/"magicians"/tools actually live and breathe the lifestyle portrayed in the book is appalling/offensive
7.) beyond all of the other obvious bullshit that is wrong with the book, it is just a hideous excuse for a how-to
8.) most importantly, it's offensive to women

and if i've learned anything in college, it's that i've somehow become a feminist. therefore, reading this book is like pulling teeth, and i honestly do not believe that neil strauss (the author, whose blog can be seen here) or any of the "men" mentioned (mystery- WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOU SICK FUCK?!?!) should get any royalties or notoriety from their appalling and offensive behavior.

that is all. i'm too riled up and pissed off now to continue.
