Summit Has Some Thinking To Do

I hate Twilight. Let me clarify that RIGHT NOW. However, I was looking back and forth between Stephenie Meyer's crapola and the CW's new series The Vampire Diaries (which, while it is what Meyer ripped off of, obviously only is on TV because of the success of Twilight), and I noticed that the CW seriously has it going on over Summit. Not only with the series they chose to bring to screen, but with the vampire-ing of their main actors.

Twilight: By the end of week one of Bella/Edward, we've got a super creepy vampire who is "vegetarian" and self-loathing and reads Bella's thoughts. Neither character has any development really, except, OH WAIT, they're both stunning. Good for them. Edward is, at this point, stalking Bella due to blood lust. Speaking of stunning, let's put the spotlight on Twilight's stars becoming vampires. The actors playing the fang-tastic (please don't misunderstand and think I am complimenting ANY character-building with that pun) characters are all absolutely gorgeous. When Robert Pattinson first appeared in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, I understood the phrase "my jaw dropped to the floor" for the first time. Their characters are supposed to be equally beautiful. But somehow, these make-up artists have managed to make them all hideous. HIDEOUS. I do not understand.

The Vampire Diaries: By the end of episode one, I'd say we're about 3 or 4 says into Stefan/Elena. Stefan also stalks Elena. But you legitimately believe he is being protective, not obsessive. OK, the fact he's interested in her because she's the twin of the lover he had when he was alive is weird. I like that he does not invade her thoughts, but eavesdrops. His disappearing act is much less creepy than Edward's "I, um, watch you sleep." And the human-vampire transformation? Both Stefan and Damon are, um, I'll let A Very Potter Musical's Darren Criss describe it for me: "super-mega-foxy-awesome-hot." The effects to show their vampire side are also WAY better. I will take Stefan's blackening eyes over Edward's sparkling chest ANY day.

So Summit? You've got some homework to do. Choose the better, more original series to adapt next time and give your stars some better hair and make-up.

In Phili news, I have my first ever job interview in the next week. Hello, I am freaking out. I have, what, fifteen minutes to convince this woman that I am worthy to serve coffee at her café? I don't mean that in a sarcastic, rude way, please note, I'm honestly super nervous. If I get this, I will be at an actual establishment actually serving actual multiple customers working with an actual cash machine. And if I do well, I'll be making customers actual coffee. What?!

I completely forgot that I have to write a Willy Wonka story this weekend. How do you work Willy Wonka's personality into a story in which you reveal how he discovered the never-ending gobstopper AND that it's a hardcore drug AND that his factory was just one big cover-up?! Impossible, I tell you!

I've been endlessly watching 8 Simple Rules for the past week (taking advantage of how little homework my teachers have been giving me... knock on wood) and I actually cried while watching the episode right after John Ritter's death. Gah, it was just so sad. I've decided that I'm actually going to get on studying for my SATs soon though... so I actually, y'know, pass them and have a chance at getting into NYU.

It's redonkulously sad that I have run out of stuff to say about my life this quickly. I'll get to making it more exciting soon. Hopefully I'll have freaky customer stories soon. *fingers crossed*
