                <description><![CDATA[ TWILIGHT SUCKS.<br /><br />The character development is shoddy at best, the scene changes are bollocks and the plot of the story flows like rapids.<br /><br />Twilight is the most over-hyped piece of shit since Cloverfield. That's right, I went there.<br /><br />The ONLY, AND I MEAN ONLY, reason that girls with air for brains can relate to Twilight is because they live in their closed off minds separate from the real world, where GOOD WRITING - like Dostoyevsky, Crichton, Patterson and Nabokov - don't exist. Twilight emulates the perfect perpetual angst of the teenage world today and absolutely capitalizes on the Way right-wing Christian virtue of "Believe like me or I'll hurt you". Twilight fan-girls have become close to rabid and have emulated that virtue so specifically, that an entire website has been devoted to Twilight fan-girl attacks. Somehow, they just don't get that good writing exists and they either a) refuse to read it, b) Claim Twilight is the best story out there or c) A combination of the two.<br /><br />To top it off, the twi-girls are just absolutely fucking insane. The MTV Movie awards (or whatever the fuck it was) was a viewers choice contest and somehow, SOME WAY, Twilight, a la Robert Pattinson, won out over The Dark Knight. I'mma let that sink in for a second. Twilight, the sappy, over-hyped, shoddy story won out over the Dark Knight, perhaps only the second Batman film to be edgy and satisfying to the point where it makes you question everyday actions.<br /><br />What is this? A world where viewer votes are more popular than actual GOOD writing?<br /><br />Everyone sits around and watches the VMA's for the New Moon trailer and then they instantly turn to a different channel. Twitter was a buzz with "New Moon" being a trending topic right up until it played. Lo and behold it's the same fucking thing.<br /><br />All you twilight fan-girls should be ashamed of yourself for lauding over Meyer's crappy writing style. You want good writing? Go out and pick up a copy of "Lolita" or "Crime and Punishment". Both stories have complex characters that have to deal with both internal struggle and external conflicts. Go read that and THEN Come back and tell me Twilight was a great read.<br /><br />I swear if you do, I will personally drive to your house and bitch-slap with War and Peace.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Happy new year everyone.<br /><br />I'm about 23 hours early in my time zone, but fuck it. I'm gonna be as early as I damn well please.<br /><br />And yeah I guess I am back, but I've been avoiding this site like the fucking black plague, because simply and only due to the fact that this site contains way too much drama.<br /><br />I liked the admin's latest dArama journal entry and then I realized how many ass-kissers are on this site. But then, that's the internet:<br /><br />Every member of every site will suck up to the admin of said site in order to garner something in return. On dA? People suck up to get admin and DD privileges. On MySpace? People claim that tom's every edit to the MS source code is a good one.<br /><br />Well ya' know what? Not every edit is a good one.<br /><br />I'm not saying that this latest chapter in the soap opera that is dA's life is going to be necessarily bad, but I'm politely asking all my dA viewers to GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASS.<br /><br />Be your own fucking person and draw/write/make whatever the hell you want and don't be influenced by people in power. Don't feel that you have to suck up to everybody above you to get some power around here.<br /><br />Leave a comment, leave flamebait, I don't really care anymore.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ok, being both of the male gender and a hater of anything that's being fangirled over at the current moment riddle me this:<br /><br />I understand Twilight is a young adult novel and that it contains a vampire named "Edward" and a young human named "Bella". The story goes on to include a fight between some vegetarian vampires and Werewolves and something about a secret that Edward must keep or some awful reason as to why Edward can't be with Bella, blood being delicious or something like that. Many people have claimed that <br /><br />"EDWARD IS SO SEXI!!!!11!!111oneoneone"<br />"EDWARD IS MY BOYFRIEND!!!111oneone1!"<br /><br />And the like.<br /><br />Being one, a book, and two, fantasy, could you please explain how Edward is sexy when there's no pictures of either in any book by Meyers?<br /><br />and based off the latest "Entertainment Weekly" covershot of Bella and Edward, shown here: <a href="http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/img/ew_cover.jpg">[link]</a> I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he is not someone you'd want going to the movies with you, or in any dark place for that matter. In fact, I'd like to walk out to an open field and have him follow me if he looks like that.<br /><br />So, any Twilight readers out there, please, feel free to tell me why this book appeals to you so much and why in the hell you would want <a href="http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/img/ew_cover.jpg">[link]</a> as your "bishie", "boyfriend" or another goopy mushy word for significant other?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I should bump that sad journal. My neighbor was forced to pay a total sum of about $30,000 dollars over a 10 year period (Sounds like a mortgage payment). WE were forced to get our own internet and I still use Limewire! So, all in all, nothing was learned!<br /><br />SMALLER UPDATE!<br /><br />Min-GET happens in about 200 pvs<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow. First I wanna start you off with a song. It's called "Download This Song" and NO IT'S NOT A PARODY OF WEIRD AL. This was made BEFORE Weird Al made his song. It's by MC Lars and is considered "Nerdcore". Nerdcore is like rap/rock pertaining to nerds and geeks. Here are the lyrics:<br /><br /><i>"It's 2006, the consumer's still pissed<br />Won't take it anymore so I'm writing a list<br />Don't try to resist this paradigm shift<br />The music revolution cannot be dismissed<br />$18.98 Iggy Pop CD?<br />What if I can get it from my sister for free?<br />It's all about marketing Clive Davis, see?<br />If fans buy the shirt then they get the mp3<br />Music was a product now it is a service<br />Major record labels why are you trying to hurt us?<br />Epic's up in my face like, "Don't steal our songs Lars,"<br />While Sony sells the burners that are burning CD-R's<br />So Warner, EMI, hear me clearly<br />Universal Music, update your circuitry<br />They sue little kids downloading hit songs<br />They think that makes sense<br />When they know that it's wrong<br /><br />Hey Mr. Record Man<br />The joke's on you<br />Running your label<br />Like it was 1992<br />Hey Mr. Record Man,<br />Your system can't compete<br />It's the New Artist Model<br />File transfer complete<br />Download this song!<br />Download this song!<br />Download this song!<br /><br />I know I'm rhyming fast, but the message is clear<br />You don't need a million dollars to launch a career<br />If your style is unique and you practice what you preach<br />Minor Threat and Jello both have things to teach!<br />I've got G5 production, concept videos<br />Touring with a laptop, rocking packed shows<br />The old-school major deal? It makes no sense<br />Indentured servitude, the costs are too immense!<br />Their finger's in the dam but the crack keeps on growing<br />Can't sell bottled water when it's freely flowing<br />Record sales slipping, down 8 percent<br />Increased download sales, you can't prevent<br />Satellite radio and video games<br />Changed the terrain, it will never be same<br />Did you know in ten years labels won't exist?<br />Goodbye DVD's, and compact disks!<br /><br />Hey Mr. Record Man,<br />What's wrong with you<br />Still living off your catalogue<br />From 1982<br />Hey Mr. Record Man,<br />Your system can't compete<br />It's the new artist model<br />File transfer complete<br />Download this song!<br />Download this song!<br />Download this song!<br /><br />You know, we just wanted a level playing field.<br />You've overcharged us for music for years, and now we're<br />Just trying to find a fair balance. I hate to say it, but:<br />Welcome to the future.<br /><br />Download this song!<br />Download this song!<br />Download this song!<br /><br />Hey Mr. Record Man<br />The joke's on you<br />Running your label<br />Like it was 1992<br />Hey Mr. Record Man,<br />Your system can't compete<br />It's the New Artist Model<br />File transfer complete"</i><br /><br />Now that you have read that you can probably guess that he encourages people to download songs, because the music industry is ripping us off by making us pay almost $20 for 1 song and 14 others we don't want. I agree. Everything is free on the internet and the RIAA should just fuck off.<br /><br />Now that you've read that, here's the situation. I use a WiFi connection to connect to the internet because we split the cost with my neighbor to use his. Well. I download music through Limewire (who doesn't?). Now those who have seen those RIAA crackdowns know that they send you a letter first right? Ones that say "pay up *insert outrageous amount of money here* or we'll arrest your ass"? Not in this case. Since I was downloading off my neighbor's WiFi, they thought he was the one downloading.<br /><br />So just now, a black van showed up outside my neighbor's house and took him away. Guess who? Yup. The RIAA. I've downloaded over 1500 songs off his connection. Wonder how much they'll make him pay. Guess this proves two things:<br /><br />The RIAA is a group of assholes. They didn't even question me.<br /><br />It's good to see somebody else get blamed for it.<br /><br />I can't believe they just carted him away without so much as a warning. I really wonder why the RIAA are such tight asses.<br /><br />NEW TOPIC! My dad's an asshole.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ All of you who read Squall's journal probably know he's leaving and he has his own reasons. I respect him for that.<br /><br />But when you're the problem and Squall won't tell you specifically, but goes around your back to other people and tell them so they can laugh at you and then tells you in some foreign language that you can't read, they lose my respect.<br /><br />Kiza. Stop making me wait. If I am the problem then tell me. Tell me what the problem is and why you wouldn't tell me until this Friday. Do not make me wait until the day when he's leaving to trey to amend things.<br /><br />Squall. Tell ME and only ME, directly to my face, why you hate me. Do NOT go around my back to tell everyone else and then leave an away message on your IM for everyone to see.<br /><br />I'm sick and tired of this childish shit! If I have a problem with you I will tell it directly to your face or IM window.<br /><br />So if anyone can shed a little light on this situation, I welcome it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
