so which team are you?

alright, so it seems that there is a lot of animosity that goes along with the Twilight saga. apparently, everyone and their mother, and their grandmother for that matter (since even Oprah advocates the series now....) feels the need to choose a side. i have read all of the novels, in fact, i read them before, yes before they were so popular. and i have to be honest with you, my darlings, i always had a soft spot for....JACOB. sure, he can get a little whiny sometimes, but then again, every wolf whines sometime.

i know, i know, you are aghast. well, i was procrastinating for a while, i was scared to see the film because i knew what would happen to my favorite. i just always hated how pathetic Bella was, how at one mention of Ed's name she scorns Jacob even though she had been stringing him along during the entire novel. and then she expects everything to be okay, for it all to go back to normal, like he does not have any feelings worthy of her acknowledgment. i always felt sorry for Jacob. everyone feels sorry for the rebound guy, right?

i feel like such the slacker for blogging about this of all topics. but the movie did entertain me. even if i hate the commercial Parthenon that Twilight has become, i must admit that it is kind of enthralling to witness all of your mental images while reading these books come to pass infront of you. the movie was great. so why am i STILL team Jacob?

because:
-he always keeps his word, he never makes a promise he doesn't keep.
-as a naturally COLD person, i prefer to be coaxed to warmth.
-he respects boundaries, like, not staring at you in your sleep which i NEVER found "romantic."
-sorry Edward, but i would much rather have a pack of gigantic Native American wolves behind me.
-with Jacob, there is no secret society of ancients to be scared of, who are ready and waiting for any reason to kill you.
-i would never have to hide myself from my family, because i would not have to change some aspect of myself in order to be with him. seeming as with Ed, one has to change species to be truly happy.
-he breaks the rules, doesn't hide behind them.
-he is patient, and doesn't talk about committing suicide all of the time, or how i am "his only reason for living..."
ugh, gag me. please, he lived for 109 years perfectly fine and angsty.
-he is reliable, trust worthy, naturally kind, and helpful.
-he doesn't lie to your face, leave without reason, then try to kill himself when he finds out that you have moved on.
-he won't try to run your life and make your decisions for you.
-he doesn't weep, he gets angry, and he gets even.
-and so on. and so on.

hahaha, Happy Thanksgiving dear bloggers. on my list of things to be thankful for.....?
