My Apologies to the Twihards in my Life

[wlotus]

I've just discovered a reason to never, ever watch or read any of the Twilight stuff. My sister-in-law, a Twihard to the core, just informed me that in the Twilight series, vampires do not melt and die in sunlight. Instead, they sparkle.

Vampires that sparkle? Really? The author rewrote generations of vampire lore to make her overly-emo vampires sparkle???? Besides the glut of emo-ness--I was subjected to bits and pieces of the second movie when T brought home a bootleg copy sometime last year and played it while I was in the room ignoring it for all I was worth--how on earth am I supposed to take a sparkly vampire seriously?!? There are no words for how appalled I am.
