1-2-3-4
3-2-1 We came to fuck
Everybody party till the gasman comes
Sparkle like Bowie in the morning sun
And get a parking violation on La Brea till it's done
Hair back, collar up, jet black, so cool!
Sing it like the kids that are mean to you, c'mon
When you wanna be a movie star (c'mon! )
Play the game and take band real far (c'mon! )
Play it right and drive a Volvo car (c'mon! )
Pick a fight at an airport bar
The kids don't care if you're all right honey
Pills don't help but it sure is funny
Gimme gimme some of that vampire money c'mon!
Hey you look like somebody I used to know
And now 3-2-1 we got the bomb
Everybody hurry till the tax man comes
Glimmer like Bolan in the morning sun
And get your finger on the trigger
Tap the barrel of the a gun
Hair back, motherfucker!
Jet black, so cool
Sing it like the kids that are mean to you (c'mon! )
When you wanna be a movie star (c'mon! )
Play the game and take band real far (c'mon! )
Play it right and drive a Volvo car (c'mon! )
Pick a fight at an airport bar
The kids don't care if you're all right honey
Pills don't help but it sure is funny
Gimme gimme some of that vampire money c'mon!
Fuck yeah
That's right
1, 2, 3, 4
Well 3-2-1 we came to fuck
Everybody party till the gasman comes
Sparkle like Bowie in the morning sun
And get a parking violation on La Brea till it's done
Hair back, collar up, jet black, so cool!
Sing it like the kids that are mean to you (c'mon! )

C'mon!
This party
I think it's way too loud
Gonna have to turn it down a little, sorry
Okay, I'm kinda still trying to make sense of the song. I understand bits and pieces but that's about it. No matter. It's more fun this way.
Right. New Twilight thing. This may come across as being wimpy about committing, but I will not, and cannot jump onto that bandwagon of condemning all things vampiric, but neither will I support it either. I mean, I'm NOT a fangirl. But I see no reason to be predictable and extremist and start bashing all things Twilgiht. People go like, Oh, a new vampire series? And they compare it to Twilight, all the while commenting on the sucky romance and cliched whatever.
Hmm. Unstructured thoughts. Not very coherent of me. Oh well, never mind.
Anyway. First of all, I would like to say that I honestly think it's stupid and a waste of time to "be in love" with Edward/ Jacob. Seriously? For crying out loud, they're NOT REAL. They're just ideas, representations of a type of guy. I swear, if I hear/ read about obssessed fangirls sighing over their supposed looks or personality, I will...do unmentionable things to them.
Uh. Right, on with the commentary.
The hype Twilight is generating is also disgusting. I know I'm only contributing to it, but still. A girl's gotta rant when a girl's gotta rant. Please, people. It's just a book series about (gag) sparkly vampires. In love. And werewolves. C'mon, how is this love triangle thing any different from the Taiwanese idol dramas or any other chick lit? And the other vampire novels/ series that seemed to be written overnight to cash in on the vampire craze... I have just one thing to say. W.T.F?
...
But of course, any good (though slightly incoherent) argument must be balanced. And so, I now find myself playing the role of defending Twilight. Or at least persuading people to hate it just a widdle bit less.
Uh. Okay.
First, for a cliched romance story, it's not that bad. Hey, I cried reading New Moon. Okay... In my defense, I missed you. But seriously, cut it some slack. Like Romeo and Juliet is any less melodramatic. And all the modern day R&Js, those are just asking for it.
And... Next, I suppose that people can relate to it or something.
...
Okay, this is to hard. I give up. Why am I trying to findredeeming qualities of Twilight? Never mind, don't answer that, random blog-hopper. Just...hop along.
Anyway, so that's that. Yet another exciting blogpost coming to an end. Before I go, I must confess... I watch Twilight, and I'm probably watching the latest one. Even though Pattinson is nowhere near the mental image I have of Edward, and it's ridiculous that Lautner walks around with his shirt off 99.9% of the time in the movies. It's like a train wreck, or any other accident. You just can't tear your eyes away from it.
Ah well. More next time. Pretty good for someone who hasn't blogged in like, what? A couple of months? Bad blogger. (That's me.) Okay, gotta go before I start rambling again.
Later.
P/S: Please try to be more careful. Falling down is so not cool. And very upsetting.
P/P/S: No song lyrics or witty quotes today. Sad face.
Oh wait.
Remember how our hands matched
Love lines, same size
I guess I should have checked
To see the lifelines were in line
Don't you justlove Bowling for Soup?
