Writer's Block: Book review

[Error: unknown template qotd]
As a general rule, I think banning books is wrong. That said, I wish that fewer girls would read the Twilight saga and view it as a description of how a relationship is supposed to work. Read it, if you want, but don't be misled.

Lol. What amuses me about that is that when you and DeBray first got engaged, I remember being hopelessly confused because I wasn't aware that you had a boyfriend, much less one that you had been with long enough to consider engagement. Obviously we didn't know each other too well back then!

Well, I didn't say much about our relationship or its progress at the time. I posted briefly about having a boyfriend, and the next time I mentioned it, we were engaged. XD

I guess a lot of people were expecting the romantic play-by-play, but I kept most things to myself, 'cause it was our business, and gushing generally isn't my thing. It just bothered me that that one person assumed that since I hadn't posted every little heart flutter on El-Jay, that all our very serious and open conversations about where we wanted our relationship to go could not have taken place.

Ah, yeah, fail on their part. That's just silly.

My reaction ran pretty much like: "She's engaged! Wait, she has a boyfriend? Huh. Apparently so. Oh, well, cool, good for them!"

I figured he must be okay if you wanted to marry him, and I maintain that I was right. ^_^

The person in question was also a very, very bitter divorcée. One of those "I made a bad choice in marrying someone; therefore you're making a bad choice, too" sorts. She also hated TEH S3XX0RZ and freaked at any mention of a girl enjoying it. It's like, geez, woman, you want everyone to be as miserable as you are?

I'm not friends with her anymore. ;P
