Arrested Vampirism

As a person who has been t.v. free almost two years now, I am pretty sheltered from the Twilight hoopla, except for when I check Facebook.

Let me tell you: “June 30th” is not interesting status update. It is equivalent to “I can’t wait for my first date,” “Only two days till I’m ungrounded,” and “Orlando Bloom is hot.”

You are all a bunch and thirty and forty-somethings. Are there any other tween and teen trends, you would like to cling onto like Silly Bandz, henna tattoos, or “vodka eyeballing.”

Here is an idea for a status update: “Today, I grew up and threw away my Twilight t-shirt.” If that doesn’t work try: “I just gained some literary taste and read a book with a complex plot and metaphors.”
