    @Lymed: I've spent the last three days watching Buffy on DVD and every time Angel comes on screen, I start desperately wishing that teenage girls would become obsessed with him instead.
    But, I guess it's a good thing for me. Less competition.

    @tonilost: Spike is no better than Edward, what with the creepy stalking and the BuffyBot and abusive sex and isolation from her friends and the "I only tried to rape you because you're such a bitch and you make me crazy!" self-justification. Spike is and always will be a complete asshole. At least when Angel was sneaking into Buffy's room at night, he was one of the bad guys.

    Poor thing. Though I kinda feel like we should be saying, 'Told you so.'
    'Told you' that in actuality, Edward is a creepy old guy who wants to get it on with virginal teenagers and not a super-sexy boyfriend-hero.

    Which is not to say that I think this all is a joke. But it's almost the holiday and I wanted to not be as cranky as I was yesterday.

    Oh? You want a spooky Volvo? Hard to beat an indestructible 20-year-old 240 sedan with considerable ground clearance and faded paint, especially compared to that god-awful crossover-thing.

    Of course, I'm doubly biased - not only do I believe that real Volvos are shaped like roll-off dumpsters, I also have a complete hatred of Twilight. Die already, vile franchise. Die! DIEDIEDIEDIEDIE!

    Whew. Now I feel a bit better. #twilightvolvo

    @MushyHeirloom: honestly, if you're a vampire, a car that can't be killed (like a 240) is a more fitting choice than a car designed to sacrifice itself to save you (like a modern Volvo). i mean, unless you have a stake sticking out of the steering wheel, a car crash isn't going to kill you anyway.

    i've just put way too much thought into Twilight. #twilightvolvo

    @MushyHeirloom: I may have seen Twilight (against my will), and it's not so much epically bad as it's boring. I mean, it's still a terrible movie, but very forgettable. Which leads me into - unkillable, sparkly, and boring could either describe Edward Cullen, or a silver Toyota Camry (plus, as Scion's proved, Toyota would appreciate the youth following). #twilightvolvo

    This isn't just for tweens. I am old enough to buy a car AND love Twilight.

    There is a reasonable tie-in. Edward drives a gray Volvo sedan in all four books. :P

    Bella drove an old Chevy truck which is later replaces with a Mercedes Guardian.... Alice drives a Porsche...

    And I am obviously not cool enough because none of the characters drove a Honda Civic like me. #twilightvolvo
