I got this email today, and it made me think. We think we know everything, and I’m sure we all know a lot, but these were interesting tidbits of info! I knew four of these answers. How many do you know?
This is a quiz for people who know everything! I found out in a hurry that I didn’t.
These are not trick questions. They are straight questions with straight answers

I was messing about on Twitter (which is a big reason why this blog is so neglected. I’m sorry.) and I saw a tweet by Rebecca Jones linking to a very entertaining review of the Twlight Movie.
This review made laugh. It was just honest. And I think spot on. And funny. I saw Twilight at midnight. I thought all the way through “I’m SO HAPPY I’m not as die hard Twilight fan as I am of Harry Potter. Cause I would be SO ANGRY. Thank god these people didn’t do the HP movies.” I then went back and saw it again 2 weeks later with some other friends, and laughed the whole time at it’s ridiculousness.
I’ve read Twilight. I love the series until the final book. I hated it. I disliked it so much I didn’t go to the Stephenie Meyer signing in Chicago three days later that I already had tickets for. A very nice friend of mine who still wanted to go got my book signed for me though.
I know there are Twilight fans who read my blog who won’t be happy with me. Whatever. I don’t care. I respect the series for what it is. Young Adult fantasy that won’t live on past the final movie. (ouch. even I cringed at that one. oh well…)
Don’t get me started on the fact that they are planning, shooting, and releasing the “New Moon” movie in under a year. Crazy they are. That will be interesting to see how they butcher that book.
And would you PLEASE stop comparing Twilight to Harry Potter? Twilight isn’t even close to the same quality.
