Twilight drinking game GO

[kippurbird]

We've had four chapters now. SO!

Drinking game anyone?

My suggestions so far:

*Every time Edward sends a mixed message
*Every time Bella describes Edward,
*a drink for each adjective used
*Two drinks if it's really silly
*Bella is klutzy for no good reason
*Charlie shows no spine
*Bella's mom flails and/or gets panicky
*The truck's gas millage is mentioned.

Someone does something that should make it obvious that they are some sort of supernatural creature? Drink.

Somebody sparkles or "dazzles" someone? Chug away.

Anytime Edward does something stalkery (trust me, it's coming up)? Drink as you shudder.

Anytime Bella realizes how wrong her behavior is but goes with it anyway? Drink.

Anytime Bella's classmates fawn over her? Drink.

That's all I got for now.

* anytime Bella mentions what she had for breakfast/lunch/dinner/whatever
* anytime Bella complains over things she shouldn't be complaining about

This may have us all resort to drinking.


The right one bit, and landed her new client a three-book deal for $750,000.

The Host, a vigorous blend of romance and science fiction that sold at auction for $600,000 and debuted at No. 1.

A drink...

* Every time Bella mentions what class she went to
* Whenever Bella finds something extremely odd about Edward erotic?
** Doubles if it's something really weird, like the aforementioned stalking or his elbows or something.
* Every time Bella says she isn't worthy of Edward
* Every time Bella complains about the weather
* Every time Bella complains about Forks

... maybe?

*sets up the glasses and has 911 on speed dial* Ok, lets kill that liver and some brain cells!

Every time:
*Bella thinks these people are totally below her
*the book contradicts itself
*something is introduced, and then not explained until much later, if at all (This might be hard to keep track of for a drinking game, but looking back, it seems to happen a lot.)

*Every time Bella is surprised by her own actions.

*Every time Bella describes Edward,

And two for if he's described in terms more suited to a marble statue. (Of course, that's practically every time...)

Here's a quote from page two:

Out is the most popular question she gets asked: If vampires go nuts for the smell of blood, what does Bella do when she has her period? ''Gross,'' says Meyer.

No! Bad author!

Page three gives me some hope though:

Despite wincing over the occasional Amazon.com one-star review (''bookaholic,'' for instance, declares that Twilight ''sucks like a vampire on your neck''), Meyer can't help but pore over the message boards. She loves her fans and wants to know how they're responding to her work. ''Sometimes the feedback is helpful,'' she says. ''I want to be a better writer...I read these other authors and I think, 'Now, that's a good writer. I'm never going to reach that level.' But I'm going to be a good storyteller,'' she says, sitting up a little straighter in her seat. ''And what a thing to be!''

A vast improvement on Rice, to be sure.

Um, Kips? ....

The "a drink for each adjective used," part could easily kill you. While sporking chapter thirteen, I decided to count each purple prose description used in the first paragraph. I concluded that there were about ten purple prose phrases in that one paragraph.

Be careful!
