A Trampire and Saying Something

I saw this article a few months ago and made a comment. I’d never commented on Huffington Post before but I felt a need to make a point so I signed up. Now, some 140 fans later and counting. Here’s the article. Read it. Then, I’ve included my comment below.

“If Hollywood were like the rest of the corporate world, dear Rupert would be worrying about a sexual harassment lawsuit for his behavior as it would be construed to be a superior to a subordinate kind of situation and he would be in a world of hurt, the least of which would be losing his “job”. THAT aside, Kristen is 22, God help her if she’s figured it all out at that youthful age. I’m not sure I agree it was a bad decision on her part to be with Rupert. She has right to explore the possibilities, something we are not privy to…the promises Rupert was making. I’m sad for her–that she has been treated so badly–not just over this episode, but the years of rapid abuse from supposed Twilight fans, who, in their ignorance, hate her just for being her and having Rob. Whatever. Live your life, Kristen, it’s a long road. Embrace it how you find it.”

The one thing I don’t like about Huffington Post is you can’t go in and edit. So where it says rapid fans…it should be rabid fans. I know. Just sayin’…

    When they mentioned Chris Brown I started to get hot under the collar all over. I was slammed for having my leads sleep with “everyone”. Three people two of whom were husbands at different times. I think it is part of theadonna complex thing. At some level, perhaps unconscious, men need their women to be pure.

Katherine’s quotes


"You know what they say about air and water when it comes to fire, don’t you?” she asks.
Now, I’m curious. She hasn’t spoken for the last ten minutes of the drive. “What?”
“Too much air blows out the fire. Too much water destroys it.”
I nod trying to determine what she’s really comparing us to. “The idea would be to keep the flame going, right. For years?” She nods. “Like a relationship. Like a marriage.” She cringes at the word marriage. Noted. “So you need the air—to stay constant—to fan the flames of the fire, and you know, grasshopper,” I smile at her and catch sight of the corners of her mouth turning slightly upward in response to the endearment, “a hot enough fire will burn water, so you have to be careful with the water too.”
“That I do know,” she says softly. “So that’s the truth about air and water.” She sighs deep.
“Which is?”
“It’s hard to maintain the balance to keep the fire going. You have to fan the flames without putting it out with too much water. But too little water will burn the fire right up. Too much fire. Too much destruction. We’re out of control.”
“You’re talking in circles,” I say.
“No. That’s us,” she says with certainty."— Katherine Owen
