My Trip to Forks
As you may know, I was recently on a camping trip at the southern part of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. On the way back, we (myself, Mr. Daroga, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tkp and Mr. Darcy) took the scenic route, ostensibly to bask in the wonders of our glorious natural setting but in actuality to see the illustrious home of one Bella Swan and a family of perfect, sparkly vampires.
I refer, of course, to Forks, former timber town and current very sad place. It has achieved new life and hope through the fairly random placement of Stephenie Meyers' books here, my review of which you can find here.
But you'd be better off checking outtkp's amazing comic rendition here. It's basically why I love the girl, distilled into stick figures.
Anyway, considering our shared ire (fueling the fact we can't stop reading them), there was no force on Earth that could have kept us out of Forks. Mr. and Mr. went along obligingly once we'd fed them, and on a potty run actually found the high school.
It's really very pretty. It's too bad everyone sucks so much and actually likes Bella here.
DO YOU SEE THAT SIGN? THIS IS THE ACTUAL PARKING LOT WHERE EDWARD SAVED BELLA FROM A TRUCK OMG!!!
ETA: I just found out through![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ontd_twatlight that gemma_violet did the above. All hail!
By the way, I'm a few chapters into Eclipse and already Edward's been abusive, deceitful and disabled Bella's car, she's been insufferably condescending about her mother, and several people have described her as a satellite orbiting Edward and she's had no problem with that. He's still the most kind, loving, and generous person she's ever known. It's like the cliched train wreck, with "russet" colored Native Americans. I cannot look away. I AM DAZZLED.
