Twilight the movie (no, this isn't really about the book...)

I mean, seriously. Willow. Humpf.

I love willow trees! I want one at my house. Willow's not bad, though rather sad. It's similar to birch, and sometimes instead of pine I get willow. Not usually, though.

Solveig, I finished Diamonds are Forever and I can only say one thing about the rats: EEEWWWWW!!!

I'm curious to see what others get if they take the quiz!
I just wish they'd offer more options on the questions rather than have an all or nothing type thing. Nobody is all one and not the other on most issues and aspects.

It's kind of a strange test. I always have trouble deciding whether I'm more understanding or empathetic. To be empathetic, you must understand to some extent. I also have trouble with the beauty/suffering question; if I'm empathetic, I must feel suffering and beauty at the same time. I wish they'd let you choose both. I use logic as much if not more than intuition.

(None of this is supposed to sound conceited; it's me comparing the site's knowledge of me with my own.)
I'm birch because I can be "poetic" and dark. I can forgive and start over, but I realize that there is always a past and trying to forget it is useless. I try to heal and help wherever I can, and I'm often used for such. I can be a child in the way that I do things for people, trusting them, and an adult in knowing better about people (but I do it anyway for them). The birch is my main tree, but there are other pieces of me mixed in sometimes.
I'm ivy because I'm dark sometimes and I appreciate dark beauty. I believe in an eternal life. I move slowly in many ways, and overall I can be unchangeable. I'm usually very loyal. I'm unlike ivy because I'm not all gloom and doom.
I'm aspen because I can be eloquent. I'm absent-minded sometimes, but I'm perceptive. Sometimes I feel detached from everyone. I'm not like aspen because though I understand the world and am interested in my own personal one, I also love the subjects that inhabit the real world; I can also be very passionate about the real world. (I think that the aspen is the "writer" tree.)
I'm pine because I can be detached sometimes, yet I comfort people. I like to watch and sum up what I've seen, tell stories about it. I'm not the strongest person, but I am intelligent and have some considerable backbone. I might seem cold to some people, but anyone who knows me knows that I'm not. I'm not like the pine because I can be a very fuzzy thinker sometimes.

Birch and pine seem very accurate for you, Kelsey.

Does anyone think it is accurate for me?

I received Ivy, Willow, and Rowan, in that order. Does that mean ivy was the most prominent?

I picture you as a mix of what you said you looked like, and your brunette avatars (but more human-like and less cartoonish). I get them mixed up sometimes.

If I think of you as a human, that's actually the image I do get. You said in Y!A you're petite too, right?

Yeah, I'm pretty short. Nearly 5'2", and I do mean nearly.
Nicholle, I picture you like your avatars with actual pictures of you. But sometimes other random avatars of yours are either in the background or are mixed in with your features (and that looks strange sometimes).

If you guys were wondering about the tree personality thing, there's a quiz you can take. I didn't just make up hippy crap; my result was birch (with vine and pine tendencies-- I'm a complex person ). If you're going to take the quiz, I suggest taking it more than once and thinking very hard about some of the questions. The questions usually only have two choices (and many of the questions are strange), and if you're a moderate kind of person, it's hard to choose, so if you take the quiz more than once and think it helps get more accurate views.

That script was so right; they hissed like a couple of fifth graders pretending to be vampires.

It sucks that they took out the clip wherein Edward looked like he was going to blow a gasket after James said, "You brought a snack."

I had three favorite parts:

>That car crash scene. I love how Edward was obsessing over some hot chick while Bella was trapped between the cars. If you hear it, he chases after that girl screaming "I'm immortal!"

>The box-trap set by James. Candy in box, tug string, and victim IS DEAD! Then there is James doing his "that was ALL me!" victory "speech".

>The very end, where Bella says that Edward doesn't scare her. She climbs on his back, ready for take-off and WHACK! "Who the hell shut that?"

I laughed so hard in the scene wherein he explained why his skin was so ice cold. "The shower was broken...AAAAAA!!!" His scream was so girlish.

That was really funny with the Snickers bar. Another laughed so hard part.

I loved the scene wherein James said, "You brought a snack." and Edward was possessively clutching his Hershey bar. Then Bella asked, "Now they want to kill me?"and Edward replied, "No, he wants my candy bar."

I found that spoof a few weeks ago, and I literally fell of my chair laughing. It's hilarious! I loved his girly scream. James might've been my favorite part; something about him banging on the roof of a "moving" car struck me as funny.

My favorite part was the shower girly screaming and the window smashing. My sister went to see the movie with a friend and she said that Edward looked like a sweaty pig when he sparkled.

I imagine that a talking tree must seem kind of strange. For the record, I don't look like a birch. The birch is my "personality tree," though.

It's really not that I picture you as a birch tree but rather when you pop into my head, the image of a birch tree comes with.

If that makes sense...

I picture you as your original avatar...the one with the green eyes and curly brown hair. Except, you know, human, not cartoon. The birch is your personality tree? Interesting. Out of curiosity, how DO you picture me?

Maaaybe... He is a good actor, I agree.

I see I missed a lot of discussion...

To be honest, I...not liked, but enjoyed watching the movie. It was cute, and I expected it to be WAY worse than it was. The secondary characters weren't bad at all, I liked James, and even Edward had some good moments. Kristin? Sucked.

Johnny Depp and Alan Rickman? Keep talking! Might I add Sean Bean to the discussion? And Gerard Butler (when he's in movies where he's actually SUPPOSED to be hot, that is )?

So, Tourterelle, what do you think of me as? Erik? Or just his mask?

A combination of the rose and his mask.

To be honest, I much prefered the secondary characters. I felt that they were the saving grace of both the series and perhaps the movie as well. Obviously, I liked neither as a whole, but Alice Cullen, in specific, piqued my interest. She is one of the few Twilight characters I was okay with, though I'd wish she were more developed.

I didn't really care for the movie too much, but I agree that some of the actors have great talent.

Sean Bean? The villain from National Treasure?! On this, I'm sorry, Polina, but no. Gerard Butler, though, I can drool over.

Sometimes I think I'm too practical for my own good. It's not fun being practical most of the time.

His age and kids make no difference to me. I'm not sure why.

Even if he is in a committed relationship and what not, he's still an amazing actor and very hot.

It probably has something to do with the fact that he's older than my dad, has a "new age" marriage, and two kids. He's not available, so the practical part of my brain doesn't find him hot outside of Jack Sparrow.

You don't outside of PotC?

I do.
