Why people are so possessive of everything icon related is baffling to me.

Me too. Especially since there's not any, you know, MONEY involved, just prestige on teh internets. Which would be a pretty big deal if we were in Cory Doctorow world and ran our society on Whuffie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whuffie), but we don't. It's a hobby. No one's life is going to be made or broken by it. I guess some people just can't chill or whatever. Life is so much easier and more fun if you don't take everything so effing personally/seriously.

And god. Breaking Dawn. The sheer WTFery is kind of amazing. It was the only Twilight book I could stand to read just because I kept wanting to see what the heck would happen next. I was kind of ashamed that I read it, but I laughed so hard I CRIED, so I don't think it was a waste. Though I also don't think the scenes I was laughing at were intended to be funny, so.
