A recent beautiful moment.
My daughter is nearly 13, hair dyed black, funky clothes (mostly black) and even funkier earrings, and describes herself as “more punk than goth”, which makes me giggle a little every time I hear it. She’s a big Twilight fan (I suppose I can’t make fun. At that age I was a bit obsessed with Ann Rice and Interview With a Vampire. The poor child has no idea how close she came to being named Claudia.) and is firmly in the team Edward camp. When I walk into her bedroom and see her reading manga and listening to Daft Punk, I can’t help but feel a bit proud. Bless the child, she’s just like her mom. My little geek.

The kids and I were at my parent’s house one weekend, visiting and talking, while my father and I drank too much wine, talked way too much, and showed each other progressively funnier clips on the internet. Dad found the Twilight remixed clip, with Edward vs. Buffy, and we thought my daughter would get a kick out of it. Here it is for the curious: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZwM3GvaTRM

We called her into the computer room and started the clip. When she came into the room she was smiling, but as the clip went on, the smile slowly slid away until her face was completely emotionless. As it finished, she turned to the two of us, we chuckling, she blank faced, and she slowly said “That’s. Not. Funny.”, and she walked away. Dad and I just looked at each other and cracked up.

So, laughing with my dad until we were both gasping for breath because we’d inadvertently insulted a twelve year old Twilight fan. Priceless.

What about True Blood??
at least the vampires are worth an undead shag in that one.

Have to admit, I haven't seen any episodes of that show.

I was never that impressed with Challenge Anneka myself.
