And I thank you for that.
gothicusmaximus, I don't just read Stephanie Meyer.
I read a lot of other books, ranging from Anne Rice to numerous playwrites and poets, including Liz Lochead and Edgar Allan Poe, Hell, even Arthur Miller and Robbie Burns.

Intriguing, I have never heard this before. Clearly these beliefs are very unique and distinguish you from the countless other other identity-crisis-beset teens who practice the black arts, none of whom have ever given me the exact same self-righteous spiel you're preparing to give me at this moment.
Male witches are called warlocks, right? What's it like having sex with the devil? Does the broomstick chafe your vagina?

So, let me Clarify.

You decide everyone "hates" you after indivudals expressed their opinion on your choice of literature.
I think you are merely misinterpreting the dislike of an author who's work you enjoy endulging in as hate.
This, in my opinion , which I am now going to freely express, is rather poor on your part.

So in total : No one is being mean, they are but expressing opinions, and this site is about expressing yourself.

P.S.: Please don't swear that often.

I said I DIDN'T hate you. Get that? "Didn't" is like, "did not"?

You try fucking living with Grandparents who are Evangelists and think you're the Anti-Christ.
And when I say "you" I don't mean you yourself.
I was talking to everyone.
Also, when I say insane, I don't mean that I'm mentally disabled.
I just mean that I'm not, well, what people would call "normal" when it comes to personality.

Holy crap, ANNE RICE!? Well, if you've studied the GROUNDBREAKING work of that LITERARY GODDESS, clearly you're very well-versed in english literature.

I fixed the last part of your post for you.

Well say 'not normal' not 'insane', just as I say buxom - not cancer.

I also doubt you're 'not normal', you seem to be a total stereotype so far.

Now that is what I call pathetic.
1: You clearly know absolutely nothing on the subject.
2: Warlocks do not exsist.
3. Witchcraft ahs nothing to do with the Devil.
4: You are an ignorant fuck who's going to get his comeuppance one of these days.

The Crucible is actually about Communism.

That's a pathetic reason to hate someone.
If I hated every Stephanie Meyer fan, genocide would've happened by now. I'm not hating you: I'm mocking you.

I guess it proves your point that I find persecuting others because of music they listen to or clothes they wear pretty funny too.

I think Stephanie Meyer along with other writers of that ilk are the death of literature: judging you on your book taste as a collective of literature fans is natural, telling you Stephanie Meyer sucks is justifiable.

Sounds to me like you need to start defending yourself. Here is a good place to start.

I don't need to try living with your grandparents to see that you're attention-seeking and have no self-awareness, and that you think entirely too much of yourself. If you weren't so angsty and teenage, you'd have, y'know, maybe, got a job and moved out?

Gothicus also said he didn't hate you.

Also, when you say you're not normal, you mean you're sooo "individual" and "eccentric", right? NO. YOU ARE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. 'Kay? Glad we cleared that up. Bye bye.

Warlocks don't exist? That's peculiar. I'd think at least some men would want to have sex with satan, but I guess that would mean they'd have to hang out with fat goth girls.

Ah okay, I thought she wrote that about the witch brethren during the burning times.

Actually, I do know what "The Crucible" was about.
I had to, as I played Susanna Walcott in the National Theatre of Scotlands production of it at The Byre Theatre in St. Andrews.
Not a very big part, but it was a part all the same.
The play taught me a lot about how dangeous paranoia and fear of others can be, and how much us humans havn't changed since the Burning times.

Due to your crappy perception on insanity, I suggest you need to act in more major roles than this.

Ofcourse I do.
It was a bunch of girls that started the whole thing. Well, in the play it was.
They cried "Witch!" on people that they mainly didn't like.
For example, in the play, Abigail Williams cried "Witch" on Goody Proctor because John Proctor wouldn't have her back.
She also cried "Witch" on sevral other people, including Mary Warren when Mary threatened to tell the truth about what they were doing.

Hey, it wasn't my fault that I didn't get given a big part.
The big parts were taken by the professionals.
I auditioned like the rest of the people from my school.
I got given the part fo Susanna Walcott and a friend of mine got given the part of Mercy Lewis.
In the last part of my audition peice, when I had to grab "Betty" and shake her, I couldn't keep a straight face because the girl I had grabbed looked so shocked that I had picked her.
The look on her face was so funny that I couldn't help but laugh.
That's why I didn't get a bigger part.
But atleast I had lines.

I enjoy how, when asked a question about an actual period in history, you just regurgitate stuff from a play.

I mean NO ONE, but for possibly a handful of exceptions, burned at the stake for witchcraft was actually a witch, so it makes no sense for practitioners of your religion to refer to that period by a special term, as if it's some dark chapter in the history of your faith.

Ech. That wasn't my point.

You said you'd learnt about paranoia - I was suggesting you learnt a little more about it.

I'm using it as an example because we didn't get access to records of what happened during the Salem Witch trial.
Abigail Williams exsisted in real life, that much I do know, and that she must have been at least 14 when the Salem Witch Trials happened.

I read the play because I was in a production of it and now that I'm a Drama student I had to do a Play Review on it.
In no way was I reffering to it in special term.
I reffered to it because I liked what I had been reading while rehearsing for the production.
