brief interruption

...to say that I was reading a blog and read this statement: "Twilight is something that I hated because I am old and I no longer have any tolerance for romance!"

Aside from the lack of a comma in her compound sentence, I am bothered by this sentiment. I would brush it off as joking (which the exclamation point would support), but I have read her review-ish statements regarding Twilight, and her joke is only partial. It's why she rather doesn't like the book she is discussing in the review in which this statement appears. I just want to say that I certainly hope at no age to lose my tolerance for romance in its many and varied forms. I don't wish to be so jaded/cynical that I dislike a book or a film or a song or a story because it happens to be a romance. That is all I have to say this barely morning. You may return to your regularly scheduled activities.
