I'm still editing, so I need advice on it. It's a familiar essay.

There are three types of people in the world: those who love Twilight, those who hate it, and those who haven’t even heard of Twilight. If you find yourself in the last category, you must live in a hole in a cave that has a boulder blocking your exit. How you got in that cave, I have no idea. Only if you are oblivious to the world do you not hear people fawning over the characters of Twilight, or the people yelling at those people for fawning over the characters of the book. Many people think that the vampire characters are perfect, but I believe I can find one flaw. They sparkle like pixies. If anyone has read anything about Dracula, seeing that vampires are supposed to be scary and not sparkle like fairies would be easy. In fact, the sparkles contradict the idea of a vampire. “Bella, I’m not beautiful. I’m the most dangerous thing in the forest. Watch my sparkles give off the opposite vibe.”
Teams for the characters formed, and people on these teams, from tweens to parents, go to any length to protect their beloved characters. Whether they attack the other team with words or shovels is their own choice. The teams originally formed on the opinion on whether pixie Edward or sweaty wolf-boy Jacob should get whiny Bella, the ugliest person in the world even though everyone wants to be her friend and all the guys want to date her on her first day in a new city. Frankly, I believe these people chose the character, which they want for themselves. For this reason, I side on neither. Please don’t hunt me down now.
The obsession of the characters has reached far beyond the fantasizing phase. People place life-size pictures of the characters on their bedroom wall so that they, the characters, can smile creepily as they watch their fans sleep. On some of the posters, the characters are shirtless, even glaring at another character (if they aren’t watching their fans)! My paranoia would never allow something like this to be hung on my bedroom wall, and my morals are too high to hang them in any other room in my house. Excuse me for shuddering at the thought.
As if this wasn’t enough, some people have taken the vampire craze to a new extreme. Instead of greeting their friends with a simple hello or head nod, they bite their friend’s neck. The logical thinkers of the world are beginning to worry about an infection spreading for these vampire-like greeters chomp hard enough to leave a mark. Why they do this is beyond my comprehension. Maybe we need to remind some people that they are human, and human behavior does not include greeting people by munching on their neck. Think about it. Walking down the street, you see a complete stranger, but they seem nice and you want to talk to them. You walk over and bite their neck. At the same time, they are screaming and fumbling with their cell phone, dialing the magical numbers of 911. I don’t know where these people grew up, but I grew up in this odd thing I like to call reality.
I know there are people out there who think this obsession has been taken too far. There are also people out there who are wonder what obsession I am talking about. You have to love denials. They are the best things put onto this Earth. One can walk around, look oddly at a person, and that person knows what they are doing is out of the “norm,” yet pretend to not know why that particular person is staring at them. Now, a true friend might whine to the “odd” person to try to get the person to stop biting people’s necks. The person might look at them with liquid topaz eyes- which the only thing I can say to that description is ‘what in the world is liquid topaz?’ for I have never seen it before- and say in a sweet voice, “You are one to talk, my friend. You should wash all that glitter off of you. There is a long trail of it down the hallway.” Then there are people like me who just sit back and wonder what the world is truly coming to. Surely the Armageddon is not approaching this rapidly.
