User blog:TeamTaycobSoDealWithIt/In honor of one of the best Twilight characters ever...

...Happy Birthday to Jacob Black!! I woke up this morning, thinking of what day it is, and I realized that today is January 14th, Jacob Black's (not Taylor Lautner's) birthday! Jake was born in 1990, so he would be 22 years old today. Scary, I know. But honestly, if it wasn't obvious enough, I truly love Jacob a lot. I know I sound crazy, knowing that he's just a book and movie character, but really.

I know he can be annoying at times. I know he can be stubborn, a bit pushy, and maybe even moronic. At least I can handle the cons. Others (most Team Edward people, generally) tend to hate Jacob for his little flaws rather than seeing the whole picture, but some people need to see that Jacob is supposed to have flaws. What good character doesn't have flaws?

But there are also reasons why I love Jacob: And my most important reason:
 * He grows and matures a lot as a character.
 * He actually understands Bella, so he doesn't have to guess what she's thinking.
 * He makes Bella happy, whereas Edward makes Bella nervous and paranoid.
 * He truly loves Bella, and Bella truly loved (yes, loved, not loves anymore) him.
 * He doesn't give cryptic little remarks; he's to-the-fricking-point
 * He has a pulse and a sense of humor.
 * He and Bella have equal power in their relationship.
 * He's very forgiving.
 * Who the hell wants to cuddle with a fricking corpse?
 * He's fun!
 * He doesn't sparkle.
 * He makes Bella feel safe and secure.
 * He fights for what he wants.

He isn't perfect.

(Yes, I did take that from my user page, but I did initially type that up myself.)

Jacob shouldn't be perfect. He doesn't have to be. I like him just the way he is.

So in honor of this great guy of the Twilight Saga,whom I want to hug sometimes and want to slap in the head other times, I feel like watching the Jacob fast forwards on my New Moon and Eclipse DVDs today, and when I'm done, I'll listen to "Birthday Cake" by Rihanna on repeat later. Happy Birthday, Jacob.

P.S. - If you're only going to comment by arguing that Edward's a good character or something, then I suggest you save it. You can have your moment on June 20th, a day where I will probably be on the Wiki for half the time that I am usually on it. ^.^
