I feel like I'm back to my Hanson years.. pining over a young male I've never met. Hoping he's thinking of me too... day-dreaming of us together, running through open fields, hand-in-hand. Sigh, young love.
The difference this time, is that I'm 23 and the boy is a fictional vampire. Life just isn't fair!
It's a problem, guys. I'm obsessed with the "Twilight" series. And I'm not alone. Hoards of tween girls are reading the books and getting ready to see the movie that comes out IN-JUST-SEVEN-DAYS. How can we resist? It's got romance, battles, danger, vampires, wearwolves, a young heroine that I would give ANYTHING to be, and a heart-stopping, dreamboat: Edward Cullen. I read the first two books in 4 days.. that's a thousand pages. I'm on the third. It's sitting on my desk, just staring at me, but I'm doing everything in my power to hold off. Once I read this one, there is only one more left.. that's it. Then it's done. Forever.
It doesn't help that the movie is coming out and the actor playing Edward Cullen is British and gorrrrrgeeeeouuuussssss. How did I do this when I was 12?? How did I get past the longing, the day dreaming, THE OBSESSION?? When I'm not reading the books, I'm googling them.. looking up the author, the actors, the pictures, ANYTHING I CAN GET MY HANDS ON! It's sick, sick, sick.
Anyway.. for those of you that have too much time of your hands, like moi, I'd suggest reading them. They're the new "Harry Potter." Also.. I might suggest listening to Def Leppard's "Love Bites" while reading. I've always been partial to this song, but "Twilight" gives it a whole different meaning..
