Okay, I swore I'd never watch the movies. I mean, c'mon, I'm a 27 year old mother of two...Isn't the movie about a teenage love triangle? I'm so beyond that.
Then I swore I'd never read the books. No time to free read...especially fiction.
And I certainly never be caught dead in one of those black shirts with the giant face of Rob Pattinson on it.
Oh gosh...Punish me now...
It started with a lazy night, girls in bed and nothing to watch on TV. Tim and I found Twilight was playing on a free movie channel and decided to give it a go...I mean, I was a little intrigued about all the hoop-la revolving around this saga.
I unfortunatly, like the movie. And unfortunatly, my like grew the next day as I thought about the movie and it's plot line/love story. My girlfriend lent me the next movie and Tim and I watched it 3 days later. It was official, I was hooked.
It didn't help that I joined two other girlfriends two weeks later for the Twilight Triliogy the night of the Eclipse premere. Twilight at 7:00pm, New Moon at 9:30pm and Eclipse at 12:30am! What was I doing?!?! This was so unlike me!
Anyway, fastforward a week and I'm 150 pages into the first book, anxious to pick it up whenever I have a free moment. I figure the books will get me through the next year and a half (til Nov 2011) until the first part of the final movie, Breaking Dawn, comes out.
You're probably wondering if I bought the shirt....thankfully, I just can't go there...not that I blame any one who has (love your passion, Mandy!)...I can actually relate to your desire to keep Edward Cullen close to your heart!
Okay, there is a spiritual lesson/disclaimer to my experience getting wrapped up in these movies but I have to go now, so I'll leave that for my next post!
Until then....
