Off the Deep End?

Is it crazy that I'm seriously trying to talk my friend Haley into going with me on a trip to....




It's official, I'm one of those crazed fans, desperately wanting more of the Twilight saga! I finally finished Breaking Dawn last night. I thought it was the weirdest of the four books and that the true soul of Edward and Bella got lost in the translation. It was still pretty good though, just not as good as Book One (Twilight) and Book Three (Eclipse).
Can't wait for the film version of New Moon to come out in November and then I've read online that the film version of Eclipse is due June 2010. I know the movie does the novel no justice, but I still love "Twilight" anyway.

Completely out of my nature, I've already written the papers and done the projects that are due next week for Finals. No procrastination here, so I'm off to get back to reading the "Midnight Sun", which is Edward's version of Twilight. As expected, it's pretty good so far.

For any Twilight fans that don't know about Stephenie Meyer's personal website it's:

It's awesome and I love reading all the chapters and story lines that were edited out of the final draft of each book.

And if you are interested in TwiCon too, you can go here for the official site.

Happy Reading!

obsessEd!!!

I've been somewhat detached from anywhere or anything that doesn't involve me curled up on my sofa or in my bed with a Twilight novel ever since Sunday.

Don't worry though, I'm only mildly obsessed.

I finished Twilight and New Moon in less than 3 days, that's only slightly over 1,100 pages though.

I watched the movie last night. Twice. Once with the commentary on and was surprised at Rob Pattinson's English accent, which actually makes him even more intoxicating!

I'm so glad that last week was crammed with tests and projects because that gives me plenty of time to drool over Edward and Bella's twisted romance. I'm obviously a late bloomer to the whole Twilight phenomenon and I seriously can't believe that I've missed out on it for so long. I'm always amazed that a book, simply bound pages of printed paper, can come to life with such passion, horror, humor, and intrigue once I read it. It comes to life. I'm actually in awe of this, and often wonder what amazing journeys and experiences I'm missing out on that are bound in those books I never find time to read. I used to be an avid reader and I really do love it, the Twilight Saga has really rekindled that love for me too. I realize that I've seriously missed the feeling of letting my emotions and my imagination take me away with a good book.

I've gone through all the emotions too. Adrenaline during the passionate kissing scenes, horror through the dangerous vampire adventures, sadness during Book 2 at the heartbreak I felt so much a part of, and of course happiness and humor throughout the cheerful scenes. I've laughed, cringed with fear, and cried throughout it all.

I can't wait to see the outcome of Bella and Edward's romance, guess I'll have to get to working on book 3 tonight!

Even though the movie does no justice to the passion present in the book, I still love it. You can bet I'll be one of the crazies waiting out in line at midnight on November 27th to see "New Moon". I already can't wait!

Thanks to all who recommended the books, of course, I love them! They are amazing!

For anyone who hasn't yet become obsessEd like me, I urge you get to your nearest Barnes and Noble. Click over to amazon.com, and get the books. You won't be sorry. I promise.

I'll leave you with a bit of eye candy ;) One of my favorite scenes...

On The Wagon....

On the bandwagon, that is!

This past weekend while my sister Tarra and I were snowed in at my parent's we bought Twilight on Pay-per-view. Neither of us had seen the movie yet or read any of the books.



It was AMAZING! I loved it and am excited to borrow the books from a friend. I've heard from everyone that the books are much better than the movie so I can't wait to get reading. I'm always a sucker for a romantic storyline!
