SO- I know its been a while since I've written. It's not like there are many people that read this anyways, so I guess it doesn't matter too much. There have been a couple things that I have been wanting to write about, so I'll take them a few at a time. Today you get to hear about what I have been spending my spare time doing.
It all started last Saturday night. My roommate Michelle had tickets to a play and invited me to go with her to the Hale Center in Orem. It was a fun little play. Well, on the way up we were talking about how Twilight had just come out on DVD. If you know me very well, you know that I thought that those books were pretty dumb and never read them or saw the movie in one of my stubborn protests that I create sometimes. (At least I can admit it, right?) Well, Michelle and I decided that we should get the movie and watch it. I wanted to see what the hype was all about. The whole evening she kept preparing me for it and telling me that I probably wasn't going to like it. I re-assured her that I had no expectations for the movie and I was watching it purely for social value. I just wanted to know what everyone was talking about. I didn't want to waste time reading the book when I could just watch the movie. We got home, got the movie and started it. Here is where my whole stubbornness flipped 180.
I got trapped in the story! I was totally not expecting it- actually I was opposing it, but it happened. Yeah, I know the movie is cheesy and goofy, but I was caught. The next evening Lindsay's sister was coming over for Sunday dinner and she was gracious enough to bring me over book 1 to read. I got 3/4 of the way through it on Sunday evening. I realized Monday that I was not going to be able to wait for all of this trade-off/borrowing stuff so I went to Costco after work and bought the hardcover set. I read like a madwoman all week. This evening, 9 days after I opened the cover to Twilight, I closed the back cover on Breaking Dawn. 9 days and 2379 pages later ( I should really say 7 days because I was camping for the weekend and didn't really read and I worked late on Wednesday and didn't read, but I guess we'll take the actual day count), I can finally say that I have fallen in love with that story. I honestly thought that I'd never admit it, but I am throwing all my pride out the window and saying that I Love TWILIGHT! Edward and Bella- WOW! So, that is it. I know it's shocking, but I'm not afraid to let the world know that I am a vampire lover. Isn't it amazing how quickly things can change! So here is my little shout-out for those books. They are great. My Mom was right. She kept telling me that I was a little brat for refusing to read them- I get what she meant now!
