Twerd w/ pride and dignity

So after a long battle and much probing from my SIL, i finally jumped on the bandwagon and broke down and watched twilight. I actually put it on, one night when i was sick and thought “hmm i will use this to bore me into unconsciouness so i can sleep. Little did I know, the joke was going to be on me.

2 hours and some odd minutes later i was enthralled. Not to mention, litteraly being on the edge of my bed most of that time.

I am not one for vampire movies. Not really my “scene”. But I was hooked. The very next day i was half way through book 2 (New Moon). and now, 2 days later, I am half way through book 3.

Yes, i am now hooked. Smitten (or bitten i should say) by Edward and the whole story.

Here I am, 32 years old, SCREAMING at my book and yelling hurry. No! Go Back.  Random idiotic things, like the fictional characters can hear me, or let alone know what i want them to do.

I have screamed, thrown down what i was reading. Protested I was not going to pick up and continue cause i was so disgusted over something. Yet, my protest didn’t last. lol

How in the hell a book can captivate me so much is beyond me. I LOVE to read. I will read any book that interests me, and won’t put it down till I am done. But w/ these? I WANT to stop reading, otherwise, i will have read them all, and then what will i do? Its only been 4 days and I am almost done w/the complete saga!

I am hooked. Jumped on the bandwagon that I fought so hard to avoid. Hooked.  Complete failed attempt on my part.

I have been labeled a “twerd” by the one person who tried to get me in this very same place. Laughing at me. She knew all along how I would turn out. Addicted. Joining Team Edward.

I hear a thudnerstorm, I think of the book.

I actually found myself compaing my life, to the life of a fictional one! WTF?! I have to stop! This isn’t healthy!! lmao. Upset when Edward leaves. Upset he don’t come back. Screaming when he is sacrificing himself. On the edge of my seat when Bella is in danger, wanting to cry for joy when he says “lets get married”.. its ridiculous.

But in the end, I am glad that i jumped on and started reading. This movie has officially bumped LOTR out of my #1 spot after years and years.  I never thought anything could top my “Ringer” status. Now, I am a proud dignified Twerd.

I tried, I failed, and I am now.. Living my days in Forks, through the pages of a book so captivating, my 6 year old had to tell me to put it down, come back to the read world and watch regular tv w/ her. What a slap in the face!!! LMAO

Making plans to see the midnight showing of New Moon. Going out tomorrow night to get the midnight release of the DVD when I have already seen it a hundred times.
