Twilight fever


Well I finally did it, I guess I got curious. When I first heard about the Twilight series I had absolutely no desire to read a vampire story at all. Any vampire stories that I had had to read for school or whatever was just gross and all about sex and just not what I wanted to sit down and read, so I wasn’t going to read the Twilight books. I couldn’t believe the hype that came with the books and when the movie came out it was crazy. Well after it had been on DVD for a bit Jake’s mom wanted to watch it. Jake watched it and got me to watch it with him. It actually wasn’t half bad, infact the movie made me want to learn more about the story. I borrowed the books and loved the story. It was a very easy read and was nice to just fall into after some stressful events had occurred at our house. I think the thing I loved most was that Edward is such a gentleman. It made more sense to me for him to be oldfashioned and chivalrous and thinking back to the time periods, shouldn’t other vampire stories have been just as gentlemanly? As I stated before I enjoyed the series, and even though the movie had some cheesy parts, it got me interested in the books. I guess I did it backwards by watching the movie first, but maybe that was better so that I couldn't complain that Rob Pattinson didn't look like "My Edward" or whatever the complaints might have been. Instead of focusing on what my characters looked like i could focus more on the story.

Jake was making fun of the movie:

“Jessica did I ever tell you you are like my own little drug, specifically heroine”

He interrupted me and with such a serious face said, “Jessica.” I thought he was concerned over something so I asked him what and he responded, “I am afraid if I bit you I wouldn’t be able to stop.” Talk about a big eye roller. What a dork.

I didn't get into the books until the week before the movie came out in theaters and I read all 4 in like 5 days. It was nuts! My husband joked "Crystal, I'm sure there's a Twilight Annonymous you could go to and get help for this reading addiction you've got." :) Haha.
