Twilight




Hi, I am Susan..and I am a Twilight junkie...I am really not sure when it happened..when I became completely consumed by an adolescent romance novel..but, let me tell you my life has taken a serious pause..Christmas decorations were put up late..dinner was late..often..I have read at stoplights, ballet lessons, swimming class, car lines..Even took to screening calls...I have become completely anti social..

Katie, coined the term, Twilight orphans..and I would have to agree..

I would gush to Shane about the love language Edward spoke to Bella..things like..

"For almost ninety years I’ve walked among my kind, and yours… all the time thinking I was complete in myself, not realizing what I was seeking. And not finding anything, because you weren’t alive yet."

"Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars–points of light and reason... And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything"

and "Don't be self-conscious," he whispered in my ear. "If I could dream at all, it would be about you. And I'm not ashamed of it.."


There is something about a love story..a story where the hero is flawed and a tortured soul..where the couple shouldn't be together..but, you are cheering for them..because they are meant to be together..

I along with a million other 12 year olds love this book.. A story where chivalry is still alive and not as a pick up line...and where the main character has such darkness inside him that he has to fight it off every day.. and he does it with such dignity...

I saw this button at Barnes and Noble..when buying the last book...and it made me smile..



Amen, sister.

Susan...it goes without saying, I, too, am a Twilight-holic! I love everything about Edward and the romance. Because of Edward, I now have raised my expectations of what a good boyfriend should be! :)
