My biggest confession: I have two copies of the series. My original series was purchased all at once, so Twilight & New Moon were paperback; Eclipse and Breaking Dawn were hardcover. My copy of Twilight got a grease spot from my attempt to eat breakfast without putting it down. I bought it in hardcover to replace the damaged copy, then, not wanting to hurt New Moon's feelings, I did the same for it. Eclipse suffered a tear on one page during a trip to Galveston; not wanting to wait for tape, I literally drove to the nearest bookstore and bought a copy. By that time, I thought, why not buy a copy of Breaking Dawn to round out the set?
I also downloaded the movie on iTunes and pre-ordered the DVD in January.

Dear Deb:
ReplyDeleteI keep reading the Twilight books! I'll put them down for a few days and then I find myself picking them up again and snacking - reading my favorite bits in no particular order. What's wrong with me? Any help would be appreciated.
Mom
Wrong with you? Help? Sounds like you're right on track to me! :D
ReplyDeleteI "snack" like that with the movie. It's on my computer (and my iPod and the DVD player, don't judge me) so I can just cue up a scene and watch a few minutes or so. And, yes, I occasionally watch scenes other than the kiss, thank you...
ReplyDeleteYou can't watch just the kiss, because then you'd never get to giggle at "you can google it." :)
ReplyDeleteWhen Alex and I were making vacation plans, I might have "jokingly" suggested Washington...
Also, as obsessed as we are, we could be worse. We could spend the whole day watching the Forks webcam... http://www.forksweb.com/cam2/
Ok, do I see a 12 step program coming? I need one, I think, because now I'm going to check out the Forks webcam.
ReplyDeleteSorry!
My work here is done :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a relief. I have felt so alone in my addiction. I have read the whole series three times and keep going back to my favorite places. I think about Bella and Edward. I worry about myself.
ReplyDeleteI was totally obsessed with the series when I first read it and I still go back and reread it. It's very compelling. I worry about msyelf, too, because I'm a wife and mom and teacher and shouldn't be this wrapped up in a book, but I am.
ReplyDeleteI think it's the characters. For me, they're very vivid. I genuinely care about them.
Does anyone else ever obsess about how *you* would have dealt with a situation in a book?
I admit, the breakup scene in New Moon obsessed me for days; I had all of these things *I* would have said or done if Edward was breaking up with me to keep him from leaving. Sigh....
I'm following all the fake twitter accounts for Rob Pattinson....just in case once might really be him.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention getting tweets from every Twilight fan group out there- most of the time I follow their links to news stories.
The only Twilight temptation I resisted was buying the T-shirt when wal-mart had their DVD release party. But I have went back several times to look for it.
Thanks for making me think my obsessions are totally "normal!"
I have the series in hardback... all the books about the movie... I've watched the movie nearly every day since it came out... I preorded it on my Ipod... I went to a midnight release party... I wear my Cullen Crest shirt to make me happy...I saw it 14 times in the theater...
ReplyDeleteAnd I think I am perfectly normal!

ReplyDeleteSpelling mistakes for Africa - thats why i deleted the post :)
ReplyDeleteI dont know if you think this is strange or not, but,
I prefer to watch the commentary (with Catherine Hardwicke, Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson). Its Hilarious. And i always find myself laughing. Its a good break from the actual movie. :]
