OK.  So I admit I may be a little slow at getting with the times but now that I have been reading the Twilight books I’m completely hooked.  I never got to see the movie in the theaters even though I always wanted to and hadn’t read the books either.  For Valentine’s Day, Rob thought it would be a good idea for me to read the first of the Twilight books before the movie release at the end of March.  Little did he or I know that once I started reading, I wouldn’t be able to put it down.  It took me a couple weeks to pick the book up and get started but in just a week and a half, I was done and wanting more.  For my birthday, Rob got me the entire boxed set (yes, now I have two copies of the first book) and in less than a week I’ve finished another one.  I get started and just can’t stop.  I sneak off all the time to catch just a page or two and before I know it I’ve read an entire chapter.  This weekend I will start Eclipse, the third book and try desperately to slow down so I don’t finish it too quickly.

Now that I’m hooked, I just can’t get enough.  I have Twilight wall papers on my computer, cell phone and iPod Touch.  I got Twilight key chains a couple nights ago and almost bought a shirt.  The craziest thing though is I’m actually going to a midnight release party tomorrow (3/20/09) at Border’s in the mall so I can be one of the first to get a DVD.  I didn’t plan ahead though and forgot to reserve a copy so I may have to wait till I can find it elsewhere tomorrow but its OK.  It’ll be fun to play trivia games and such and see how much I really know about the series.  I’ve never gone to anything like this before.  Never done a midnight book/DVD release.  Never gone to see the midnight showing of a movie.  Never…. although that will change when Transformers comes out this summer (Rob’s obsessive movie).  Rob is so patient when it comes to the Twilight stuff now.  I just explain it to him that it is my Transformers . . . lol

Just one last thing . . . I only hope this poster is a good representation of the movie.  I love Edward’s eyes in this photo.  I only hope they are this beautiful and golden in the movie.  They are just like I pictured them when I was reading the book even before I saw this photo.
