Twilight ::edit:::::edit2::
Wednesday. 11.26.08 2:53 pm
This is probably the 80 billionth blog entry about Twilight on Nutang. I just started reading it, to prepare myself to go to the movie later on in the week. I have been out of the Twilight loop because of my ridiculous work schedule. I hadn't even watched TV since.... ... ..... the debates?

So far I like it. This girl reminds me of myself in high school, only she is clearly way more mature than I was and a better cook, and I was less of a spazz in gym class. I don't know what about her reminds me of myself... maybe it's how she schedules time for herself to feel depressed.

Lord knows there has been more than one boy who has driven me into the absolutely ridiculous state of distraction that Edward seems to induce in Bella.
I was just lucky that these neither of those boys were vampires.

OR WERE THEY?!?!!!?

The other book I just read (on the plane) was "The Incredible Shrinking Man" which was written by the same guy who wrote "I am Legend". This book was about none other than a shrinking man, who woke up every morning 1/7" shorter than the day before. The best part is that you can totally imagine the author sitting around in his cellar thinking about you would see every object differently depending on how progressively small you were. A spider would start as an annoyance and then escalate into a lethal threat as each day passed. A lawn chair would be a nice place to sit, and then a convenient ladder, until it was an impossibly irregular cliff face. Each day you would curse yourself for not thinking ahead and taking measures to help the smaller version of yourself who would come along later.
I would recommend this book to middaymoon except for it has several scandalous parts in it and whenever I recommend books to people and then remember that they have scandalous parts in them I get very worried that they'll think, "And just why did she think I would want to read this FILTH!?"

I swear it's just because of the mind-bendiness of it all.

...back to Twilight.


::EDIT:: One of them was definitely a vampire.
::EDIT2:: Having reached the end of the book, I see that there are very important ways in which I am not like Bella at all.

Haha
I loled at the "OR WERE THEY???" Good stuff because I can imagine that in a cheesy B-movie about a vampire detective or something. You would be good at that.

My girlfriend watched the Twilight movie and, although she argues that she has not joined the Edward Cullen fanbase, she clearly has fallen in love with him...which I don't understand at all, and not just because I'm a dude, but because EVERYONE is in love with him! I don't get it. Maybe I'm jealous.

Oh and I think it was you who asked if she was on Nutang. The answer is: yes, but she doesn't update her site. No stalking for you!

woah now u got the twilight fever too...

I love Twilight!
Ok so vamps are kinda sexy as long as they don't try to kill you. Yes the poem was mirroring a situation in my life. There is this guy I really like, but he thinks I am too young and (I think) he thinks I want him for what he's got and not who he is on the inside.

I'm glad someone on Nutang actually likes Twilight.

I don't think it's a masterpiece or anything, but dammit if it isn't so much fun to escape to! I'm not "in love" with Edward Cullen (even though it's totally exciting that his name IS Edward because that's my boyfriend's name) but I'm definitely totally infatuated with Robert Pattinson, the guy that plays Edward. Those cheekbones, that hair...

Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy the series! I'm halfway through the third one and can't wait to see what happens.

I wonder which Twilight Chloefoxx is talking about, the movie or the book.

I'm not going to watch the Twilight movie cause I think it's overrated. The trailer doesn't look good and it's going to turn out not worth my money. Plus I'm not a fan of Rob Pat and I don't think he's hot enough to be Edward Cullen.

The book is awesome. Have fun reading it!

I started reading Twilight.
Then I stopped. I don't do that often.
I simply couldn't get into it because I didn't like Bella. I read a few chapters into it and she just agitated me from page one. If I don't care about the main character then there's no way for me to keep reading. Reading starts becoming a chore if I feel that the main character isn't a good character.
