OK, I have a confession…. I am a 43yr old woman who is obsessed with Twlight. I mean very obsessed, to the point of major obsessiveness.
In the fall, I was wondering what all the hoop-la was about when Twlight, the movie came out. I didn’t have time to check it out and just forgot about it.
Over Christmas, I needed a distraction from a very busy daytime schedule. So, I was in Target and decided to picked up Twlight and see what it was all about. Well that was it!! I read it in two days- staying up late- finding every spare moment to read. It was intoxicating- I loved Vampires!!
Well, I had to get the second book- New Moon- now!!! Went to Target- out of stock- Walmart- out of stock- Kmart- out of stock. Meanwhile, this was all in one night. Finally, it was 9 o’clock and I remembered the book store. I drove there just in time. The clerk was locking the door and I pleaded with him,”It will take me one minute- I know what I want.” The clerk must have seen the crazed look on my face and he let me in. Yes, this was a very low and desperate moment in my life- but nonethless necessary for my sanity.
I bought the third and fourth book while I was at it- not wanting to go through that rig-a-ma-roll again. I finished all four books in two weeks- very satisified with all four, particularly the ending. But my obsession didn’t end with that. I had missed the movie at the theatre and had to wait until March for the DVD- Yikes!
By this time, the Twlight actors were all over the media and in magazines. I found myself Googling Robert Pattison, who plays Edward, the lead character. He is 22yrs old- young enough to be my son. I even bought GQ Magazine becase he was on the cover ( telling my husband it was for him). I knew I was over the top when I picked up Tiger Beat (a teen magazine) to find out the gossip. Bought it-read it and gave it to my 9yr old daughter.
Twlight-DVD FINALLY came out! I rented it and than HAD TO buy it. I have watched it about 5 times- analyzing every detail and comparing it to the book.
See, I am certifiably obsessed- hopefully not the only one. I know there are other ”Twlighters”out there. Tell me your story!!
Your not crazy or alone, I am obsessed too … I have read all the books all last year after I saw the first movie and was hooked. I have spent hours on google and youtube looking at videos,pictures, and interviews of Robert Pattinson …it gets addicting and quite ridiculous. I am 22 years old and my boyfriend thinks I’m absolutley crazy. I feel I am too old to like this stuff but it is so good…and only one more month till Newmoon! Yay
i think i love it more but i am 14 and i think that is the right age to like it……….team edward!!!!!!
