Darn Novel!

OK, first, I am not a blogger... Not really. And I really don't read that much... Not something I do obsessively. . . Not really. So who is the one to blame for this? Who do I blame for this torture? Oh, yeah! That would be the mother of the Sea Monkeys! And I don't even like Vampires!!!!! I'm not Goth. -Never have been. Blood freaks me out! Those kind of people freak me out... How can they wear all that black and live like they are so depressed? I fight depression enough on my own without having to add looking like ?I am dead?

OK, so hear is my confession... I am obsessed about a book about... Vampires (Twilight series by Stephanie Meyers) http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilight.html ! So, they are "Vegetarian Vampires", meaning they don't drink human blood. Eeeewwwww! Blood drinkers period grouses me out! But I am in-love with this book series! I am in-love with the characters. - But they aren't even real and never could be real.

I can not believe I have to wait until August for the next book. That is so not fair! I want to know what is going to happen. I find myself speculating about what will happen. Is Edward really going to keep up his end of the deal? Will we get to hear about Bella living in the first few years as a vampire? What is going to happen with Jacob? Will Jacob stay as a Werewolf and come back to be Bella's "pet" just so he can be loved by her? Will Jacob find his true love?

And for those who may question, I am still mad at Jacob for being so ruthless to Bella. She is insecure enough as it is. The was a nasty trick to pull on her. And for her to see how her life with him would be and then to have that draw of their children... Completely unfair. I do like Edward more for Bella. When he left, I was mad at him for a while... But he is back now.

OK, I am completely lame. These people don't even exist! I have enough of a soap opera life without having to dwell on any characters in a book. Why is it that this stupid book has its grasp on me the way it does? I am going to end up in 5 more years of therapy just to figure out why I am so obsessed with this book.

So, I am hoping people who have read this book will engage in conversation about it and hopefully we can all find out the reason for its draw. Yeah, hearing that the mother of the Sea Monkeys read the first book 8 times, I think she has issues, too. ;) And being that we are sisters, does that make the issues genetic? Is it our upbringing? Our mother read it, does she have obsession issues with it?

I finished eclipse tonight. I stayed up till 3 this morning trying to finish it... Then I slept till noon and had to rush to get to the BBQ we were supposed to be at then. Do I go back and read all 3, again? Will that help? I have Stephanie Meyers new book The Host. I am afraid of it being a disappointment after the vampire stories.

So, can vampires be fat? Is that my obsession with it? Do I want to secretly be a vampire so that I can have that perfect body? Ugh! I want that body! AND I want to cool feeling. I hate to be hot. And, the whole preference to vampires over werewolves, is that along the lines of my preference of cats over dogs? Being that the vampires are more cat like? I would love to be a cat! I like how flexible they are.

I could totally see my son being Edward. The Little Man has such a complex about being small, when I wish that I had that child's energy and metabolism. At 8 years old, he already has a 6 pack and can eat whatever he wants. He thinks he isn't strong because he is small and has zero fat on his body. It is all muscle!

Maybe my obsession with this book has to do with relating to the characters and wanting to be more like them... I can not reproduce with my body. Any children I have will be adopted... I can understand that love that happens without having to have the same genetics or giving birth/life.

OK, this is getting a little out of control for the first post in a blog and not being a blogger.. ;)
