I am learning that it is very difficult to blog while watching Star Trek (the new movie -- not that old stuff). So much for multi-tasking. It's just a little more distracting than Milo and Otis. It may have to wait until the weekend...too much to do.
So in other total geekdom news, I may or may not want to see the new Twilight movie. Okay fine, so I totally do want to see it. In an impulse Kindle purchase (I was in a plane and had to choose quickly before they closed the doors) I bought Twilight. Despite being among the most poorly written books I have ever read in my life -- including my own book "Crystals are Clear" which I wrote in 3rd grade for the Young Author's Fair -- I could not put it down. In the next week, I read all four of the Twilight books.
I don't know that I really enjoyed reading them -- I would regularly quote parts of it out to Jamie or complain about stupid characters (the main ones). But I could not stop. Now that this movie is coming out, I am battling between my guilty desire to see it and the cringeworthy thought of seeing it in a movie theater full of screaming and/or crying tweens.
Jamie suggests I go (without him) to the late night showing, but I feel that crowd may be even worse. I take a small amount of joy and justification in knowing that President Obama also read Twilight. Sure he has a 13 year-old daughter to read it with...

oh Melissa, you should see it with me!! hahaha...I'm not kidding at all. I have a story similar to yours in that I grudgingly experienced the first one (via my friend's twin teenage sister-in-laws) and then became totally invested in spite of myself. A few of my friends were suckered in with me but they've all since moved. I think we should swallow our pride and indulge in that tween-fest together.
Jamie can confirm that I was secretly hoping you would say that. It's on.
:-) perfect. just name a day. ....haha and holy mother of fanatacism your post from today is both horrifying and hilarious.
I also got totally suckered into the books. My head is still hanging a bit in shame. But I figure at least all the other women in the world are with me on this one. :)
