My Super Secret Twilight Obsession
My sister kept bugging me to read the Twilight series. "I don't like vampires", I told her. It's not really about that she shot back. I really wasn't in the mood but finally one day I was bored so I picked up a copy at Target. I was hooked. I finished the whole 500 pages by noon the next day. The next day my older son was doing a class presentation and I sat there impatiently waiting for it to end so I could buy the next book. I ran to Target and promptly bought the remaining three books. My younger son couldn't understand why I was throwing so many large books into the carriage at once. I finished the series in less than a week. After finishing I felt agitated, lost. I didn't know what to do with myself. So I've reread all four books. I've also read the unfinished fifth online book. I've read a fan fiction version of a continuation of the series. I've watched the movie several times. I don't let me husband know how far my obsession has taken me. I bought a mug with twilight quotes for myself and my sister. (shes just as obsessed) I became a fan of Twilight on facebook. It really has gone on too long but I just don't know how to break my addiction. My kids have an inkling of how far overboard I have gone. My 5 year old said to me the other day, "Is this Twilight music?" Yes I replied since I listen to the soundtrack over and over again in the car. He then said, "Do we only have Twilight music?" I need to move on but I worry that in some way I need this to make my days go by a little easier. I assume at some point I will move on. Until then I will keep this my dirty little secret. You won't tell will you?
