I am writing this blog with full awareness of the embarassment I may suffer from actually publishing this to the internet, blog reading public (aka the few friends of mine who care enough to read this.) I believe there is a pre-pubescent girl in all of us so called grown ups and I fully intend to never lose her. So as an ode to my inner teeny bopper, I'm giving her free reign of my blog today.
I really love the Twilight series! Not only is the story of Bella & Edward a very endearing love story but the books themselves are extremely well written. I think it's a huge accomplishment as an author to write a book that appeals to tweens, teens, young adults and adults all over the world. My mom loved the books as much as I did and the 12 year old daughter of my hair dresser is just as obssessed as we are. And I'll admit it, I have joined the parade of girls with raging crushes on Edward Cullen, everyone's favorite vampire.
Primarily, I have found this book comforting. It's my nightly security blanket. For an hour I'm able to slip into a fantasy world and take part in a relationship that I could only dream of having for myself one day. Stephanie Myers created a character with the exact qualities a girl of any age would look for in a male companion. Vampire or not, Edward Cullen is caring, thoughtful, protective and exudes just the right amount of mystery. My love life has been a little lackluster lately so it's been nice to be taken away from that for awhile.
The movie was amazing as well and Rob Pattinson may just be my new John Krasinski. I don't think I'll be naming my next dog after him but he's definitely celebrity crush worthy.
So to any and all of you who haven't yet read these books, I highly recommend it. Go see the movie, and if you're a girl, don't resist your swooing. It's totally OK to be in love with a fictional character. :)
Oh, and download "Never Think" by Rob Pattinson. It's a beautiful song. It brings the swoons (especially when you're feeling particularly swoon-less and hopeless that a once in a lifetime romance may never come your way).
That's all for my inner 15 year old. I'm putting her to sleep in her New Kids on the Block sheets now.
