Hi Everyone...
Admitting my addiction and joining the thread.
Hi, my name's Julie and I'm a twilightaholic. It started quickly. Everyone kept talking about the book on the DIS so I bought the first two from
amazon to check them out. When the package came, opened it to read the first chapter and see what it was like....3 hours later, finished the book. Placed the order for the other two and read New Moon the next day.
I've converted my sister, about 3 of my friends and my cousin. Went to see the movie with my friend who hadn't read the books and she kept asking if her boyfriend could come to (I said sure but he won't thank you...he thought it was an action movie) and why are we surrounded by tween girls?
In December we had a big layoff at my company and after a stress filled day (I didn't lose my job but a lot of my friends did), I wanted to escape and yes, went to see Twilight again.
I've loaned the books out and miss them. One of my friends took the first two and called me later that week to say...um...can I have the second two? When she picked them up (and she was 8 months pregnant at the time so I felt a little weird giving her Breaking Dawn), she said that it was like they were her friends and she missed them and wanted to see what was going on with them. I told her I understood exactly what she meant.
My cousin emailed me last weekend and told me she finished all the books (she has the first two from me, found the other two at the high school library where she's an English teacher) AND Midnight Sun and had moped around all weekend sad because she wasn't a Cullen. Cute husband, 4 month old baby girl that's adorable, reads almost a book a day and she's asking me if we can start a coven...ha!
I think the PP who said the books are laced with crack is right.
I just ordered the soundtrack and pre-ordered the DVD.
I came across this - Hana Pestle is a local singer who's in the middle of breaking nationally and she is campaigning to have her song Need that she wrote inspired by New Moon on the New Moon soundtrack.
Anyway, thought I'd share...
