Wanna know why I've been away so long??????

Fine. I'll tell you. Here's my dirty little secret.

I knew it would happen because I saw what it did to seemingly rational adults so I resisted the urge to pick up this dirty habit for a really long time. Even while all of the of other addicts were talking about how amazing it is and how they just couldn't quit it and how it took over their lives, I stayed away. I was proud of myself for the restraint I showed. I was smug, arrogant and in hindsight, incredibly stupid.

I thought I was in the clear when all of the hype was just about gone and society was moving on. It crept in one day, the thought that maybe I should try it and see what it was all about. Was I missing out on something major? How could I go through life not experiencing it. Not knowing what everyone was talking about when it was just so easy to be in the know.

I let that momentarly lapse in judgement plant a seed in my head that, in all honesty I don't regret, not even sligthly. It did all of the things I thought it was going to do. All of the things that were making me stay away. It sucked me in, took over my life, I spent the better part of 3 weeks thinking about it and getting my fixes in whenever I had 4 seconds to spare. I fore-went showers, sleep, magazines, workouts and meals just to fit it in.... Now that I'm through the worst of it I can say I was addicted.

So yeah, I'm a Twilight loser junkie and Edward Cullen is every bit as dreamy as every 14 year old girl (and probably as many 40 year old women) in America would have you believe!



I read all 4 books in about 2 weeks. All while juggling a full-time job, a hubby, 2 kids and training for a half marathon. We made it through but we are forever changed ;-).

Alice said...

LOLOL...I have been so proud of you for not going over to the "dark" side, but alas I see that you are only human after all. (Almost)nothing is better than a good read!

Were the books, hopefully, better than the movies?
And have you tried the Christine Feehan 'Dark' Series? Best freakin vamp novels on the planet! And I hate vamp novels.
And have you tried Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels. Some of the best reads on the planet! Hysterically funny and full of action.

the books were better than the movie...that's part of the reason why i picked them up. I saw the first movie first and couldnt, for the life of me, figure out what the hell was so good about it. I said to myself "self the book HAS to be better". I needed them to be better. And they were, slightly. Truth be told it's really all about edward.

Marie said...

LMAO!!!! I haven't read the books but I've seen one of the movies and yes, its all about The Edward. Oh my gosh, if I were a teen-ager I would have LOST MY MIND.

I don't comment, however I browsed a few of the responses on this page "Wanna know why I've been away so
long??????". I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it's okay. Is it simply me or does it give the impression like some of the responses appear as if they are coming from brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing on additional online social sites, I'd like to keep up with everything fresh you have to post. Could you make a list of every one of your public sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
