It all started about two hours ago when I googled "forks washington." My intent was to catch a glimpse of the vampire haven that my imagination lives in these days; Forks, Washington, has become my imagination's home-away-from-home of sorts. Turns out that Forks is quite hospitable, as it has provided the inner workings of my mind with endless hours of vampire-human-love-story fantasies (even after I finished the books).
All it took was a few clicks of the mouse away from the home page of Forks and I was hopelessly lost in everything that is Twilight... photo galleries, media clips, blogs, news updates... and I shamelessly indulged in all of it for two hours. While I do not feel the slightest twinge of guilt, I am starting to feel something else... feelings I have suppressed since I gave up my obsession with Hanson when I was 13. Of course, I can't really compare this to Hanson. No... Hanson was too immature, too fleating, too... blonde. This new obsession is much more mysterious, more haunting, more romantic. And it's not really an obsession. It's more like an indulgence into the part of me that will always be 17, the part of me that would rather write stories than cook dinner, the part of me that still believes in fairy tale love. Having experienced it myself (minus the intense bloodlust and inter-species complications), I feel somewhat connected to the story of Bella and Edward. So it may not be an obsession after all, but I'm not gonna lie: Twilight rocks my world.

This cracks me up! My sister-in-law is just as "obsessed" with the series. It's all she talks about. I read the first two, but I never really got into them like most people and I'll probably never read the others. But I totally know the feeling of loving a book and its characters so much that you'd rather write stories than make dinner. :)
can i sign my name at the end of this post too? hahaha....i also have spent HOURS on the computer watching different trailers for the movie, renting movies that the actors are in, etc. Matt makes fun of me but I wish I was Bella! lol.
I'm so there with you girl. I love Edward and just finished Breaking Dawn the other day. It's amazing. I love all the characters-they pretty much consume my thoughts right now. I need help.
HeeHee I'm right in the middle of Breaking Dawn and no matter how much David makes fun of me, I'm loving it.
