Three Down, One to Go

I finished the third book in the Twilight series, Eclipse.

This one was just as good as the other two. The difference being that at some points I had to put it down, even if only for a few minutes. I was so mad at 'Bella' at times that I just wanted to shake her! She put her self in terrible situations at times. In the end it hurt her and the two she loves to make a choice, the right choice in my opinion, the one I would have chosen.

The Husband stopped by the store this evening to pick up the last of the series, Breaking Dawn. I know how this one starts, but thats all I know. I cant wait to see how it ends.

And on to the next one

And on to the next one. By that I mean the third.

I read Twilight in 5 days, only two days longer than it took me to read the final Harry Potter. I finished it on Saturday afternoon and was reading the second book about two hours later.

I have never cried more while reading a book than I did New Moon. It is such an emotional story, and it was told extremely well. I could almost physically feel her pain; my heart skipping a beat with hers. I read it in about 22 hours. Only stopping to eat, sleep, pee and snow-blow the drive way.

These books are great. But I’m not going to tell you that I am in love with a 17 year old vampire, I’ll leave that for the more dramatic. I just love the love story, the unconditional love. I don’t know how to adequately explain the way these books make me feel without sounding obsessed or crazy. They’ve touched me.

The Husband and I went to see the Twilight movie this evening. I guess it wasn’t too bad. I wish the acting was a bit better though. I knew what was supposed to be going on in the characters’ minds. The emotional struggle he was going through was depicted well in the book but on the screen, he just looked like he was going to throw up. The love story was not well developed; they just sort of skipped to the professing of their eternal love without all of the falling in love. I guess you could say that I am a bit bummed by it. I wanted it to be better.

On to the third, Eclipse.

admitting

I am almost embarrassed to admit this...

I've been reading Twilight, and I like it.

I feel like I'm betraying Harry Potter.

A few days ago I was browsing around the itunes music store when a song popped into my head. I quickly typed "Domestic Problems" in the search engine and hit enter. I didn't expect the song I wanted to be listed, after all it wasn't this past spring. As I anxiously scrolled through the listed songs I found it. I played the preview (why is it a preview, I'm just listening) and was disappointed, not the version I wanted. Then I sorted the songs by title... there in the list was the title of the song I was looking for, three of them. Three versions of my second favorite song in the world. One of the three listed had that all important word behind it, acoustic. Without hesitation I bought the 6minute and 40second song "Untitled". I was elated, I jumped up and down, I did 'the-happy-white-girl-dance' then I synced my pod. I promptly marched into the living room plugged the pod into the stereo, cranked it up and sang along...twice!

I can tell you the story
battles never won
people standing blindly
out of reach of the sun

And I'm telling you
that I am in love woah
I am in love
I am in love
with a girl that
holds me with her eyes

voices surround me
bicker and i shame(?)
I wish with a passion
why can’t she feel the same

and I'm telling you that
I am in love woah
I am in love
I am in love
with a girl that
holds me with her eyes

trying to be a friend
and maybe that it'll be
I know what i feel inside
please see the beauty in me woah
please see the beauty in me woah
please see the beauty in me...

my heart feels empty
soul shakin' pain
I wish I could hold her
man I lose but I gain

and I'm telling you that
I am in love woah
I am in love
I am in love
with a girl that
holds me with her eyes
and I'm telling you that
I am in love woah
I am in love
I am in love
with a girl that
holds me with her eyes woah
holds me with her eyes woah
holds me with her eyes...

My friend Patti and I would sit in her mom's hot tub and sing our favorite songs. This was one of the songs we would sing often times more than once. I don't remember the first time I heard it or how long I've known it, I just feel that I alway have. I sing it in the shower, I sing it when I shovel snow, rake leaves, or while mowing the lawn. I sing it when I am in a hot tub with or without Patti. I, like Patti, write the lyrics on my note pad rather than doodling. This song is a part of me.

give me another half hour

Just give me another half hour and I've got it figured out.

A friend showed me baby rabies
One of Baby Rabies' favorite listed sites is dooce.
Dooce's husband is Blurbomat. Together they run The Blurbodoocery
Dooce also linked up The Daily Coyote
The Daily Coyote introduced her readers to her grandmother Svensto.

I should point out that Dooce is one of my favorite sites/blogs I read. She is one of the reasons I wanted to start this blog. She has also linked the way to many other sites I check regularly. I'll link them up later.
