Curse you, damned vampire!

Ok, I gave in to peer pressure. I wasn't going to do it. I had no intention of doing it. I had no interest in it, but I caved in to follow the crowd and bought Twilight this weekend. Saturday, to be exact. And I finished it this afternoon. W-O-W.

I have absolutely no interest in vampire books, movies or the like. I'm not into any of that supernatural, sci-fi stuff, but I couldn't stop myself. I stayed up til midnight last night and then up again at 5 a.m. this morning because I couldn't wait to read what was going to happen. Edward made my knees weak and gave me butterflies in my gut. I felt 16 again, the feelings you used to get when you'd catch "him" out of the corner of your eye, see him looking at you... that first love/lust. Again, this is not normally my type of novel - I keep saying that because I'm just dumbstruck that I got so into this book and actually liked it. Then do you know what those evil book publishers did? They put the first chapter of the next book in the series at the end, just to give you a little taste of it. And of course I read it- which I shouldn't have- because now I will obsess about getting the 2nd book and then spend the next 2 days doing nothing but reading that one!

We're going to see the movie this weekend, Alex and I. I know the movie won't do the book justice, but I can't help myself.
