Hi I'm Team Edward...and I'm a Twihard. "Hi Team Edward"

*delete random rant*...why I even try to be creative...it's beyond me....

I am Team Edward...and I'm a recent convert to the stupid Twilight Saga.  I remember I want to say it was something like 2005 and I was all like "NO I WILL NOT READ HARRY POTTER I WILL NOT READ HARRY POTTER" and then ABC Family had one of the really bad movies on and I was all like DANG IT I'M SUCKED INTO HARRY POTTER.  I HATE YOU ALL.  I've read all the books...multiple times...I've seen and own all the movies...I MAY have been at Barnes and Noble to get the last book at midnight when it came out.  Yep I'm that guy.  Now if you'll flash forward with me its 2010...and I'm all like "NO I WILL NOT READ TWILIGHT I WILL NOT READ TWILIGHT" and its like...I never learn my lesson...Why am I so resistant to pop culture...why do I fight it.  Maybe I'd have more superficial surface friends if I just embraced the fact that I like Lady Gaga and mass produced books written to sell merchandise and YES I WANT A LIFE SIZE CUT OUT OF ROBERT PATTINSON THAT IS SOLD ON NORDSTROM ONLINE.  Maybe I'll buy it with Septembers triple points...and let the bebes figure out why theres a paper man stairing at her while shes changes dollys diaper.  

Now...I've invested a great deal of brain power into this new fad of mine...and it doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon and seriously lets just take a moment and talk about the books.  I'm not all that impressed with them.  They are really poorly written.  BUT how on earth do they suck you in.  Every 3-4 pages theres a funny line that actually has me laughing out loud which just makes me seem freaky to those around me but...whatever...I'm just not very impressed with the books.  So I'm not sure how or why I got sucked in but here I am...confused and NOT alone.  

Apparently my 20 something married with a kid, had a super annoyingly classic not so annoyingly classic high school experience is OBSESSED with teenagers...and NO I'm not obsessed with all teenagers because 1. they are annoying and 2. that would be creepy....oh and 3. its annoying to stalk creepy people. I just really don't remember high school being so cool.  As previously discussed I have no interest in going to high school reunioins...none at all.  I see all these people on Facebook everyday and am updated instantaniously on their lives.  I dont need to reunion with them to see what's happened promise.  (I just used reunion as a verb...get over it please).  So why do I like these teenagers?  Why am I so into this?  Lets hash it out...maybe I can wrap my brain around it as well.  

1. The Bella-Edward relationship makes me love my husband a lot.  I think I imagine that we are them.  Except wow are we not.  But for some reason in my fabulous imaginary head they make sense to me.  Not that Dave isn't great cause he is...but he's no Edward.  I don't really think guys like Edward are out there...that nice combination of stalker, want to bite you, sexy, romantic, guy who lets you be who you are...not sure if hes around....but I like him.  Also lets be honest I'm not Bella...I might be Kristen Stewart when shes off camera and looks mad all the time (on purpose?)...that might be me...but I'm still not that skinny....no do I own that many pairs of shoes and short dresses.  

2. I don't understand the Jacob attraction...I mean...hes cute...but hes 19..so I won't say more about that cause EW.....but his character demands so much of Bella...he just seems whiney...he says what he wants...hes open and honest I gotta love the communication...but then he puts all these requests on Bella...Edward doesn't do that.....as much.

3. Edward lets her be friends with Jacob...where as Jacob wants her to just be with him....which we come to find out the weirdness of all of that in the 4th book...but anyway...See Edward 'really' cares for her cause he finally learns to let her be and do what she wants where as Jacob keeps pulling...so in the end...Edward would have to win...and he does...

4.  I'm apparently DYING to see what Bella looks like as a vampire...and I'm really weirded out to see how they pull off the 4th film with marriage, pregnancy, birth, young(er) love, etc etc...the book BARELY makes me okay with all of it...and that was just me using my limited imagination.

I'm assuming that this rant isn't going to have a cohesive and coherent ending so lets just say...I'm pretty sure I'm FINALLY going to see the 3rd movie tomorrow night...and I'm more than a little excited.....and that life size cutout is in the mail.......no thats a lie...Dave would kill me if I bought that....
