Past Addiction

Last December I did something I said I would never do. Not only that, but I teased other people for doing it. I started just so I could see what all the fuss was about, and what do you know….I got hooked. Even then, I was embarrassed and ashamed. I hid my addiction from my children, and tried to hide it from my husband. D is smart and he figured it out. It was one of my clandestine trips to the library that set him off. Fortunately, I am over it now, that is to say that I am done. My addiction, you ask? Even now, months after finishing, I am ashamed to type these words….the Twilight Novels.
Okay, now you know. Tease me, I am still teasing myself. I read through them quickly, by neglecting almost every other thing in my life. Kids…..”What?! You need to eat again?” Laundry …. “Wear the ones from yesterday” Dishes….. “It looks clean to me”
Now I’ve not seen the movies, but you’d have to be living in a box somewhere not to know the actors that play the roles. But for the purpose of this comparison we are using only the book descriptions.
Edward:
Cold
Sparkly
Well-dressed
Immortal
Looks like a teenager

Jacob:
Warm
Tall
Muscular
Semi-immortal
Looks like a man

Seems pretty clear-cut to me. Jacob is the winner, folks. I find nothing at all attractive about a cold, sparkly boy. Now a warm, muscular man on the other hand……….
I have no plans to see the movies, because, as usual with books turned to movies, they interfere with the images in my mind, and frankly I’d like to keep those. I also won’t read them again, they weren’t that good.
