Sorry everyone for not blogging for a while but I've been crazy busy with my classes this last week.
Let's get back to Twilight. I think everyone by now knows about the upcoming Twilight Film which comes out on November 21st. Keep your calendars marked!! I am so excited about this movie. Although I have seen Trailers of the movie since September, the other day I was watching Gossip Girls and actually saw the Twilight Trailer on the WB, WooHoo! I actually screamed when I saw it because I was so excited. From the many trailers I have seen it looks like it will be pretty accurate to the book.
When reading a book I always fantasize about what the characters look like and their voices. When I first saw the actors that were playing the Twilight characters I was unsure about a few. Robert Pattinson is playing Edward Cullen and I was ok with that because I think he is so HOT. Kristen Stewart is playing Bella, her appearance to me is pretty much right on but her voice is throwing me off. I don't know what it is but I don't like her voice. Taylor Lautner is playing Jacob Black. I am not a fan of who they picked to play Jacob because all I can envision him as is Shark Boy from the "The adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl." I also am not a fan of Elizabeth Reaser who will be playing Esme Cullen. She played Rebecca on Grey's Anatomy and I couldn't stand her.

On this post I want to hear everyone's opinions about the Twilight Movie Trailer and the actors playing our favorite Twilight characters.

Edward vs. Jacob
Sorry I didn't post yesterday but I was so tired and couldn't function correctly.
So I thought about not bringing this topic up until later but I am really excited to hear all the different opinions out there about what "Team" people are on, Edward or Jacob.
Personally I am a total Edward fan. Not once did I have an attraction to Jacob. I think the reason I was Team Edward is because he reminded me a lot of my boyfriend Andrew. When I started to read these books I had just lost Andrew to cancer and I felt lost myself. Reading about the Edward character reminded me of Andrew because they both were mysterious men. Like Stephanie Meyer describes Edward, my Andrew was very chivalrous, always opening doors for me, always polite and putting me first. Like Edward would say to Bella, Andrew would also say when we first started to date it was bad for us to get close, obviously not because of being a vampire, but because of his monster Cancer. But like Bella I wouldn't give up and I saw only this beautiful being, flawless. Instantly, Edward became my favorite and Jacob didn't exsist to me.
To me Jacob simply was the best friend. I could only see him as that. I respected him when he was there for Bella when Edward left but I understood the reason Edward left. Jacob always seemed very immature to me.
I know a lot of people think that Edward was a bit possessive and there were defintely parts in Eclipse when it seems that way. After reading Midnight Sun on Stephanie Meyer's website I think you can understand a little more clearly why Edward was like that. He simply loved Bella more then anything. I also thought of it this way.... If I had a boyfriend who had a best friend and that best friend was in love with my boyfriend I would be a little jealous about that too. Jacob wasn't really subtle about his pursuit of Bella either. I didn't hate Jacob, I just didn't find him attractive.
Ok, so there is my opinion on the whole Edward vs. Jacob topic. I am really excited to hear the different opinions out there especially the Team Jacobs. Maybe I will understand what the appeal to him is a little more.

Twilight Addiction
Hello Twilight fans!
I know I said I would never write on this blog again but over the course of the last couple months I have got intrigued by a series of books known as the "Twilight Saga," by Stephanie Meyer. There are 4 books published, the first "Twilight," second "New Moon," third "Eclipse," and the fourth, "Breaking Dawn." Stephanie Meyer has also posted 264 pages of a mirrored book of Twilight called "Midnight Sun."
The "Twilight Saga" is a story about a normal teenage girl, Bella, who moves to Forks, Washington to live with her father and Bella ends up falling in love with a vampire Edward. When I first heard about these books I thought it sounded ridiculous but after the first chapter of Twilight I was hooked. I recommended the book to a few people and then continued my addiction with the other 3 books. I never read a series that fast. After recommending the book to a few people I found that they were all getting addicted as well.
To me, I started to read "Twilight" during a really difficult time. I was able to consume myself in these books to keep my mind busy. I got wrapped up in the fantasy of being Bella. It was a good distraction for me and almost like therapy.
Other discussions to follow: Edward vs. Jacob....But we will get to take in a different post. :)
So with this first post I would like to discuss what is the appeal of "Twilight" to others that have read it and why do you think it's so addicting??
