Have I become a Twi-hard?

A few years ago, when everyone was all a-buzz about this new movie that was opening called 'Twilight', I was thinking 'oh no please, not another vampire movie...Hollywood has gone bonkers - give me the rusty butter knife NOW'. I had no intention on seeing it and I went about my business. Then 2009 rolled around and the 2nd installment called 'Twilight: New Moon' came out and, again, the scuttlebutt on the street was all about New Moon and who's team are you on? WTF is this? Are you kidding? There's a sequel! Doctor, can you up the dosage, please?

Then this year it happened. My mother was bitten by a damned Cullen named Edward and she, in turn, bit me (not literally)! She watched Twilight on cable, passed the venom on to me and, with the bait on the hook, we needed to see what happened next, of course, New Moon was next (bought it on pay-per-view). In my ignorance, I should have given this beautifully written story by Stephanie Meyer and wonderfully acted by Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, a chance.

So let's count it down. I've seen Twilight AND New Moon about a thousand times (we have added Twilight AND New Moon to our DVD collection). I'm undecided which team I want to join (do I want to live forever as a vampire with Edward or just grow old with Jacob, even though he's a werewolf and could, if he gets pissed, tear me to shreds...friggin' decisions! I'm kind of likin' Jasper and his emotion control even though he, too, could rip my throat out)...I'm listening to a playlist of songs from the Twilight and New Moon soundtrack (I really like Supermassive Black Hole by Muse from Twilight, when they play baseball...see, I knew exactly where this song came in)...Robert Pattinson has grown on me (I even saw Remember Me...it's pretty good with a surprise ending that I was NOT expecting)...I haven't read the books since I've been busy writing my own books but these are now on my MUST READ list and I can't wait...and I'm chomping at the bit to see Eclipse...and then Breaking Dawn, Parts 1 and 2!

So does this make me a Twi-hard? Taking a small line from the song 'Possibility' from New Moon (when Edward leaves Bella and she's sitting in her room looking out the window...camera circles Bella - October...November...December...)...there's a possibility - there's a possibility!
