Twihard

Harry Potter is a juvenile franchise that has sucked in many people, young and old, over the last several years. I chose to NOT be part of this fan club, mainly thanks to my mother. I did however, watch the movies, and enjoy them, but never ever wanted to read the books. My mother is OBSESSED with Harry Potter. She talks about the characters as if they are her friends, and she's known them forever and was with them every step of the way as they grew into the young adults they are. When the Twilight frenzy started, I adamantly denied having anything to do with it. ANYTHING. No movie watching, no magazine reading, definitely no book reading. My sister in law, or, no, still sister in law.....fell victim to the Twilight frenzy, and I constantly made fun of her, until, she came home with a poster of Edward. Beautiful, beautiful Edward Cullen, or Robert Pattinson, who actually isn't that attractive as a mere human. Wizard, slightly attractive. Vampire, makes me feel like what I think menopause is going to feel like....hot, confused, lost, horny. What the hell is it about vampires that makes us girls get all crazy? I never really was into vampires and shit before this. And, to be honest, I still am not really into it. I started watching True Blood, but to be truthfully honest, it's actually a really good show, nothing to do with the vampires. Anyway, Twilight............I read the first book. I read it in a week. The fastest I ever read a book. I read New Moon right away, then Eclipse, then Breaking Dawn. And, I can't get enough of this shit. The movie Twilight is a terrible movie I know. Really really shitty. Very bad direction, not that great acting, not very well written, etc etc, BUT, for some stupid fucking reason, I've watched it more times than any other movie besides Toy Story and Mean Girls. I consider myself a sane, educated, and intellectual person, and pride myself in learning from my mother's mistakes. So why the hell is it that every time I turn around, I am becoming more and more like her????? Why the fuck have I become some spaced out retard high on Twi-crack? I can't watch enough interviews, look at enough pictures, watch enough trailers and teasers and read enough tabloids about these fuckers Kristen, Rob and Taylor. I even watched Much on Demand the other day. Much on Demand!!!!! Oh my god! And you always hear, that insane people don't know they're insane, so I need to ask, am I crazy? AM I? I just need to hear another intellectual, well educated, older than 25 year old is obsessed as much as I am, is excited as much as I am for New Moon. I need them to tell me that I'm okay, that I am not my mother, that I am not a Twihard, or Twimom (stupidest name ever), and tell me it's okay to like something so juvenile, because it makes me feel like a kid, and its okay to lose yourself in a world of fantasy every once in a while.............I'm okay. I'm not crazy.
