I haven't been on LJ for a while now but I just have to get this off my chest. It's my secret sin. Well, to me at least it is. I have never quite been the squee fangirl person. Not even when Cin and I had our tug of war over Lestat. Yes, yes, you know where this is leading to.
I couldn't sleep the 22 odd hours in flight. No reason why. Typically, I arranged my flight to be when I am exhausted as hell and all I can do is stuff my clothes into the bags and board the plane. This time, I actually gave me some time to wind down from work stress, argue over what to pack with hubben (he hates it when I pack my whole wardrobe with me when we travel), get all the banking squared of, submit my taxes etc etc. I am guessing that getting relaxed before a flight is a bad idea.
There I was flipping entertainment channels. Getting over my takeoff rush (I LOVE TAKEOFF!!). We agreed to watch a movie together and the least painful one to watch was Twilight. Oh boy! I fell hard for the movie. Cheesey/lame lines aside, I liked the story. So what is a girl to do but watch the movie twice! Eeeeeee......... Edward is so... sexy in a totally fictionally way. I saw the dude playing Edward IRL on megazines etc and he was totally not my type. See... I even rationalize my fan girl squee. Of course... Lestat was my long time fictional crush... Other then Jean March Anderas as some friends like to make fun of my blond blue eyes crush.
So I bought all 4 books in the series. I felt sick.... It's like a sickness... I dislike to writing, it was poorly wrote and book 2 and 3 was stupid as far as I was concerned. I <3 the final installment despite the semi-illogical plot. My main grouse with the book is that the whole saga's "mood swings are kinda giving me whiplash" All in all the Twilight movie was better then book overall in my opinion.
But the movie.... I totally have to buy the movie and moon over it... Sadly it all started with the soundtrack. Ros had it on her shared drived and I copied it to my phone only to be obsessed with the music on the track. OMG! The music is so addictive... It made me thought that the movie would potentially be harmless... Harmless? BAH! BAH!
