I'm in Twilight zone.

I may be the last person to be reading the Twilight saga, and here I am again... a book groupie.  I was like that for the Potter spin-off fanfiction novels and here I am again. 
Let me put this into better perspective.

Edward Cullen = Draco Malfoy

I am drooling at the moment.  I don't think the upcoming movie can match up to the book and how the author described how beautiful Edward is.  Dammit.  Despite that, I will be lining up the cinema when it hits here in Manila.  It sounds like a storm or something but yeah. 
I am one of the millions of girls who fell in love with Edward Cullen.  It's so weird 'coz surely, as gorgeous as Robert Pattinson is, he's just not the type of man I'd picture Edward Cullen to be?  The book discribed him as an Adonis; something like a sculpture of Greek perfection.  OMFG.  I don't think you can find anyone like that in real life.

I bought Twilight last Saturday and finished it on Sunday.  I bought New Moon yesterday, but I sort of paused from it, since I needed to finish some school papers and 'coz I'm pissed!  When is Edward coming back?  I'll be back to reading but I'm so...  Ok, this is the problem when I become another fangirl, I obsess about it.  I'll be on the net trying to find new trailer clips from the upcoming movie.  Which, by the way, sucks since it's going to be shown here by January but it shows in the States by December.  Injustice?!  Yes.

Let's be a little more academic here and I'm going to dissect Stephenie Meyer's writing.  First, I found it a little dragging by the middle part since all there was is cheesiness; too much "I love yous", and kissing, and touching.  The climatic drama happened sort of near the end, you know when you're waiting for something to happen but then there's just nothing and then she piled on to the climax like she was hurrying it up because there needs to be just a specific number of pages to the book?  I don't know?  Like she cramped it up?  No doubt, J.K. Rowling still paces her books well and describes the characters better.  But I'll give kudos to Stephenie Meyer since she built up Edward so much in all the ladies who've read the book.  Although there's a flaw in it, she made him too perfect!  He's beautifully gorgeous, good despite his being a vampire, is in love with a normal common girl(whom all the ladies see as themselves?), and is always there to save the damsel, oh yeah and he's rich.  Wait, that can't be right?  No man will live up to him when someone describes him as utter perfection.  By that also, he's kind of humble about it?  He doesn't know he's drop-dead gorgeous?  No guy in this entire planet is like that.  No guy too is cold as ice and hard as stone.  Ugh.

How come I see Draco in him?  I'm not so sure if everyone has read a Draco/Hermione fanfiction but there's this one fanfiction that I utterly fell in love with.  Sort of the same, Draco described as utter perfection.  He's this rich brooding boy who wants to be on the side of good despite his father nagging on him to be the right hand of evil and he falls in love with a simple girl, far from the girls that his father wants him to date.  Both Edward and Draco loves to make sacrifices, it's like a big thing for them both.  Geddemit.

Ah basta!  I'm in love with them both!  They're like the perfect idea of what a man should be.  With them, chivalry is so not dead!
