So I decided that I wouldn’t read the books or watch the movies because I’m way too cool to get all excited about something that teenage kids and their mothers are freaking out about.. WRONG. So wrong! So I finally got over myself and started to read Twilight.. and I liked it! A LOT!

Within about 2 weeks starting to read Twilight, I had worked my way through all 4 books. With no more Twilight to read, I started reading Milton’s Paradise Lost.. I’m not sure how Milton would feel about being behind Twilight on my reading list – not too happy I suppose!! Maybe he would have liked Twilight haha!

I was very upset that I had finished them all – hopefully the author will decide to release Midnight Sun eventually… So now, all there is to do is watch the movies! I hope I don’t hate them! lol It’s interesting to see how you interepret a book in your head when you compare it to the film adaptation of it. Like I’m sure most people’s versions of Edward are nothing like Robert Pattinson – mine certainly wasn’t! It was like a combination of Daruis plus someone else.. I can’t think who… I don’t know, “my” Edward just didn’t look like Pattinson at all..

Anyway, enough about my semi-transformation over to crazy twi-hard fan-girl – or fanpire as they have become to be known… I’ll let you know how bad my obession gets after I watch the movie. If the first thing I do is to start reading the books all over again and also to download an iPod version of the movie, then it means I’m 100% obsessed!

Speaking of books, this week was/is READ AN E-BOOK WEEK!!! So those of you with an iPod Touch, iPhone, e-reader etc, bust it out and start reading something!!! Reading is a great form of procrastination that I love! I have an iPod Touch, and I’m in LOVE with my Stanza e-reader. It’s super easy to use, and they have a big selection of free books – which you can download if you have wireless internet. Books are awesome!

Wow, I didn’t mean for that last paragraph to turn into a mini advertisement Anyway, Happy Friday!

Only 109 days until the Twilight Eclipse movie comes out!!! lol omg! I promise I had to Google it – I don’t have a count-down timer on my desktop… I really don’t!! lol

Ok, well, I kinda lied in the title, but that’s alright! Who remembers Sweethearts candy? They were the little rolls of sweets that had things written on them like “kiss me” or “be mine”.

This was all well and good. The company that produces the candy Necco, decided that they needed to update the candy to have more “modern” messages written on them. In the 90s they added “call me” and even “fax me” :s lol

But “call me” and “fax me” are to be replaced with “tweet me” and “text me” – what kid uses a fax machine?! haha

I was going to finish there, but I found these gems: Twilight Themed Sweethearts.

Oh Lord! More themed crap for the kids to buy!

These actually came out last year.. And more are planned to be released to coincide with the release of the Twilight Eclipse movie that is due to be released this summer. I’m telling you, these Twilight fan-girls are CRAZY! Don’t know if it’s a good idea to be giving these fanpires candy too!! Do you think Twilight is as crazy as I do?

According to a lot of sites, the Twilight Sweethearts are a little weak in the quality department – crooked faded print, some are blank – maybe only vampire eyes can read them?! Some of the text from them include: “Bite Me”, “I <3 EC”, “Lamb”, “Live 4 Ever”. The box says “Secret Scent… Rub To Reveal…”…Um….?! The box? or the candies?

And I seem to remember that these candies had “mean” things on them too.. I tried Googling it, but couldn’t find anything.. Does anyone else remember this? Or am I just crazy?

Ok I’m done. But if you would like to buy these Twilight candies, apparently they have them at Walmart. If not, then Amazon – but they’re like 4 times the price.

Or, if you buy both, you could combine them to make some funnies: “Bite Me” “Love Bug”; or “Me + You” “Fork”… ok, NOW I’m done!

Why do you think Twilight is so popular?
