Twilighted

I know, you're probably sick of hearing about it, but I did see Twilight recently. At first, I was apprehensive as I didn't really know what to expect. To be honest, I didn't know what it was about. When my daughter told me it was about vampires, I was a little... wary of what it could be about.

I was surprised to found that I actually enjoyed the film. Sure, I had plenty of questions throughout the whole thing like, "why do they play baseball in a thunderstorm?" or "why do they look weird?" and of course, "how can the kids date if they all live together?" All of my questions were answered until the vampire discussion began. These people defied just about everything I knew about vampires (which isn't much). I wanted to know why the sunlight didn't hurt them, why their eyes were... well, I don't know what the color was. Overall, it was very good but I think my daughter's upset with who I chose as a favorite character. I thought Edward was the best as he did all of those spectacular things in the trees and played the piano so masterfully. The other characters didn't really stand out to me. Now, I live with a girl who suffers from a different form of OCD that she calls "Obsessive Cullen Disorder."

I don't know where Twilight is going, but it's definitely taking her with it. Apparently, there are teams for favorite characters and I've been informed that I joined the millions of people on "Team Edward." As for my daughter? She's on "Team Carlisle" and I barely remember which one was Carlisle. I know he's the doctor and he looked like he needed a blood transfusion so he was in the right place. I just hope she finds something else to talk about soon... everything's about Carlisle with that one.
