Breaking Point

Ok, here are three things I heart:
1. Vampire Fiction
2. Angst
3. Forbidden Love
In case you don’t know about Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series, I encourage all those who adore even one of the three above things to pick it up. This past weekend, Jason and Hayley, his niece, came up from Portsmouth for the midnight release of the book Breaking Dawn, the last in the series. It took me right back to middle/high school, which, in case you were wondering, is the target audience for the books. I went to the restroom during the evening, and stayed in there about twenty minutes because I had to hear the outcomes of how Claire really likes Chad but she is afraid he really likes Alexis and how Rachael used to date Jimmy and she does not care if her best friend Jessica dates him because Rachael is not into jocks anymore, she is going for something new in the cute but brainy guy in her lit class, but she will miss how the jocks look super hot when they are all sweaty… well, you get the idea. By the way, I am sure that all people who are listed above actually spell their names with many more oddly placed y’s and i’s than how I spelled them. In any case, it was a similar, and yet spectacularly different, feeling from the Harry Potter release last year. All I know is that, just like last year, I emerged from the weekend drunk from over reading and lack of contact with reality- my favorite state of being.
