What in the hell happened?

So I don't know what the hell happened really. One day I am going about my life, going to work, doing the daily, completely ignorant and unaware of what is lying in wait for me, around the corner, like a predator, waiting for it's prey. And then the next day......I was one of "them". The Twilight People. It all starts innocently enough.......someone asks if you've read the book, they tell you a little bit about it, just enough to lure you in. You buy the first book.....and by page three you are somehow transformed into a twi-junkie. You can't put the book down....you take it with you where ever you go....you turn off your cell phone so no one dares call while you are with 'him".

Edward.

The next think you know is, you are buying the rest of the books, the dvd, the soundtrack to the movie. Suddenly reading a book 5 times doesn't seem so odd. You notice a website that has a replica of Bella's Bracelet, so you order it, and you seem to be haunting Twilight related websites and blog pages.....waiting......needing your next fix.........

Yes, it starts off innocently enough. Then before you know it you are in it and there is nothing you can do about it. You abandon your friends and your family considers and intervention.

Innocent. Sure. Right. Whatever you say. This is my own personal journey into twi-hell......join me if you dare. If not, better take the blue pill instead.

It's crazy how it sneeks up on you. We are grown women, with lives for goodness sakes, and here we are constantly looking for news and connections to 'them.' I was very sad when I was almost done with Breaking Dawn cause I knew that was going to be the end of my daily relationship with 'them.' I felt like I was really losing friends! But now here I am, sharing my time with others who are feeling just like me. Maybe we are not so crazy after all--but then again......
