In my opinion, I think that since the majority of us who read the book feel the same way about our boyfriends or husbands. We start to look at them and think, "Man why can't you love me like that!" Could it be true that there is something wrong with our men? Or maybe not something wrong, but maybe there is something missing that we are all longing for in the relationship. I really think that if more guys read the series they would understand exactly why we love Edward Cullen so darn much!

My Husband Hates Twilight and I know I am not alone!
After going out for dinner with friends, my husband and I invited them to come and hang out at our place. When we got home the guys put on Street Fighter 4 and started playing. The women of course gathered around the dining table and we all were discussing Twilight. And you all know how we get when we talk about Edward, Emmett, Jasper and Carlisle! We started getting loud, giggling, laughing, etc. My husband looks at me and asks, "What are you guys talking about?" I answered with a smile and he immediately knew and rolled his eyes! Of course immediately the guys started saying things like, "Fuck Edward and Twilight Sucks". I mean its not our fault after reading this book we've noticed things about our significant others that we don't like! I mean they can't sparkle, read our minds, or look like super models! LoL

This is very true, but we ladies just can't help it! I am actually thinking about buying the PS3 just for the Blu-ray, so in change I buy my man's Street Fighter IV and the Blu-ray version of Twilight... I am so close to just doing it already! LMAO.
ReplyDeleteHow funny! A friend of mine actually said the exact same thing! She had the exact same plan, complete with the Street Fighter 4!! OMG how weird! See the Twilight obsession is already increasing the purchases of the Playstation 3! LoL
ReplyDeleteI started reading Twilight not even a week yet and now I'm on the 2nd chapter of Eclipse.
ReplyDeleteI never planned on writing anything on this blog, the only reason why I was going to write was simply because I told a friend that I would do so, my friend wanted a guy's perspective of the Twilight Saga. Now come to think of it, not only I will be doing my friend a favor, I will be doing myself a bigger favor. There were so many times when I was reading Twilight and New Moon I found myself filled with these emotions and excitement that I felt I should discuss/share with someone for feedback. My brother is out of the question, he cant even stomach the fact that I'm reading and to add insult to the injury, I'm reading Twilight, the last book he ever thought I would actually read. My girlfriend read the whole saga; she's a real bookworm, so she should be the perfect candidate for the above scenario, however, whenever I talk to her about things I come across, her face is always straight, not showing any enthusiasm at all, and sometimes she tends to spoil some upcoming events that I haven't read yet. I cant help but feel that she's not really a big a fan as I thought she is of the Twilight saga. So by me joining this blog I hope to quench that thirst, no pun intended =D.
Last time I've read a book was back in high school and I was required to do so, not because I wanted to. I believe the book was Joy Luck Club, I cant really remember, this was about 13 years ago. I was never fond of reading books as a leisurely thing to do, reading for me was something I did if I had to gather information, look up recipes, research etc.
So I borrowed Twilight from my girlfriend to see what the big deal was and because I always overheard her cousins talk about it. One even went to a convention. My girlfriend looked at me in disbelief, almost awe-strucked for a second. She suggested a different book to me, she thought this other book would suit me better for it's about Greek Mythology, and she knows that I am crazy about stuff like that.
I insisted on borrowing Twilight anyway because for as long as I can remember, I was always a fan of Vampires. I loved the movie Interview with the Vampire, the Underworld saga, and finally I was a big fan of the TNT series Angel. She then proceeded to get the book from the shelf and gave me a half-heartedly grin, it looked more like a doubtful face, she then handed me the book and said "Ohhkay" with a shrug. Although, I cant blame her for making such gestures, it's because I always told her that I hate reading.
It was a slow night at work and I finised all my paperwork early. I flipped through the remote and I was looking for something remotely interesting to watch, and sure enough there was nothing, it was mostly infomercials and movies I have never heard of. Then I stared at the book Twilight right next to the Muzak player. Then I thought to myself "I might as well read this thing and get it over with, I will probably stop reading by the time I get to the third, fifth chapter max, out of boredom".
Boy was I ever wrong, page after page after page of so many vivid characters coming to life, full of emotions and excitement... I couldn't stop reading it, next thing I know it was 7am and it was time for me to go home, my co-worker almost literally had to kick me out because I wasn't getting up from my desk, I was so stuck. I couldn't believe it myself, I thought to myself "What the hell is going on? I'm reading and I'm actually enjoying it?". I was driving home and the whole time I was thinking of what Jacob was about to tell Bella about why the Cullens are not allowed in the reservation, the part where she was strolling with him by the beach sort of fake flirting with him to get some information. I got home got dressed and ate, for I forgot to eat when I was at work; losing track of the time reading. I stared at my PS3 and I was thinking for a while, I then shook my head and said "naaah". I jumped right into bed with the book in my hand and continued to read.
For the first time ever I haven't touched my PS3, XBOX360, and my PC for almost a week straight, I found myself reading the Twilight saga whenever I had free time.
I know I should be rushing to read the whole saga, but lately I found myself pacing myself with Eclipse. Not because I'm getting bored with it, it's just that I don't want it to end. With Twilight and New Moon I would flip through chapter after chapter until my eyes were burning.
