The.Tumulak.Wilsons: September 2008

So this summer Asia got hooked on the Twilight book/series. Then we found out that the movie will be released in November 2008 AND that there will likely be a midnight showing (11.21.2008). Asia made me promise to take her. So I figured if I'm going to stay up for almost 24 hours to watch this movie, I might as well read ONE of the books from the series. One was enough. Now I was hooked. I read the first 3 books in 5 days. It's an easy read and VERY compelling. This is how insane it is: we're wearing Twilight shirts for the midnight showing. Asia's shirt: TEAM EDWARD. My shirt: TEAM JACOB. There is a small part of me that feels just a twinge of shame...as if I've now crossed over into that group that dressed up like Captain Jack Sparrow for the Pirates movie or the hoards of girls that went to the midnight showing of Sex in the City in 3-inch heels and cocktail dresses. I snickered at them while I sipped my Starbucks and enjoyed the warmth and comfort of my sweat pants. Now I join their ranks and I'm dragging my poor innocent daughter with me. It was her idea...but I should be the parent and say no considering the feelings I've expressed in this blog. I'm weak (and obsessed). Oh the shame.
