Um, excuse me, missy, but you’re touching MY vampire.
Sure, he seems gracious, and mildly amused even in the next pic. But in his head he’s probably thinking, has she washed her hands before touching me?! Hello, ever heard of Swine Flu?! Look more closely, you can tell that even his bodyguard on the right is thinking that! And the one on the left is pointing at her, as if to say, “touch him again and I’ll take off your arm.”
Oh no, wait, that was probably just me.
I know. Really. I do. I am far too old to be so hung up on Edward Cullen, aka Robert Pattinson, aka the hottest vampire ever. Seriously, I know!
But I also know that life is ever so short, and you may as well find a little vampire sunshine in it wherever you can. So what if I’m old enough to be his mother much older sister! To hell with propriety!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with appreciating some of life’s beauty…even if you find it on the silver screen, behind 300 screaming teenage girls, who probably know his birth date, his shoe size, and even his favorite brand of toothpaste.
It’s not like I’m a freak or something. Believe me, I live next door to a freak, so I know what they look like! I’m just a wee bit taken with a fictional character, that’s all. You don’t have to understand it; some things are just beyond explanation.
OK, gotta run. I’m late for my Twilighters-Anonymous meeting a meeting.
OK, I admit it. I am 42 years old…not exactly in the target demographic for the whole teenage-bloodsucker-goes-vegetarian-in-the-face-of-true-love saga that is Twilight. But what can I say: I’m a true fan of the fanged one and the story and characters that go along with him.
Oddly, I’m old enough to be this blood sucker’s mother. And truth be told, I don’t think he is the absolute most handsome young man in the world. Stranger still, I’m not attracted to the actor who plays our beloved Edward Cullen (aka Robert Pattinson); rather, I am attracted to Edward himself (go figure). When I see photos of Robert, I think he’s good looking, but if I didn’t know he was also Edward, I don’t even think I’d give him a second glance. There’s just something about Edward (that face, those eyes, the I-don’t-comb-my-hair-because-I-don’t-have-to “do”). Both on screen and in photos, he is seriously, um, for lack of a better word, HOT!

Oh, sorry, I lost my train of thought for a second. ;o)
Anyhoo, what more can I say? I’m a Twilighter!
