Sucked in

Any one else struggle with addiction? And I'm not necessarily talking about drugs and alcohol. Addictions can range from buying a new pair of shoes every other week to eating chocolate everyday to... a good book. Oh yes, I am here to stand up and say, "My name is Alli, and I'm addicted to the Twilight series."

But, I can't go any further in the "steps." Call it denial, call it whatever you want, but I completely blame my friend Meredith for my problems. If not for her, I would not have been up past midnight last night. And I would not have stayed in bed until (gasp) 10:45 this morning. If you don't want to be temporarily stricken with laziness, then DO NOT READ START THIS SERIES. I'm not sure if it's the fun of going back to the high school days, or if it's related to my fear/fascination with vampire stories, but this read is gooooooooood. Now, how am I gonna convince Rob to take me to the movie? Meredith, want to go again?

PS- In honor of President Bush's recent pardons, I am going to pardon Meredith for any part she had in my addiction. I will also place part of the blame on my friend, Katelyn, who had told me how good the series was long ago. And lastly, Sam's deserves to be blamed for having the first book on sale for $4.88. Thank you Meredith, Katelyn, and Sam's for a nice diversion.

  1. YES! She is addicited. I don't understand how reading can be that fun or interesting! (This is not good for John in the future). There is a movie out! Spend two hours and your are done!

  2. Oh yay! I'm glad I'm not the only one sucked into this series. Like all addictions, it snuck up quickly, but now it's hard to shake. :)
    Tell me when you want to see the movie, and I'll go. BUT, I'll make you read the 5th unpublished book before you go. I'ts some of the 1st book written from Edward's perspective, and is a great hole-filler to Bella's thoughts.

    I'm such a dork...
