Thoughts on Twilight

Well, Susan lent me the first book, but I have to admit I have yet to open. See, ever since I heard about these books, I thought how incredibly stupid they sounded. Teenage vampires? And the female readers who swooned over them, the whole Edward/Jacob saga, I mean come on, they're characters in a cheesy-sounding book. The whole thing sounded laughable to me. And it still does, not to mention that I get creeped out pretty easily-are these vampires scary? Am I going to lay awake at night thinking some blood-thirsty vamp is going to come suck my blood? I guess the not knowing exactly what these books entail is what has kept me from reading them. Also, let's be honest, I'm not a lemming kind of girl at all. I don't care much to follow a crowd or feel like I need to compete or keep up with anyone. It's obvious I march to the beat of my own drummer, and I guess I prefer it that way. I like who I am, and to me doing something just because everyone else does sounds like a really poor reason to do it. But these books, everyone says they're so great. I like to get sucked into a book, I really do, which is what makes these so tempting. So will I read them? Probably. Wait until I'm good and bored, maybe tomorrow while the pies are baking? Or on Saturday when I'm completely sick of being with my kids so I let them veg in front of the TV all morning so they stop whining/fighting/bugging me. I don't know. Maybe I won't read them at all. I thought I had my mind made up, but you should know by now how incredibly fickle I am. :)
