My family thinks I'm nuts.

I spent the weekend in Hayward with my family. They think I'm crazy, and are probably right. But you guys understand...I hope? Twilight Brain is nothing new.

Just a few reasons why they think so:

1. There was a Jacob Road. And I really, really wanted to take it. Who knows if it led to a Wisconsin La Push?

2. There was evidently a bear outside the cabin last night, and I wasn't afraid. Emmett would surely get it for me...

3. At the liquor store, there was a wine list on the wall, and right under the wine Bella Sera was Black Swan...I actually yelped seeing "Bella" and "Swan" so close together.

4. There were some deer hanging out near the window, and I was hoping to see Edward (a la the trailer).

5. Near the LCO Casino, there's a little gift shop called "Rosalie's."

There are several other reasons, mostly stemming from last night when I had too much to drink and was running my mouth about the books, but you get the gist. ;-) My sister (who's read all three books) and Matt (who's in the middle of Eclipse) were getting pretty annoyed with me.

In other news: I thought of a pretty good question for SM that I SO wish I would have thought of before the Q&A. I think it might have been asked. It deals with both the Twilight and The Host. I might message her on MySpace with it, even though I'm sure she won't have time to answer...but I think I'll wait until I'm done with The Host, as I have another question I want to ask about it but just want to ensure that it's not answered at the end of the book.

I started off this post thinking I wanted to share the first question, but now I'm not sure if it would spoil things for people...I'm only 200 pages into The Host (but I'm very addicted right now...should finish soon, I think). Maybe I'll just write it down and save it for later.

Hope everyone had a good weekend! Those Puppet Master chapters were pretty good!! :-)

A New Term!

"You're a vampwhore!" Erik just called me when I asked if he'd bring me some cookies. Then pop them in the microwave to warm them. Then rub my back.

Blah.

So I started a Young Adult book club for teachers at my school - some of the best connections I make with kids are through books I recommend to them (and discussion that follows) and when I was talking with some other teachers, they mentioned how they wish they knew what to read for YA fiction etc etc, so we had our first meeting today after school.

Guess what our first book was?

Of course it was Twilight! I'm obsessed, after all. So I had about seven female teachers of all ages in my room after school, and NONE OF THEM LOVED IT. A few liked it, a few didn't really like it at all (not enough action blah blah blah) and I just wanted to stand up on top of my desk and yell at them all! How DARE they!? They even went so far as to rib me for my undying love for Edward...

Sigh.

So I had to share with a group that loves it as much as I do. They don't understand. And when it comes down to it, they were all glad they read it just because pretty much every other girl (maybe more) in school and a lot of boys have read it. But it just made me sad that they thought it was too romance-y and boring.

(Side note - a science teacher read it but couldn't make it to the meeting - she loved it and has already read New Moon and Eclipse. So at least I converted one! Yay!)
