My Brand of Heroin
I have an obsession. Actually, I think that is too weak a word for what I have. I have an addiction. The kind of addiction that forces me to make poor decisions, like leaving my children alone in order for me to get my fix. The kind of addiction that has me seeking out others with this addiction, so I have more access to my drug. The kind of addiction that requires an intervention and support group in order to quit.
I don't want to quit. I wait, day in and day out, looking for my next fix. I curse anyone who gets in the way of what I want, including the ones that I love. I neglect all while I am getting my high. How long can this last? Will it always be apart of my life? I hope so, I feel I can't live without it.
I am talking, of course, of Twilight.
I have read each of the four books at least three times and have seen the movie six times.
I know, it's bad. I thought I was alone in my obsession. Oh, I know there are millions of teenage fans, and that's what bothered me. I am a thirty year old mother. So imagine my surprise in learning that the least likely of people had my same addiction. I happened to mention Twilight at one of my girl's nights and that's when I found my other half; it was my neighbor Bree.

Thanks for the concern, David. But unless they offer counseling to help me break my need to read and see sparkly vampires, I think I am screwed. Not to mention, this addition is so much fun.
You cannot watch someone killing himself without doing anything. If someone has a knife and wants to kill himself. You will do anything to stop him. Drugs is the same thing. It is just a longer process.

Thanks Olivia, that sounds like a good idea... And the main plot can be summed up with the words from the back cover of Twilight:
About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him-and I didn't know how dominant that part might be- that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
Twilight is a love story with a bite.
Actually you are not alone! My sister, she's 30 and a mom of a big Twilight fan, also a teen, love Twilight.. they have read all the books and seen the movie at least twice... my niece's room is filled with twilight posters... for christmas, i bought her the soundtrack and got her a twilight gift card at hot topic since they have some really cool shirts there.. wasn't sure the right one to pick.... I totally need to understand the craze... I haven't the read books nor seen the movie... But I am very curious and drawn now... maybe you should post some of your favorite excerpts from the book... what's the main plot?
