Simply not meant to be

I'm not meant to be a Twilight fan. I realize that many Mix listeners are crazy in love with the books and/or movies, and that's great! I appreciate anything that fosters a passion for reading! And I've had my serious crushes and hangups and obsessions, so I'll never judge. I watched the first movie, but couldn't make it through the second. It's just not my thing.

But beyond that, there are forces simply standing between me and Twilight. Because I love to read I thought I would give the books a chance - you can't criticize something you've never read, right? So I requested the first book from our fabulous Champaign Public Library (one of MY obsessions), as all the copies were out. Well, waiting for me was the graphic novel version of book one...the comic. I just wasn't really down with that (no offense this time to fans of THAT genre). I had a ton of other stuff to read so I put it out of my mind...and have never been back.

Tonight I went to pick up what I believed would be the soundtrack to Twilight: Eclipse. I'd requested it because I'd heard the soundtracks were pretty awesome. Yeah...I ended up with sheet music for piano, guitar, and vocals. I laughed out loud and put it right into the book return. While I play some guitar, I don't see myself plunking out "My Love" by Sia anytime soon. (Sia "Breathe Me" - AMAZING song from Six Feet Under finale) I really think it's not meant to be between me, Bella, Edward, and Jacob. I'll stick to my latest fix, Stephen King. He's not nearly as cute but I really dig his writing.

One thing I got right tonight at the library: Toy Story 3!!!
