twilight

where to start....


i got the first book of the twilight series for christmas. i had heard rave reviews about it, and knowing how i love teen romances, i knew i had to get my hands (or eyes, rather) on a copy on the first book. i am about 3/4 done with the book, and i'm completely in love with edward. even though i hadn't finished the book, i had to go see the movie. edward, played by robert pattinson, is absolutely delicious. he is also british. EVEN BETTER! the brits can always wear clothes so nicely. gotta love a skinny tie, fitted suit, and pointy dress shoes. sighh....

but thats not the point....the movie was really really good. acting maybe not so good sometimes, but the storyline is very sweet. i cried at the end when he took her to prom and they were dancing outside under a canopy of lights, and he told her that he'd never leave her. i wish romance was like that in real life. i think after watching movies like this, with god like men falling in love with the clumsy, yet oddly beautiful girl, is bad for me. i get unrealistic ideas in my head that lead me to live in a fantasy world. oh well, its much better that way, because in my fantasy world there is always a happy ending. maybe im more like jane austen....again not the point. my point IS is that the movie is wonderful and i can't wait for the next one.

here is the trailer for it:
