Comments on: Twilight Obsession or Mid-Life Crisis? http://www.thesuburbanjungle.com/twilight I would look more like this chick --> if she were folding laundry Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:31:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: sharon http://www.thesuburbanjungle.com/twilight/comment-page-1#comment-19151 sharon Mon, 22 Nov 2010 13:16:11 +0000 http://www.suburbanjungle.net/?p=186#comment-19151 Wow! So glad to read this & realize I may be normal after all or at least Im not the only obsessed one. I was in the book store the other day casually waiting for a young girl to get the heck away from the teen magazines so I could grab a copy ridden with Twilight photos on the front. You should've heard the battle going on in my mind. I decided it might look better if I also grabbed a Nickolodean magazine so clearly it would look like they were for someone other then myself. I blankly gazed over all the home decor magazines thinking this kid was surely going to move sometime this YEAR!! which she finally did. I finally snagged the magazine & placed it under the other's I had collected, went & found a nice quiet spot to sit & marinated in all the Twilight goodness. I was only able to find a spot in the kids section & became quite paranoid when a security guard kept walking around the area. I felt like he could see right through all of my stealthy behavior. It didn't take me long to figure out that I really wanted that magazine but was very intimidated at having to actually purchase it in front of others. I just knew they would know I was one of thooooose moms. Ughhhh! I finally decided to grab a cheap birthday card & purposefully place it on top of the magazine so clearly it was for someone else!! Am I pathetic or what? Well, supposedly not because I can really relate to all you have written here & am so glad to find someone who can understand the joy & madness I go through in figuring this obsession out. Thanks so much for sharing & making me feel normal again :) Wow! So glad to read this & realize I may be normal after all or at least Im not the only obsessed one.

That's right, I am a big fan of the hottie myself and despite the fact that I have two 8 year olds and a husband...don't think that would even stop me if he looked in my general direction. Besides, what else is there if you cannot at the very least fantasize about your sinful thoughts. Loved it...keep it up girl! Mid life crisis…I don’t think so babe!

I love my readers. By the way, I did not really like the movie or Robert in the part till I fell in love with him at the MTV awards. I know, I'm such a follower. But if you have not read the books it is sooo worth it. I love that so many of you are fans of Twilight and that the ones who are not are fans of putting a nine year old in her place.

Mine is better than yours. Very amusing, although I must admit I no nothing about the Vampires other than their author. You have to lend me the books. But I do like the banter between you and this 9 year old little girl, who obviously was mimicking her peers. Keep up the good work, I always like putting young people in their place. naah, naah, naah, naah. Mine is better than yours.

I can't believe i know absolutely nothing about Twilight or this new craze w/werewolfs. Maybe it's because I have 4 boys-my baby girl is only 2. And evidently I can thank my lucky stars that I have no knowledge of this or I too may start acting like a middle-age, teenie bopper wanna-be! No, no matter how sexy this wolfman, eddie scissorhands man may be, I'm pretty sure I would not resort to such childish obession-especially since it's only been a few years ago that i overcame my Michael Jackson addiction. No, I could never go back to such absurb behavior again! OMG! I can’t believe i know absolutely nothing about Twilight or this new craze w/werewolfs.

And why is a 9 year old reading a teen book? For shame! And not that Robert isn't handsome, but nothing like the Edward Cullen in my head :-) Wait, where do I get the chapter that was left out!

I was just wondering if there is some reason that I HAVE to talk to EVERYONE about those books. Will I EVER stop being obsessed? Ever? I mean, really. It is quite unhealthy how obsessed I have become. *sigh* OMG, I was in line at WalMart the other day and saw a woman holding ‘eclipse’ in her hand, waiting to check out.

I actually liked the movie, somewhat, and might actually read the books. I liked your Tiger Beat reference. Do you remember all of the Stand by Me and River Phoenix posters we had?
