Twilight- Not Just For Girls
I started reading Twilight three weeks ago I think… maybe four. But in that time frame, I have read all four books plus the rough draft of Midnight Sun at LEAST four times complete. The four books flow together that you have to keep going because there is such an emotional progression that grabs you.
Its a bit much though. I don’t like to think of myself as an obsessive person, but I knew I was in trouble when I thought the other day on my way to go to sleep, something along the lines of, “Time to get Edward and go to bed.” Now this would seem like a really bizarre thing to think of, except that I have been reading myself to sleep since I was 8 or 9. But never before have I referred to a book by the name of a character. (Harry Potter not withstanding as the name IS the title)
Since E has let both of our copies of Twilight be borrowed, I cannot start on another reading of this wonderful journey. So, I was forced to find other entertainments to occupy my mind with in the wee hours of the night as I take advantage of some floating holiday time I have left. (Yay to paid vacation time) The only down side is that its 2am and I’m not tired. I wonder why. 
There are copious websites dedicated to the Twilight universe. And I spent some time letting my voyeuristic side loose to read whatever gossip is going on about the movie. I also watched some You Tube videos, most of which were twilight themed and if anyone knows what music makes up the first 30 seconds of THIS clip, I’d really appreciate it.
So, as I was jumping around various sites I came across an image of a paper clipping about a college kid who wanted to know what all the hoopla around Twilight was about, and since he’s a new writer himself, he decided to see what the deal was. And oh btw he’s going to blog about it. His name is Kaleb Nation and the website ‘Twilight Guy’ is hilarious. Between his comments on each chapter he inserts very funny images to illustrate his funny sense of humor. I’ve spent the last two hours reading his comments on each chapter of Twilight and laughing my butt off. Every so often he includes snarky additions that could be made to certain parts of the dialogue. Being a writer himself, he enjoys the flow of language and word choice and he can’t help poking fun or commenting on what ELSE could have been said.
He’s very insightful for only being 20 years old. He also gives the perspective of what would stand out to a guy in the story, accented by his snarky sense of humor.
