…and sharing it with you. My name is Melody Meiners, and I have a Twilight problem. It all started innocently enough. Having taken a literature into film course while I was earning that very expensive piece of paper that (supposedly) qualifies me to talk about books, I made a vow not to see the Twilight movie without having read the book first. So just as the movie was opening I picked up my copy and started digging in. Within the first hundred pages I was bitten. I finished the 4 book series (around 24,000 pages) within five days – it probably would have been sooner but I had to make trips to the bookstore to pick up the next book in the series, and then I had to do some human stuff like eat, sleep, and bathe… oh yeah, and work.

My Twilight problem extends well beyond the books (having read them all I am working my way through a second time), the movie (which I am approaching my third viewing of soon), and the music (which I have downloaded all of the play lists for each book from the author’s website). I am a proud Twerd and have started a secret group on Facebook for local ladies (over 21) who are afflicted with the same love for Edward Cullen as I am and I have joined TwilightMoms (no this doesn’t mean I have any special news, it just means that I am not a teenager, I am married, and I am in love with the series).

Obviously, I am Team Edward all the way. Still don’t quite get why there would even be a Team Jacob, but anyway I am in love with a fictional vampire, haha! I know there are a lot of you out there too, and there are a ton of dudes reading this series as well. You don’t have to out yourselves on this here blog if you don’t want to, but as long as you are here you can enjoy this (caution contains spoilers!!!):

If you haven’t disowned me yet, thank you! If this means I am getting taken off of your feed reader immediately – I will miss you!  Now that I have that off my chest…
