They are among the most beautiful I have ever seen. Ever since I can remember, and long before my first ever digital camera, I have had a strong desire to go to the city to get some shots in the cemeteries there. I’m sure most people wouldn’t find them beautiful, but they captivate me, completely and entirely. Maybe someday soon, I can visit a few. Especially this one, since it not only captivates, but intrigues me due to the mere fact that some filming from Anne Rice’s Interview With The Vampire was done there…

All I want to know is - are you reading the Twilight saga? And if you are not, for crying out loud, WHY?? It may be labeled as Young Adult, but oh-what-ever…. it’s good stuff. Great stuff. What are you waiting for?

If you are reading - have you read the whole series? What are your thoughts? (Wait - I am just starting Eclipse today, so keep that in mind - don’t spoil it for me pleeeease)….

Are you anxiously awaiting the movie release? Or are you concerned about the movie not being as good as the book? That is usually the case.

I was a bit disappointed to “see” Edward Cullen … I had a completely different image of him in my mind…

I was thinking of something a little more…

Because you know, Ethan haunts my dreams… however, I supposed he is a little too old to be playing a 122 yr old vampire stuck in a 17 yr old body…. but hey, that’s what imaginations are for… I think he would be a perfect vampire. Can you imagine? Give him some fangs and a mic to sing some Violent Femmes.. yumm! Count me in! (if you don’t get it, go rent Reality Bites… and get a clue already, will ya?)

Ok, I got sidetracked. Sorry.

Anyway, in the words of L …. READ THE DAMN BOOK ALREADY!!

I think I have just allowed myself a new addicition. The Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. My lovely friend L has been bugging me to “read the damn book already” and finally, I did. I was not aware that it was a vampire story, otherwise I’m quite sure I’d have already read it. However, given the immense taste difference when it comes to books between L and myself, I was cautiously concerned that this Twlight vampire story may just ruin it for me.

You see, I have always been an avid, borderline obsessive fan of Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. I owned them all, and read them each quite a few times. I’m sad to say that I ended up selling them all in order to replace them with the harcover versions, and have not done so yet. Now, I’m sure it will happen sooner rather than later because my fascination with the vampire world has totally, completely resurfaced.

So, L likes to read stuff like… Nora Roberts … Things like that are on my TICS list. Sorry, no offense. Just not my style. So, you can imagine my caution. The last thing I wanted was some sordid, sappy Fabio-like vampire to completely F up my own personal idealization of vampires.

However, I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Not only did I love and adore the book (which I bought and read from cover to cover in under 36 hours), but I have fallen in love.

Yes, I know… I twittered recently about Dean McDermott, and my love and adoration for him.

I may be addicted to the idea of love. Just maybe.

Because today, I am madly in love with Edward Cullen.
