Hello, my name is Kim, I am a 48 year old grandmother, and yes I am a Twihard. I'm not a camp out for 5 days to get tickets, "Team Edward" tee shirt wearing (Ahem, Jamie) kind of Twihard, but it's true, I have been bitten by the vampire bug. When the Twilight craze began and Jamie was completely immersed in the book series I thought that the whole premise sounded simply absurd. A sparkly vampire??? Puhleeeeze!! Jamie tried her best to get me to go to the theater with her to see the movie when it came out, but I could not be swayed...."No, no, no", I affirmed over and over, "I have no desire to see that movie." Then one evening when there was nothing on television, and I was weak, I let her convince me to watch the Twilight DVD with her. I started reading the books that same weekend. And yes damn it! I LIKED THEM!!
I didn't care that Edward might be the bad guy, rather than the hero, I no longer cared that these were vampires without fangs, I didn't even care that Edward sparkled! I just got lost in the story. Stephanie Myers has somehow managed to reinvent the same old love story that has worked for so many generations. It's a fun indulgence, the books were an easy read, and the movies are a great two hour escape from the real world.

LOL- I knew you would like it Mom! Like Breena says - "There is just so much hotness!"
You have a compadre in Stacy. She's already informed me that at some point this weekend I'm getting a two-hour stint with the kids.
By the way, I just don't get the lead vampire guy in the movie. Sparkly or not, he kind of looks like he got beat across the face with a wooden stake a couple of times. Admittedly I'm not the best judge of "hotness", but in the words of the blog author, "Puhleeeeze!!"

Steve,
Haha! Tell Stacy she's going to like the new one. Can def. tell that it's a different director. I have to agree with you, he does have a different look to him....but there is just something about Edward......sigh.
