PEACE. LOVE. VAMPIRES.

Twilight. Yes, I'm an avid reader. But #1? She's obsessed. She devoured the books, like I've never seen her read anything else. She quite literally shrieked with joy when she got an e-mail that the movie tickets had gone on sale here. You can't have a conversation with her without some Twilight reference sneaking into it. She's had many a spirited debate on whether vampires "sparkle" (in the sun, as Stephanie Meyers' characters do), or die, as is the commonly-held belief in vampire lore. She bought the soundtrack the day it hit the stores, after agonizing on whether to purchase it off ITunes or get the real CD. She bought the CD because it came with a poster. She watched every movie trailer on the internet. She was counting down the hours (for several days, mind you) until she got to go to the movie tonight. She made t-shirts for her and the BFF to wear. I'd bet she had a hard time going to sleep last night just thinking about it. Her dad and boyfriend just roll their eyes. Personally, I find it endearing. If you know #1, she's calm and easy-going, nothing much gets her very excited. I think the twinkle she gets in her eyes at the mention of Twilight is so adorable, I talk about it just to see her reaction. I'm gonna pay to go see the movie with her tomorrow, just so I can hear the bubbly excitement in her voice. Obsessed? You bet she is.

Oh. The back of the shirts. "Bite me. PLEASE."
I love this girl!

Open Up, Already!!!


Maybe I'm showing my lack of techno-savvy here, but...

I'm home with a sick child today, it's freezing outside, and I'd like nothing better than to read a few chapters of Midnight Sun. Problem is, whenever I try to open the file, I get nothing but a blank page. I do have the Adobe Reader installed. Haven't seen any pop-ups warning about anything. Can anybody tell me what to do???
