Ha ha! I think the "Twilight is my Life" site is hysterically funny and cute because people reveal their obsession with the fictional characters. I remember when I first realized that the vampire was the Cedric character from Harry Potter, so the quote you listed was very amusing.
I liked this quote among many others:
Quote:
Today there was frost on the ground, so when the light hit it it sparkled. I was walking into school with my brother, and he suddnley got uber exctied and said...'THE GROUND IS LIKE EDWARD'S SKIN!!!' I will never look at frost the same again!

I first looked at Twilight, the book, several years ago to try to figure out what all the buzz was about, and read a few pages. I thought...meh, it doesn't really grip me, and so I didn't read more.
Then this year I decided I'd try again to figure out what about the story appeals to people, but instead of the more laborious reading I watched the movie Twilight. Within a month I'd read all 4 books, although I struggled through the 4th, which I felt got quite long and repetitive because the characters seemed so unchanging...as if they were stuck in stereotypical behavior.
One negative I see overall with the series is that it seems to have a very limited focus such that once I'd read all the books, they left me with little to think about and didn't linger in my mind. But the series does base itself on themes that are commonly well-liked in literature and movies: "star-crossed" lovers. And pretty male actors. And super-protective hero-like males. I liked the overall feeling of the movie "Twilight"...great music, too. I preferred the movie Twilight to the book.
Having read all the books, I can understand all the references in the "Twilight is my Life" comments, which makes them extra funny. |
