Twilight

So for those of you who were once like me, ignorant to this phenomenon called Twilight, the DVD was released last night. After store visits in Memphis yesterday which included a detour to Hot Topic (whew did we look crazy in there: four ladies in suits buying Twilight merchandise, we were sure we were the oldest people in there) the shirts have been bought (an I dreamed of Edward Cullen for Merry and an I Heart Boys who Sparkle for Andrea, no shirt for me I can think of other things I want to spend $24 on) and we are ready for the DVD viewing party.

When I joined the jewelry team at corporate in November it was literally the week after the movie had come out and I had no clue what Twilight was. I had seen the previews for the movie, but I thought it was some horror flick. Oops. All my new coworkers were OBSESSED with Twilight and a little horrified that I had not read the books.

I tried to hold out for a little while, but I finished the first book last night (I'm pretty sure they wouldn't even let me watch the movie if I hadn't read the book) and I have to say it was pretty good. I'm interested to see how they incorporate all the fantastical fiction stuff from the book into the movie. I mean he's stronger than a human, can run super fast, and sparkles when he's in the sun.

So of course our party is themed for Twilight-ish things. I'm making deviled eggs cause who doesn't love a theme? And at last I kind of get this Twilight obsession. I still need to read the rest of the books before I become a die hard fan, the first book didn't get really really good until the last 200 pages. I guess I need to find someone to borrow the second book from.
