Yes, I've hopped on the bandwagon. The one swollen and saturated with squealing hormonal teenaged girls. I actually kind of liked Twilight, it was I suppose refreshing, to have the theme of forbidden love intertwined with bloodlust fantasy set in a 'typical' american high school life. Some bits are just sickly sweet to the point of it leaving a bitter aftertaste i.e.
Edward:”Besides,friends don’t let friends drive drunk.”
Bella:”Drunk?”
Edward:”You’re intoxicated by my very presence.”
and I predict it has something to do with the author being in the middle of a midlife crisis being like my high school love life was dried up and unsatisfactory, I'll just exaggerate my own fantasies after I get married and have children to the point of no return!
And the character of Edward is beyond words. And my English teacher was right, he's the oldfashioned admirable gentleman that doesn't absorb all the nasties the world (coughcough MTV) presents to young boys such as arrogance, dirty manners, rudeness to girls, immaturity, unfaithfulness the list goes on; and hes an unrealistic benchmark for other boys of this era to aim for. Then again he is like 90 years old, and would hold out doors for poor fragile girls as if by reflex. And even though Bella Swan is the main protagonist of the story, there are a billion more Edward fansites on the internet that cater to 'both girl and boy fans' like this one http://www.freewebs.com/eamcismyobsession/index.htm Edward Cullen - Every Girl's Dream [ insert drooling and glazed eyes here ] And 'Cedric Diggory' isnt even THAT attractive, he just has a protruding bone structure and a tall gargantuan build. His eyebrows bother me.

5. you cringe whenever you hear/see Edward's or Bella's name and it has nothing to do with Stephenie Meyer.
6. you've ceased to believe that vampires actually have fangs or any weakness. And you believe all vampires must be inherently hot.
