I never posted my review of the movie Twilight, but the brief synopsis went something like this:

The movie didn't live up to the book.

Total shocker, I know.

Thankfully, I knew this information going in and was prepared. So when the Cullen's make-up and the not-so-impressive special effects made it difficult for me to get into the movie (at first), I reminded myself that no movie about this incredible series could ever meet my expectations. Then, I sat back and enjoyed it. I relished the feeling I get whenever I think about anything Twilight-related.

Perhaps fellow "Twilighters" can relate...

Now that the anticipation of new books in the series is over, I live for any and every kind of Twilight-related news. I've even found myself on the MTV Twilight Blog site searching for news about the next movie, New Moon. Seriously, I'm 37-years-old and I'm surfing through the MTV Web site?

That's crazy.

Or is it?

As it is with vampires, once you're bitten (by this series) you are forever changed.

You begin devouring whatever information is already out there about the series - blogs, Stephenie Meyer interviews, movie clips, etc., etc. And then you long for new updates so you can stay in this make-believe world (a.k.a. Forks, Washington) that seems pretty darn close to perfection...

Okay, maybe you can't relate and I'm just crazy.

Either way, I'm excited about the release on Saturday and will probably fix a Twilight-themed dinner to celebrate...

And then? I'll focus my anticipation toward the release of New Moon on 11.20.2009.

What?

You think that's crazy?

I don't think I'm the only one... SEE!
