Something Fun

So as a result of being upset today, I'm bored to tears at work. I swear I can't concentrate on anything long enough to do any good to save my life today. I'm just sitting here waiting for Nakar, Ize, or Jules to write me back...haha, what a day huh?

In any case, to take my mind of crappy things that have happened in the past few hours, I'm going to write about something positive! Something different and something not WOW related.

I'm going to write about the movie Twilight.

Oh boy! A movie review...well kinda.

Over the weekend Jules and her cousin came over to my house, we kicked Kroff out, and we ate dinner talked and watched Twilight. Now keep in mind they have both read the books and I haven't...yet. But I'm sure as heck going to now!

The movie, in my opinion, was freaking awesome! I'm sure my husband's going to watch it with me and go "omg that sucked" but I don't care. It was definitely one of those movies that I got sucked into. And that for me is a rare occurrence. I think the last movie I was this crazy about was A Walk to Remember. I read the book and was hooked, so when the movie came out, I saw it twice in theaters and bought it the day it came out. Yea...I love that movie.

So Twilight's probably going to be my next A Walk to Remember.

For those of you who don't know, it's a movie about a girl who moves to Washington from Phoenix to live with her dad when her mom and her step-dad go on the road. When she moves to Forks, she meets a strange boy at her new HS who ends up being her lab partner. When he disappears several days after she first starts, she realizes there's something different about him. Then the day he comes back, she demands answers out of him. He refuses to give any, but keeps asking about her and her life. She's telling him when she notices his eyes are a different color. She asks him if he got contacts and he said no it's the lights and walks away. He leaves her standing at her locker a little shocked. She's getting ready to leave school when one of her buddies comes flying around the corner in a van and can't stop. He's headed straight for her when out of no where, the mysterious guy jumps in front of the van and stops it from crushing her with his hands. He takes off before anyone else sees him and again, she's left standing there with no answers.

Other events take place and we finally figure out that this boy is a vampire. And he has fallen head over heels in love with this girl...a human.

Weird! Right? Definitely a different approach to a love story. But I'll tell ya, I'm a sucker for 'em and this one is right up my alley. There is a little bit of over acting in my opinion, but then again, we're dealing with young adults...it's to be expected. But overall, I loved it.

And I've been trying to figure out why I love it so much. Why does this movie spark something inside of me? I mean, I'm already married. I've found the love of my life so it's not like I'm sitting here thinking "I wish I could find a love like that."

But you know what I think it is? I think it's the very core of my femininity showing. I think it's the desire that all women feel to be protected coming out. There's part of my inner being that desires for a male figure to watch over me. And before I met my husband, I longed to have an older brother, or a male that would act as my older brother. I wanted someone like that to watch out for me and always be there to protect me. Then I met my husband and that desire for an older brother faded as I knew I now had a husband to fill that role for me. I have a man who loves me so much he would rather die than see any harm come to me. And really that was the essence of the movie. A man who loved this woman so much, he would do anything for her. Completely melting away the image of his maleness and the fact that he's a human killing monster. It was just a very cool way of showing the special bond between a man and a woman.

Now I just gotta get my husband to sit down and watch it with me so he can understand why I have been so clingy to him the past few days. :-)
