Are You Completely Obsessed With The Twilight Saga? BY EdwardCullensLamb

When you began reading Twilight did you think your life would be so greatly affected by these characters? How quickly did you realize you were hooked? Do You realize it Yet? How has this Twilight thing of ours affected your life?
I started reading Twilight after ordering it online. I really didnâ€™t know much about the books and could not understand why there were so many people at the Square One Mall in Saugus Mass to see Robert Pattinson.

I knew he had been in Harry Potter and a couple other small roles, But What was the big deal about this movie?

As usual for me I had to find out. I got my 8 yr old daughter to bed and sat down to find out what all of the hysteria was about.

Needless to say to you all I found out rather quickly, But I didnâ€™t think anything of the fact that I had started reading and did not stop. I stayed up all night and got my daughter off to school came home and continued reading. Still no clue. Once I finished twilight I realized I needed to keep reading (not wanted to needed to) I went to Barnes & Noble that night and bought not just New Moon but all of them; Eclipse & Breaking Dawn. I had to make sure that I could keep reading. So I did I kept reading and when I had to put the books down (which I really hated to do) I couldnâ€™t wait to get back to it.

I am still not sure if I am obsessed or just really in love with these books. Now the movies as well. I have seen the movie several times and have read the books to many times to count, Every time my daughter sees a book in my hand she says â€œ mom your reading them again? Why? I donâ€™t know what to say except because I want to.

For a 36 yr old mom I feel a little out of place. It seems like this story line was aimed towards the younger genre and here I am just as into it as they are. I am younger then my actual age (in my own defense). The Twilight Saga has definitely become a part of my everyday life in one way or another. Checking online for any new news about anything that has to do with Twilight , actors etc. joining Twilighters anonymous, Changing my Myspace & Facebook Pages. Does that make me obsessed ?I donâ€™t know. I really donâ€™t care one way or another. I thoroughly enjoy myself and am Glad I was so curious.

How About You? Did Twilight do the same for you? Or is it just another story line for you? Can you walk away and never look back?

I Canâ€™t.

I seriously am beginning to think there’s something wrong w/ me. I got the 1st book in December (via a friend’s suggestion) but didn’t read it until last Sunday. I stayed up ALL night and finished it in one sitting. I ordered the next 2 books, received them last Friday & finished New Moon this morning. I just can NOT put these books down; it doesn’t matter how late at night/early in the morning I start reading them…I can’t stop!

I bought the dvd on Friday & have watched it 3 times since then (guess it helps that I only work part time)! I’ve also been checking out tons of Twilight stuff on the net for the past week.
I realize I’m a late-comer to the Twilight phenomenon, but it has definitely *sucked* me in!! I think about the books & characters ALL the time now. I can’t really talk about it to anyone for fear they’ll think I’m CRAZY! I think my husband’s beginning to get the idea, but even he doesn’t know the full extent.

I’m a little concerned that it seems I’m depressed when I’m NOT reading the books or watching the movie. Like reality kinda sucks now.

I feel the same way as everyone on here. What I want to know is what we can do about it? Some people are now thinking I’m crazy and I feel like I am crazy as this is all I can think about. Edward and his gentleman ways and well basically I don’t want to do anything but to read about him and think about what my life would be if he was here. I was also late to jump on the bandwagon but now that I have, it’s hit me big time and worried what this is doing to my sleep deprivation and emotions. Advice?

OMG. I am so happy to realize there are other “older” women out there who LOVE the Twilight Series. I have watch each movie multiple times, as well as read the books. Got to watch Breaking Dawn yesterday on MOD on comcast. Will watch it again this afternoon while husband is golfing. (ha, he could stay out all day. I’ll watch one of them again) Yes, this obsession is scary. I think it is the romance that we love. We don’t have that anymore-usually just blatant sex scenes that turn me off. And now, I love the classic Clair de Lune by Debussey.
