The Truth Is Often Stranger Than Fiction

First there was Harry Potter and now there is Edward Cullen.

So I have succumb to the fad of reading Twilight, you know the young adult book that is based on a mortal moving to a little town and then making nice with vampires . Although my main reasoning is that all the girls are reading it in 8th grade and I'm curious as to what my girls are reading. I am also intrigued by the idea that it is about vampires, and who doesn't love Robert Pattinson. He's reason enough to see the movie. But in all reality vampires do have a certain romance and sensuality about them. The only time I have EVER found Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt attractive was in Interview With a Vampire. And we all know I have an odd thing for the abnormal and supernatural. I do love my ghosts!

But anywhoo. The book so far isn't too bad. I've read through 5 chapters in no time. It's a great visualization book for the age group it is meant for. I know that I can see the scenes in vivid detail. But then again I have an enormous imagination and have always been able to visualize with full detail. And let me tell you, Edward Cullen is SO charming! I think I'm even falling for him.

Speaking of vampires, isn't it funny how I'm going to be one for Halloween. What a concidence. Athena was a very tempting costume but I like the darker side of Halloween. The goblins and ghouls. The witches and warlocks. The werewolfs and vampires. And I absolutely can't wait for Salem on Sunday! It is going to be soooo much fun! And I get to share it with my two loves. I wish the Halloween celebration was longer. Can it be two months instead?

Speaking of which, we are talking about the Salem witch trials in Social Studies.The kids are too funny Ouji boards came up today and Rachel almost condemned me to Hell because I had used one before. Her CCD teacher told her so and bad things were now going to happen to me. Too bad the last time I touched one was probably 10 years ago, and nothing happened. And I am a Ouiji skeptic so it might actually be fun to take one out again. But I probably never will. And really, is a game board that Hasbro makes really going to bring in the devil? It's like saying that the Magic 8 Ball really answers questions.

Ok I should stop rambling now. This blog thing may become dangerous.
