Last night, my family and I went to the mall to watch (drumroll, please) "Eclipse". Yup, good ol' "Eclipse", the third installment of the immortal "Twilight" saga. I didn't really watch it because I'm a Twihard and I'll die if I don't. Actually, I just watched out of curiosity and my obligation to my family (read: bonding on Sundays). So you can guess my feelings. Half looking forward to it, half groaning from the prospect of watching another cheesy, boring Twilight movie (sorry to my sister, who loves Twilight, and Edward. Or Jacob. Or both.).
But soon I found myself in the cinema, fidgeting around and trying to grab some of the food (we were all like vampires. Or werewolves. Either.). Then the movie started.
I must admit, it wasn't that bad. In my opinion, I think Eclipse is the best of the three movies so far. Finally, a Twilight movie that makes some sense and doesn't make my head spin. I really enjoyed watching it, especially the scenes with lots of action.
Once upon a time, I also had a mad obsession with Twilight. First year. I kept hearing this vampire book from my classmates, and out of curiosity I checked it on the Internet. I went to the website, read what was it all about, and then poof. I was suddenly caught in the Twilight fever. I wanted to read the book but I didn't have one yet so I spent all my time in front of the computer, trying to know more and more about those vampires. Boy, that only increased my hunger for it. I kept thinking about it. I couldn't get enough. I wanted the book.
I was addicted. Truly, madly, deeply.
Finally, my uncle gave me the book as a gift, and when I had it I couldn't put it down. I wanted to keep reading and to drink in every word. I wanted to devour it.
But you know how it went. Months later, the hunger and obsession faded away. I sort of got tired with it all, so I moved to other books.
I'd have to thank it though. Haven't you noticed that because of Twilight's popularity, hundreds of vampire and supernatural books have sprouted (now most of our books at home have black covers) and there is a renewed interest in reading? All thanks to Stephenie Meyer.
Now I couldn't imagine life without Twilight. Or vampires.

Let's just stare at each other forever.
