“So the lion fell in love with the lamb”

I have to say that as the days click bringing me closer to November 22nd and the premiere of the movie Twilight. I am getting rather excited. There hasn't been a movie in along time I was willing to pay the high box office prices to see that was driven by my children's needs to see it vs. my own.

Well Twilight based on the series by Stephenie Meyer most definitely did it for me. I will admit to having a vampire fetish. I have always loved the tortured soul Vamps like Brad Pitt's -- Louis "Louie" in Interview with a Vampire, Angel from the Buffy the Vampire Series, and Edward Cullen from the Twilight Series is certainly no different.

It might sound weird that a 38 year old mother of 2 got so wrapped up in a series of books aimed at young adults yet the premise of the book for me was universal. It was about love, angst and fighting against all the odds not to mention the character of Edward is written as Bella's white knight and what woman at some point in her life hasn't wished for the man that she loved to swoop in and shield and protect her from the world? I have to say that that's where all the fictional male characters I have written about came from. That's not to say that I don't write strong female characters because I do....but I believe no matter how strong a woman is it's still nice to have a man be there to take care of you. At least that's how I see it.

So if you haven't heard about Twilight yet...here's your chance to do some research and if you have I would love to hear what you all have to say.
