OhMiGod! OhMiGod! OhMiGod!

Whew… I write this with a lack of air in my lungs, the rosiest cheeks I’ve featured (possibly) ever and a grand smile! I understand that Myspace allows many people – everyone – to interact with celebrities, but I just… I COULD DIE!

So… Cymbria and I have a mild full blown obsession with Beverly Hills 90210 (not this 2.0 bs, the old stuff)! As of late, we’ve discovered Steve Sanders, the new love of both of our lives. He just… the character is such an amazing guy but always seems to get the short end of the stick! I mean, Kelly left him, he almost got kicked out of school, he went through all of that effort and emotional strain only to find out that his birth parents passed away, then he ends up with a transvestite, then he ends up with Claire! I mean… talk about not getting a break!
One episode, while we were paying very close attention, we were delighted to discover that Ian Ziering was credited with writing – in some way. This BLEW OUR MINDS! I immediately logged onto my myspace and messaged him with our newly discovered love.
Now, I don’t know much about myspace and I haven’t been on it very long… but, He freaking sent us a message back! Like OMIGOD!OMIGOD!OMIGOD! It wasn’t much, but it was so Steve – so Ian – that we were in giggle-shock for… well, I’m still not done!! Here is the message he sent us back:
Thats very sweet ladies. Thank you.
IZ

I can imagine him looking at us and saying that very line… it’s too amazing for words. Now, I also realize that it’s entirely possible that his manager runs his site and he didn’t even get to see our message and BLAH BLAH BLAH, but I don’t care! Furthermore, anyone who would argue that point any further just can’t stand having others happy – ecstatic!

“Jacob, my Jacob!”

A wise man (my brother) once told me, “If someone ends up not liking you, chances are that somewhere down the road, you wouldn’t have liked them.”

What if Twilight had the same characters, but a different sequence of events? What if Bella had already been with Jacob and knew that yes, he would have left her as well?! If she would have known that she and Jacob could love each other without the physical (because they already crossed that line), then Bella would have drove away in the sunset – with a smile. Sure, Jacob and Edward would still vie for her time and her love, but Bella wouldn’t have any qualms or doubts of her decision to marry Edward because she would already know. Sure, the black haired children were cute, but how happy were they? Ok… so in the book they would have been happy. It’s also possible that Bella and Edward won’t get married… We’ll have to see when Breaking Dawn comes out (SATURDAY)!

Fortunately for me, I did date my Jacob. He’s not a werewolf, but he’s a pretty good friend. I’m pretty sure that we both still love each other, but for me it’s more of a friend love. On the other hand, my Edward has every little bit of my heart! Yet again, he’s not a vampire, but he’ll do – quite nicely, in fact. It’s very interesting… If I would have read this series when it first came out, I would have sworn that Jacob was Edward. I would have sworn that our love would last forever and that he would always be there for me. It turns out that sometimes the Bellas can’t forgive the Edwards for leaving, and sometimes she’s not supposed to. I guess it goes to show that you never know when there’s an Edward lurking around the corner, and you know even less if that Edward will turn into Your Jacob.

Why won’t it stop?

I’m less than 200 pages from the end of Eclipse. This should excite me, but it doesn’t. I dread the end of this book almost as much as I truly dread the release of Breaking Dawn! Of course I want to read them, they’ve become my whole life! But why do they have to end? Why do I have to wake up without Edward (or Jacob) staring back at me?

I think what really bothers me is that I honestly feel happier reading these books than living my life. Is that as messed up as it sounds? I love my boyfriend, but I want my Edward. Is there a difference? I have no idea. I wish I knew what to feel. I wish for some kind of release, but maybe these books are my release. Maybe, these books are opening my eyes to true happiness. Maybe reading these books will encourage me to find/produce true happiness in my own life!!

Then again, maybe I’ll use my History Degree to become an anthropologist and spend the rest of my life searching for vampires… named Edward *sigh*.
