Way more than a geek

So, I am more than a geek about this movie I posted below. It is getting quite sad. I am totally an embarrassment to myself. I have NEVER been this geeked out on a movie or book before. i really don't know what to do. I have never been this big of a nerd. It is really quite amazing for me. I guess my inner geekity will never cease to amaze me. Maybe this is my equivalent of starwars geekdom? Friends, please accept me anyway.

It has become ritual now that every night during the week when Bella becomes engrossed with her Blue’s clues, or Einsteins, or Yo Gabba Gabba, I get on the laptop (oh so convenient—sorry this is my first laptop ever) log in Facebook and then read Stephenie Myers’ site, and IMDb and Youtube then any other sites galore related to the damned movie below.
I hate you Stephenie Myers for turning me into a

GEEK.

Queen of the GEEKS.

Supreme GEEKOLAGEEK.

I think what is most got me doing this nightly tribute is not the Twilight books themselves, and not hot Robert Pattinson, who I did NOT think was good looking at all at first but now has grown on me—(don’t worry Christian B., you are still 1-5… R-pat is now just #6 plus he is pretty young, so I almost feel ashamed—but if Scott could like Lindsay Lohan at one time, I don’t feel THAT bad)…so, the thing that is fun for me is reading the HILARIOUS posts of commentary by fans and haters of the books/movie… I could read thousands of these threads and go back for more. I love the people who can’t spell or who write in gangster rap form, or who I swear to god are 12 or who are the German and French contingent of this fandom that get on to post…its too funny it’s world over.

All I can say is that it is a good distraction from watching the Blue’s Clues about School for the millionth time.

But it is a truly sad state of affairs that people get away with writing this way online… broken words, not to mention sentences commenting on things… though I am strangely compelled to read it. It is so freaking humorous. I seriously laugh out loud at a lot of it. Especially when the illiterate get into fights with other illiterati (yes making up my own words does not count, I have a license) about topics too. They say some pretty nasty stuff about each other and it can get like reading a book just in the threads. SOO entertaining. I repeatedly think—don’t these people have lives? Then I think, damn look at what I am doing…am I really any better? Or can I just type a smidge better? I think one of the more nerdy things about reading all these posts is the new vocab/lingo I pick up. Like OME….instead of OMG.
OMEOME!!!!
E paying homage to the lead hot vamp Edward….too funny… yeah, I am just about the only one who thinks it’s cute. S-A-D. Someone poke a fork through me, I am done.

And how sad is it that I lent my book out and am counting the days till I get it back…?
How sad is it that I can not wait till 11/21?
How sad is it that I can not wait for my designer friend to make our Team Edward shirts? Yes, my geekification has infiltrated other people. MY AGE. And we are planning to document it in shirt form.
How sad is it that after the movie I will be in high anticipation until the dvd comes out? How many months later?? Birthday present Scott?? He might need to buy two as I am sure I will wear out the first dvd.
How sad it is that after the dvd, I will be waiting for the next movie?

How do I know there will be a next movie? You should see the legions of fans this Stephenie Myer has ALONE. We are talking a Teenage ARMY. An all-girl army. And then multiply that by their sucker boyfriends who will be dragged to see this… well, right there alone you have a hit. Not to even mention the factors from anther site I found called, oh yes, TwilightMOMs.com!!!! No, I didn’t sign up. I drew the line there, proving my geekdom does have its boundaries. Although those boundaries are located in a galaxy FAR FAR FAR away.
