The Twilight.

Before today I was one of the people who had never seen or read Twilight. I am not a reader, so the books didn’t appeal to me, and for whatever reason it was, I never got around to seeing the movie because I was told that it was just a vampire love story or something and it just seemed... well it didn’t seem like my kind of movie. Last night we were at Jack’s house for drinks, and he got onto the topic of Twilight, and he was talking about how much he hated it, but this was all before he saw it. He said that one day Anna-Lisa made him watch it and as much as he pretended not to like it, he was drawn into it and he was more than interested in what was going on. He said was then dragged into see the second one at the movies with Anna-Lisa, and he pretended not to want to see it but he was, deep down, glad to be in the cinemas watching it. Listening to what he was saying, and how he was talking to Nathan about it really made me want to see it. I mean it’s not like I was ever against it or anything, but I just never thought that I would like it so I never bothered to watch it.

I got home last night from Jack’s to find that my laptop was still on, plugged in and charging. I open up Vuze and search Twilight, I click on the first one and skim through all the positive comments before I click download. I woke up this morning feeling like P-Diddy, but not just any P-Diddy, I woke up in a P-Diddy mood that was keen to watch twilight. Unfortunately I had a dentist appointment at noon, so mum woke me up at like eleven, and she shut down my P-Diddy mood by saying that I have to get up, shower and put clothes on so we can go to the clinic to get whatever it is that they are going to do, done. As we leave, she asks what is wrong with my broken Xbox, so I tell her that it is broken and out of warranty, so we can’t get it fixed for free and she says that we should go to Castle Plaza and see how much EB Games are selling them for to see if they are cheap enough to just buy a new one. They were like three hundred dollars, and I really thought that they were like two hundred dollars, so we left there for Target who were also selling them for three hundred, and then for Big W who were selling them for like two hundred and eighty eight or something.

We made our way home from there and the second we walked through the door I felt revitalized because the coolness of the air con being on for hours hit me, and I also felt my P-Diddyness coming back. I opened the laptop which was still on, open up Twilight and sit in my room, under the covers, with my laptop, for two hours, watching Twilight. I didn’t know what to expect, I mean I thought it was a vampire love story, but from what I overheard from Jack and Nathan it sounded like some kick ass Vampire on Werewolf fighting movie. By the end of the movie, I found myself asking myself why i never watched it before now, it has been out for like a year, why has it taken me so long to watch this. It was great, at the start I thought it was a little bit shitty how when the vampires move fast it looks like a shitty motion blur thing that you could get from Windows Movie Maker, but by the end of it I found myself leaning closer and closer to my laptops screen watching Edward Cullen kick the shit out of this other vampire guy... at the end of the movie, I skipped through the credits to the end, just to see if there was anything after the credits that I would miss if I just stopped watching, but there wasn’t.

I closed the Twilight media file or whatever it was, opened up Microsoft Word and started typing this. I am just glad that I can go and see the second one, right now at the movies... because... nah I am so into this, I just want to see more... I am so glad that I think we are going to the movies tonight, I am keen to see 2012, but I am much more keen to see the new Twilight movie right now...
