So I just finished reading the "Twilight" saga- well the three books that are out- and I wanted to geek out about it.
Two words:
SO HOT.
Whenever I was reading and would have random outbursts of "OMG I JUST WANNA HAVE VAMPIRE SEX!" my roomates just politely shook their heads and ignored me. 
(Actually, on second thought- shouldn't they have been more weirded out?  Have I really desensitized them THAT much?   Hmmm.... must think on that later.)
But I'm TORN!  I know that this debate is the same one that every pubescent, fantasy-reading, dorky girl like me is thinking- but EDWARD OR JACOB?!?!  I have to say that I was appalled that it was even going to be a choice at the beginning of the book.  I mean, COME ON?!  Who doesn't want to jump Edward's bones?  But Jacob, I'm forced to admit, had quite the healthy rally.  Having babies and eventually dying with the awesome best-friend type?  Or immortal eternity with the one who you're obviously supposed to be with. 
Ain't that the eternal question?
Yikes.
So I'm stressing.  And not working.
I do have to say that I'm almost thankful I didn't discover this gem of a series earlier, because I'm fairly certain I'd flip out if I had to wait even LONGER for the last book in the series.
And I miss Harry Potter.  (Seemingly unrelated, but if you're reading this and are a fan of both, you understand how they are linked.)
Which brings me to another painful conclusion I draw again and again after I finish another fantasy book.
NOTHING THAT IS COOL IS EVER REAL.
Pirates?  Hobbits?  Dragons?  Magic?  Hogwarts?  Vampires?  Werewolves?  Mermaids?  Fairies? 
None of it.  Not even one thing is real.  I mean, COME ON.  Not one teensy weensy little element of fantasy can come true? 
**sigh**
I suppose that's why they call the genre fantasy.
