Annie, Don't Read This Post


I was late to the Twilight bandwagon. I didn't read any of the books until after I saw the movie last Thanksgiving. Partly, because I knew deep down I would like them--and I wasn't sure I wanted to go there. But I did, and I have, and in my excitement for the New Moon premiere, I find myself still wishing I had these to play with:
And I know if we were still ten my best friend, Audra would play with them with me. And I would be Bella and she would be Edward because I was usually mean and made her be the boy, and we'd make them say something like the following:

Bella: "Ugh! I thought school would never end! Do you want to come up to my room and almost make out?"
Edward: (chuckling) "Only if you have a blanket I can wrap you in first so your frail, human body doesn't get hypothermia."
Bella: "Don't worry about me." (Throws herself into his hard, granite body)

Kissing and hands knotting in hair ensue.

Bella: "Ouch!"
Edward: "Bella! What's wrong? It's so unlike you to pull away before you've had a chance to try and take your clothes off!"
Bella: "Oh! I think I chipped a tooth on your marble lips!"
Edward: (chuckling, then smirking) "So the kissing was too much for you?"
Bella: "Not even close. It will take more than a chipped tooth to stop me!" (she reaches for him but finds her arms restrained in an ironlike grip)
Edward: "Come on, we'd better get you to the hospital. They probably keep your chart permanently open."
Bella: "The hospital? Shouldn't we go to a dentist?"
Edward: "Carlisle attended the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery when it first opened in the 1840s. It was the first dental college in the United States, you know."
Bella: "No, I didn't know. Great, so now you guys are all dentists in addition to doctors? Will the playing field ever be even?"
Edward: (shrugging, with another chuckle) "Well, it looks like it's a good thing because now we can take care of your dental, as well as your medical needs."
Bella: "In a minute." (wraps her leg around him and more kissing and hands knotting in hair ensue).

Oh you KNOW you wanted me to read that! That was quality. Though it did make me want to construct some sort of plastic bubble for my girls. And when I say "my girls", I don't mean my boobs.

Have you picked back up where we left on on the novel we started in high school? I swear that dialogue was already in there, just with different names. We should have published it and then we'd be rich like Stephenie Meyer!

Ooooh I'm so excited for tonight!

That got a little steamy...thanks! Did Dr. Cullen donate any of his teeth to the dental museum?

I have nothing to say. Nothing.

This gets funnier every time I read it. I must be getting punchy in anticipation. By the time midnight rolls around I'll be seeing double.

Hope your caffeine strategy is working for you.

Hilarious. I love reading your posts. You always make me laugh out loud, which Chuck says I rarely do. I'm going to the movie on Monday and can't wait.

Melissa said...

Wow, I could have been reading that directly from the books, I wouldn't have known the difference. You have her writing style down to a "t".
