The Social Vampire

Twilight the MovieGood morning!  Yes, I’m talking about vampires again!  (see, I really can talk about something else besides Freebie Force and the fact that today is payday and I’m going to get paid….)

Any of my regular blog fans know I love good vampire stories, movies, television, and literature.   Of course we lost the good television part with the cancellation of Moonlight.   I’ll say it again:  CBS - you blew it!

But, I do love the Internet.  Where else can you so quickly connect with others who share your interests?  I’ve just recently been drawn into the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.  I talked about that in my recent post, Vampire Love

I really love this series and if you even remotely like vampire lit - you MUST read this series.  Or at least read Twilight.  (you’ll get hooked, trust me)  The fun part is that these books, and their author, Stephenie Meyer, have a HUGE fan base.    A Google search shows pages of fan message boards and sites.

I thought it would be fun to connect with others who love the books so did a Yahoo Groups search.  I belong to several Yahoo Groups, and even run one on EFT/Abraham-Hicks, so figured there would have to be one for Twilight.  Sure enough, up popped The_Twilight_Chat_Group.   It’s got 400+ members and is growing every day.    I joined and have found them to be a very friendly and informative bunch of people from all walks of life and ages.   GREAT fun for Twilight fans.  (warning:  they ARE a very chatty bunch, so if you decided to join and receive individual emails expect upwards of 250+ a day!)

It is a moderated group — which I personally like.   Why?  It’s not because of censorship - but to help get rid of the spammers that love to invade chat groups.  It also keeps the group “family-friendly” which is good for this group as it does attract a very wide age-range.

Edward/Bella BraceletSo, do you like Twilight and would you like to connect with other obsessed fans?   (okay that IS a joke - I am nuts about this series too…)  So much so that I actually also did a search to see if there were bracelets out there inspired by the charm bracelet Bella wears in the book.  Of course there were!   I actually just ordered one.  You’ll find many, for example, on eBay - some that look pretty darned good, and of course others that don’t look quite so nice.  I settled on one done by a woman named Lara.    I loved the look of hers and we talked back and forth via email.  Very nice woman, I liked the looks of it in the picture, so I decided to give it a try.  I’ll let you know when it comes in and what I think of it.

In case you don’t know the movie comes out on November 21st.  It originally was going to be released on December 12th.  However, the Harry Potter movie was pushed back to 2009 and Twilight jumped in and took the opening.

Now…anyone up for a midnight Twilight movie release outing?

Blessings on all your hopes and dreams.

Holly
