  1. I am all for a good vampire story–and I was a huge Buffy fan, but I just can’t get into Twilight. I don’t see the attraction of Robert Pattinson and I thought the female character was uninspiring. Take away the fangs, and it seems to be a typical abusive relationship.

  2. Oh yeah? I’ll have to talk to my girls about that. They are fans; I am not.

  3. I liked the Twilight Books. I also wore my Converse and my hoodie when I took my 4 yr old to see Where the Wild Things Are. And I own a Wii.

  4. The way I get ahead for Thanksgiving is making sure I called Boston Market to reserve my food :-D

  5. Kate – same with me, I was a huge “Buffy” fan but find the “Twilight” books dull. I also find it disturbing that so many young girls are in love with Edward when he’s a STALKER.

  6. Personally, I don’t get the whole vampire trend.
