Well, I won't see Kira for the next day. The new Stephanie Meyer book in the Twilight series, "Breaking Dawn" just came out tonight at midnight. I had to go to Walmart and wait for the book. They didn't actually put it out until 12:30 am, and that was after "I" went and talked to a manager. There were a bunch of girls there waiting for the book, but I had to go get the manager so that they could all get their books. I just wanted to go home and go to bed.
Now I will be neglected for the next day. I might as well not even exist. I am a Twilight Breaking Dawn widower. Maybe if I was a vampire Kira would like me more. Maybe if I were a preternatural being, a corpse, animated by an undeparted soul or demon, that periodically leaves the grave to disturb the living, an extortionist who preys ruthlessly upon others until I am exhumed and impaled or burned (see "vampire" at dictionary.com), then Kira would like me more than this book.
I think you have to have seen or experienced the world through the eyes of a 13 to 15 year old girl to like the Twilight series. I read the first book and I barely made it through to the end. It is hard to enjoy a book when you don't like the protaganist, an annoying, selfish little girl, who thinks of nothing but her own selfish, unnatural infatuation with with a "corpse, animated by an undeparted soul," who is tempted with eating her all the time. OOOHHHH, How Romantic!! If only you could express your love to someone by just not eating them. That's the story isn't it, that he loves her so much that he keep from acting on his strongest desire to eat her blood. I love you so much that I am not going to eat you and suck out your blood.
I guess I just can't relate to a teenage girl, especially one who is in love with an animated corpse. I don't know if she turned into a vampire herself in the next book, because I didn't read it, but it looked like the story was going that way. I guess girls like the story a lot for some reason though.
Anyway, I'm a widower for now, second to a romantic teenage vampire fantasy book.

wow, that was harsh. But funny, cause Doug didn't like it either cause there waasn't enough action. I went and got my book today in Atlanta and all these teenage girls were walking out with their book and here I come in all excited. You'll just never understand unless you reach inside and find your feminine inside peter. It's a girl book!
Well it ends like a rock dropping in the ocean. I feel like Meyer was trying to make everybody happy. "And they all lived happily ever after."
You are so funny Pete and what you say is so true. Unfortunately, my husband falls right into the category of widowed husbands too. I hope all is well for you two!
