I know this is a little late, but I loved this post.....<br /><br />Love the 70's pictures. We had the same playpen of doom at my house, along with the plastic carseat that sat in mom's lap in the front seat, no straps on the metal rickety high chair, and who had ever heard of helmets when riding your pink banana seat bike? How did we ever survive, I tell ya......<br /><br />And I read and memorized every Judy Blume book and no amount of chanting and exercise has ever helped my poor sad chest, lolPerfectDatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04085232203920557545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325136241555317156.post-19235784444398879582009-07-21T22:31:30.973-04:002009-07-21T22:31:30.973-04:00Okay...time to fess up that I have been reading yo...Okay...time to fess up that I have been reading your blog for a couple of weeks now and that I love it!<br />Wanted to reply to this one, because I have recently just finally got my sister into Twilight too...infact she still has all my books because after reading them so quick the first time, she wanted to re-read them again slower. This is agonizingly slow because I want them back!! You know she's getting them all for her birthday next month just so I can get my damn copies home and back on the shelf (or in my hands!) where they belong!!<br />But...this is the first time my (younger) sister and I have had anything in common since...well the 1990 NKOTB thing we don't talk about much anymore (we argued, it wasn't pretty!)<br />What is pretty annoying though is that she has other friends she has since dicovered likes...erm, is obsessed with it too (how come when they like it's cool? When I told her to read it she had an excuse?! Hmmm..) so she spends all her time gushing over Edward with them and I'm left to discuss it with my 6 year old niece again...but then I prefer Jasper anyways :p<br />Oh well...at least we have it in common and should we be flung together at family events and whatnot...I can now talk to my sister again and she listens - yay!! (as does my niece...I think I brainwash that child...oops!)<br />So...erm...yeah thanks for the blog - keep them coming - you make me smile!Monkey Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05599902392378947555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325136241555317156.post-61831865906277480302009-07-21T18:58:24.008-04:002009-07-21T18:58:24.008-04:00awww so sweet...i'm trying to get my sister in...awww so sweet...i'm trying to get my sister into twilight too, the other day i finally cnvinced her to watch the movie together and she liked it!, like likey likey!!!she even jumped kind of scare when edward jumps in bella's car after she ran fromo home, i mean she was INTO the movie, and i was sooo happy!!! next are the books!! =) i'm happy for you STYLimonPowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12584942319317007039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325136241555317156.post-5507794286132969522009-07-21T15:38:59.962-04:002009-07-21T15:38:59.962-04:00Aww.

Then I followed and dragged my sister in law and then she got my other sister in law. I swear, funny. We are not a cult! Funny, we can have whole conversations on Jasper, Edward, whatever Twilight.

I'm not as eloquent as I would like when putting my feeling to words but i LOVE this blog. Sometimes I just don't know what I love the most: the posts or the comments. Hope STY and JJ don't get this the wrong way but<br />I LOVE my fellow bloggers!!!<br /><br />There... thanks for hearing my confession.<br /><br />@STY: I've also seen another video from those guys. I think I found it through twitarded (nowadays, I think I find everything through twitarded...) and it was super. And red hair, hum? HOT! Don't know why you hide from camera, woman!<br /><br />@onoimatwitard2: glad I made you laugh. Thanks for returning the laugh, it's hysterical!<br /><br />@VitaminR: you made me feel mushier, if that's even possible.<br /><br />Thanks all you guys for making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and (not so ab)normal.<br /><br />Kisses!<br /><br />P.S.: verification word: enymen???!!??

I ...The same thing happened with me and my sister!! I have two sisters and for whatever reason while we lived under the same roof we didn't like each other that much. We were more like coworkers who were forced to interact pleasantly while we were together but when we left the nest we stopped talking. Gradually I began talking with my older sister and we became great friends. However, my little sis is 7 years younger than me and we did not enjoy our last years together. All of a sudden, Twilight comes into my life bringing all the joy...well, you know how great it is. The point is I got the first book for my sister at Christmas and she is now almost as obsessed as I am. We can talk for hours about Twilight but mostly about life. She just came to visit me for a week and we had an awesome time. So, THANK YOU STEPHENIE MEYER!!<br /><br />PS- you girls are awesome. You are my reading material on my lunch break!Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462584423026291857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325136241555317156.post-60475819324618767122009-07-21T12:23:05.183-04:002009-07-21T12:23:05.183-04:00This was such a sweet and touching post!

And as everyone previously said, enough to ignite mucho twi-sib jealousy. Neither of my sisters are particularly funny, or squee-like (unless you are talking about Matthew McConaughey, in which case, fucking ew anyway. SO not my type. Twilight vs How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days? Puh-lease. As if. Twilight has a far more believable storyline, sparkly pussy vampires and all). <br /><br />Laymee is my sister in all things fangirl, all things "unmentionable" etc. While the lady is not all Twisessed as some of us are, she GETS the story, likes it, and loves the pretteh in the film - though she wishes bad things on Kstew. And honestly.......yeah. <br /><br />STY, truly excellent post, Sister Snarky sounds pretty fecking fabulous, and yeah, what everyone else said - rock that beach body.

If my sister wrote something about that like me - well, first I'd check her for alien replication, but you get the idea. She's Budweiser, I'm red wine and I've accepted that, but your post makes me want to call her and beg her to read the book that has apparently launched, healed, strengthened 1000s of relationships. Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />And I think I was separated at birth from your sister! Older sister here, no boobs, 40s with kids, original Buffy fan, etc. I so appreciate hearing from the 40+ twitards... they're referring to Brad Pitt as 'old' on another site today and it makes me want to hit someone! With my cane, of course.

So we talk twilight at family get togethers, there not as over the top about it as I am. One is only reading the books as the movies come out, Pfff ... how frustrating is that!<br /> They think I'm a little insane for going set stalking for a weekend back in April. I haven't told them yet that I'm planning on going again for a week this time in October for the filming of Eclipse! muhahaha<br />My BFF who I've known for 28 years made be buy Twilight, we were on the ferry to Port Angeles headed to an AC/DC concert in Tacoma. We forgot to bring something to read with us and went into the gift shop looking for something to read. She shoves the book at me and says you got to read this. I was hesitant at first. After about three pages, I was hooked and the rest is history!...red_bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04643896155215594362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325136241555317156.post-63402934853317300422009-07-21T10:54:47.459-04:002009-07-21T10:54:47.459-04:00this is SO sweet!!!!

Thank god my boss is out until Thursday. Thanks for sharing your sis story STY it was truly lovely. :D You look bloody great in a bikini. I think I wore a bikini once and got such bad sunburn, can you say "calomine lotion how I love thee". I never wore that bastard thing again. <br /><br />My little sis is across the pond, well my whole family is across the pond, so my phone bill is always sky high, but I've gotten her into the Twilight mania and she is the coolest chick I know. Just by the way I say "hello" she can tell if something is wrong.. <br /><br />Then I have my Twilight bloggy buddies. YEAH! All super cool girlies. <br /><br />@Vit - I've seen your vid too many times to mention and it still cracks me up.

She refuses to read the book, however we have a bet now that I'm going to win so hopefully by the end of the year she'll be reading the books. <br /><br />We still bond over our mutual love for RPattz though, and she gets a kick out of the blog too, but really only likes posts about herself and about Rob. She still calls me a huge dork :) but that's ok, I have been my entire life. She was the sporty one I was the band dork and art freak :) Even though now I'm getting sporty too and she admits I could probably beat her if we raced.<br /><br />Twilight has still brought other members of my family closer to me. I have gotten three cousins into the books and they've become obsessed too. One is just 16 the other two are in their mid 30's (i'm 27). They all know about the blog and have a good laugh over it too. <br /><br />But I'm still holding out for the day the twi-hater comes to me and says "omg, Edward Cullen swoon!"Team Six Packhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08378545885127403088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325136241555317156.post-54704808437961428522009-07-21T09:45:12.304-04:002009-07-21T09:45:12.304-04:00Foxy STY (from one of the Mainers):

I wish I had someone to Twi-enlighten, but the only family member with whom I have any contact is a somewhat old-fashioned, extremely nice aunt in her late fifties, who lives in rural Georgia, and who could probably handle the first three volumes, but might possibly be disturbed by the fourth. ;)<br /><br />By the way, I loved the vintage childhood photos—you gals were mad for plaid! And that playpen photo is like a notice for a product recall!Mrs. Robinsanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17731608264575209426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325136241555317156.post-20031846659894768962009-07-21T09:31:17.034-04:002009-07-21T09:31:17.034-04:00Booooobies.

Go unicorns!<br /><br />@mmMoxie - I have to admit that I am thrilled that we found something that we can enjoy together. Just one more reason to adore Twilight (& RPatts), I guess!<br /><br />@Selene - thanks for the tip - I love that video - I've seen others (or at least one) they did and it cracked me up! And I am s-l-o-w-l-y working up to "pic of me <b>now</b>" readiness - eek!<br /><br />@onoimatwitard2 [LOVE the name btw!] - Oh the things I've lost over the years as a result of leaving them on the roof of the car - been there, done that! But never with my twi books, thankfully - lol! And thanks from "the girls" & me for the compliment! I don't look much like that these days (see next comment...) but I haven't totally hagged out in the last decade and a half, either... : )<br /><br />@themrs - I have to admit that I tried to get my mom on board, but she hasn't gotten around to reading the copy of Twilight I sent her for Mother's Day. : (<br /><br />@Jenn - I was a late arrival myself - but I don't live in WA so I don't feel quite as bad about it... There's always next time! Although set-stalking seems to have gone crazy these days - I am afraid of what will happen by the time they get to BD - lol...<br /><br />@VitaminR - Even though you don't have a "real" sis it sounds like your bff is a real keeper! And I hope this didn't disappoint after the build-up - lol! I almost DIED when my sister started whispering about YOUR video! I got all whisper-screechy - <i>"I KNOW her!!!"</i> - it was really funny... And that video STILL cracks me up - definitely a keeper. That pic is one of maybe three taken in my lifetime that I actually don't think I look awful in. And DEFINITELY the only one ever taken of me in a bikini on a beach, ever (I am normally neither a bikini girl not a beach girl - can you tell how white we are?!). I am not sure if this will make it easier or harder to post a "Me Now" pic - lol! ftr my hair is red now. and straight - I finally beat the Jersey Girl out of it after that pic was taken... : )<br /><br />@Track 10 - thank you! I am glad I wasn't the only one making wild little arm-circles back in the day (you must not have done it right or often enough or something - lol)! It is great to bond with family over Twi - just one more reason to adore the series imho!<br /><br />@cutie - having both JJ AND Sister Snarky to bond with over Twilight is absolutely fabulous, I must say! Who would have thought something like this would be what would draw us together??? : )<br /><br />@Meghan - yup, it sounds like you get to have Edward in Maine! Plus we have a bunch of readers in ME and I am sure they want him there, too - so please share with them, ok? : )<br /><br />OH - and @ Sister Snarky - yeah that's right - YOU!
