This is my VERY FIRST blog...EVER.
So to start off I thought I'd introduce a little bit of myself....as I post more blogs you'll get to know more of me I'm sure.
Right here goes....I don't know why but I think this maybe me coming across as nervous.
As you already know my name is Stacey. I'm 23 years old, and yes this is my FIRST BLOG. I think the reason for me choosing to start blogging now is I have very, very few people who...what's the saying?...'Get Me'...that's it. I have a daughter who I named Keira, who is 5 years old, who I'm hoping, one day, will 'Get Me'. As she's only 5 she pretty much enjoys anything I enjoy, and I hope that when she's older it'll stay that way...but she is also into what any 'normal' girl her age is into. High School Musical and Hannah Montana play a big part in her life, her dress sense, her music choices etc. You get it.
I however am slightly more eccentric ... at least, that's what I'm told.
I like reading A LOT. My favourite book series is The Twilight Saga....'Oh Nooo' I hear you say 'Not one of those twi-tweens'....As I already mentioned I'm 23 years old and a Mother. So, no, I'm NOT a 'Twi-Tween' or whatever you call those little teenage girls who think they need to be bitten by their boyfriends just so he can prove he likes her...
The reason I love Twilight has nothing to do with the underlying 'Vampire' story it has....It is the Love Story that binds me to it, nothing else. I read Twilight first as I'd heard it mentioned online in a lot of American press (over here in the UK, we hadn't really been struck with the phenomenon yet) and curiosity got the better of me and I went and bought a copy. I read it in a little over 2 days - I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. It totally enthralled me into it's own world and I'm now completely hooked. The frustrating thing was, that after I had read this amazing story, I had absolutely NO ONE to talk to about it. None of my friends knew anything about it. That is until a couple of months later when the movie was released. It was official, the UK had been hit with 'Twilight Fever' and all of a sudden everyone was in on something I'd already been a part of for about 5-6 months. I went to see the movie. I thought the book was more amazing. However, the film is my favourite film EVER. And I've seen HUGE amounts of films. This is the only film that I cannot remember how many times I've been to see it in the Cinema...Yes, that's right folks, I went to see it THAT many times at the Cinema, I CANNOT REMEMBER! I'm not ashamed....Lol.
It helps alot that the guy who plays Edward Cullen is everything my mind thought he would be. Rob Pattinson portrays Edward in my opinion perfectly. He does everything he should do as the character. Also Rob is an amazing guy with a personality that fame just won't change. This is what I'm thankful for. There would be nothing worse than some ordinary guy to play my favourite character and to do it for the fame and then become a total douche. Thank god for Rob is what I say. He stays grounded. He wants nothing more than to stay in and be with his friends and just be him. He has class that money can't buy. I love him for that.
So as you may have guessed, The Twilight Saga has took over most of my existence but other than being a mother I didn't really have much more in my life to begin with and I did just that - EXIST....nothing more. The books gave me something to do of an evening after my little girl had gone off to bed. I'm thankful of that. Yes I'm lonely but most people are, I'm just more upfront about it. But because of this fictional world Stephenie Meyer wrote about, I don't feel so lonely at night anymore. I just open a book and I'm there with them, living what they're living. Bella and Edward are my comfort.
Anyhoooooooo.....
After all that I'm pretty much spent when it comes to writing anymore of this....I will 'Blog' more. I enjoyed it. It was very therapeutic for me...Lol.
