Q & A With THIS Twilight Blogger

Yep, this is me and my smallest bestie, Mini E

Ana Cristina from The Danger Magnet has a cool side gig as the Miami Books Examiner. She has an awesome feature on her Examiner page of interviews with different Twilight bloggers over the age of 20. A few of my favorite fellow bloggers have been featured, such as Twitarded, Letters to Twilight and Ang (Amcas) from Why Not? Twilight, RPattz and Me.

This week, little old me was featured and I had a lot of fun with the questions Ana Cristina chose. Here’s a sneak peak:

Q. What are the pros and cons of being a Twilight fan over the age of 13?

Cons:

1. Some people think you are weird. Really. When my best friend and I went to the midnight release of the Twilight DVD, we had some parents there asking us, “Why did you even read these books in the first place? You’re not bothered by being so much older?” Uh well, I wasn’t until now, so thanks! (I didn’t know until then that 20 was too old for anything!) All of the people asking the questions hadn’t read the books, so I could understand their puzzlement because I was the same way before I gave in and read them myself.

2. You can feel a little silly going into Hot Topic every other week to check out the new merch. I thought I was past the age of frequently shopping at a place that sells neon green tutus.

3. I can’t discuss how attractive Taylor Lautner is without looking like a creeper. February can’t get here fast enough.

4. I have a dilema on what to do with all my Twilight posters. I’m way too old to actually hang them in my adult apartment, but I just can’t NOT do it either. That would be wasting.

Pros

1. I actually have a pretty good idea of what really went on at Isle Esme.

2. Having unlimited computer access and being able to spend however long I want on Twilight blogs and websites is a big plus when it comes to looking for things to write about.

3. Not having to ask anyone’s permission to get all the Twilight merch you want.

4. Being able to actually see the deeper themes in each of the books and understand that these are more than just “vampire books”.

5. I’m only two years younger than Robert Pattinson, and that to me signifies that I have a chance with him. He’s more likely to date me than a 13 year old, right?

I want to say thanks to Ana Cristina for thinking of me and including me with all the other awesome bloggers she featured and thanks for being just so freakin’ awesome! Check out the rest of her Examiner articles here.
