Another New "Kid"
Posted: Tue Jan 26, 2010 12:55 am
Hi, I just signed up as I had been reading the forum for awhile and figured I might as well become a member. For the record I am also a guy, so I know I'm in a minority here, but I am just fine with that.
How did you pick your screen name?
Well, it is a reference to the town I live in, and the number would be that of my favorite baseball player.
How did you come to read Twilight and which book is your favorite?
Good question! I was really late to this party. And I will try to keep this short, but might ramble. I first heard about Twilight some time ago from the girl who I was dating at the time. I am not, and have never been a reader, so I really wasn't that interested. But I remember her telling me things that I sort of dismissed, that now I totally find myself doing, like checking out Stephenie's playlists for the books, and reading all her extras and outtakes. So, what happened was, and this is embarassing, but I was at home one day, and somehow started watching a movie on Lifetime called Speak, starring one Kristen Stewart, and I sort of became enthralled by her personality in the movie. I looked it up on Wikipedia and found out it was filmed in my hometown, actually the house in the movie is two streets over from where I lived at the time of the filming and where my parents still live, but somehow I did not know a movie was being filmed practiacally next door. So anyways, when I was on Wikipedia, I noticed that it said that Kristen was going to be in the Twilight movies. I mentioned this to my girflriend as it was sort of a weird coidence as this was not long after she first told me about it. Soon after, her and I caught the film Adventureland, so to be completley honest, it was Kristen Stewart who actually got me into it, as I like her acting (I know that might shock some), so eventually, flash forward to like the week New Moon the movie came out, I got Twilight from the library, and convinced two friends to watch it with me. I liked it a lot, and found another friend to go see New Moon with me in the theater. The night I got home from seeing New Moon, I started reading Eclipse, and breezed through it and Breaking Dawn in no time. After that, I went back to the begining and read Twilight and New Moon. I know thats probably not the conventional way of doing it, but thats how it worked for me, and as a non-reader with a poor imigiantion, I think I needed to see a visual representation of the charecters to aid me in my reading. Haha, I know thats a lot of information, but that is how it happened. ... As for which is my favorite, I will have to get back to you on that. I need to read them again, they all sort of blur together in my mind, and all have elements I love. But I will go with Eclipse for now.
Who do you like best: Edward, Bella, or Jacob?
Bella is my favorite, but I would be a member of Team Edward if that was the question.
Who is your favorite minor character?
I would have to say Alice.
What are your hobbies?
I love baseball, college football and basketball, and listening to my favorite music. I also walk a lot, for fun and excersize, on a daily basis.
Where are you from (general area like Montana, not exact town!)
Ohio
How old are you? (In general, like teen, 20's, 30's, 40's etc)
mid-20's
Anything else you would like to share.
Happy to be here, thanks for having me!
