A friend suggested I read this the other day. I thought it was aimed more at "youngsters". Can anyone tell me if it's worth a go please?

It's on the landing window sill...I moved it closer to where I might need it, ie the bath or bed...I have to pass it all day long...I nearly pick it up every day...but I'm saaaaaaaving it!

Oh no, you're right...it stinks, I can never read it again!

These things just pop into ones head during idle moments, Berrie.

How could Jasper handle being around her in the ballet studio, then go berserk over a paper cut?

mrsmaidamess · 10/04/2009 21:16

That 'period' question crossed my mind too.

Berrie · 10/04/2009 21:15

You two have been thinking waaaaay too much...unlike myself... I never give Edward et al a passing thought.

HappyandEiknowit · 10/04/2009 21:15

also jasper was more restrained in school and let his guard down when they were at home so maybe thats why he attacked her

That's so spooky disenchanted, i wondered the exact same thing only this afternoon. i guess if she used tampons they would, ahem, keep everything contained.

HappyandEiknowit · 10/04/2009 21:12

i was thinking that when i read it last time i reckon that he has to restrain himself anyway so it wouldnt be much of an issue seeing as how she smells like dinner to him anyway

Snigger...never occurred to me.

X-posted Libra. She's obviously a Buffy fan so she's bound to be biased against Twilight. Twilight never claimed to be the new Buffy. The writer had an agenda from the beginning and found plenty of 'evidence' to back up her claims. But it's all just her opinion, it means nothing. Everybody will draw their own conclusions from reading the books themselves. it's not everybody's cup of tea but so many people derive a lot of pleasure from these and many other books that have been heavily criticised, often by people who haven't read them.

Also with Jasper, how he was the 'newest veggie' and when Bella cut her finger he went for her at Edwards home... if he was that unstable as to attack someone for a drop of spilt blood how could he go to school?

What if that happened in class, or they did that finger prick experiment in his class?

Disenchantegg3 · 10/04/2009 21:09

Wellll,

I was wondering about how at first Edward was consumed by the smell of her blood and he found it hard to be near her ... and then as time went on it got easier but still had to be very careful etc ...

what about on her time of the month? I mean they were never apart so surely that would have been an issue? Or am I just an odd ball for thinking that?! lol

EdwardCullensWife · 10/04/2009 21:09

I've been reading that silly article. She chucks in lots of quotes which, taken completely out of context, appear to support her arguments.
She makes Edward out to be some sort of bully when actually he's the complete opposite.

LibrasJusticeLeagueofBiscuits · 10/04/2009 21:08

pinkteddy thank you for that!!

EdwardCullensWife how do you respond to that article as a journalist?

HappyandEiknowit · 10/04/2009 21:08

a dead slug?? not in my dreams its not haha humna humna humna...drool...

EdwardCullensWife · 10/04/2009 21:07

Spit it out, woman

Disenchantegg3 · 10/04/2009 21:03

I bet its like a dead wet slug. Ha.

I have a question actually ... but its a bit gross ...I wondered whilst I was reading the books ...

Berrie · 10/04/2009 21:02

Uuurgh! Quit talking about the tongue!

HappyandEiknowit · 10/04/2009 21:01

i wouldnt mind giving the ice cold marble tongue (etc) a try myself... it would probably be the only time i would ever enjoy shagging an 107 year old as i cant imagine it being pleasent with any other man who had lived longer than a century either way im obviously on team edward

Disenchantegg3 · 10/04/2009 20:59

Yea, I was quite geared up for that, lol.

But then again Im a bored housewife. Hahaha

Berrie · 10/04/2009 20:58

Spose

EdwardCullensWife · 10/04/2009 20:56

A bit of detail would have been nice. One minute they're naked in the sea, the next it's the morning after. Bah.
