General

I found the fandom as I searched for a way to help feed/curb my addiction to Twilight. I had read the series through four times, and no matter what, it never changed and I somehow felt like I needed something to be different with these characters so that I could find an outlet for the anxiety, the excitement...the passion that the story stirred inside of me. Surfing through web site after web site, I finally accepted that I was not the only married woman with a family who was obsessed with this crazy phenom.

I stumbled upon Wide Awake by AngstGodess003 and my life has never been the same. This led to me reading more and more stories and eventually gave me the courage to write my own. I've made aquaintances and friends through this amazing fandom, and for that I am eternally greatful. I've found an outlet and those who understand my need for one.

What I'm Into & Not That You'll Care: (in no particular order)

Music-I love a little bit of everything; from alternative to the standards...it's all good in my book! (alternative is my fave)

-On my iPod you will find artists such as: The Envy Corps, Finding the Warren, Cashes Rivers, Paramore, Kings of Leon, All American Rejects, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Green Day, Flogging Molly, Pink, Modest Mouse, The Kooks, Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, Scissor Sisters, Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, Glenn Miller, Dean Martin, Ella Fitzgeral, The Pogues, Finger Eleven, Muse, Gwen Stefani, No Doubt, Foo Fighters...I could go on and on!

Reading-I love entering someone else's world, and devour stories that completely take over my being.

Family & Friends-I love speding time with my kids & hubby. I love my "girl-time" with my sister...we get to obsess over Twilight & Rob. I love hanging out with friends and enjoying the occasional adult night out when we can have a good time and act not-so-adult for a couple of hours.

Sarcasm-I love it, use it every day!

Geeks & Nerds-Love 'em! I think that's one of my attractions to Robert Pattinson, he can play such an adorable nerd! (See the Bad Mothers Handbook) Oh, and I married the g33k of my dreams! :)

Sports-I play roller derby!

Robert Pattinson-Yeah, he's HOTT!

Chuck Taylors-I have 6 pair and I love 'em and need a pair in EVERY color!

What I'm Not Into:

Mean people-constructive & open minded people are more fun.

Smoking-I think it's gross...that's just me. I don't tell others they can't do it, that's not my place...just don't do it around my kids.

Reality TV-I don't get it. I really don't.
