vampires are just plain cool.

I am not a girly girl. Never have been. But sometimes i have experiences that remind me clearly of this fact.
I spent the afternoon with some of the girls in my family seeing Eclipse. Let me preface this by saying, i loved the books. I thought they were fun, and different, and incredibly entertaining. I also unsurprisingly loved the movies. Do i find Edward's hair incredibly over quaffed? Yes. Is Bella's incessant moping annoying? Yes. Is Jacob incredibly whiny, and a not so good actor? DEFINITELY yes. But i still enjoy a fun story as much as the next person.
Except......
I loved the movie, i really did. But the swooning, and the giggling, and the whispering by the audience every time someone kissed or took their shirt off made it incredibly difficult for me to not roll my eyes. In fact I'll admit it. I did roll my eyes quite a number of times. But when the long awaited (for me anyway) fight scene took place, i believe i may have been the only person in the room, who when jasper LITERALLY punched someones head off, said out loud "that was AWESOME".
My sisters think I'm quite crazy.
Its not that I'm not a romantic. I am, in a sense. But give me a Colonel Brandon, a Mr. Darcy, or a Captain Wentworth. An Edward Ferrars, a Mr. Knightly, or a Mr. Rochester, any day over a Jacob OR an Edward.
To quote a favorite television character of mine. "you have to admit, vampires are just plain cool." and to throw in my two cents, werewolves aren't bad either.
But for me, well, id rather just see them being werewolves and vampires. Sure throw in a little love story, it always makes for better story telling, but in the end it was the head punching, werewolf tackling, arm ripping off, bouncing off the trees, fight that i found the most entertaining.
That probably says something about me, but hopefully nothing that makes you love me any less. ;)
