Vampires and Werewolves
Tomorrow is the release of the new Stephanie Meyer book I think it is called Breaking Dawn. Well, Tanshyle and Bean are very excited to read this new book as soon as it comes out. I can't see the appeal of these books. I think they sound really weird because they are about a young girl that falls in love with a 100 year old vampire, yet she is torn because there is a werewolf that is her own age and she is stuck to choose between the two. Needless to say, these books have girly written all over them. Well when we were engaged, the 3rd book was released and I thought I would surprise T by getting the book for her to read. Anyone that has tried to buy these books, as soon as, they came out would know that it is harder to get then a new Harry Potter book. So I went into Borders and every other bookstore for two weeks straight asking for this romance book. I am pretty sure I was known as the tall gay guy that comes in here and leaves very disappointed when he can never get his special book. I finally got it after two weeks of checking at these bookstores everyday. When I was checking out with the book, two older ladies there were pointing at me and saying, to another guy, see there is a guy that is buying the book. After trying to convince them that the book was for my wife, I just gave up and resigned myself to the title of tall gay guy that has to see if Bella ends up with Jacob or Edward. So I will figure out some way to get revenge, but for now it looks like just a couple more weeks of trips to the bookstore to get a chick book for my wife, and trying to convince people it really isn't for me. -MATT

My condolences Matt :)...but what a good man you are to buy the book even as the "tall gay guy who wants to find out if Bella ends up with Jacob or Edward". After reading your post I have decided NOT to make Mark go buy the book for me at 12:01 tonight on his own. I will tell him he has you to thank :)
