In case you thought I was cool...



So the movie Twilight is coming out next week and I can't hardly contain my excitement... Should I be ashamed that I already bought my tickets on Fandango? Or that I already bought the soundtrack? Or that I'm re-reading the series to get ready for it? Or that I dream about it? 

Yes, definitely, I should be ashamed. But if you knew me you wouldn't be surprised to find that I'm a closeted Sci-fi/Fantasy nerd. Here are a few of my least embarrassing reasons why, in list form:

-Earliest favorite show was Out of this World (about a girl who's half alien and could stop time)
-My childhood hero was a Alex Mack (a girl who got powers after some secret chemical was spilled on her) And I wanted to be her so bad that I asked my teacher to call me Alex (he actually did)
-I used to watch The X Files twice a day
-I went through a major Smallville phase 
-I was a Potterhead but now I'm a Twilighter
-I have loved Heroes since I first heard that it might become a show. Basically if its about people with super abilities I'll watch it.
-And lastly, sometimes when you're talking to me and I get a glazed look that's just because I'm thinking of a good super power for you.

Well I guess I'm out of the closet now. I hope you can still accept me.

you're funny ashlin. I can't say I'll be the sister-in-law that will watch sci-fi movies with you. I usually send troy to those movies with some guy friends.

thanks for the new post!
