Becoming Bella
I’VE FINALLY COME OUT OF THE CLOSET about my obsession with all things Twilight. You now all know that I’ve read all four of the books at least twice, I can quote the movie off the top of my head and I’ve even dyed my hair the same color as Bella Swan.
Now, I’ve taken it a few steps further. I am Bella from head to toe. First, the hair color with the headbands.
The shirts with artistic flair (note to all my Twilighters – yes, I know this is more like book Bella than movie Bella…as the only thing movie Bella ever wears is flannel).
I have the right pants, with tears in the knees from tripping and falling down so much.
Ok really, these are my first pair of American Eagle jeans, and I bought them this torn and rugged. I fall down enough though that it was probably unnecessary for them to look this tattered right off the shelf. Two weeks of being with me would do that to them.
Side note to Kamie – thanks for suggesting them. You weren’t joking, they really are the most comfortable jeans I’ve ever had.
I even have the shoes! No, not the mountain man unlaced boots, but the Converse shoes. Except they are really Airwalk brand from Payless, because I’m cheap like that.
You simply can’t forget the ring that Bella wears throughout the whole movie, and in the second movie, New Moon, as well. Mine is not moonstone but I figured opal is pretty close as I seem to have an opal obsession. I’m true to my Bella roots though, and I wear it on the right index finger.
Last, but certainly not least (although he is little) I have myself a miniature Edward Cullen! We call him Lil’ Edward.
He showed up in my Easter Basket and he’s even more special than he takes credit for, as he has a special power no other Lil’ Edward possesses – Ming Reading.
You read that right.
M.I.N.G. reading.
I have as of yet to figure out what that truly means.
