(It was always ketchup, thankfully.)<br /><br />I lived with a purebred gray wolf for many years and wolves are such glorious, loving and beautiful creatures that I have always been mystified by the concept of werewolves. But I do believe in shapeshifters and have even known a few. I suspect everyone has that capability.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-58529089484534831382009-11-22T10:01:53.452-08:002009-11-22T10:01:53.452-08:00Leslie, I would love to visit the actual town repr...Leslie, I would love to visit the actual town represented in the books. That would be amazing!<br /><br />Duta, I read mostly non-fiction too, oddly enough. I have seen one of the Twilight movies, however, and it was very good. And yes, they do walk amongst us.<br /><br />Bonnie, *heh* You must see the movies!<br /><br />Shaista, oh, gosh, I'm sorry to hear you have Lupus. Whoo, maybe you are a werewolf? I sort of doubt it, though. :-)<br /><br />Alane, you son just may be a genius...! Omigosh...! I would bet he has lots of girlfriends, who would appreciate the effort he makes in getting to know something about what the girls like. He doesn't sound like a geek to me, but a really cool guy...! :-)<br /><br />Susan, yes, and you live closer to the woods than I do, don't you? *heh*<br /><br />The Bug, I have only seen the movie -- the first installment -- so I don't know about Jacob yet. I think I will go see the second movie. :-)<br /><br />VioletSky. :-) Out here on the We(s)t Coast, we all have a dark side.<br /><br />Anna, oh, I would imagine you have supernatural creatures there in Africa too...! :-)<br /><br />Elise, oh yes...! :-)<br /><br />Cloudia, Aloha...! :-)<br /><br />Nancy, the movies are really fun, and you'll get to see some of Vancouver and the surroundings.<br /><br />Jennifer, yes, I think the books have a wide appeal for everyone -- teens and adults like. I love the movies!<br /><br />Alissa, wow! The books must appeal to men too. I had no idea.<br /><br />Alicia, one of our shape-shifter co-workers is retiring. Yay! Double-Yay!<br /><br />Pilgrimchick, yes, two of the movies were filmed here, one was filmed in Oregon, which is very similar. It is dark and spooky in the forest of the Pacific Northwest.<br /><br />Kathy, can you imagine any other location being more perfect for this series than the Pacific Northwest? It was made for these books.<br /><br />John, LOL...! I have actually taken people snipe hunting -- usually people from the Prairies who have never been in the forests. I guess it is something that is universal, isn't it? :-)<br /><br />LGS, oh, yes...! Especially in my office. Oh, goodness, but every once in a while, out of the corner of my eye, I can see what they <em>really</em> are! *heh*<br /><br />Kate, *heh, heh* Thanks.<br /><br />All That I Am, yes, we all go through a stage where we fall for the "bad boys", don't we? But it sounds as if you made the right choice, marrying the "non-bad-boy". *heh* And yes, your photographs are breath-taking. The worlds needs to discover your blog!<br /><br />Russell, oh, goodness yes, the girls in highschool and university loved the bad-boys. But they are like "forbidden fruit" and it is best to keep them at a distance. But all the really interesting boys are the "bad-boys". I have a feeling... :-)<br /><br />Jennifer, Edward is definitely not one of the "nerdy" guys, that's for sure. He has that bad-boy air about him, but usually the bad-boys were very chivalrous, don't you think?<br /><br />Charles, *LOL*Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382221688268676914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-50344829520436815742009-11-22T08:12:16.284-08:002009-11-22T08:12:16.284-08:00that's why I like the woods.

But, of course, I will talk about such things at great length!!)<br /><br />What I do know is that a woman I work with has a 13-year old daughter who is quite taken with all this Twilight business. The woman said she and another woman were taking their daughters to a midnight showing of the new movie which I found, well, interesting.<br /><br />But I recall the long lines of people who waited for Star Wars and Harry Potter movies, so, well, why not?!<br /><br />Bad boys? Heh! I know a little more about that but, to the best of my knowledge, such conduct was not very attractive to the girls in high school or college!!

I'm ashamed/proud to say?!?)I don't think he's a 'bad boy'?!??! <br />but I wouldn't put it past him to be ones of the ones who woes the girls with the book...<br />maybe he is a bad boy......?!?<br />oh well...I would've stayed on the bad boy path, had my mother not pointed out the nice boy who happened to be pursueing me as chased the darkside, who I found boring! <br />She told me to 'give him a chance'...I married him...26 years ago...<br />still love the woods!?!?<br />and thanks so much for looking at my 365 pix!

Yikes! ...I didn't know it was filmed up there! Yikes! I know what you mean about not wanting to be in those woods! I grew up in very rural southern Illinois and lived "out in the boondocks" most of my childhood. When we had cousins or naive friends over, we would take them "snipe" hunting at night. (Google it if you don't know about it). <br /><br />It was a rite of passage I guess, because I can still remember how scared I was when I was taken into the dark woods snipe hunting. I don't think anything could get me to enter those forests around Vancouver at night though after seeing Twilight!<br /><br />You just couldn't resist adding that comment about working with monsters, hehe! Shape shifters... you had me in stitches laughing!

As ...Jo, here is something I think will amuse you. As you know, I have a nineteen-year-old son, and he's a very sweet kid in a many ways, but he's also rather successful with the girls. He's also always been quite secure about traditional masculinity, and people's perceptions meaning little. He's played football, but he also was Lumiere in the Beauty and the Beast. <br /><br />All that to say, when he started reading the Twilight series, I thought nothing of it. He's always been a reader and even if I thought, "Huh, that's a lot fluffier than what he usually reads." that's all I thought. <br /><br />Until I was with him at the doctor's office, and he had one of the books with him. The tech taking his blood was a young man of about 22 and he commented, "I thought those books were mostly for girls?" <br /><br />My son answered, "Yeah, but chicks <i>really </i> dig it when you're able to talk about having read them. Dude, I've been swimming in digits." <br /><br />And the clerk, clearly very intrigued said, "<i>Really</i>, man, I'll have to give that a try." <br /><br />*Face-palm* Well, at least he isn't broody!<br /><br />The woods in British Columbia are so magical that I can easily believe they are filled with Sprites, and Faeries, Werewolves, and Nymphs. <br /><br />But the vampires are all at the bars, picking up the young and nubile ;-)Land of shimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671954452597068904noreply@blogger.com
