LOL, it's not that scary! Honest. Right, December? :D We just tend to take things a little seriously and like to dig deep into the nuisances of the TW saga. Kinda like holding holding the prism to the light and seeing the pretty colors. Check it out. You know you want to... :twisted:

My MIL is reading the series for the first time, and she is a little annoyed at Bella for choosing to be a vampire. She doesn't think she'll have much of a life...sitting back and watching her family die from a distance...Now I understand why Bellas doing it, and it makes total sense to me...I was wondering what all of you thought...

Who has the better deal Vampires or Humans?
Would you have chosen to stay human or would you have gone vamp?

Hi everybody! Sorry for my long absence but life is pretty busy for me at the moment...

MRK your question is really a tough one. It's fascinating the idea of being immortal, of having all the time in your life to travel, read, listen to new kinds of music, learn new things each days but...would it be meaningful in the end? I mean, we usually do things for a purpose, that is definitely to grow, for the good or the bad. I'm taking Irish dancing classes, though I'm a total wreck at it, just because it's something I'd like to learn, something that warms my heart and makes me happy. Would it be the same if I knew I had all the time in the world to learn it? I feel like being a vampire, apart from the cool superhero stuff, doesn't hold anything really valuable. I think time - our limited human time - makes us appreciate what we have and long for what we don't have. So, I guess I'd stay human...

Obviouslly, if the question were: would you choose a mortal life or an endless life with Edward or Jasper?...well, that changes everything :mrgreen:

I was thinking that as well...does being immortal devalue life? Everything we think is precious is considered precious because we know in the end, it will be fleeting. Does that mean Vampires value things less?

*and I totally agree...I wouldn't think twice if it was so I could be with Edward forever*

That would result in an immediate "hell no" from me. I much prefer death.

Is Anna Sulpicia out of the picture?

Of course Sulpica is. Anna dispatched her a long time ago.
