Last night Erin, her friend Nicole, and I went to the midnight showing of the movie 'Twilight'. I have enjoyed all of the books in the series. Most all of the time I enjoy the books I read more than the movie, just because the book usually contains more information and explaination of events, feelings, etc, than can be portrayed in a movie. Also, when I read, I picture people and places a certain way. Then when I go to the movie, when they are different, I am sometimes disapointed. This was the case with the actor that portrayed 'Edward' in the movie. He just didn't seem right to me for the part. Everyone else fell into place and I could adapt to how they were portrayed, but not Edward.
I think they did a pretty good job of incorporating the main events in the book into the movie. On a scale of 1 to 10, (ten being as much as I enjoyed the book), I give it a 7.
While we were out I learned something about my daughter Erin. I saw her in a new light last night. She has always been a sweet and compassionate girl. She sees herself as a quiet, behind the scenes, friendly person. What I discovered though, is that she knows half the world! She sees her brother Eamon as the social person in the family, and he is definitly social! And so is Erin, she just expresses it in a different way!!! I see this as another of her hidden talents! She has so much untapped potential!! I love her and wish she could see herself as others see her!
