Five Things Everyone Should Know About You?

1. I have three children, all girls, the oldest of the named Bella. JUST Bella, not Isabella.
2. I am married, my husband's name is Henry
3. I have never been so entranced by any book in my life as I was this series.
4. Music is my second inspiration.
5. My children are my first.

When Did You First Read Twilight (year) and how many times have you read a Twilight Book (total)?

I just read the series, over the past month. I have read them all only once, although, I plan on the bindings on all of them to be worn completely out within a few years.

Team Edward or Team Jacob? Why?

Team Edward. Because he is who Bella is meant to be with. Period. I have not always felt that way - I was unsure about their relationship, especially in New Moon and Eclipse. However, when Breaking Dawn rounded out the connection between all of them, I could see it no other way.

Which Character Are You Most Like?

I am very much like Bella in human form. I have little confidence in myself, and believe that all the good things in my life aren't deserved. A friend made a comment that Bella's character is someone that any girl can relate too. That may be true, but it doesn't change the way I feel. I also connect with Bella on a maternal level. I would die for my children and have felt that way from the moment I found I was pregnant. I would trade my life for theirs in a heartbeat.

Favorite Books

Why, The Twilight Series, of course. Before these books, I very much enjoyed the Anne Rice series, Patricia Cornwell novels, Hunter S. Thompson, Shakespeare (although I am rusty...I need to get back into reading him more), Jack Connelly, and a few others. I lost the art of reading for awhile, and this series awakened my lust for books.

What is Your Favorite Music

I like literally everything except for country. I really enjoy The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, The Doors, Phish, Grateful Dead, Michael Jackson, Rolling Stones, Portishead, Iron & Wine, Justin Timberlake, Sublime, ANYTHING 80's, and lots more. I won't bore you with the list.

Favorite Movies, TV Shows, Games:

Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, The Labrynth, Beetlejuice, Snatch, Death to Smoochy, Step-Brothers, Stay Wars, Fear and Loathing in Las Vagas, lots more. As far as TV shows go, I am into Sons of Anarchy right now, but trying to stick more to reading.

Favorite Quotes:

"Cause once in a while you get shown in the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right." - Grateful Dead

Favorite Activities

I work, go to school (pursuing a teaching career), and take care of my children. That is about all I have time for. Seriously!
