From ThatPanicGirlE

What if Twilight had been around while poochi_mama and ThatPanicGirlE were in the 6^thgrade?

I can imagine the notes that would get passed back and forth between us. Back then, 12 year old poochi_mama rocked the Wayne’s World hat like it was nothing. So I took it upon myself to transport Twilight back to the early 90s and see what would happen between us if we were fangirling all over Twilight, Edward, Jacob and Bella.

ThatPanicGirle: So, Rob, I mean Edward was gonna bite Kristen, I mean Bella right? So he leans in, and he’s all like, “So are you ready now,” and the closer I got to the screen the more I realized that Bella’s eyes are like HUGE, you know bigger than bears and I got scared and fell off the bed.

Poochi_mama (who’s wearing a Twilight hat): Your mom let you watch Twilight?

ThatPanicGirle: No. I snuck over to my aunt’s house and it came on HBO last night.

Poochi_mama: Oh, I was beginning to wonder. So what happened? Did you get hurt?

ThatPanicGirle: Nah. So finally he’s like kissing her neck and my grandma walks in and she’s all like, “What on earth are you watching?”

Poochi_mama: Uh oh.

ThatPanicGirle: It wasn’t too bad. I told her it was Edward and Bella, the vampire and vampire wannabe and she just stood in the doorway and watched for a while and everything was cool. She mumbled something about the fact that he sparkled and walked out of the room.

Poochi_mama: Don’t feel bad, my mom got upset when she realized that the boy I had plastered all over my walls was in fact a Vampire. She just thought he was a really pale guy with sparkles on the poster.

ThatPanicGirle: I wonder if I could find a sparkly dead guy to date when I get older.

Poochi_mama: That would make them gay, and it would be really hard to find a guy that’s gay that would date a girl. I’m just saying.

ThatPanicGirle (points across the room): So does that mean he’s a sparkly dead guy then?

Poochi_mama (glances next to us to a guy with glitter all over him): No, he’s just been playing too much in the arts and crafts. You know sparkles are like the plague. They never fully go away.

ThatPanicGirle: So what about a wolf guy. I mean those exist, right.

Poochi_mama (glances the other direction and the hairy guy): Ask the guy next to me, I think he has enough arm hair to make him a wolf.

ThatPanicGirle: I'm considering growing my hair out like Kristen Stewart. I love how long it is.

Poochi_mama: That's a wig.

ThatPanicGirle: Is not.

Poochi_mama: Is too. She looks like a boy and her hair is short.

(ThatPanicGirle takes offense to her remark of Kstew and refuses to respond until after lunch. While on the playground, she picks on Poochi_mama saying that she's just jealous because she wants to date Rob and she can't because he's with Kstew (and like 10 years older). Hair and fists fly everywhere as Poochi defends Rob's honor. Both ThatPanicGirle and Poochi are sitting outside the Principal's office...)

ThatPanicGirle (holding an ice pack on her knee): Do you think that we’ll like Twilight when we’re 30?

Poochi_mama (nursing a cut on her hand): I’m sure that it’ll get old by then.

Fast Forward 30 Years Later

ThatPanicGirlE: Did you see Rob last night on Dancing with the stars?

Poochi_mama: I did. I didn’t vote for him though. I thought Sean Connery did a better job. And I have to say, Kstew has aged well. Good to know she doesn't have to wear a wig anymore.

ThatPanicGirle: That wasn't a wig...
