About Me
- If you don't know me, here's your fill of Arianne trivia: I'm from Detroit. I love baked goods, 80's new wave, sleeping, dancing, trees, growing green things, traveling, trivia games, pasta, sushi, Wes Anderson movies, dancing, sleeping, reading the classics, learning languages, old musicals, and NOT doing math. I hate following trends; I enjoy being original. I have three kids and one husband. Big Daddy (the husband), is awesome. He makes me laugh constantly and could be nominated for Father Of the Year every day. He has sexy legs and confidently wears pink and purple. Not together. Daphne is 9 1/2. She is artistic, curious, loves animal toys with very large eyes, and prefers an all sugar diet or nothing at all. Beck is 8. He is a sweet, gentle boy. He is super smart and very musical. He speaks Chinese, loves Michael Jackson, and can read like a 5th grader. Pippa, our baby, is 3 1/2. She is the happiest, friendliest, sweetest child ever. She loves snuggles and saying surprisingly grown up things. Most importantly, she doesn't have brown eyes! We also have two cats, Cleopatra and Margot, who regularly forget that they can't walk across the pond. And that about sums us up.
The Om
Om is the sound of the universe: Heaven, earth, hell and silence all in one word. It represents the omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence of God. Om is a syllable of meditation and grounding. It is also a tattoo on my lower back.

Just finish before the movie comes out in December!!! I get my copy of Breaking Dawn tomorrow! WAHOO
ps...you'll love it! even it you won't admit it!
Seriously, you and I are TWINS. I just borrowed the first 2 books from my neighbor Thursday night. I haven't started yet. My mo--in-law just gave me Nephertiti to start. I'd rather read it.
Im right there with you Arianne! I dont think its this amazing book, Its easy reading and entertaining, but I woudln't say its on my top 10or even 20 of favorite books. Its very different from anything I normally read, or choose to read. Thats my review! :)
oh my gosh..you're going to love it!
Pretty soon you're going to be wearing a T-shirt that says "My heart belongs to my husband, but my neck belongs to Edward." BAAARF!
It is not a literary masterpiece, but fun all the same...I had to read them too just to find out what all the hype was about.
YAY! It's about time!
I haven't heard of it at all.. but I'm curious know that I heard a little about the upcoming movie.
You'll NEED heaven's help! I got tricked into starting them at Nicki's when I didn't know they were THE Vampire books of fame and legend. But I liked them a lot. There's deep delving into emotions, which enriches any reading experience for me. And the Vampires are neither responsible nor willing to be vampires, it being a tragic disease, which I also preferred to bloodthirsty, selfish killers. They do all they can to live lives of goodness and compassion in spite of their unwanted genetic propensity. (besides being incredibly rich and handsome.)
It makes me think of what life would have been like for Adam and Eve if they had eaten the fruit of the tree of life AFTER the fruit of knowledge. They could never have died, no matter how damaged they became, or sorry they were for their past behavior, or wretchedly tired of living. They would have been stuck in flawed mortality, as these vampires (and the werewolves too?) are.
I can see where romantic young women would become totally mesmerized and addicted to these books FAST. Never have I read such seductively innocent literature! Nothing R rated is ever actually done by the protagonists, but the boiling, frothing emotions of love and lust beneath it all are definitely HOT STUFF! A lady who will remain single and determinedly chaste for the next 30+ years definitely doesn't need this kind of panting temptation.

i did the same with "the work and the glory"--i was so sick of everyone telling me i HAD TO READ IT IT WAS SO FLIPPIN' GOOD YADAYADYADADYADAYADA......
i sometimes cut my nose off to spite my face.
you will like it in spite of arianne. now they won't take away your church membership. good job.
I am sooooo sorry!!! :)
Heaven help you indeed! Have fun with it, it is a fast, easy and fun read, and if you can look at it that way, hopefully you will enjoy it!
Congrats! Now I am officially the ONLY person to have never read the series. Maybe some day.
Oh, you will LOVE it!
Jen just started, too, to see what all the excitement is about. We'd never heard of the books until everyone talked about how great they were. She said the first one was good, not great, and she's having a hard time getting through the second.
Holy crap!!! I think that I have lost it, I swear I have left comments for both of these posts, I swear with a thousand needles in my eye. Maybe you did not approve of them.. Hee hee.
ok again- Yes Heaven please help her...
Welcome to the club! At least now you can read all 4 of them together and not have to wait to see what happens.
I'm going to admit it, Arianne. I liked them. Don't tell anyone.
Shhhh.....I loved it, too. Don't tell anyone.
