As a result of the Intervention I updated my status on FB declaring that I was saved, then went away to open that beloved copy of Eclipse and immerse myself in Forks. It was then I walked past where The Historian was sitting, calling me, and I did the unspeakable....I picked it up and sat down and kept reading it! OME what have I done! I tell you, I was drawn to it like the characters in the story are drawn to that evil yet intriguing man Vlad Tepes. There wasn't anything I could do! I was locked in to it's tractor beam.....I was sooo close to finishing it and I really wanted to know what would happen, so I'm sorry Carls I lied. I sat on the couch reading through something like 1100 flipping pages intently until it happened! I finished....woah!! First I felt triumphant for mananging to make it through a book laden with sooo much history...but then I realised, "What I am now left to do?" and without saying, we all know what that is! With that in mind I went to bed ready to dive into that 3rd book in the morning.......
But I awoke this morning to a little note from bud Carls alerting me to something extra-ordinary. It reminded me of something that happened to me about 2 weekends ago.
The note from Carley pointed me to http://www.robsessedpattinson.com/2010/06/robert-pattinsons-long-lost-relative.html a fan site for all things Rob of course duhhh....anyway Carley had stumbled on a post linking our beloved Rob to the Evil Prince himself Vlad Tepes the Impaler the original Dracula!!!! I read the post and well it seems a little far fetched but possible...my mum's family dates back to William the Conquerer so who knows!! According to genealogist Anastasia Tyler the Prince brothers William and Harry are distant cousins to Rob and Vlad is the princes way distant Uncle! Read the whole post and decide for yourself at the link above!
(Note from Carls: Hello Lover...)
I guess my thoughts are sort of mixed about the truth to this but if you research things far enough people are all connected in some way.....right??? What does this have to do with me well I was thinking maybe I'm experiencing some wierd sub concious twi addiction or someone or something is trying desperately to drag me back into Forks? The book that I have just finished as I've explained was all about the history of Vlad Tepes and a group of historians on a search to find his tomb.....and I couldn't stop reading it! I was living in this post war era wondering where the quest would take us next Instanbul, Bulgaria, Romania....it was a great read. But seeing this post makes me think I was supposed to finish that book before getting back to Twilight and maybe there was something more to me reading it in the first place...!
CAUTION: What I am about to show you may lead you to believe that there are strange things in the atmosphere trying to force me and Twilight back together!
It was a sunny winters Sunday morning too nice to stay inside...I convinced DH that a drive was called for and we set out toward the historic town of Windsor...well we turned this way and that and found ourselves in the sleepy little town of Kurrajong! It was a nice drive and in turning down the main street into the Kurrajong village I openly admired a little church on the corner and little old cemetery that was lying at the back of it. We pulled into the town and not much was going so we decided to head back to Windsor for lunch...as we went back past the church I said to DH "it would be cool to go have a poke around the old cememtery" with that he turned around we got and stretched our legs and took in the beautiful view that was down one side over looking the valley. We enjoyed the view for a little while then we headed back up to read some of the head stones....
The first headstone I laid my eyes was in rememberance of Edward Cullen! WHAT THE FUCK!!! EDWARD CULLEN?????????
I couldn't believe it....why was this happening....I rubbed my eyes like you see in animated films then my eyes popped out of their sockets! Once I got over that I had found an 109 year old headstone with Edward Cullens name on it....I read the rest.......
Are you still sitting down...??
(Note from Carls: Poor Edward Cullen. He must be rolling in his grave! No chance to rest in peace with me uttering his name out loud a hundred times a day!!!!)
WTF! Check those words out! Not only does it make reference to the soul that Edward Cullen doesn't think he has but the guy died the year that our Edward was born! I sent the picture of this headstone to Seth Stephanie Meyers brother via his web master page with the hope that she might get a glance of it and maybe even have a giggle but I haven't heard anything back! Will keep you posted!
I was drawn to the church and the cemetery the way the I was by The Historian........I really need to read Eclipse hey??? LOL (Note from Carls: Get to it Twi-lover!!!!)
