I haven’t read one of the Twilight Books but I *LOVE* Grey’s Anatomy. Oh wait, maybe I am dead inside.

Things I’ve Resisted

Gossip Girl (not intentionally, I saw one episode, I just don’t get time to watch TV and we don’t have TiVo in NZ yet)
Greys Anatomy (I hate it. The premises are good and there was one episode I liked, but I HATE the characters.)
Twilight (for ages, until I FINALLY read it and bought the whole series. Because Edward is perfect, mainly. *sigh*)

I tried to read Twilight, really I did! My teen aged daughter was reading them and really wanted me to. I got halfway through the first book and just couldn’t read anymore. I guess that makes me dead inside. But, I’ve read all the Harry Potter’s numerous times if that makes up for it a little!

OMG YES. I can’t STAND it when people are all “I don’t eat at any restaurant that’s a CHAIN” or “I don’t read POPULAR FICTION” or “This is COOKIE CUTTER fashion.” Sigh. I feel like saying, “Yes, yes, the only things that are LIKABLE are the things NOBODY LIKES EXCEPT YOU.”

I loved the twilight series and I can not tell you how many times I have read the Harry Potter books or listened to them on audiobook, but I capital L LOVE Grey’s Anatomy. Parts of seasons have been sucky, but when they do a good episode (like the bomb in the body cavity, or the season 5 finale) they do an AMAZING episode. I’m sure we all have main stream things that we just never experienced. I have never seen LOST, 24, Jurassic Park, etc.

I would say that the only show that any person with a TV set has definitely seen is an episode of Law and Order because with the number of different types and all the reruns on various stations, it is unavoidable. You will eventually be bored on a sunday morning at 5 am when the best thing on is a rerun of L&O.

Jumping up and down and waving my arms in the air, because I do NOT undertsnad the Twilight hype – apart from how good Rob Pattinson looks in character as Edward. But I read the books before the movie came out and I think they’re awful, THERE I SAID IT.

But I love me some boybands – New Kids On The Block and the Backstreet Boys…so maybe we’re even.

My kids go to a combined middle & high school. My 16 year old daughter hasn’t read any Twilight books, says there are too many middle school girls in “Team Edward” shirts and she refuses to come anywhere near that bandwagon. My 14 year old son however, read all the books–probably so he can hold a conversation with all those middle school girls in Twilight t-shirts.

You nailed the attitude. I have certain family members who love to resist things just so they can say they resist those things. The part that is implied is that they are WAY too intelligent to bother with those things. I am with you that it makes me want to try not to ever do that, even though I know I have done it in the past. Thanks for getting me thinking!!

I am the same way with most reality television. Never watched American Idol, so you think you can dance, survivor.

But I love grey’s, HP, twilight and titanic. I watched the first three seasons of grey’s when I had my second baby. During night-time feedings I would watch the DVDs that I got from netflix. I’m hooked now.
