A Hero in our eyes

Stephenie Meyer is the author of the Twilight series and has become a hero for many people of all ages, including me. Twilight has inspired so many people to have creative imagination, and just a simple dream you have can turn into something big.

(This following summery of Twilight is from Wikipedia.com, I did not write this)
Twilight is a young vampire novel written by author Stephenie Meyer. It is the first book of the Twilight Series, and introduces seventeen-year-old Isabella "Bella" Swan who moves from Phoenix Arizona to Forks, Washington and finds her life in danger when she falls in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen.

Stephenie Meyer came up with the idea of Twilight when she had a dream of a falling in love with a vampire. She loved the dream and didn't want to forget it (because she has 2 kids), so she wrote it down. She decided to expand from her dream and write a book for herself. The book Twilight became a HUGE hit and even beat Harry Potter (Stephenie is very often compared to JK Rowling)

Before I read Twilight, and along with many others, I had difficulty getting interested in a book. I found Twilight and started to read it and I was blown away! Twilight is almost 500 pages and I read it in 3 days. The way Twilight was written helped improve my writing style and my way of thinking. I used to have such a hard time making up my own stories and my reports and other writings were incredibly boring. But the amazing this was after I read Twilight, ideas sprang into my head and my reports actually became interesting.


A fan of Twilight posted on the Twilight Lexcion saying how Stephenie Meyer has inspired her"
"She raised my standards when it comes to guys. I never really was one to settle for the right guy. I stray far away from dating, because I knew I was attracted to the bad guys. (the james... whoever said that, was genius. I'm borrowing our idea). And since I kept falling for the James type and getting hurt, I blocked off all the possible influences. I grew up knowing I wanted an Edward, yet I knew that fewer and fewer of his type still exist. So instead of just going with this generation of trying to find the most tolerable James type, I know that I will settle for nothing less than Edward."

But not everyone is a fan of Twilight. A lot of people don't like the idea that Stephenie Meyer had of the Cullen Family being the good guys. The "Twilight Vampires" are a lot different than the classic vampires that burn in the sun, destroyed by a stake and sleeps in coffins. From many reviews I have seen, the fans of the Anne Rice books, such as Interview with a Vampire, tend to not like Twilight. But not everyone is like that, just a majority. I love Interview with a Vampire, and I love Twilight too, so give Twilight a chance, it's amazing!

About my Chin

Ok, this might be kinda weird if you have or have not noticed this already. If you have seen me scratching my chin at points, thats because there is a sensitive scar there. I am allergic to a lot of things and because it's sensitive I tend to get skin allergic reactions around there. How I got my scar you might wonder? haha this is a funny story.

I was at a friends house for her pool party. We were swimming and having a great time. The only problem was that there was A TON of Chlorine in the pool! So when I got out of the pool, my eyes were extremely red and they hurt, so I closed my eyes for a while. When I opened them, it looked really blurry and they still hurt.
My friends were setting up the game twister. They were taking a really long time so I decided to stretch out before we played. I started doing a back bend (going into a bridge position standing up). I got pretty low, but I didn't think I was going to complete it. So I shot myself forward and BAM! Hit the stucko wall with all my power. (stucko walls are really bumpy rocky-ish walls). I fall onto the floor and touch my chin where it hurt. There was all over my hand.
"OMG! WHOA!" My friend Reece shouted
"Dude, your chin is split open!" mi amiga Erica stated.
"Sweet" I said and started bursting out in laughter
My friends Matt and Olivia had to clean my chin so it wouldn't get infected and they put a BIIIIGGGG band aid on it (they were going to butterfly bandage my chin together, but they didn't have any :P ). I will still laughing though, even when I looked in the mirror and saw how messed up my chin was.

Bad news was that my parents were in Carslbad camping so they couldn't take me to the hospital, so I called my aunt and told her what happened, and picked me up from the party to the hospital. I was still laughing. Haha

I had to get stiches to close up my chin. The doctor asked if I had any unusal behavior when I hit the way and I said "I started to burst out in laughter!". I nervous about getting the first stiches of my life, and they had to be on my face! I was also cold because of the pool, so they gave me some plankets. My Uncle saw that I was nervous and said "Don't Worry Taylor! The only time you will need to worry is when they put those blankets over your head!" Ha..ha..haa..very funny.

So in the end, I got 9 stiches. I got them off in 5 days and the amazing thing was that when I hit the wall and split my chin, it did not hurt at ALL! It stung a little, but barely! It felt like I got a tiny boo-boo. Haha. It was an awesome exsperience. And now you all know about my wonderfull dazzling chin :)
