To add to my list of "I never should have..."
crepuscular \kri-PUS-kyuh-lur\, adjective:
Of, pertaining to, or resembling twilight; dim
eminence grise \ay-mee-nahn(t)s-GREEZ\, noun:
a person who wields power or exerts influence behind the scenes
affectation \af-ek-TAY-shuhn\, noun:
an artificial way of talking or behaving put on to impress others; pretense
florid \FLOR-id\, adjective:
Flushed with red; of a lively reddish color.
I guess...no wait. I don't guess. I KNOW I gave in to the pressure and let Corrine and Hunter watch Twilight-a. A friend let me borrow it and honestly, I had no desire to watch it a 4th time. See cuz the first time was with the book club, then Crystal, then with Andrea. And truly, I had had my fill. But Michael was dying to watch it, so I begrudgingly sat down to watch it with him, and with it being a weekend, we let Corrine stay up to watch it with us. I skipped over all the questionable parts and felt very good about my editing skills, so when the movie was over we sent her off to bed to dream of puppies and rainbows and unicorns. Being stalked by vampires.
Only problem is, that the next night, I went out with a friend and Señor let both kids watch it. Unsupervised and unedited. So if they do end up with vampire complexes, etc., don't come crying to me.
Unfortunately, all Corrine can talk about, draw about, think about, make signs for her door about, is vampires. As documented below.
You must trust me when I say that in this case, I am not the eminence grise. She did this all on her own. Her favorite colors now are blue and silver. What? You thought I was going to say red and black didn't you? Ha! Gotcha. She only cares for colors of a florid nature when her writings pertain to that of the crepuscular. Deep down, we are all hoping that this is simply an affectation. Something she'll grow out of. Hopefully before the next 3 movies are made. Because even though you don't believe me, I won't make it through another viewing of
