Team Jacob is no more ... for me anyway

So my friend, Maggie, and any of you readers who are apart of "Team Edward" will be happy to hear that I have officially switched over to Team Edward from Team Jacob.

But what's funny is I arrived at this conclusion after reading a totally unrelated book --- Christy. Hahaha! ... I don't know if you know the Christy story - Catherine Marshall's book about her mother - a young woman who went to the back woods of Tennessee to teach impoverished children in the early 1900s. Well, the book (and her real-life story) presents Christy with a choice between two men - a young preacher (David) and an older doctor (Neil). I see lots of similarities between Jacob and David and lots of similarities between Edward and Neil. I recently finished reading Christy, and I found that my original choice (David) is lacking - a lot. I'm so bummed 'cause he is not as cool in the book as he is in the TV series. And the same goes for Jacob - he's not as great in the books as he is in the movies. I will say I still like David and Jacob. But ... I think I've officially switched to "Team Neil" and Team Edward.

The more mature, more together, more selfless guy needs to be with the girl. And I think that's who I want for ME as well. And they win in the end anyway.

Hahaha! All of that to say ... I am for Team Edward, and my friend, Maggie, is thrilled. Just don't tell my friend, Hannah. ;)

Team Jacob :D

So I'm finally done reading the Twilight Saga. Good read. Really weird but very intriguing. And of course, I enjoyed the classic love triangle. Oh, the suspense! I think, ultimately, I knew Bella was gonna pick Edward - who didn't know that, really? But when Bella kissed Jacob back in Eclipse?? Whew! What the heck? I thought there was a small glimmer of hope for Jake. Yes, I'm Team Jacob. Man ... *Big Sigh* I like Edward - good guy, indeed. But I would've picked Jacob. ... I'll admit it was hard to choose. They are both honorable and beautiful guys. They both love Bella more than their own lives. But ... Jacob is alive. Jacob is "hotter than Edward." Haha! Jacob is more outgoing and upbeat than Edward. I would've picked Jacob. Sheesh, girl.

But I will say that my conclusion is that Bella made the right choice. Bella was definitely in love with both guys ... but ultimately, she was MORE in love with Edward ... therefore, she needs to be with Edward. And she is ... "forever and forever and forever."

But at least Jake is happy ...

Now, Stephanie Meyer just needs to write another book ALL about Jacob and Renesmee! :D That would be the best book of all. :D
