"I heard the sound of an angel calling my name, calling me to the only heaven I wanted."

Just like in LDS heaven where women can only go to heaven if their husband calls them by their secret name up there. Um yep.

Oh, yeah, that's right. Taking the unhealthy/obsessive aspect out of it and just speaking in religious terms, to me, this much of a devotion to a man borders on idolatrous, but that would be very in keeping with the Mormon teachings on marriage for women, wouldn't it?

Eh. I won't rule it out in the future, but honestly, I can't even get enough time to write these days, or read stuff I WANT to read, let alone THIS. Right now, I'm reading the entire trial transcripts for Perry v. Schwarzenegger, and after that, if I can squeeze it in without writing time suffering too much, I wanna read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Carly loves them, and it sounds like it could be the next Harry Potter.

You know, reading books I LIKE. What a concept! ;)

But if we win the lotto and I can quit my job, then maybe I'll do the rest of the Twilight books... ;)

***There's a metaphor in here somewhere about Stephanie Meyer's concept of climax, but I'd rather not.***

I just had to comment that this made me LOL out loud.

It's fitting, given how she describes sexuality, no?
