Edward is not my type.

OK, brace yourself for ANOTHER post about Twilight nonsense.  I know it's ridiculous, but I can't help it--Twilight has been my escape from reality this summer.  I've seen Eclipse four times now (but I've resolved to stay away from it now until it hits the dollar theater), I've read the book Eclipse again, and Breaking Dawn again.  And, the thing I've discovered is that Edward is not my type.  The first time I read the books, I remember talking to friends about how I wanted Bella to choose Jacob, and everyone I talked to thought I was crazy.  Everyone said Bella belongs with Edward.  After reading the books again, I realized that I just really like Jacob better than Edward.  I dated a couple of Edward-types (minus the perfect face and chiseled physique), and let's face it--Edward is boring.  Ever-devoted, totally predictable, gushing romance...blech.  Too perfect.  Jacob is funny, unpredictable, spontaneous, and fun.  His temper is refreshingly human(ish), and his devotion is real, but not smothering, stalker-like, and controlling.  The guys I dated that were all gushy, romantic, predictable, and fawning were not for me.  I prefer a guy who makes me laugh every day, and who keeps life fresh and unpredictable.   So I realized that I married a Jacob-type.  Yes, Chuck is my Jacob.  So Bella, you can keep your Edward.  And Renesmee, I wouldn't even swap you for Jacob.   Because Chuck is exactly my type.  And, lucky for me, he's mine!  So even when I step out of fictional la-la land, I can still have my own personal happily ever after.  :)
