That's A LOT of DVDs!

What crazy, rabid fans to stand in line at midnight for a silly DVD of Twilight! Um.....yeah, I was a part of the 3 million crazy, rabid fans. I probably should of realized I was too old to be standing in line when I saw ELEVEN of my students in said line. Any-whooo, I thought it was interesting (and somewhat validating) to know that I'm not the only one cuckoo for this book series and movie!
