In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m a Jacob
20 August 2009
So while getting settled at the table for dinner a couple nights ago, I made some playful comment about Ben being in a bad mood. He wasn’t—he rarely is—I was just teasing him. When he denied it, I said, “It’s okay. I don’t mind you being in a bad mood.” And he said, “I know. That’s why you’re a Jacob.”
(This story has been contested by Ben. He claims I said something pessimistic [Me???] and then he said I was a Jacob. I don’t remember this at all, and it’s my blog, so my version will be posted in detail while his is a side note.)
The point is, regardless of what led up to the “You’re a Jacob” comment, it happened. A year or so ago when Ben quoted Pride and Prejudice to me, I wasn’t sure if I could love him more, but turns out I could. I’m so impressed with him, and feel so touched that he pays attention even when I’m talking about Twilight stuff. And that he volunteered to go see New Moon with me even though the trailer features a shirtless Jacob.
As soon as I finish Emma, I’m re-reading Eclipse. Ben is heading off on a backpacking trip soon, and that’s the perfect time to get totally absorbed in life in Forks. This time maybe I’ll actually slow down and really read it. When I read it in March, I was so eager to find out what happened that I totally blew through it.
Hope everyone has a good day. Even you Edward people.

Yes, you’re right! Especially if she reads book four…

It’s a good thing you’re bringing me Twilight, because I totally didn’t get the Jacob reference until you made it clear he’s a (shirtless, lol) character. =) Oh, and FYI, my niece is reading these books—spent her own money on them, even, so I decided that means she can handle yours. I’m right, right?
