a conversation...

ME: *sigh* "Buying this Edward Cullen action figure, may have been the most embarrassing thing I have ever done. No wait...yes. Yes, it was."

TED: "Then there is hope for you."

ME: "Whaaat?"

TED: "You are like, Darth Lauren. You have been seduced by the Sith Lord Edward. I was convinced that you were too far gone, but this proves there is good in you still. This pleases me"

ME: "..."

First Woot!!!!!!!!!

Maribeth said...

that's awesome. I love it. Especially since my four year old is totally into star wars right now...and he knows that I'm totally into twilight. That's hilarious!

Ann Marie said...

Lauren.. You were buying it for yourself? Why??
Hello.. your birthday is right around the corner..

And for the record.. Everytime I go into hot topic to buy something twilight, I'm embarrassed for a few seconds, but then it's gone.
Who cares what other people think!!

Exited to see the Edward doll!!

Lauren said...

Ann - I am never embarrassed to buy the other merchandise. There is just something about a married woman buying a Wee Edward, and nothing else. I actually was so embarrassed to only buy that, that I picked up a package of Hot Topic mints for good measure.

Leah said...

WooHoo I am 5th!!

Leah said...

Lauren, is he an action figure or a doll? =)

have a good day.

Lauren said...

Leah...well, seeing as how much ACTION Edward gets in Breaking Dawn, I would have to coin him a bonafide "Action Figure".

Lauren said...

Oh crap! You haven't read it yet.

omar said...

That conversation makes perfect sense to me.

Nancy Face said...

Ted is such a nerd.

I LIKE nerds...and Star Wars...and EDWARD!

Can I have an Edward Cullen action figure for my birthday? Please? Please? ;)

Camille said...

Ha! I don't know what any of that means, but it's funny to me anyway!

Jami said...

I am with Camille, I don't get any of it.
But you shouldn't care what people think...if having a edward cullen action figure floats your boat that....YOU GO GIRL!

Lauren said...

You guys don't know Star Wars jargon? For reals?

Yvonne said...

I didn't even know you could buy Edward action figures ; )

And what is the Laurenism--"Ted is like a buff Dwight"???????????????????????????????

NOBODY said...

AHAHAHAHAAAAA! That's awesome. I think he may be my husband's long lost twin.

Mikelene said...

Funny funny!
Wasn't Ted suppposed to buy the action figure for you? For your birthday? Could you just not wait the few more days?

Holly Janeen said...

wow.

ps... coming up... i am featuring you on my blog this week. tune in, yo.

Holly Janeen said...

i didnt even know your birthday was this month! well that is a happy coincidence. do you want me to wait until your birthday to post it? i was going to do it tomorrow... perhaps? its just because i love you, thats all.

Chad and Jessica said...

LOVE IT!!! This is so funny...I love all the pop culture sci-fi references....Ted sounds like a pretty witty guy....making another reason why you guys are so perfect for each other!

tharker said...

I think married to Yoda you are.

Love this conversation, I do.

Heffalump said...

What if a bunch of people already got you an Edward Action Figure for your birthday?
I guess you could keep them all, make new clothes and have an Edward for every occasion.
Baseball Edward, Prom Edward, half naked chest of cold marble Edward, V neck sweater Edward, Wedding Edward, and maybe an Edward with Authentic Battle Damage!
Your Tedward is pretty cool though, I think you should keep him!

Shayla said...

Oh my gosh, seriously, busting up laughing... LOVE Heffalump's idea! DO IT!!
Thanks for the laugh, as always!

Shayla said...

Thanks for the laugh, as always!

Lauren said...

Heffalump - That is the idea. I hope to get multiple Wee Edwards so I can have backups!

Sarah Blue said...

I love that Ted associates Edward with a Sith Lord. I think he may have something there. They both are powerful guys and can totally take your will and make you do whatever they want. Yeah. Ted is Definately on target with that comparison. ;)

Bekah said...

i haven't been too embarrassed with my twi-crap i've bought.. but the eddie doll was a hard experience for me... i really really really wanted to run away from hot topic when i first went in. but i grabbed the doll (it was the last one they had) and then went to look at their records:) and i felt better... then i quickly paid and RAN outta there..
the worst part is that i think the manager recognizes me :( AY!

Sarah Blue said...

I just read all the other comments. I love Heffalump's idea. You should totally do it. And then take pictures. And then post them on your blog. That would be Fabulous! :)

Ali said...

I admire you for buying the Edward doll! That's awesome!

Heather said...

Um, yeah. I don't know what to say about that. So I'll copy you "..."

Ana Cristina said...

Come to the dark side, we have cookies. ;-)

You are officially my hero for getting the Edward Action Figure. Although buying the mints lost you two Darth points.

RatalieNose said...

Yar Gar Gar that makes me happy!
Darth Lauren! Will you hate me if I start calling you that?

Tay said...

bah hahaha! that's awesome.

Knot said...

Ted is now welcome in my zombie shelter.

nate and amy crandell said...

haha you guys are the funniest couple ever! thats awesome you got the action figure!!

Shane and Kelci said...

LOL!!! I can't remember the last time i typed or said that but it was well deserved. I just LAUGHED OUT LOUD. I miss you and your foolishness.....

No Cool Story said...

I don't know what Ted is trying to do...it confuses me!


PS: I :D @ heffalump

No Cool Story said...

Am I to understand that you did not buy action figure Bella?

ashley said...

Yes!!! I love that you bought Action Figure Edward, sorry for the embarrassment, I definitely would have gone with you, I want one of those myself...but am also too embarrassed to get one. But more so if anyone comes over and sees it!

Tierra Lynne said...

I'm cracking up at everyones comments...this is too cute.

My brother is like this with me...him and Darth are best buds, So i just laugh back and say well...Edward could take Darth!!!
I'm such the nerd. LOL

Poor Ted...

Heather Perry said...

I am so glad you bought the doll.

I love the post above. I look forward to seeing more of him in posts.

Karalee said...

I love it! You two have an awesome relationship!

Emily said...

Ditto to everything Ted said.

Hannahkin said...

wOOt. i am completely and utterly ashamed of my awfulness for missing out on your blog for so long, and you know it! i read this about 8 days ago, but i had to go to school and my mom literally dragged me off the computer. that, of course, equals no comment. then i was away for 5 days.. hence the lack of niceness or BEEEG birthday wishes, which you totally deserved! anyway, i am back in the blogosphere simply to laugh and stuff. (can you believe it, my computer dictionary recognises blogosphere as a WORD!! double wOOt.)

now, about that post of yours.... *sniggers* oh, how that Ted can pull some funny ones. i notice that the conversations usually end in "..." :)
