Has the whole world gone mad?

I got a text message from a friend three days ago. It read simply:

"Have you ever had a huge crush on a fictional character?"

I didn't answer. I couldn't bring myself to admit that my last major crush on a fictional character was with John Gage. From Emergency! (Rescue 51). That, and, I didn't want to embarrass or humiliate my friend. I was, after all, eleven. She is in her forties.

You know what I am going to say, don't you, dear reader? It was that bloody Twilight character! Edward!

I am obviously missing something here. And now, well, I don't know if I'm too scared to read it or too defiant. Or a little of both.
