Meat of the Discussion: The theme of courtly love in the Twilight Series
- Description of courtly love on Wikipedia (Wik it!)
Courtly love was a medieval European conception of nobly and chivalrously expressing love and admiration.[1] Generally, courtly love was secret and between members of the nobility.[2] It was also generally not practiced between husband and wife.

Thanks for the love, Amanda!
The best part about finger painting with Jasper is that even if your art is no good, he makes you feel all hearts and flowers about it! What a good guy!
We just live to stun dads into shocked disbelief so we can mark that off of our To Do lists for today.
Thanks for listening – keep listening and we’ll keep casting!

Just catching up on episodes on my iPod with plugs in my ears at work. You gals crack me up! I’m sure my office partner thinks I’m crazy everytime I keep laughing out loud out of nowhere! Anyhow, I thought it was totally awesome that you were bringing up the various chores of the Cullens! I had thought of this myself in my Twilight musings…and I also thought that Emmett would be the one to sort the recycling! Too funny!

The Cullens are a very eco-friendly family, Lara. They even make sure to prevent over hunting in the area. Emmett recycles because he is forced to though…not out of any real feelings toward the environment. Poor Emmett. He almost never gets his allowance anymore.
