Edward

Swiped this from Clever Girl's Blog and I can't help but SWOON!

I have to be honest and say that there are times when Robert Pattinson looks so hot and there are times when I think he needs a hair cut. At times I see shots of him which remind me of the "magnum" pose from Zoolander (sorry!).

Regardless, he IS cute!

Twlight Prom Song

Although the lyrics don't make sense, I loved this song which was playing while Edward & Bella were dancing at the prom. I thought it was absolutely perfect for the scene.

(I know, I know! I'm a really big Twilight Fan!!)






I was a quick wet boy
Diving too deep for coins
All of your straight blind eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
And when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
And called for you everywhere

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big bill looming

Now I’m a fat house cat
Cursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide fence cracks
Kissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big bill, stuck going down

Flightless Bird, American Mouth
- Iron & Wine

Twlight (Movie)

I finally saw Twilight over the weekend. We were worried we wouldn’t be able to get good seats because it was opening weekend and the tickets were selling fast so we decided to arrive at the theater early. We stood in line for about an hour, reading magazines and talking. I was so excited that I could barely stand still. Steve thought it was funny seeing how crazy I was over a chick flick.

Believe it or not, I actually re-read Twilight in preparation for the film. Crazy, obsessed ‘no?

I have only really read one review online about the movie … the one that Seth wrote on Stephenie Meyer’s website. I also heard on the radio that it made $70 million overnight. That’s as far as I knew about the movie so I really didn’t know what to expect. I knew though, going into the movie, that I would still love the book more than the movie.

I would love to write more about the film but I don’t want to ruin it for those that have yet to see it. All I’m going to say is this: I loved the movie and although I wasn’t so sure about Robert Pattinson in the beginning, I thought he did well in the movie. By the middle of the film, I was literally swooning over him. There were parts of the book that I wish they showed in the film but overall I thought it was pretty good.

Oh, and in case you haven’t heard, New Moon has gotten the green light which means we will still have something to look forward to! I can’t wait to see the movie for New Moon!

Go see the movie if you haven’t!

More amazing, swoon-worthy photos here!

Excited, Disappointed, Giddy and Sad

I can’t tell you how excited I am that Twilight is coming out on Friday! I am so giddy I feel as though I’m bouncing off walls. Every time they show the trailer on TV, I stop whatever it is I’m doing, run to the living room and jump up and down while clapping my hands like a silly school girl. Steve just laughs at me and my brothers think I’m a complete dork. But I don’t care! I love it!

I try not to set my hopes up too high. Chances are, the book will probably be better than the movie but I’d love to see it anyways. I am still a bit unsure of Robert Pattinson playing Edward but I’ll know for sure when I see the movie. I really… REALLY hope it doesn’t disappoint.

I have Twilight in my head day and night and while having lunch on Sunday at a Chinese restaurant downtown, I noticed a guy sitting at the table across from me. His features were similar to how I envisioned Edward in my head and of course I couldn’t help but look at him every now and then (I actually think he might have noticed… whoops!). Steve was sitting beside me and I think I might have actually whispered to him, “Honey, see that guy across us? He looks like Edward from my book…”

I checked Stephenie Meyer’s website last week and saw that she had posted the draft for Midnight Sun which is basically the Twilight Story but told from Edward’s point of view. I absolutely enjoyed reading it. It was nice to be able to know Edward a little bit better… to be able to know what he was thinking and feeling all those times when Bella could only read his facial expressions. It was also nice being able to get to know the Cullen Family a bit better and the extent of their relationship and the complexities of being vampires. I am very disappointed though to read that Stephenie has decided to put Midnight Sun on hold indefinitely due to a leak of the draft online. I am upset at the people who leaked it (whether intentionally or unintentionally) and that because of it, I might never be able to read Midnight Sun. I just can’t get over the fact that it has been put on hold indefinitely. I don’t even know if it will ever be published. I am just plain sad about it (depressed actually). I’ve contemplated on writing Stephenie to try to encourage her to continue writing but I couldn’t find her email address on the website. (And yes, I am THAT big of a fan that I would actually consider writing to the author… I am such a dweeb sometimes).

I really wish Midnight Sun would someday be published. I would give up shopping for the next 6 months if it meant I get to read the book one day. (If you knew me at all, you’d know giving up shopping for 6 months is a very big sacrifice on my part). What would you give up for Midnight Sun?

Twilight Movie New Trailer!

A new trailer for the upcoming Twilight movie has just been released. View it here.

I have to say it’s the best trailer yet and I am really anxious to see the movie. I almost died at the part where Bella and Edward kiss. I admit, I go bananas for the silliest of reasons.

Breaking Dawn

Just wanted to say that I LOVED reading the fourth book from the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer. I had pre-ordered the book a few days before its release and I was silly giddy going up to the counter to claim it. I was so thrilled to finally get my hands on the book that I immediately began reading before exiting the bookstore.

I am not going to ruin it for you by giving you spoilers. I'm simply stating that I truly enjoyed reading it and that I was very pleased with the story and how everything turned out.

I hope you guys enjoy reading it too.

Sneak Peek

Stephenie Meyer reveals a spoiler on Breaking Dawn here.

I’m ecstatic that Edward and Bella actually do get married. BUT I’m nervous about the wedding taking place early on in the book so that means LOTS will happen after.

Also, the last line on the article – “Breaking Dawn is expected to go down as the biggest book of the summer. Everybody wins. Even Team Jacob”

Even Team Jacob wins?? How??

Oh God please don’t separate Edward and Bella!

Edward & Bella

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will be playing the roles of Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan in the upcoming Twilight Movie.

What do you guys think? Do they look anything like you imagined Edward and Bella would look like?
