TWILIGHT...

In case you've been living under a rock lately, you know that Twilight came out in theaters yesterday. It had opening day earnings of $35 million, with $7 million of that being in midnight showings! It's on track to do around $75 million for this opening weekend!! Needless to say, Summit Entertainment released this statement today...

My friend Melissa and I went to a midnight showing and then went back 3 more times yesterday, so we've seen it a total of 4 times -- so far... :) And even though the movie was not as good as the book (really, when are movies based on novels as good as the books?) it was awesome!!! We loved it, even though we were missing several parts of the book that were left out. We were glad to see some new things added too it and we were also happy to see how wonderfully the characters were portrayed. The actors did a great job! And we even have a new crush now... But more on that in a minute. ;)

Here we are in the theater -- just before our 4th viewing of the it! It was so fun to be surrounded by fellow Twilight lovers for an entire day! :D

And here are my ticket stubs just to prove that I really did spend 8 out of 18 hours watching Twilight. :P Not counting the trailers and the extra time sitting in the theater waiting for the movie to start. We did have to get there early for decent seats. And we got a wide variety of them, let me tell you!! I think we've seen it from every angle possible!! :D

And here is my show of support for My Spunk!! Jillen wrote on my arm a couple of weeks ago and I thought it was funny, so I took my marker to the theater with me and made sure to ink myself up, just in case anyone wondered where my loyalties lie. I may be Team Edward, but I'm smitten with someone else...

Rob and Kristen did such a great job as Edward and Bella!! Their chemistry on the screen really was as amazing as everyone said!

One of my favorite scenes of them was a little scene of them walking across the parking lot on the first morning that he drives her to school. She is a little uncomfortable because she thinks everyone is staring at them, which they are. This is the basic dialog -

BELLA
Everyone’s staring.
EDWARD
Not that guy over -- yeah, he just looked.

Then he says something else and puts his arm around her while everyone watches in amazement. It's a light little scene that I loved!! Oh, and he has his sunglasses on through all of it, not like in this picture. So cute!! Another little scene that was great was when Bella was cleaning her truck and he tells her that he wants to take her to 'his place' to meet his family. He is just so happy and carefree, a total 180 from his mood at the beginning of the movie. It's great to see him happy...

And I gotta say, the kiss scene did not disappoint... It was great!! And I did not slide out of my seat even once! I think I had properly prepared myself before hand so I knew what to expect. But I did start to cry the first time we saw the piano scene... I love him at the piano...

Okay, I mentioned having a new crush. Now, it's not totally new. I have felt all along that if I didn't already have a crush on Edward then I would totally crush on Jasper. But it just feels weird to like him and his brother. :D After seeing this movie, I think I may not care anymore how weird it feels!! :P He had, literally, like 5 lines in the entire movie, but he stole the whole show!! He was so perfect as Jasper!!! And I'm not even gonna get into the hotness factor...

Melissa and I's favorite scene from the whole show (I'm pretty sure it's still this one anyway) was the baseball scene!!! It was AWESOME!!!!! And I just gotta say, Jasper with a bat -- genius!!! It upped his hot factor by about 200%, and he sure didn't need any improvement in that area!! :D I think that's why we have both decided we need to join Team Jasper!! What a cute boy!!! Yeah, and we won't even get into the southern accent, which is his normal accent. I think I may slide out of my seat now...

And I found this on YouTube... I have no idea how long it will stay there, so if it stops working then it might have been removed. You'll need to turn off my playlist, like always, but it's SO worth it!!! Obviously the quality is not great, but you can still see it. And you gotta make sure and see the part at 3:53 when Jasper says one of his 5 lines -- "Oh, I think we handle that!" Did I mention how awesome he is???

Don't get mad at me, I didn't tape it. I'm just remembering the scene that I saw 4 times in the theater so far, and enjoying the wonder of it. You really should see this movie... I know I will be again some time soon. :D

Ahh, now back to real life. How boring... But I do have New Moon to look forward to!!! Oh, the scene when he leaves her is gonna kill me!! But then he will be back, and that will make me cry too, I'm sure. And we should get a few more kissing scenes, so that's always good. This movie only had 2 kisses in it, but I swear I think the screen started smoldering... They were THAT good!!!

Reasons I Love Twilight - #1...

Reason # 1 – The Meadow!!!

How could this not be the number one reason?!?! After all, it’s what started off the whole Twilight movement. On June 2, 2003, Stephenie Meyer had a dream about 2 people in a meadow – one was a normal, average human girl and the other was a vampire. He was beautiful and very conflicted in his feelings for the girl. He was obviously in love with her, but he also wanted to kill her. To make things more difficult, the girl was also in love with him. Stephenie awoke that morning and didn’t want to forget the dream that was so clear it almost seemed real. She wrote the dream down, just so that she would remember, but then she kept writing. She wrote from there until the end of the story, then went back and filled in the beginning. She was only writing for herself but eventually the story was published and the rest is history. The dream she had that night is basically chapter 13 in the book, and the scene is included in the movie. It’s such a beautiful interaction between Edward and Bella – each of them seeming to realize that their future, or lack there of in Bella’s case, hangs in the balance of their time in the meadow. We see the meadow in following books and the magic we feel from it during this first time there remains and we know what a special place it is for them. This is where the Lion and Lamb quote is said; the place where the “I’m your brand of heroin” statement is made; the moment that Edward realizes Bella is not afraid of being with him, but rather of being without him; the first time Edward ‘sparkles’ for Bella, showing her what he truly is; the last few seconds just before their first kiss. The emotions experienced by Edward and Bella are all over the page during their time in the meadow, but they emerge from this experience with a new knowledge and dedication to one another. The devotion they feel when leaving the meadow is true and can’t be broken…it’s forever.

Edward and Bella in the meadow --

I'm not sure that this is the same meadow scene, but it's a really cute picture of some of the playfulness between the two characters --

Edward must always be so careful with Bella - even the slightest touch from him could kill her if he is not careful. Even something as simple as putting his arm around her could be deadly --

Edward showing Bella how his skin 'sparkles' when in the sunlight. In the book Edward takes his shirt off, but not so in the movie. I've heard that this is about all we get, and even this made My Spunk nervous. He started working out before the movie in the hopes of having the perfect body that Edward has, but after losing 30 pounds and starting to look like an alien (his words), the director told him to stop, so back to an all cheeseburger diet it was. But this is good enough for me --

Edward and Bella -- she is in awe of him. Everything about him amazes her. And oddly enough, he feels the same way about her --

Aside from the magic of The Meadow, I think we need to discuss something else that is vital to the movie. That something is Chemistry. Sometimes actors just have it and a movie is great because of it. Other times the actors really have none at all, and the movie suffers. By all accounts, Rob and Kristen have it. Just looking at them in real life and how they act towards one another, you can see that there is something special there. From all I have heard, they are truly magical on the screen. I can’t wait to see for myself, but all of the little scenes and bits and pieces of the movie that I have seen lead me to believe I have nothing to worry about. They are both wonderful actors who really put all of themselves into their roles, and I think they compliment one another well. They are not only beautiful to look at but something special to watch. I really hope we get to watch them together for another 3 movies!!!

Rob and Kristen in a recent photo shoot, him being all 'brooding' --


At that same photo shoot - he's obviously not brooding all the time! :D He said recently that he loves to make life difficult for her, that's why he says things about how wonderful she is and how it would be easy to fall in love with her. I'm sure her boyfriend appreciates that... :P


Look at those eyes!! Another recent photo shoot. I love some of the other photos from this shoot, but I haven't seen this one much and I think it's beautiful...

Yet another photo shoot. So pretty...

And the gorgeous twosome at the Twilight premiere Monday night. It doesn't get much prettier than this...

Now that you've seen 30 reasons to love Twilight I expect to hear from you all about how you ran out and bought the books and read them all within a week and now can't stop thinking about Edward and how amazing he is and Bella and how hopelessly in love with him she is. I even want to hear how you hope Jacob gets hit by a bus for doing what he does in Eclipse... I won't spoil it for you, it's WAY too good!!! These books are an easy read yet they are so personal that it feels like you are reading someone's journal or something.

I hope you enjoyed a little peak into my obsession, well one of them anyway! :D Now I must sleep because it's after 1:30 in the morning and at this time tomorow I will be sitting in a movie theater with my bestest friend Melissa watching Twilight and oohing and aahing over My Spunk. Oh, I can't wait!!!!!!!!

It's Twilight Baby!!!!

Reasons I Love Twilight - #2...

Reason # 2 – Edward’s Crooked Smile

I know I’ve mentioned this smile before – the one that stops Bella in her tracks and basically leaves her breathless. She calls it her ‘favorite smile’ and after Edward realizes what he’s doing and how it affects her, he seems to do it more and, in certain instances, on purpose. At first he thinks something is wrong with her. He can hear the thoughts of other human women when he uses a little extra charm on them, but he never imagines that Bella is reacting the same way they do. He’s so used to hearing their thoughts that he doesn’t take into account the changes in their heart beat and breathing, which is the only change he can notice in Bella.

The first time Bella sees the smile is in Biology class. It’s a week after she has started school in Forks and a week after the day Edward seemed to hate her. That first day, the day he smelled her blood and fought the urge to kill her, he acted furious with her, but really he was angry with himself because he was letting a human affect him in a way no one had ever affected him before. He hated her because of it. He left for a week and then returned with a renewed determination to not kill her, but to be stronger than the desire he felt for her blood. That day, as they sat together in Biology class, they had to perform a lab and work together. Edward introduced himself to Bella and seemed perfectly polite, which led her to wonder if she had imagined the entire incident on her first day of school. As they sat, Edward turned to her and said –

“Ladies first, partner?” Edward asked. I looked up to see him smiling a crooked smile so beautiful that I could only stare at him like an idiot.
“Or I could start, if you wish.” The smile faded; he was obviously wondering if I was mentally competent.
“No,” I said, flushing. “I’ll go ahead.”

And here’s Edward’s version of it, showing that he really had no idea what he did to her.

It felt like it took every single ounce of self-control that I’d achieved in seventy years of hard work to turn back to the girl, who was staring down at the table, and smile.
“Ladies first, partner?” I offered.
She looked up at my expression and her face went blank, her eyes wide. Was there something off in my expression? Was she frightened again? She didn’t speak.
“Or, I could start, if you wish,” I said quietly.
“No,” she said, and her face went from white to red again. “I’ll go first.”

Just think, 4 books of this!! How could you not want to read them all??? :D

Edward and his 'crooked smile' --


He uses it again on her when they are in Port Angeles --

Here's My Spunk at some Hollywood event. Nice...

And again at a movie premiere. Seriously, don't you want to see this smile every day??? *sigh*

And my favorite picture, well one of them. So many good ones have come out recently. Oh, the cuteness...

Here is one of the first trailer’s for the movie. It’s on the Penelope dvd. (Which was a really cute movie, by the way! :D ) The awesome ‘crooked smile’ bit is at the end, but the first part of it gives you a good idea of what it’s about. Plus the little interview pieces with My Spunk are just lovely… He’s awfully sweet…



Can you believe it, ONE MORE DAY!!!!! O_O Wow!! Time sure does fly!!
What ever will I do with all my spare time when I’m not typing out reasons every day? Oh that’s right, sit in a movie theater watching all those reasons!!! :D

(PS -- I think the world has caught on the the awesomeness of My Spunk... I'm not too sure how I feel about this. I'm glad that they love him, but I don't like to share... He is My Spunk, afterall. :D )

Reasons I Love Twilight - #3...

Reason # 3 – Edward’s Piano

Edward plays the piano. Really???? Is there anything that Edward can’t do? No, he can do anything, and do it better than most anyone else. At least that’s what Bella soon finds out after spending some time with him. I hated piano lessons when I was growing up. But I will be the first to admit that I wish I had stuck with them and that I could play the piano now. I did a little in high school and afterwards, but without a piano in the house you can’t really practice. Maybe one of these days I will change that.

One of the scenes from the movie that I am most looking forward to is the piano/lullaby scene. I am dying to see My Spunk play the piano. That’s kind of my idea of Heaven… To just listen to him play the piano and then play the guitar and sing. That’s not bad, right? :P Well, that while drinking Vanilla Pepsi and eating Mexican food and whatever candy I’m craving at the moment. That would be just about perfect. :D

In the book and apparently in the movie, Edward writes a lullaby for Bella and when he takes her to meet his family, Esme encourages him to play the piano for Bella. He’s a little hesitant, but he does it. This is the conversation after Esme notices Bella looking at the piano –

“Do you play?” she asked, inclining her head toward the piano.
I shook my head. “Not at all. But it’s so beautiful. Is it yours?”
“No,” she laughed. “Edward didn’t tell you he was musical?”
“No.” I glared at his suddenly innocent expression with narrowed eyes. “I should have known, I guess.”
Esme raised her delicate eyebrows in confusion.
“Edward can do everything, right?” I explained.
Jasper snickered and Esme gave Edward a reproving look.
“I hope you haven’t been showing off – it’s rude,” she scolded.
“Just a bit,” he laughed freely. Her face softened at the sound, and they shared a brief look that I didn’t understand, though Esme’s face seemed almost smug.
“He’s been too modest, actually,” I corrected.
“Well, play for her,” Esme encouraged.
“You just said showing off was rude,” he objected.
“There are exceptions to every rule,” she replied.
“I’d like to hear you play,” I volunteered.
“It’s settled then.” Esme pushed him toward the piano. He pulled me along, sitting me on the bench beside him.
He gave me a long, exasperated look before he turned to the keys.
…Edward looked at me casually, the music still surging around us without a break, and winked. “Do you like it?”
“You wrote this?” I gasped, understanding.
He nodded. “It’s Esme’s favorite.”
I closed my eyes, shaking my head.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m feeling extremely insignificant.”
The music slowed, transforming into something softer, and to my surprise I detected the melody of his lullaby weaving through the profusion of notes.
“You inspired this one,” he said softly. The music grew unbearable sweet.
I couldn’t speak.

Here is a little video with scenes from the movie set to Bella’s Lullaby, the one written for and used in the movie. This video isn’t the greatest quality but I love it because it actually shows the piano scene. I get to see My Spunk playing the piano!!! You'll have to pause the playlist at the bottom of the blog so that you can hear the lovely lullaby. I'm still bummed it's not the actual one that My Spunk wrote, but those dvd extra's are starting to look better and better...





Did I mention how much I love a boy who can play the piano??? I guess maybe I did…

Reasons I Love Twilight - #4...

Reason # 4 – A Quote

This quote is one of the most famous from the Twilight series. It pretty much sums up the whole Edward and Bella relationship. People have this quote tattooed on themselves! I’m a huge fan, but I don’t know if I’d go that far. Maybe something else though…

This quote is heard in The Meadow scene, which we have yet to address – the scene that started off the whole Twilight craze. As Edward shows Bella what he really is, Bella shocks him by not being afraid or running away. She knows how crazy she is to stay with him and she finally understands how truly dangerous he is, especially to her because of the way her blood smells to him, but she loves him and she can’t leave. Neither can he and with that they finally realize the emotions that they are each feeling for one another.

“And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…,” he murmured. I looked away, hiding my eyes as I thrilled to the word.
“What a stupid lamb,” I sighed.
“What a sick, masochistic lion.” He stared into the shadowy forest for a long moment, and I wondered where his thoughts had taken him.

Ahh, that’s so sweet. And, as a side note, I really love the shirts that people have now with the pictures on them pertaining to this quote. So Cute!! They say –

(And if you haven’t read Breaking Dawn then you will find this spoilery… Sorry. :D )

Keep in mind these are pictures - Lion + Lamb = Loch Ness Monster

(Explanation - lion = Edward, lamb = Bella, Loch Ness Monster = Reneesme, or Nessie as Jacob nicknames her, who is Edward and Bella's daughter.)

So Funny!!!

Edward and Bella...

Edward and Bella in a rare happy moment...

Edward and Bella again...

Rob and Kristen in a picture for the Entertainment Weekly magazine from last week...


And the gorgeous picture I found last week that was taken when Rob and Kristen were in Rome a few weeks ago. When you see this picture up close you gotta see the eyelashes. Wow, so pretty!!

Only 3 reasons to go!! I can't believe it's almost here!!!

Reasons I Love Twilight - #5...

Reason #5 – Alice

Aside from Edward and Bella, I think my favorite character is Alice. I don’t think I’m alone in that opinion. I love Jasper and Emmett and all the rest of the Cullen family, and I even have a soft spot in my heart for Jacob, but Alice is just a force of nature!

Alice joined the Cullen family after being turned into a vampire by an older vampire who worked in the asylum Alice had been placed in. As a human, her family thought she was crazy because she saw visions of the future. James, the vampire who later comes after Bella, saw her and since her blood smelled almost irresistible to him, kind of like how Bella’s blood ‘sings’ to Edward, he decided to kill Alice. The old vampire was in love with Alice and saved her the only way he knew how – by changing her into a vampire. James then killed the older vampire and Alice was left on her own. Her first vision after her transformation was of Jasper and then of the Cullen family. She knew that that was where her life was heading. Alice has a special gift. Much like Edward’s ability to read people’s minds, or Jasper’s ability to sense people’s emotion, Alice is able to see the future. She can only see the path that someone’s life will take after they have made a decision that will lead them to it. Because of this her visions are very subjective and can change in an instant, but the Cullen family depends on her ability. Alice is Edward’s favorite sister and she quickly becomes Bella’s best friend. She is funny and sincere and loving and just a wonderful friend and sister to everyone. Bella worries about Alice because she is so small, pixie-like is how Bella describes her, but as we quickly see, Alice can more than take care of herself. I can’t imagine how different the story would be without Alice. It wouldn’t be much of a story at all, actually. Alice really comes to life in the following books, but we will have to wait for those to discuss the awesomeness that she brings about. Oh, I can’t wait for a certain car scene in New Moon and one of her most commonly quoted phrases – “How strongly are you opposed to grand theft auto?” Oh Alice, you rock!!!

Here's Alice!!


Alice in action! This is a scene from the movie when Alice and Jasper have taken Bella to hide her from James. Alice see's the room where James is, and she later see's James attacking Bella, but she can't figure out what goes wrong. Here is Alice in action as Jasper tries to help.


The Cullen kids. This is one of the first cast pictures as they were trying to figure out the hair and make-up for everyone. They decided to make a few changes but Alice stayed pretty much the same.


Alice is played by Ashley Greene. Here she is with Jackson Rathbone, who plays Jasper. She's such a pretty girl and looks so totally different in her real life. But then so does Jackson. Wouldn't they be cute as a couple... Maybe after a few more sequels they will come to that conclusion too! :D


Oh, you gotta love Alice!!!

Reasons I Love Twilight - #6...

Reason # 6 – Angry Edward

I know I’ve discussed Edward and how much I love him. I’ve also discussed Robert Pattinson, the actor portraying Edward in the movie, and how smitten I am with him. The one aspect of this that I haven’t really touched on yet is the one that has the most dramatic effect on me. I don’t know what it is about this that causes me to scream each time I see the movie scenes relating to this – what it is that causes me to grin from ear to ear just remembering the parts of the book where he makes an appearance. In real life, I can’t stand it when men have tempers. I don’t like it when men act crazy and domineering, like they are just looking for a fight. It really bothers me and it’s quite a turnoff. I think it’s just very childish and ridiculous. A waste of time and energy really. But Angry Edward, as I choose to call him, drives me insane!! I. Love. Him. Actually to say that I love him really isn’t correct. It’s so much more than love; I don’t even know how to express it. Why I feel this way I honestly don’t know! It’s the weirdest thing, but I can’t stop it either. Aaahhhhh, Angry Edward…..

So the first time we really get to see the full force of the wonder that is Angry Edward is during the Port Angeles scene when Edward rescues Bella from the group of men who are about to harm and most likely kill her. Up to this point Bella has seen him upset and intimidating, a little angry, but nothing like this, and it catches her by surprise just a bit. I am SO glad that this scene has been included in the movie!! And from the trailers it looks like I will be very happy with it. Just as Bella is about to be attacked, Edward drives around the corner and yells for her to get into his car, which she does. She feels very safe with him even though she can see the ‘murderously angry’ expression on his face. They drive in silence until finally coming to a stop. This is the little conversation they have, which I love!!!

“Bella?” he asked, his voice tight, controlled.
“Yes?” My voice was still rough. I tried to clear my throat quietly.
“Are you all right?” He still didn’t look at me, but the fury was plain on his face.
“Yes,” I croaked softly.
“Distract me, please,” he ordered.
“I’m, sorry, what?”
He exhaled sharply.
“Just prattle about something unimportant until I calm down,” he clarified, closing his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger.

"Just prattle about something..." I Love It!!! We see Angry Edward again towards the end of the book/movie when James is threatening to kill Bella, and the movie has a great fight scene which features Dive-Bombing Edward… Seriously, why does he do this to me??? My favorite Angry Edward scene ever is in Eclipse, and in case you're wondering it takes place in Bella's bedroom and starts on page 140. But we will have to wait for that movie to come out and then PRAY that they include that scene. Although I don’t know if I would be able to contain my joy and excitement at seeing it on the big screen. That would be truly glorious…

Here's one of the movie posters featuring the Angry Edward look. Oh gee... Shoot me now...


Here is the scene when Bella guesses what Edward is, and he says, "Say it. Out loud. SAY IT!!" He's not totally angry here, but he's getting close...

And here are Edward and James fighting. James says, "You're faster than the others, but not stronger." To which Edward replies, "I'm strong enough to kill you." Which of course, he is...

Here is Edward standing by his car just before he saves Bella for the first time. He's not too angry, but the look on his face sure isn't happy...

Here is Edward in the hospital after saving Bella and just before talking to her. She wants to know how he stopped the van from crushing her and he can't tell her, so he tries to intimidate her. Rob has said that this was one of his favorite scenes to film because he really enjoyed playing these emotions with Kristen - getting her response to what he was doing. I kinda can't wait to see this scene...


And here is the Port Angeles scene when Edward pulls up and saves Bella from the bad guys. You may have seen this on the commercials, I know I have. And everytime I do I scream. :D Angry Edward!!!!! It's so great too because as he jumps out of the car he growls at Bella - "Get in the car!!!" And then he goes after the bad guys. Holy Hannah!! It's gonna be awesome!!!!

Maybe if I can get it to work, then I will embed the commercial that shows this scene, or the one that shows Dive-Bombing Edward. Both of them are amazing!!

Crap, he's truly something...

Reasons I Love Twilight - #7...

Reason # 7 – The Bottle Cap Souvenir

Okay, this reason is technically in Midnight Sun, but it is also in Twilight, we just don’t realize what it is until after reading Midnight Sun. At lunch time on the day that Edward has asked Bella to drive to Seattle with him, they sit together in the cafeteria having their first real, in depth conversation. Now, keep in mind that the night before this is when Edward first went to Bella’s room and heard her talking about him in her sleep – the night he fell in love with her. As their conversation progresses we can see how confused she is by him and his actions, and we can also see how in love with her he is, yet she doesn’t realize it. He is still struggling with whether or not he will kill her or be able to leave her alone. The only thing Bella gets for lunch is a bottle of lemonade. Towards the end of the conversation Edward picks up the lid from the lemonade bottle and begins to play with it, spinning it like a top. Bella thinks nothing of it and soon hurries off to class, leaving him with his makeshift top. (Edward is ditching because the class is Biology and they will be doing blood typing, which is obviously something a vampire trying to refrain from drinking human blood would want to steer clear of! :D )

Now, when we read Midnight Sun we get a little different take on the whole situation. Edward takes to bottle cap in an effort to distract himself, but after Bella leaves he slips it into his pocket as a “souvenir of this most consequential conversation” and then leaves to go to his car. As he is sitting in the car, listening to music, he begins to hear another tune in his head – a lullaby. Later that evening when he is at home he sits down at the piano and begins playing the lullaby – Bella’s Lullaby. As he plays, Alice and Esme come to sit with him, listening to him play. After playing the song all the way through, and then playing a few other things, Esme asks him to play the song again –

“Play the new song for me, one more time,” Esme asked.
“If you’d like that,” I agreed, though I was a little hesitant to follow the tune to its unavoidable end – the end that had me aching in unfamiliar ways. I thought for a moment, then pulled the bottle cap from my pocket and set it on the empty music stand. That helped a bit – my little memento of her yes.
I nodded to myself and started playing,
Esme and Alice exchanged a glance, but neither one asked.

I love all the insight that Midnight Sun offers on Twilight. Just think, we would never have known any of these amazing things about Edward if we didn’t have it. Let’s just hope that Stephenie Meyer is able to finish it. Especially now that she has peaked my interest by saying she already had the car chase scene figured out in her head! What!!! When is that?!?! During the hunting of James? Maybe after Edward arrives at the airport and has to steal a car and race to save Bella? I have GOT to know!!! :D

So since this reason is kind of putting a twist on my whole "Only reasons from Twilight" thinking, I decided to use some pictures that are along those same lines. These are all fan made manipulations -- meaning they were created by people from other pictures. I think they are pretty good, I mean heck, you can't even tell they aren't actual photos! Another one is the one I used for the background of my playlist at the bottom of the blog -- the Tangled one that I love so much!! Ahh, the power of PhotoShop!! :D

Here is Edward at his piano --


Here are Edward and Bella sitting together. I love the softness about this one, the way they just look so calm and easy together --

Edward and Bella looking a little more modern --

Edward and Bella looking relaxed and comfortable together --

This one is really cute! I love the playfulness of them. Very fun!!!


Ahhh, only 6 days left!! Can you believe it?!?!?!

Reasons I Love Twilight - #8...

Reason # 8 – A Quote

As Bella tries to figure out what Edward is, as she spends more and more time with him, as she sees him and listens to him, she begins to realize that ultimately she doesn’t care what he is. And after he saves her in Port Angeles and then they spend the evening together talking and expressing their feelings for one another, Bella realizes something –

“About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him – and I didn’t know how potent that part might be – that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.”

I think I speak for millions of women across the world when I say -- Yeah, me too…

I love this picture! It's from the scene in the movie where Edward reveals to Bella that he is, in fact, a vampire. Or maybe the better way to describe it is that bella guesses after he says to her - Say it. Out loud. SAY IT! Ahh, *swoon*!! He's almost in Angry Edward mode right there...


This is a picture of Rob and Kristen at a recent photo shoot for Vanity Fair. I think it is a good depiction of how Bella feels about Edward. He's on his own but she doesn't care -- she wants to be with him.



And here is another recent photo shoot with Rob and Kristen. This is an outtake from the new Entertainment Weekly magazine. Beautiful!!! And again, a good depiction of Bella's feelings towards Edward.


And Edward and Bella at the prom. Looks like maybe that thirst for her blood is finally gonna get the best of him...

He is so tortured, and yet it's her love that makes him almost human again. I love the way she looks at him in this picture. He looks away, drowning in his self-hatred, and she stares right into his eyes, seeing there what he can not see in himself.

Only a week left!!! I can hardly stand it!!! Oh, and if you wanna see the movie on opening day, I'd suggest buying your tickets NOW!! Places are selling out fast!! Don't say I didn't warn you...
