New Moon

Soooo.... i am a wee bit addicted to the Twilight book series. And i know i am not the only one reading this blog that can say that. I read the first book (Twilight) in a little over 24 hours. The second book, (New Moon) took me 2 days. Then the third book (my favorite, Eclipse) took me a little less than a week, then the 4th book (Breaking Dawn) i read to & from Disney in the car when we went in the spring. I am talking about 700+ page books here. I did have other things to do those weeks, but for some reason, i couldn't put them down. I was up until wee hours in the morning just reading.... so when the second movie was coming out, i was SUPER stoked! I loved the first movie, so the anticipation was killer for the second. My friend Jaime & myself got tickets as soon as they were available (talkin' months ahead of time here, people) to the midnight showing in our area. We counted down the months, then weeks, then days, then HOURS! We were so excited. In the meantime, i turned 30.... and Jaime got me New Moon shirt that said "Team Edward" on it! Hee Hee... i saved it for the premiere. It was so much fun, i felt like a teenager with all the excitement! All those who went were wearing vampire shirts/ apparel... here's me & Jaime at dinner beforehand....
And my friend Ann (on the left) with her "I'm with the rock hard vampires" shirt! We got so tickled reading everyone's shirts!
About 2 weeks before the big night, i found these twilight sweethearts on the halloween clearance candy... i couldn't resist, so i got us all a box. They were nasty though... but the box was nice to look at!
I was so excited at the house while waiting for time to go, that i was just pacing. So Randy said, "JUST GO!"... so i did! I ended up waiting at the restaurant for 45 minutes waiting on everyone else.... so i took a picture of myself waiting to pass the time....
When we finished dinner.. the waiting began. We waited in the theater for a good 3 hours & it was interesting what people do to pass the time. One woman did cartwheels to entertain us while this guy slept intermittently..... He didn't know it, but he thoroughly entertained us!My friend, Ann, brought fake cigarettes (it's an inside story from a vanity fair photo shoot that Rob Pattinson did (the vamp from the movie)).... so we all posed for silly pics with them too...
Then 12:01 came & went.... and no movie. The reel was messed up & so it didn't start until 45 minutes late! Arghhhh!! (We did get a free ticket out of the deal though!) When it finally did start, i took a picture of the opening shot....
On the way out (at 3:15 am) Jaime & I paused to take a photo one last time....
It was so much fun that i now can't wait for the release of the third movie... but June is a long time off!!!
