Muse Rocks!!!

I love Muse and this song is just perfect for Eclipse!!

Do you like it??

Jackson is pretty

Dear Jackson Rathbone,

You are so pretty. Your voice is hypnotizing and if an army of newborn vampires wants to attack me I hope you will come and train me or better yet protect me. I wouldn't mind hiding out in a tent and snuggling for a while. Your hair in Eclipse is still a bit off. Your real hair or even your Twilight hair would have been better.

I love your style. I even like the aquamarine coat from the MTV Movie Awards. You were great at the convention and I truly thank you for not hiding your face like some other people I will not mention.

I am a huge 100 Monkeys fan. I went because of Jasper, but left because of You, Ben G, Ben J, Jerad, and Uncle Larry. I truly wish I was a Monkey. In fact I am a Monkey Junkie. And most inappropriately, when I was flying to L.A. the only song in my head was Wings on Fire. Grape is my favorite CD right now. (even my kids sing it)

I am thankful that I have a seven year old son. (for many other reasons as well) He is begging to see The Last Airbender. SCORE!!! Now I don't have to be the creepy lady in the theatre full of boys. I can't wait to see you on the big screen. It will be a date night. Me and The Big One and you. I will buy popcorn.

I will end this little letter with a quote:

"It's not like I'm a junkie for your love."

But it is. I am a junkie.

XOXO

MTV Rough Cut

MTV did a series of short videos from the Eclipse press junket with Rob and Kristen. I really enjoyed them and surprise, surprise, the interviewer was not a douche!

Rob on Leno

Like I said-- I am late, but better late than never. Rob was adorable on Leno. Buy a new car, sweetie! You can afford it!

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. (Spoilers!)

Just like when I purchased Twilight I waited to read this book. It had been mutually decided upon by MrsMe and me to read the book together on the plane ride to L.A.

It was torture. I sat there stroking the book. I was a book molester. I was able to resist the urge to read it. I will admit that I read the ending. WTF- Bree dies. That is the end. I was seriously put out that I was feeling guilty about reading the ending and then I read the last page. DUH!!

I held myself back and had my book out before the plane began to taxi. MrsMe actually asked if I was really going to read the book NOW. Well, yes, sweetheart. I am dying here!

So, I read it. And I read it fast. And---I guess I enjoyed it. ??? It was so incomplete and I have decided that I really hate first person writing.

I did enjoy it for what it was, and I am glad that I purchased the book.

Here are a couple of points that I want to highlight-- Good and Bad:

I like Riley. He is almost as misinformed as the newborns. I will be interested to see how he is portrayed in the film.

The relationship between Bree and Diego was treated like an afterthought. Maybe fan fiction has ruined Stephenie Meyer's writing for me? :(

Freaky Fred is AWESOME!!

I never thought about the fact that Bree would be conveying information to Edward. That's cool!

I adore the fact that Edward tells her to not look. That little tidbit is in Eclipse, but I never caught it before. Have I ever mentioned how much I love Edward?

Now for some questions:

Do you think this book sets up a vampire sequel?

Do you think that the book should be a movie?

Did you like it?

Let me know!!!

Here is a small clip from Eclipse featuring Jodelle Ferland as Bree Tanner. Enjoy!!

More Eclipse jibber jabber

Does that Eclipse countdown clock say 11 days??

Where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday that I was counting down the days until New Moon and now Eclipse is upon us. I have been a loser at blogging about all the great Twilight Saga news. I seriously didn't even write about Stephenie Meyer's new novella. What is wrong with me?

I can tell you about the 1 million real life cock blocks I have encountered, but -blah blah blah- I don't even want to recount them. What I had been up to was preparing for my epic trip to L.A. for the Official Eclipse Convention! And I can definitely say that it was a once in a lifetime experience.

We had a jam packed schedule and saw panels with everyone of the major characters except for seven:Billy Burke (Charlie), Bronson Pelletier (Jared), Anna Kendrick (Jessica), Dakota Fanning (Jane), Cameron Bright (Alec), Charlie Bewley (Demetri), and Jodelle Ferland (Bree)and let's not forget Kellen... Kellen Lutz has twice evaded me :( I was desperately hoping for some Emmett!!!

Now for the list of who we did see:

Friday--

Tinsel Korey (Emily)

Kiowa Gordon (Embry)

Booboo Stewart (Seth)-- I will be devoting a whole post to this little cutie!!!

Michael Welch (Mike Newton)

Justin Chon (Eric Yorkie)

Saturday--

The Cullen Family-

Elizabeth Reaser (Esme) Her laugh is infectious

Ashley Greene (Alice) Gorgeous, but said little

Jackson Rathbone (Jasper) OMG OMG OMG!! Thud... I fell off my chair again.

Nikki Reed (Rosalie) Wow- She is dark. I bet the make-up artists cuss about her

Peter Facinelli (Carlisle) He know what the crowd wants and delivers.

The Bad Vampires--

Bryce Dallas Howard (Victoria) She is stunningly beautiful!

Xavier Samuel (Riley) I love the Aussie accent.

Gil Birmingham (Billy Black) His voice is amazing.

Christian Serratos (Angela) Sorry we took up your precious time, Princess!

Daniel Cudmore (Felix) Wow- tall is an inadequate adjective

Booboo Stewart (Seth)

Tyson Houseman (Quil Ateara) Wandered around alone. We would have been your friend.

The Wolf Pack Panel-

Alex Meraz (Paul) Love the grin, Alex!

Julia Jones (Leah) She wore the most kick-ass shoes. I sprained my ankle just looking at them.

Chaske Spencer (Sam) You big manly man- Your voice made my toes curl.

THE BIG THREE!!!

Robert Pattinson (Edward) Homina homina homina

Kristen Stewart (Bella) Please don't wear a wig for Breaking Dawn

Taylor Lautner (Jacob) As awful as this sound I was so into Rob that I forgot to pay attention to him. Gulp.

Sunday--

Booboo Stewart (Seth) His mom is hilarious and his sister's name is Fivel. I am totally naming my next kid Fivel.

Justine Wachberger (Gianna) Buon Pemerico (sp?) She is not in Eclipse Creation... We skipped her.

Tyson Houseman (Quil) We skipped him to and went on a bus tour of L.A. I saw Madonna's house instead.


So there is the run down of our schedule. We barely ate, but MrsMe was able to drink an entire aluminum Edward Water bottle full of Malibu and Cranberry juice. She was rolling on Friday night. In fact she almost missed Jackson because of her religion (She was praying to the porcelain god)

I have so much more to write about- like my big win and prize, thank you Twilight Makeup for making me look like an 80 year old hooker. For now I am going to sign off and go to bed.

xoxo

Guess What- I went to L.A. and I saw Rob

About three things I was absolutely positive.

First, Robert is Not Edward.

Second, there was a part of him- and it wasn't the hair or the smile, that reminded me of the man who appeared in the pages of my book.

And third, I am still unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him and still a proud member of Team Robert --- I mean Team Edward!

I hoped he would sit on our side of the stage and he did!! He only looked over twice, but that's okay. Did I mention that I breathed his air? That is right. I breathed in and out the same air as Rob!!


Kristen is gorgeous so much more in person!



I would have been embarrassed, as well, if the crazies in the audience were yelling for me to take my shirt off every time it got quiet. Shut up you stupid immature idiots!!! He's not going to take his shirt off!




No luck in sending a smile my way, but when he did look over he laughed at the girl in front of me!





Kristen seemed to not be as nervous and eloquently answered her questions!

They talked amongst themselves quite a bit and that was cute in a way, but I wish we could have heard what they were saying.

I have so much more to say and so many posts to write. I will be working on catching up!!

(Source for pictures since my camera sucked and my laptop died)

Passion

One of the neatest things about the convention was the fact that no matter who you talked to, the lady sitting next to you, the family in the elevator, or the volunteers, you all had something in common and never lacked for a conversation starter. Twilight.

I know, as well as you, because I have said it a million times, reading Twilight changed my life. I think that it just gave me something to love. Not the same kind of love that I have for my kids or my husband, but an escape. My supernatural hiding place where no stress can touch me.

What I have often wondered is whether or not my obsession is healthy? It seems that I am not the only one. If you look at my facebook friends you will see that about half of them are in some way related to my love of Twilight. So obviously I am not alone, but am I a minority? What we all have in common is a passion for the same thing.

How many people in your life can you say really have a passion? I couldn't tell you what my Mom's passion is or my Dad's. I can't tell you my husband's or my best friend's. I can tell you my kid's, though. Huh? Maybe they have not been jaded by life, and have not learned how to put their obligations before passions?

The people that I met at The Twilight convention all had one thing in common-- a passion. Regardless of our obligations we were all able to come together and share conversation and smiles.

I think the secret of life is to find your passion. To find it and hold onto it until it becomes an obligation. To be happy!!

LA- Here we come!!

OH MY DEAR SWEET EDWARD!!! I am going to LA June 10-14 to see Rob, Kristen, and Taylor and many others at the Eclipse Convention!!!

I literally can barely form a sentence let alone type a post!!!!!

I have an extra kidney that I will sell, 2 cats, and I will even rent out my husband for odd jobs!! I need a convincing argument for my kids that college is really not necessary. Money is seriously going to be gone after this. Hamburger Helper and PB and J all summer!!!

Oh well... It will be so worth it!!!

I so hope that Rob Kristen and Taylor are this funny in LA!!

A short bit of my convention trip (finally- I know)

Wow- I had so much fun at the convention, but I haven't written a word about it! Life has been so crazy busy!!! (All together I spent $1000 to go to the convention...gulp gulp..., so a yard sale was necessary to make some back. I have been purging my house and the computer sucks me in too deep. So-- I have been staying away from it..

Here is my short little blurp about each celebrity we heard speak:

Peter Facinelli (Carlisle) - Super nice and seemingly humble. He talks about his kids a lot, which I think is adorable. He also answers the question with great detail and goes off on very interesting tangents that gave me insight into who he is.

Michael Welch (Mike Newton) - Also gives great answers to the asked questions. He hosted the karaoke party and sang quite a bit for us. His hair was long and pretty dark. He looked way different from his character. I heard it through the grapevine that he fell off the stage because someone moved the stage and the next day was obviously hurting. His autograph session took over 3 hours. He gave everyone a smile and talked a bit, which the other celebrities really didn't do.

Edi Gathegi (Laurent) - The biggest surprise! He was so freaking hilarious!! His "Geneva" impression was so funny. I think Edi is a great example of what a celebrity who is trying to advance his career should be. I had been thinking of skipping his talk because I was starving, but stayed anyways. I also probably wouldn't have gone to see a movie that he was in, as I have with Rob and Kristen, but now after hearing him talk and learning more about him, I would totally go to a movie to support him.

Kiowa Gordon (Embry Call)- Most Boring- Ok- first of all he reminded me of my high school boyfriend *shudders*. The whole raised eyebrow thing creeped me out. He acted like he was so bored and didn't want to be there. He slumped in his chair and answered questions with one word answers- Yes, no, maybe, oh I take it back, we did get an "I don't know" once, that's 3 words. When he came to the breakfast he wore his sunglasses which was kinda rude in my opinion. He did confirm something about the movie business, It's all about who you know. Stephenie Meyer goes to church with his mom and he had tagged along. She met him and mentioned that he should go to the open casting call. He got the job.

Justin Chon (Eric Yorkie) - Funny, but kinda spastic. He was nothing like I expected. He was very funny, but I was a little weirded out when he jumped out of his chair, knocking it over and ran off stage saying he had to pee. I had to pee too, but you didn't see me knocking my chair over and announcing it so loudly.

Tinsel Corey (Emily) - Wow- that girl can't sit still! She was practically twitching. It was really neat to hear her talk about the Wolf Pack and their relationship. She talked a bit about her music and the foundation she founded that would bring art and music programs to reservation schools. I enjoyed her talk.


I do have so much more to tell you and so much Eclipse news to talk about and I will. I plan on being back to full time writing next week. I have missed spewing my opinions and such!!!

Hope you like the pictures. Let's pretend that I am the hot tall one and not the short fat one. (MrsMe won't mind me pretending to be her.)
