This one is for you Kim!

Duuuuude!!! I stumbled across this picture on the internet while I was trying to find out what FTMFW meant. (For those curious, it means "for the mutha f*cking win"....). I'm a little disturbed. It feels all child pornographic for some reason.I must say R. Pattz, Edward Cullen you are not, in this shot.

Prepping for New Moon......

Yeah, I realize that New Moon poster image is a bit large, but the built up to the movie warrants the enormity of the image. Am I right ladies? Last week some girlfriends and I got together to rewatch Twilight, drink wine, and talk unabashedly about the hotness of Edward Cullen. We needed to reacquaint ourselves with Twilight to prepare ourselves for the release of New Moon, just a few short days away at that point.

I had seen this bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon at World Market a few weeks prior, and bought it as sort of a joke for the Twilight recap night. It actually turned out to be quite good! Made by Vampire Vineyards out of Paso Robles, California. I ended up buying another bottle a few days later, just as good the second time around.

Oh Edward and Bella, your love is so tortured and forbidden. I decided to bust out my werewolf hat, despite the fact that I'm totally Team Edward. I mean, Jacob Black is cool and all, but he is definitely no Edward Cullen. I mean, come on, Edward is immortal. Sure, a werewolf is a mythical creature, but not nearly as badass as a vampire.

As you can tell from this shot of the girls, Cyn may just want to slit her wrists at this point. Check out her body language, it oozes annoyance and boredom. Ashley looks completely enthralled, captivated even! Heather has seen the movie a few times, so I think she's just excited to have little Pip nuzzling up against her side.

And the actual New Moon movie? Loved. It. Loved it more than Twilight, which doesn't take much. I really liked the Twilight book, but felt the movie was so-so. New Moon? So much better. Better acting, better cinematography, better story development, better everything. I want to see it again! And reread Twilight and New Moon.

Anyone else see the movie? Comments?

La Push, Baby. It's La Push.

Last week Casey and Kim went camping on the peninsula. One of their destinations? La Push. For all you Twilight fans out there, La Push was a location featured in the series. In the movie, Eric Choe says "La Push, baby. It's La Push.".....and Kim and I have been repeating that phrase for the last few weeks in preparation for her trip to the coast. While she was there, she picked me up this souvenir, how fitting...... Love it.
In other Twilight news, I couldn't resist picking up this pre-cut, pre-packaged awesomeness last time I was at Lasting Memories in Lynnwood. Looks like I need to make a trip out to Forks, Washington so I can come up with a scrap layout. There is also the Cullen Family crest in that shot for all of you who aren't all over Edward Cullen's tip. Oh, and I might as well let the cat out of the bag here, I just loaned Gina my copy of Twilight, so she'll be all wrapped up in this Edward business soon enough!! Can't wait for her to choose a side. Be warned Gina, if you choose Team Jacob, our 20 year friendship may get rocked:)
Since the next Twilight series movie, New Moon, isn't coming out for a few more months, I need some dead eye candy to hold my attention for the time being. Let me introduce you to Eric Northman, the ancient Nordic vampire in HBO's True Blood series (drop what you are doing, click on that link, click on "Characters", click on "Eric Northman", and finally click on "Watch"....you won't be disappointed!). In the first season, Eric has long hair which makes him look kinda cheesy, but so far in season two his hair is short and it compliments him well. Nic, quit rolling your eyes.
Who plays Eric Northman? Let me introduce you to Alexander Skarsgard. Swedish dreamboat extraordinaire. Hello lover. And I just found this out, he is in the video for Lady GaGa's song, Paparazzi. Good choice Lady, good choice.

Edward Fever!!!!!

Some of us have been a little obsessed with Edward Cullen since Twilight, the movie, came out a few months ago. Kim, Heather, and I have been talking about the movie non-stop since the end of November. I don't think I've ever seen a movie twice in the theater, except for Twilight. Kim has us all beat out at 4 times (I still think it's 5!!). Heather is at #3. And we roped my sis and Corey in to the mix the other day. Chris read Twilight in a matter of a few hours, then plowed through the remaining 3 books in record time.

For Christmas, Heather and Nic got me the above poster as a "joke" gift. I mean really, I'm 31 years old, you'd think my days of putting up posters in my house died with my INXS posters in high school (I'm still mourning Michael Hutchence's death, btw). But no, I have that Edward poster tacked up in my laundry room. Yes, it has to share the same space as Frank's litter box, but by god!...it is up! I took a picture of it with my camera phone the other day and sent it to Kim and Heather. Kim saved it as the screen saver for her phone, and as my photo for my caller ID. I saved it as Kim's caller ID on my phone. We are both hoping that we call eachother more often so we can see his amazingly chisled face pop up on our screens. Ridiculous? Yes. Pathetic? Maybe. Totally awesome? For sure.

A couple nights ago, we had a "girls night" out. Ashley, Cynthia, Michelle, Heather, Kim, and I went out to dinner at Cactus in Madison Park. Heather, Kim, and I all rode in the same car and managed to talk about Edward Cullen, Twilight, Jacob Black, and the New Moon movie, almost the entire way to the restaurant. And if any of you realize, the drive from Greenlake to Madison Park, taking back roads, is like at least 15 to 20 minutes. At one point we all stopped talking and started laughing at how crazy we sounded. Three grown women talking about how hot Rob Pattison is as Edward Cullen. I have no shame and no regrets though, the joy that it brings us keeps us young at heart. Besides, we know all the guys are daydreaming about Natalie Portman and Zooey Deschanel, they are just a little less vocal about it.

I will continue to daydream about Edward Cullen.....and I will continue to hope that someday I'll find someone that has waited their whole life to find me.....and I will continue to hope that Kim calls me on a daily basis!!

When you can live forever, what do you live for?

It is no secret that myself, Kim, Heather, and Corey are all on board with Stephenie Meyer's Twilight book series. It was around January 2008 that I picked up Twilight and couldn't put it down. Then came New Moon and Eclipse. The final installment, Breaking Dawn, was icing on the blood-sucking cake. The four of us have been exchanging emails for months regarding the release of that final book, and the movie of the first book. It all came to fruition the morning of Saturday, November 22nd, 10am at the Oak Tree Cinemas on Aurora. Kim, Heather, and I got in line along with many a 12 year old girl to see Twilight, the movie. It did not disappoint. I think I had a smile on my face the entire movie. We are going to see it again this week with Corey. I am not ashamed to admit that I wish I had an Edward Cullen to call my own. Robert Pattison is a dream boat, make no mistake about it. Plus, the Iron & Wine song on the soundtrack is delicious.....check out "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" on iTunes, if you have the means, I highly recommend it.
