This article about the new Twilight movie had me cracking up. It’s a great article, first off… and put to rest some of my fears about the book to movie transition. Some of the author’s choice words are amusing, to say the least. Check it out, it’s a good read. Here are some notable quotes from the article that had me laughing..

Hardwicke tenderly builds the love story of the emotionally lost Bella (Kristen Stewart) and BVOC (Big Vampire On Campus) Edward (Robert Pattinson). Their relationship develops under cloudy skies. That’s not being metaphorical. It seems vampires have blingish skin that sparkles in direct sunlight.

Okay, BVOC? Brilliant!! And yes, I’d say Edward Cullen is indeed the Big Vampire On Campus. I wish I’d thought of that. And as you can tell by the title of this post, I love his “blingish skin” - so funny. I’m very curious to see how they blinged his skin in the movie… I only hope it’s half as good as I have imagined Edward Cullen’s blingish skin (I just like saying that now).

The action picks up in the last fourth of the book, when Bella becomes the blue-plate special for a group of vampires who prefer to dine from the human menu.

Keep in mind, I’m easily amused… blue-plate special made me snort. I like this guys style of writing.

In case you didn’t know.. it’s TWILIGHT WEEK!!! And in case you have been living under a rock, or don’t know how to read (why else would anyone NOT read these books?)… I am sharing the trailer for the movie with you here today.  Ok, it’s not the “official” trailer or anything, but it’s one of the better ones! I’m so excited I could just… oh, I don’t know…. kiss Edward Cullen or something really crazy like that!

And can I just say, James is one pretty hot vampire, too. What am I saying? Vampires are hot, period.

And yes, I’m fully aware that I sound like a raving lunatic at this very moment. It’s all good. This is my escape from reality, let me enjoy it, will ya?

It’s Twilight week here at AG&HB! I’m sorry, but I can think of nothing else. And I’m really peeved that I have to work Friday  night, and won’t get to see the movie until Saturday!! I keep telling myself that it’s okay, maybe I will avoid the droves of teenage girls sure to flood the theaters on Friday night, but in reality, I’m just not okay with it. I’m really hating it - really, really, really hating it!

I peeked up at him one more time, and regretted it. He was glaring down at me again, his black eyes full of revulsion. As I flinched away from him, shrinking against my chair, the phrase if looks could kill suddenly ran through my mind.

I love this part in the book, in the beginning. I especially loved reading it from Edward’s perspective in Midnight Sun. I sincerely do hope that the author, Stephenie Meyers, opts to finish Midnight Sun. It’s so enlightening on nearly every single aspect of Twilight - and very captivating, to say the least. I mean, who doesn’t want to hear Edward Cullen’s side of the story? Call me crazy, but I want everything Edward Cullen has to offer!

His fingers were ice-cold, like he’d been holding them in a snowdrift before class. But that wasn’t why I jerked my hand away so quickly. When he touched me, it stung my hand as if an electric current had passed through us.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 2, p.45

An electric current. Wow! I have only known one person in my life that has ever made me feel that way, and you know what? It still happens with him. If he just gets too close, brushes up against me, I get butterflies and the whole nine. Granted, he’s no Edward Cullen, I just felt the need to share that tidbit.

He is probably the reason I’m choosing to focus on Twilight this week. I’m pretty sure this week is the week he will disappear from my life for approximately 28 days. I am not sure how I am going to cope with that. He is my lifeline, my confidant, the main person on the face of this Earth that really gets me. And he’s going to be gone, and the mere thought of not being able to call or see him on a whim leaves me grasping for air.

Back to Twilight…

I couldn’t allow him to have this level of influence over me. It was pathetic. More than pathetic, it was unhealthy.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 4, p.74

Aaahhh…. Bella Swan, you and I have more in common than even I have noticed. Except for the fact, that you totally get your happy ending. You get Edward Cullen and happily ever after. Lucky you, fictional character, lucky you.
