I've got the shirt (thanks Kimberly!).
And now I've officially met the family....
After months of anticipation, I joined the thousands who flocked to the theaters to see the movie. Yes, I'm a true Twilight fan! I actually don't remember EVER going to a midnight premiere for any movie. Go figure that it would be a vampire love story that would get me out with a thousand screaming teenage fans for opening night. Actually, there may have been more women my age there than teenagers, and I'm not sure which group was more crazy...
(I saw this picture on my good friend Christine's blog and couldn't resist. I think it shows just how crazy we all are about Edward...the perfect man... Or.... maybe it just shows how crazy my friend Stacey is. Yeah, I think that's it.)
Yes, I was there too, and I LOVED it! Talk about an electric atmosphere! The audience began screaming when the lights dimmed and the show was about to start. And if you thought they were excited then...you should have heard when Edward entered as the Cullen's made their first appearance on the big screen!
A few months ago a friend of mine decided it would be fun to rent a theater for a group of us who had been reading the books. She named us the "Nashville Coven", and began e-mailing everyone and generated enough excitement that we actually ended up filling two theaters, one of which held five hundred people. There was even a write up about our group in the local paper. We're famous!! Ok so we're not famous, but we sure had a good time. We even combined our forces and brought canned goods to donate to the Second Harvest Food Bank.
After reading the first two books which were given to her by my friend Angie, the manager of the theater decided to join in on the "Twilightmania" and offered to let us see the premiere at 10:00 instead of 12:00. Those of us who were questioning whether or not we could stay awake for a midnight showing, decided we were definitely "in".
Thanks Angie! It was a great GREAT girls night out. Now I'm asking myself did I love the movie or the experience. Truthfully, I wished Bella had more spunk, that Charlie looked more like I had imagined him, and his relationship with Bella had been developed more, that Rosalie was more angry and more perfect looking, and that Jacob....well lets say...he didn't look at all like "my" Jacob! As for Alice...I really liked her, and I still think she'd make a pretty awesome sister-in-law! I was not, however, disappointed in Edward. He was perfect. So, was it the movie, or was it the experience...I have to say...YES!
