Twilight

I feel the need to put a blurb in about Twilight! A bunch of us went to see the midnight showing of Twilight. I am usually a night owl, so this is right up my alley. As midnight approached, I grew more and more tired. Even though I am a night owl, I have a horrible habit of falling asleep in movies (Bolt- at 2:30 in the afternoon). I struggled to stay awake- not because I wasn't dying to see it- more because I had done a week of parent/teacher conferences (that's enough to want to go to bed early). Anyway- I left the movie feeling less than satisfied. However- I went to see the movie again Thanksgiving weekend (I wish I had pictures), and I realized that I was asleep during more than just the fight scene.

I have to say that I enjoyed the movie more the second time. Maybe it was because my expectations weren't as high. I do feel like they left soo much out and that the story went by soo fast. I don't know if you would fully "get into" the story unless you read the book. I did enjoy the characters more the second time. I can't wait for New Moon! I was in love with Jacob in the book and wonder if I'll love him in the movie (maybe a haircut would help). I am hoping that there will be a bigger budget on the next movie since Twilight did so well!


Everyone got a kick out of this part! There was giggling both times I saw the movie.

Here we are, at the midnight showing! (I know these pictures have been around- thank you to whoever took them!)
