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!

I admit it I was there too...and I'm not sold yet on whether I loved it or just liked it. At times I felt like a teeny bopper and maybe that's what I really loved was feeling that way again and giggling like a total idiot with my punch drunk friends...drunk being a loose term here there was no alcohol involved in the screening process...:) I'm glad I'm not the only one crazy enough to get sucked into the madness... and I admit I've seen it again and I'm still on the fence?
That sounds like a lot of fun! I haven't read the book or seen the movie...I'm such a nerd:) You look so young and beautiful no one would even believe that you are a grandma!!
You are crazy. That night was the only night that you, Robyn, and Kimberly were all awake at the same time later than me. That's why I had to call all of you.
How fun does that sound??? I am so jealous. And I love the shirt...
You are CRAZY!! I wanted to go to the Twilight midnight showing but it sold out before I could get tickets. I was glad that I was able to see it on Friday.
I still havent seen it. I have no one to go with me....sniff sniff. But you are one rocking grandma to venture out like that.
I went to the last Harry Potter midnight showing and LOVED it!
I still haven't seen it, which is breaking my heart. Someday soon I hope. I love the shirt your sporting such a hip grandma!
I loved the books, and still am debating about the movie. I heard mixed reviews, but I love your description of the characters. You look so cute in your shirt, but then you always look great.
I haven't read the book or seen the movie, but everyone that has, has told me it's the BOMB (a good thing)
I agree with Aly! You look fantastic in that photo! I sure miss you! Love ya
Did I tell you I've been back to see it a second time? First time, it was okay, the second time I LOOOVVED it! You look really cute in your shirt, By the way!
Dang...maybe I could've stayed awake if they'd started my show at 10 instead of 1! You do look really cute!
You are dang cute in your "Edward" shirt! Me and Maddi went the friday after it opened (of course it was her second time after the midnight show) then we went again on Saturday and I enjoyed it more the second time. Pretty crazy huh!!
I have yet to see the movie, but I really want to. Maybe for my birthday I can convince Weston to go with me. I really enjoyed the books too.
Diane, You look sooooo pretty and happy!!! Whaty a fun idea that you even bought you a shirt!! ha ha ha
I believe that you have inspired me(Grandma) to go so perhaps I will have to hook up ;with Tina. Grandma usually goes to bed at 8:30 or 9:00 and wakes up many times (much to his dismay) around 4:30. THx for sharing. Much love to you!!
I didn't look at my comment before I sent it. It doesn't make sense, so I will re-write it. I meant that Grandpa usually goes to bed that early unless it is an emergency. Going to the movie is not an emergency, unless perhaps you think that it is. ha ha sounds like you are pretty hooked on it. heh heh
I am kind of in awe of your going to a midnight showing of the "Twilight" You look great in your shirt and a really cute grandma. Love ya
