New Moon Rocked My World

If you have not been to see New Moon yet, go now... Seriously, go. I'll wait 'til you get back. Tick tock... tick tock.... tick tock... Ok, soooo? How was it? Did you like it?

I have to tell y'all something. And know that I have struggled with this all weekend, but I've got to get it off my chest. I saw the movie... 3 times since its release. And I'm not talking 3 times over the course of 3-4 days. I saw it at 8pm Thursday night at a special screening that I was priveleged enough to be a part of, and then I didn't see it again until yesterday. I'll let you do the math... yep, I saw it twice, yesterday. Two movies in a row. I have issues, I told you.

So, on Thursday night, Jessica picked me up, we swung by and grabbed Auri and headed down to The Gateway. The plan was to do dinner at Z Tejas and then line up for the movie. Imagine my anxiety when I thought the movie started at 7 and I found out it started at 8! Auri, Jessica, Odum, and myself were joined by Callie, Brittany, Dara, Kellie, and a few others I can't remember for an awesome dinner and a few drinks. Seriously, the pina coladas at Z Tejas are to die for!

Inside the theater we lined up and waited... and waited... and waited... forever. I could not believe the people we saw who were dressed up. I thought I had issues, but I'm resting assured that I'm 100% completely normal compared to some of them. There were a few really young girls in their frilly dresses which was fine. But then there were grown women with awfully horrible wigs on, and glitter all over their faces, and fake blood drawn dripping from their lips. It wasn't even fake blood, it was just a red pencil drawn (with no talent, I might add) to look like a drip of blood.

I also saw two women (who were actually really pretty) who were dressed up in almost-goth garb. They both had on these really cool long coats that were laced like a corset all the way up the back, and their hair was meticulous, and they had fangs. Yes, fangs. And for some reason, it didn't strike me that these were of the faux persuasion. I think these women were in it for reals. I don't know why, I just do.

Apparently there were some people there dressed up like werewolves... I apparently missed them, but I would have loved to get a look of the crazy. Seriously, I don't understand what goes through people's heads. I understand dressing up and getting into character, but Good Lord people, go big or go home. All this half-assed stuff just isn't going to cut it! If you're going to do it, do it well, or don't do it at all!

The resf of us nut-jobs were there with our Twilight-esque sweatshirts and t-shirts on. The one I was going to wear ("I left my heart in the meadow") was dirty, so I went witht the "Isle Esme" one instead. I'm sure I'll be getting a few others for the Eclipse premiere. Yes, I'm already looking forward to it!

So as far as the movie went, I loved it... obviously, if I saw it three times this weekend. And everyone has asked me which one I like better... There's a difficulty in deciding only because Twilight and New Moon are two totally different movies. From the basic storyline itself, to the actual movie (all the special effects, the CGI wolves, big-budget vs. small-budget) they're completely different. Honestly, I like them both for different reasons, but if you're going to force me to decide, I'm going with Twilight. I love New Moon, for reals, and I cannot believe how it ended. That's all I'm saying... no spoilers here, people!So, we only have 7 months and 7 days until Eclipse comes out. Yes, I realize it's sad I'm counting down, but hello... did you see the end of the movie? How can I not be excited? And yeah, I know that we all know what's going to happen... duh... we've all read the books, but that doesn't make it any less exciting to see it on screen.

If you have any inkling to see the movie, go see it, if only for the eye candy. Hello Jacob! I may be tempted to switch teams for a while because, Damn, that boy is HOTTT!!!
