80. Who's on first?

I wonder if Bella knew she was an adventurous person. When she jumps off the cliff in New Moon she was almost BASE jumping. According to Wikipedia, "BASE" is an acronym that stands for the four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump:
Building
Antenna
Span
Earth

All she needed was a parachute or wingsuit. Oh well, It would have been a very different story of Alice were to see a parachute.

So here we are! 80 DAYS TO GO!!! If you think of this way...we only have 8 sets of ten days to go! And thats exciting!!

Ok so Ive missed a few days so here we go!
Day 82's song was "Dreaming with a Broken Heart" by John Mayer. This song is for Jacob after Bella leaves to rescue Edward and he realizes that she may not becoming back. Its a great song about how a world is turned upside down and how you even dream with a broken heart. This is such a great solomn song. I love it!

Day 81's song is for Edward. Its a peppy song but I think it fits him because when he leaves Forks, he is on his own and hes not going to interfer with anyone. So his song is "Im on My Own" by Vincent Vincent and the Villians. This song was featured on the 17 Again Soundtrack but its a good song. Plus I wanted a song that was cool, and Edward is the coolest.

Day 80's song is for Jake again. It's kinda like a promise that he is making to Bella. The song is "Never Let You Down" by The Verve Pipe. Its all about new love and the feelings that come along with it and how he's liking her being around. And he will NEVER let her down...unlike a certain vampire, according to Jake! So hope you like!

81. These books are everywhere.

As of 2009, there have been over 70 million copies of the Twilight series sold, including translations. That's a lot of books.

Kim's 100 Days until New Moon Countdown

82. Kristen feels for Jacob.

In an interview with MTV, Kristen Stewart described a tough scene between she and Taylor Lautner. Here is an except.


MTV: He (Lautner) is very huggable. Tell us about one scene that you read either in Stephenie Meyer’s book or in Melissa Rosenberg’s screenplay that you were like, “Man, that’s going to be tough to pull off,” and tell us how you were able to figure it out.

Stewart: “New Moon” is riddled with all of that. I think it’s the one book in the series that I was intimidated by — in a good way. That’s the best feeling to start a movie with. But probably, my favorite line in the book is when I have to say to [Jacob], “It’s him; it’s always been him!” Like, I have to say that. Yeah, it killed me, it killed me.

MTV: It was a tough day to shoot?

Stewart: Yeah, and just like everything in our movie, it’s such a heightened version of reality. It’s like, people don’t just break up [in the "Twilight" films] — they break up and it literally kills you. It’s not like you just say, “Oh, I’m really depressed and crying.” Everything is supposed to be a fantasy version of that. So I always had a really hard time figuring out, “Am I doing enough? Do I look like I’m going to die?”

Today marks 83 Days until New Moon and the song for today is "Do what you have to do" by Sarah McLachlan. She is telling her lover that she understands that he has to what he has to do b/c he feels has turned into a monster of sorts. But she doesn't know how to let him go so she does what she has to do to help her yearning of being near him. It makes me think of Bella and that she understands how dangerous Edward and his family are but she still needs to be with him. Its a gorgeous song accompanied with lovely piano music and Sarah MacLachlan is an amazing singer. So I hope you all enjoy!

New Moon Music Countdown

Today's song is "Broken" by Lifehouse for Day 84! I'm loving this song for several reason. Lifeshouse is a good band and their songs are a pleasure to listen to. Another reason I picked this song is...Bella was not only broken by Edward leaving she was ripped to shreds down to her very core. She was broken beyond repair in her eyes. But yet she couldn't and WOULDN'T let Edward go. Not even when she was with Jacob. She was "barely breathing" and "barely holding on" because of her broken heart and everyone knew that because she was like "an open book". So enjoy the song and get excited for New Moon!!!! 84 Days!!!!

Kim's 100 Days until New Moon Countdown

84. I so wish I had a brother.

We know Bella is a lover of reading. Stephenie makes wonderful comparisons between her stories and classical literature. In chapter 16, Paris, Bella is talking making safe choices.

Bella- I remember wishing jacob was my brother. I realized now that all I really wanted was a claim on him. It didn't feel brotherly when he held me like this. It just felt nice--warm and comforting and familiar. Safe. Jacob was a safe harbor. I could stake a claim. I had that much within my power. I'd have to tell him everything, I knew that. It was the only way to be fair. I'd have to explain it right, to let him know I wasn't settling, that he was much too good for me. He already knew I was broken, that part wouldn't surprise him, but he'd need to know the extent of it. I knew he would take me in spite of it all. He wouldn't even pause to think about it. I would have to commit to this--commit as much of me as there was left, every one of the broken pieces.

Again, thanks to Stephenie for writing New Moon and Jada for transcribing it for me.

Tomorrow - How could she not see this coming.

Kim's 100 Days until New Moon Countdown

85. Oh the heartache!

We all know that Edward leaving Bella is the worst thing that happens to Bella in New Moon. But please realize that there are plenty mini-break up scenes. Bella breaks-up with Jacob several times over the course of three books. Here is an excerpt from New Moon, Chapter 9 where Bella realizes she is damaged goods and wants to distance herself fro Jacob.

Jacob- "Tell me something, you like me right? better than any of the other guys you know?"
Bella- "Better than the girls, too."
Jacob- "But that's all?"
Bella- "Yes."
Jacob- "That's okay you know, as long as you like me the best."
Bella- "I'm not going to change."
Jacob- "It's still the other one isn't it?. You don't have to talk about it. But don't get mad at me for hanging around, okay? Because I'm not giving up, I've got loads of time."
Bella- "You shouldn't waste your time on me."
Even though I wanted him too....especially if he was willing to accept me
the way I was--damaged goods, as is.
Jacob- "It's what I want to do, as long as you still like to be with me."
Bella- "I can't imagine how I could not like being with you."
Jacob- "I can live with that."
Bella- "Just don't expect more."

Thanks to Stephenie Meyer for writing such great dialog and thanks to Jada for transcribing it on her cell phone.

New Moon Music Countdown

DAY 85! Lets get down to business: Today's song is "Hold You in My Arms" by Ray LaMontagne. This is to me, a song that describes what Jacob would be saying to Bella. It's a gorgeous song that I can't enough of. Its all about taking care of someone becuase you love them. It's a simple song all about love. He just wants to take care of her and "hold her in his arms forever" because of how much he loves her.
So, I hope you enjoy the song as much as I did. Too-Da-Loo!

86. Who's on top?

According to Home Media Research, the Twilight has sold 5.6 million copies making it the top selling DVD of 2009. (March 31.) The DVD sold 3 million copies on the Saturday it was released. Who is in second place you might ask? Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.

New Moon Music Countdown

DAY 86! I am pleased to share that today's song is a new one for me as well! I have to admit, I have heard of this guy but never really listened to any of his stuff. Until I heard he was going to be on the New Moon Soundtrack. So here it is. Today's song is "The Wolves Act 1 and 2"-Bon Iver. While I don't know FOR SURE, what song of his is going to be on the soundtrack, I think this should be it. Its AMAZING. It talks about "wild wolves surrounding you" "figuring out clues" and "what might have been" . Just makes me think of the legend, Jake and Bella and how they COULD have had something. Im serious...just take a listen. Here is his myspace page, just in case I can't find it on blip.fm. I think you will like it! http://www.myspace.com/boniver

New Moon Music Countdown`

Day 88 and 87 till New Moon Countdown. So today you get a tasty treat and you will get TWO, you heard me TWO songs!

For Day 88, The song is a song that is by a lady who's voice could calm the seas.
"Here With Me" by Dido. This song is about how she doesn't want to do anything, or change anything because it might change a memory, and she can't even breathe until he is there with her. Its just a great song about how her life has stopped and won't be the same until he is there with her and she will be there for him when he comes back. Perfect for Edward and Bella. This is a favorite of mine for personal reasons. I hope you like!

Day 87 is a song that I am not real crazy about but as I listened to it, I thought of something.
"Thunder" by Boys Like Girls. In this song they talk about how "your voice is the soundtrack of my summer, unlike any other, you'll always be my thunder". Bella said the summer with Edward was the best the summer of her life. So I thought this was very fitting!

Kim's 100 Days until New Moon Countdown

87. Who is who? This coven uses different names than what they were born with. So here is a cheat sheet for the Cullens.

Carlisle Cullen
Edward Masen Cullen
Esme Anne Platt Evenson Cullen
Rosaline Lillian Hale
Emmett McMarty Cullen
Jasper Whitlock Hale
Mary Alice Brandon Cullen
Isabella Marie Swan Cullen

Kim's 100 Days until New Moon Countdown

88. What is that sweet smell?

We all know that the ladies swoon when Edward is around but is this a vampire thing or an Edward thing. According to SM, vampires smell good. I mean really good. Remember, they are trying to lure their prey. The better you smell the more prey.

Tomorrow - Help me get the names straight.

Kim's 100 Days until New Moon Countdown

89. I wanna be rich just like the Cullens. All I need is a future telling vampire and a brother and father who is good with money.

That's according to personal corraspondences between Stephenie Meyer and The folks at Twilight Lexicon. SM states that Carlisle received a nice start-up package from the Volturi and Edward, through a little legal maneuvering, was able to inherit money and property from his parents.

Tomorrow: What's that smell?

Kim's 100 Days until New Moon Countdown

90. What cause Jasper to become a vegetarian?

We all know Jasper was not "raised" a vegetarian and was able to distance himself from human experiences and emotions. Alice is the real reason that Jasper is a safer vampire. As SM states, "Alice is Jasper's life." Wouldn't you change your life for someone who you love? Jasper would do ANYTHING for Alice even if that means not killing humans. In all reality, while Edward and Bella's relationship is what everyone dreams about, I think Alice and Jasper's relationship is one that I want.

New Moon Music Countdown

OK, so I was almost a major fail today and didn't get to do the Song of the Day for DAY 89!!! Today's song is "I can't drive 55" by Van Halen.

So your probably thinking WHAT?! OK, this song is going out to my favorite character Alice Cullen! I thought of this when she is driving through Italy and she has the need for speed! I love it! That part makes ME want to drive all crazy and fast as hell! So, I hope you like it and find the humor in it like I did!

89 days guys...can you taste it!?

New Moon Music Countdown

Happy Friday 90 Days till New Moon!!!

Today's song comes from a suggestion from my sister, Cheryl. It's a great song and ties in PERFECTLY to New Moon. "My Immortal" by Evanescence. I think this song pretty much explains itself. Sadness, heartache, deep wounds, lose of true love, and the never easing of the memory of the one that left. Time can't even help them. Bella deals with all of this. The one who remains is the one who has to pick up the pieces and its absolute hell for that person. Anyone else have thoughts on this song?
So I hope you like! And check out the other stuff going on our page!

91 DAYS UNTIL NEW MOON! Just in case you didn't know!

Today's song is from Natasha Bedingfield and it is titled "Again". The song is about how everything is a mess, nothing is going right, and she's just in shambles. But she would do everything all over again, because it ultimately led her back to him. Which fits with New Moon because Bella was a wreck and barely surviving.
But she doesn't want to forget him, and therefor she would do it all over again for Edward because she loves him more than anything (as we all do), hence going to Italy and saving his sparkly butt!

Kim's 100 Days until New Moon Countdown

92. The infamous paper cut. Why would the tiniest drop of blood drive Jasper to try to kill Bella?

Jasper was "raised" to be a killing machine. As SM puts it, Jasper "he has consumed a lot of human blood." It is hard just to turn off the craving for your favorite and only food. He has tried very hard to change and maintain the vegetarian lifestyle. According to a personal corraspondance from SM to the Twilight Lexicon, "The Cullen lifestyle is like an almost incomprehensibly peaceful retirement for him."

Up next - Why would anyone want to be a vegetarian?

New Moon Music Countdown

Let me start by saying, as each day passes I become more and more frustrated that I can't pick just one song! This should be easy right!? WRONG! Today is number 92 on our countdown to New Moon and I wanted to mix it up. So I got on the web and was looking up songs that would fit New Moon. I came across a song from a former American Idol contestant. I wasn't a fan of his back then because I was a die hard Kelly Clarkson fan. But after hearing this, I do believe sports fans that my opinion has changed!
Today's song is "I can't live" by Justin Guarini. Now according to this YouTube site, which claims to be his, he wrote this song for New Moon. But in all honesty I don't give a shiz who wrote it cause I really like it! It's fantastical! The song talks about from Edwards POV and how her scent is still in his mind and her bloods still sings to him and that he can't live in a world where she doesn't exist. Overall, yeah I'm a fan of it now. So here's the link just in case I can't find it on blip.FM which is being a real smarty pants towards me today. Oh and it has some HOT pics of R-Pats and K-Stew in the video! ENJOY!

Kim's 100 Days until New Moon Countdown

92. What is Denali?

Denali, Alaska is really a national park more than anything else. It is about 6 hours away by car from Anchorage. Because of the vast wildlife and extream winter temperature, Denali is a great place for vampires to live and hunt.

Tomorrow - All this for a tiny paper cut?

New Moon Music Countdown

Well today I was having some trouble picking just ONE song for day 93! I was listening to my ipod and so many songs were coming at me that I wanted to post but just now this song played and I thought "winner winner chicken dinner!" It is a pick from Stephenie Meyer again but dang it-she's awesome at picking sweet tunes! So here we go!

"Almost Lover" by A Fine Frenzy. I first heard this song on her website and was amazed. The vocals are beautiful, and the lyrics are magical. It describes the parting of two people who are truly in love but they are only "almost lovers" and the one is feeling more hurt than the other. My favorite line in the song "I can not wake up in the morning without you on my mind, so you re gone and I'm haunted and I bet you are just fine." *Sigh* The anguish! The heartache! Can you feel it!?! I hope you are all feeling this song, as it fits well. Watch Twitter for the blip! : F

Kim's 100 Days until New Moon Countdown

93. What is a New Moon, anyway?

A new moon is the phase of the lunar phase where the moon is between the Sun and the Earth. This means the portion of the moon that is unilluminated (dark) faces to the Earth and the illuminated part faces the Sun. What we see then is the moon is almost impossible to see with the naked eye. It makes it one of the darkest nights in the lunar month.

What does this have to do with the book New Moon? The time when Edward left Bella was her darkest point in her life. Simple as that!

Tomorrow - I've never heard of Denali.

Taylor Compares Himself to Jacob

Taylor is head over heels for his role in New Moon.

New Moon Music Countdown

Only 94 more days!
Seems like forever, but we've come along way since 194 days!

Today's song of the day is straight from the creator of our obsession's website, the wonderful Mrs. Stephenie Meyer! She's a genius and I just love her musical taste!! She opened me up to Muse's magical music even more than I already knew of!
So today's song is going out to the wolf packs that we love so dearly!

"Wolf Like Me" by TV on the Radio. I barely knew of this band until I checked out Stephenie's play lists. It fit the wolves like a glove! I instantly loved it! My favorite line is "When the moon gets round and full gonna teach you things that will blow your mongrel mind". It just has JAKE JAKE JAKE all over it! It has a bad ass feel and I totally dig that! Because no matter what team you are, the wolves are awesome and a crucial part of the Twilight Universe. So today's song is dedicated to our big furry fierce protectors! Hope you like!

Kim's 100 Days until New Moon Countdown

94 . In Chapter 24, Vote, Edward stalks out of the room after the Cullans vote to make Bella a vampire. Bella then hears "an earsplitting crash" coming from the other room. According to Stephenie Meyer, Edward breaks a 60-inch flat screen TV shipped in from Korea. Bet you didn't know that!

Up next - New Moon. I don't get it.

Kim's 100 Days until New Moon Countdown

95. In New Moon, Lauren shows up with a short boy-like hair cut. Her hair was one of the things that, she felt, made her "special". What happened? Why would a self-proclaimed diva cut her crown and glory. In Stephenie's mind, Lauren was approached by a modeling scout who convinced Lauren that cutting her hair would give her an edge. She also paid $15,000 on pictures. Ha ha ha!


Tomorrow - Edward. The destructor?

New Moon Music Countdown

Well folks we have 95 Days till NEW MOON!! I swear each day I become more and more fangirlish! And you know what? I LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT!

Today we are going with a song that is from a personal favorite band. I first discovered this band when I was in college (GO KENT STATE!) and I have loved them ever since!

Today's song is "All I Need" by Radiohead. This song is fabulous! Seriously! It reminds me that Edward is all Bella needs and vice versa. Nothing else matters but they NEED each other. They are the air that they breath (or not in Edwards case) and the very reason for each others existance. I think it would fit because when they are together nothing else seems to matter, they are in their own world, and that is all they need. OhIm now blipping this on Twitter!

Ok, these are short and sweet but these are songs that remind me of New Moon and the characters. Hope you like! Check ya tomorrow!

Kim's 100 Days until New Moon Countdown

96. Since Twilight was originally a stand alone story, there were no plans for werewolves. People like to think there are "Easter Eggs" in Twilight hinting to the fact that Jacob is a werewolf. Stephenie Meyer says on her website, "There was no thought of werewolves in my mind as I wrote it. The dream Bella had of Jacob transforming into a wolf to protect her had no foreshadowing significance at the time." Sorry guys, Jacob's werewolf story is all New Moon based.

Up next - Is Lauren a dumb blonde or just gullible?

New Moon Music countdown

Hidy-Ho everyone!
Okie so today marks 96 days until we all absolutely go nuts-NEW MOON DAY! I think Pres. Obama should declare it a National Holiday-complete with closing banks and schools.

Ok so today I am going with a song that describes The Volturi. WHAT you say? YES the Volturi!

The song is "They" by Jem. The song reminds of me when Edward and Bella have the conversation about who the Volturi is. It asks "who are they? how do they know they know?" I just was listening it to the other day for the millionith time and it hit me HEY! this could describe the Volturi!
Yes Twilight has effected every aspect of my life! LOL! If you haven' t heard this song seriously take a listen. Jem is a fave of mine and this song is prob. my fave by her! Ok so be watching Twitter for the blip of "They" by Jem!
Ahhh another fantastical day until New Moon has risen and we all watch! = F

Kim's 100 Days to New Moon Countdown

97. In the original Twilight story, Stephenie Meyer, SM, says that Jacob was just a vehicle to telling Bella that Edward was a vampire. He was only on that one scene at the La Push Beach. He was determined to be a major character. SM's sister and others love his character. As SM was writing New Moon and editing Twilight at the same time, Jacob's character was screaming to do more, be more. He would be a minor character no more.

Tomorrow: Was Jacob always a werewolf?

New Moon Music Countdown

Captain's Log: Stardate August 14, 2009 97 DAYS UNTIL NEW MOON!

Today's musical choice is a song from a band that I absolutely love and they are from OH-IO, Columbus to be exact! But they rock none the less! So strap in and enjoy the ride!

OAR-Of A Revolution-are todays pick and the song is "If Only She Knew". This is an upbeat song, and I feel it is in reference to Jacob dealing with Bella NOT knowing what he is going through. But the song is upbeat and it poses the question "if only she knew, what would I do? I would run? etc." But it also at the same time is about him liking her and what he should do. I think this one fits, maybe not perfectly-but its damn close! LOL. I figured we needed a song that was peppy and this one is a good one to sing along with!

Anywho, check it out and let me know what you think! I know Lindsay is a fellow OAR lova! I hope you guys like! I'm posting it on Twitter..RIGHT NOW!

Kim's 100 Days to New Moon Countdown

98. To some, many of the female charcaters in the Twilight Saga seems like a week, frail and dependent, especially Bella. This is so not true. According to Stephenie Meyer (SM), if you really look at the females in the stories, they hold thier own. Look at Alice, she "sees" what she wants and goes for it. She can kick butt and apologizes to no one. Sm states that she is "not anti-female, I am anti-human. When a human being is totally surrounded by creatures with supernatural strength, speed, senses, and various other uncanny powers, he or she is not going to be able to hold his or her own. Sorry. That's just the way it is. We can't all be slayers. Bella does pretty well I think, all things considered. She saves Edward, after all."

Amen Stephenie!

Tomorrow: How big of a role did Jacob plan in the original Twilight plan?

New Moon Music Countdown!

Lookie lookie! We are now at 98 Days!!! WHO'S EXCITED!?

Ok, first I just want to say to my sisters-YOU ARE ROCKING THIS COUNTDOWN!
I LOVE IT!

Today's song is "Be My Escape" by Reliant K.

This song is all about Bella and Jacob. If New Moon were a musical I think this song would be what would play as and Jacob become close. She has this HUGE void that is left when Edward leaves and she has found Jacob who seems to ease that pain and suffering she has been enduring.

When she is with Jake she is escaping that pain and she feels human and whole. Not the shell of a person that had been for the previous months. Jacob has helped heal that wound that Edward left and she NEEDS Jacob to keep healing.

Ok, that was short but oh so sweet! I hope it was as good for you as it was for me! Until tomorrow....in the words of Porky Pig...THATS ALL FOLKS!

Kim's 100 Days to New Moon Countdown

99. New Moon was not the first sequel to Twilight.

According to Stephenie Meyer's website, Twilight had a more defined ending. She then wrote a three part 100 page epilogue. Not tiring of the Bella and Edward story, she turned these epilogues into Forever Dawn. Once she received word that Twilight was going to be published, Stephenie needed the sequel to be more YA friendly. She finished Forever Dawn, gave it to her sister, and began writing a proper sequel. That sequel is NEW MOON.

Tomorrow - Is Bella as weak as she appears in the series and especially New Moon.

New Moon Music Coutdown!

WOO-HOO!!! 99 DAYS TILL NEW MOON! We are finally in double digits! I feel like a Pointer Sister! {singing} IM SO EXCITED!

So continuing with the countdowns me and my sisters have going on, here is Day 99's song of the day!

"Together Forever" by Hana Pestle. (I kid you not this song randomly started playing on my ipod when I started today's entry. I take that as an omen!) This song is without a doubt a just one of the many songs that can be describing Bella and Edward. This one channels their undieing love and need to be together forever, no matter the cost. They are not complete without the other one and they NEED to be together and nothing else matters.

I have blipped this song several times so if you follow me on Twitter you may have heard it. If not, Hana Pestle is on myspace at www.myspace.com/hanatunes. She also is on Facebook so just search for her. Her song "Need" she actually wrote for New Moon and is trying to get it on the soundtrack, she is a big fan of the Twilight Saga too! Its also a fabulous song and describes Bellas need for Edward. Sort of sad, but New Moon is sort of sad. Hope you check out this song, and stay tuned to our countdowns! I believe tomorrow we are going to hear a tune courtesy of my sisters! Until we meet again....

100 Days to New Moon - Facts about The Twilight Saga

Hello all you Twilight lovers! We are finally within 100 days until the premiere of New Moon. People are finding their own ways to mark this milestone. My sister, Kalli, is doing some celebrating by providing quotes and songs. I am planning on giving a fact a day about the book, movie, Stephenie, and/or Twilight universe as I celebrate the most anticipated movie on 2009.

So sit back and enjoy. (Feel free to add suggestions in the comments section.)


100. Stephenie Meyer did not initially plan on writing any sequels to Twilight. As we know, Twilight came to Stephenie as a dream. She turned her dream into a book that she gave to her sister to read. Her sister convinced her to send the manuscript to publishing houses. Twilight, Stehenie's dream, was first published by Little, Brown, and Company in 2005.


Tomorrow's fact - Was New Moon the first sequel to Twilight?

100 Days till New Moon!

Hey everyone!
Ok in honor of the countdown of 100 Days until New Moon-I have decided to do a "Song of the Day". Each day I will post a song and brief description of what book it is from, what character (s), and why this song fits. So without further ado-lets jam!

Day 100 Song: (Drum roll please)-"Do You Realize?" by The Flaming Lips!
This song was featured on the New Moon play list on Stephenie Meyer's website. I love the Flaming Lips before this due to "Tangerine" and "Yoshima battles the Robots" (Great songs BTW). So when I saw this song featured I was thrilled! This song is in reference, and this is just my opinion, to Bella from Edward.
Bella always felt that it never made sense for Edward to love her. He wants her to realize that she is so much more that what she thinks. She has opened his eyes ad heart to things he never thought were possible! She has made him more human and not a monster. He has felt love for the first time in years, he risked revealing what his family really is by saving her life because he couldn't bear her to be killed. He thirsts for her blood more than he anything he has ever known, and yet he loves her enough to fight that urge every moment he is near her. HER existence, is the reason for HIS existence. He loves her to the moon and back! (OK, yeah a little cheesy but I love that saying). So, dear Bella-DO you realize!? OK, that's the music "note" for today! Tune in tomorrow for another song! Hope you like!

All the Deails You Need About Kalli's 100 Days of New Moon

Ok friends...get ready...100 Days of New Moon starts TOMORROW!!

"But Kalli," you ask, "Isn't today 100 days until New Moon?!?"

Yes...according to the countdown widget it is...but the widget will have 0 Days, x Hours, x Minutes on November 19th...and I don't know about you...but I don't think I could handle that day without one last New Moon quote.

So, my 100 Days will start tomorrow and end with #100 on November 19th...to get us all ready for the BIG SHOW that night!! Squeeeeee!!!!

Here are the Specifics of My Countdown...

1. Each day, starting tomorrow, I will post a key phrase/sentence from New Moon.
2. I will be working chronologically through the book...not in order of importance. Trust me when I say that it was absolutely painful to narrow down my quotes to just 100...it would have been impossible to rank them in order of importance or my favorites. My goal was to pick out 100 quotes that highlight the key moments in the book.
3. I will tweet my New Moon quote at noon each day, but I will also update my countdown here on the blog everyday to compile a running list.
4. I will also put the page number of the quote here on the blog so that if you don't remember that part of the book or aren't sure what it's referring to...you can quickly find the page and give yourself a refresher.
5. Because I was focused on the 100 quotes that tell the story of New Moon...I had to drop a lot of my favorites. If a quote just made me laugh, but wasn't critical to the plot...it had to go. *tear* But it was too hard to part with a lot of these completely...so, I decided that...
6. When we get to the last 10 days before New Moon...I will start on my New Moon Top 40...the 40 book quotes that I want to see most in the movie. I would love to hear from all of you...so let me know in the comments/on Twitter/by email which quotes are your MUST HAVES for the movie!!

So check back tomorrow for quote number one...and get ready for 100 Days of New Moon!

Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore.And there was no more reason for anything.”-Edward

A Twilight Newborn

Well, here it is, my first blog! I know I said it was gonna be about my trip to Forks, and I will still blog about that, but this was too funny not to tell!

Last night, my best friend Jessica, her husband Tony and their daughter came over. We were trying to find something to do, and Jessica suggested that we watch Twilight becuase Tony had yet to see it. Jessica has read the books and seen the movie a few times, but Tony really only had "bare bones" knowledge of what Twilight was even about. So, that's what we did, and let's just say Jessica and I were both surprised by his reaction to the movie!

He was into the movie from the very beginning. He asked a few questions cause he didn't understand a few things at the very beginning, but after that if we attempted to speak, we were "shushed" LOL. he was very intrigued by the first scene in Biology class,and it didn't take him long to figure out Bella "smelled good" to Edward and he noticed the change in eye color right away! When we got to the scene where Edward rescued Bella in Port Angeles, he was like "man I want that car so I can drive like that". He was totally loving the movie, but all through it he kept asking, "Why doesn't he make her a vampire. If I loved someone like that, I would want to be with them forever", so we had to give him a little background on that, LOL.

The best part of this whole experience was after the movie. As soon as it was done, he said "Oh man, there has to be another one!" We then told him about New Moon, and showed him the trailer. At the part when Edward says "This is the last time you will ever see me", his jaw dropped and he said "Noooooooo!" He looked like he was ready to crawl up in the fetal position and cry (just like Bella)! At this point Jess and I were practically on the floor laughing because we so were not expecting that reaction from him. he watched the rest of the trailer and then asked to see it again, saying " he can't leave her!" After watching it the second time, he looked at us and said "When does this come out? We're going to the midnight showing, right?" LOL

He proceeded to watch the trailer a few more times before they left and at one point, this was the conversation between him and jessica Tony: honey, can I get a red truck like Bella's? Jessica: Well, why don't we start you out with a Twilight keychain or something first. LOL!

Jessica told me today that he told her that he probably wouldn't be a "fanatic like Cheryl", but he could understand why people liked it so much, because he was already wanting to watch it again! She said she's betting he'll be watching it when she comes home from work tomorrow night!

And that is the story of how another Twilight fan was born!

Yum!

New Moon Graphic

I've been in a Jacob mood here lately!! Hahaha I guess with everything New Moon! This graphic contains 2 amazing quotes. How much Bella needed Jacob during her "dark period".

Movie Quotes on the Official NM Website?!?

OHMYGOSH!!!

Today is finally August (another month down) and only 110 days left till New Moon! And...as if things just couldn't get better...Summit is finally starting to release more info! Yipee!!

As your resident quote-aholic...I would like to take a few minutes of your time to talk about the feature on the official New Moon website that really gives me the chills...character quotes! If you look around on both the movie page and "World of Twilight" page, you can find quotes from most of the major characters.

When I first saw some of them...my initial reaction was that they were probably from the book...until I read Carlisle's quote and realized (because I'm a total quote-nerd) that it was not the same as the book. I should also admit at this point that I totally squealed when I realized that this meant it was probably a MOVIE quote!!! So, I decided to do some investigation and discuss what we can learn from the quotes that Summit has so generously given us! Let's do this in a few groups:

Human:

• Bella - “It never made sense for you to love me. I always knew that." This is a direct book quote. It comes from her conversation with Edward after they return from Italy. As with the other book quotes that are used on the site - I'm hoping this means that the movie will be using quite a few lines directly from the book.

Werewolves:

• Jacob - “I’m so sorry that I can’t be the right kind of monster for you, Bella.” This is also straight from the book...and let me just say that I am seriously hoping this line is in the movie - it's a great one!!
• Sam - “Jake’s right. You are good with weird.” Ok...so here we find our first difference. I've looked several times through the scenes that follow Bella meeting the pack for the first time, and I'm pretty sure that no one says this. However, in the book, Jake tells Bella: “You’re also very good with weird.” So...my guess is they have just transferred this idea to Sam to give him more lines...and that's cool by me!
• Embry - “Well, the wolf’s out of the bag now.” Direct quote - and another great one that I would be pleased as punch to see in the movie!!
• Paul - “I’m sure the leech-lover is just dying to help us out!” Quote straight from Stephanie Meyer's super creative head!!
• Jared - “The chick runs with vampires.” In the book, poor Jared really doesn't say a lot. Actually, in New Moon, Embry is the one who says "she runs with vampires." But again - totally true to the spirit of the book...so I'm down!!

Cullens:

• Edward - “What choice have I? I cannot be with you, but I will not destroy your soul.” This is a direct quote, and one I really love because he sounds so turn of the twentieth century when he says this. It sounds like something you would hear in Anne of Green Gables!!
• Carlisle - “Imagine the situation in reverse. If you believed you would be destroying Edward’s soul…would you do it?” So this is the one that clued me in to the possibility of some movie quotes! In the book he says: “If you believed as he did. Could you take away his soul?” Really...not that much of a difference. It works for me!
• Esme - “I already think of you as part of the family.” As a quote-aholic...I will be the teensiest bit OCD here and point out that in the book she says: "...part of my family." Not that this difference really causes me stress...I just want to be accurate here! :)
  
• Alice - “How strongly are you opposed to grand theft auto?” Hallelujah!!! As we are all well aware...this is a quote from the book. I'm just hoping this means that this quote will be in the movie!! Squeeee!!!
• Rosalie - “I wish there had been someone there to vote no for me.” This is definitely straight from the book, and I'm really hoping that this one makes it into the movie - because it's our first real clue that Rose isn't totally mean and has a heart...she's just still dealing with her troubled past.
• Jasper - “It’ll be a relief not to want to kill you.” So if the Carlisle quote hadn't made me notice the book/movie difference...this one would really have caught my attention. It definitely is not in the book. My guess is that this will be in the voting scene. In the book he just says “yes,” when he votes, but I'm glad Jasper will get more than that short answer after all the birthday mess at the beginning.
• Emmett - “The hell you will. I’m not missing another fight.” This one is also not in the book at all. Again, I think this will be in the voting scene. In the book he just has two lines here. First: “Excellent plan, my brother” when Edward suggests hiding Bella from the Volturi and fighting anyone who comes after them. Then second: “Hell, yes! We can find some other way to pick a fight with this Demetri” when he votes. So, my guess is that this quote has something to do with one of those two conversations.

Bad Vamps:

• Laurent - “You’re very lucky I was the one to find you.” This one comes straight from the book!
• Victoria - “No one can hide like me.” Seeing that there even was a Victoria quote on the site got me really excited, because she doesn't have any lines at all in the book. So we can pretty much say for sure that this is a movie quote. We know they are adding scenes to the movie that tell what she is up to the whole time, so my guess is that this quote might be from a planning session she has with Laurent about how to find and kill Bella. But that's just a guess. I could be completely wrong since they have pretty much made Victoria's stuff up for the movie...and I'm excited to see those scenes!!

Volturi:

• Aro - “I love a happy ending. They are so rare.” This is another direct quote from the book...and I can't wait to see this one in the movie too - so sarcastic, so evil!!
• Caius - “We do not offer second chances.” Again...straight from the book!
• Marcus - “You already know what you’ll do, Aro.” So...I went back and checked and I'm pretty sure that Marcus doesn't have any lines in the book. He goes over to Aro to show his brother his assessment of Edward and Bella's relationship...but he doesn't speak aloud. So...I guess that this line could either be from the big Volturi scene at the end or from one of the flashbacks the movie has made up about Carlisle's time with the Volturi.
• Alec - “They send you out for one and you bring back two and a half. Such a clever girl.” This is pretty true to the book. The only difference is that in the book he says "Nice work" instead of "Such a clever girl." Still...man...I bet there will be an evil tone to that line!!!
• Jane - “This may hurt just a little.” Ok...so this quote got me all kinds of excited!! In the book, Jane doesn't talk much...mainly she just smiles that evil little smile of hers. So...I am really hoping that this means she will get this creepy line in the movie!!

What do you think? What else can we learn from these quotes? And how excited is everyone to see New Moon in 110 DAYS!!!!!!
