i'm a TwiBetween

and it's official! i have been added to twibetween.com's "meet a twibetween" ~ and i'm so freaking happy right now!

i decided to add the interview here as well (for prosterity's sake), but you should check it out over there because... well, it's cooler!
_________________________________________________

Age? 32

Married? Kids? married for 5 years (together for 12), no kids

Declare yourself! Team Edward, Team Jacob or Switzerland? i am 100% team edward. i love him. always have, always will. but i adore jacob too.

When/how did your Twilight obsession begin? i’m just nearing my one year anniversary. i came very late to the party. i was against it on principle, without knowing anything about it, due to it’s popularity and teen-magnetism. one day last august, out of boredom, i watched twilight. then new moon. then eclipse. all in one sitting. then as soon as they were over, all three again immediately. then got all four books (4.5 if you count midnight sun) the next day and read them in three days. and it just kept going from there. (i blogged the long extended answer to this question here)

What is your favorite Twilight Quote? so many, but off the top of my head~ “i’m tired of trying to stay away from you, bella.” & “can you [forgive me]? i hope you can because i honestly don’t know how to live without you.”

What scene/line from the books that you love was missing from the movies? i wish i could see the ENTIRE plot lines of all the books come to life but i understand some just don’t translate well or slow down the momentum of the movies but i would have liked to have the conversation in the car on the way back from port angeles the way it was in the book. and the reconciliation/realization of bella and edward after they returned to forks rather than before she meets the volturi. i was also looking forward to seeing jacob try to imprint at the park. and there was no mention of “puppies” in part 1!

Who is your favorite non-holy twinity (minor) character? i really love charlie, alice, and angela but i think my favourite is emmett.

Which is your favorite Twilight movie? omg, i can’t choose! i love them all for very different reasons. the freshness/innocence/sense-of-discovery in twilight, the heartbreak and angst in new moon, the love triangle and the visual beauty of eclipse, the epic-ness of breaking dawn part 1.

Which is your favorite Edward, Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse or Breaking Dawn? again, can’t choose. i am so all about edward. if i HAD to pick, probably eclipse. i love how he overcomes his jealousy and would do anything just as long as bella is happy. and rob is so pretty in that movie!

Review Breaking Dawn Part 1 in 5 words or less: can’t wait for part 2!

Renesmee- B.S. or creative name? i don’t mind it. it’s interesting. and like stephenie meyer said, it’s a name for a character in a book, not a real person.

What is your favorite Soundtrack overall? oh gawd, with the choosing! maybe new moon? there are songs i love and songs i could do without on each one but i listen to them all and the scores regularly (like right now, as i write this).

What is your favorite song from a Twilight soundtrack? very hard question to answer. the songs i love, i REALLY love. i adore any and all muse. i love turning page, flightless bird, my love, shooting the moon, possibility, eyes on fire, and spotlight. but i’m going to have to go with never think and let me sign. rob’s voice does things to me…

Ideal vacay? Trip to Forks, Rob/Kristen set stalking, Brit Pack concert in LA, or a non-Twi premiere? set stalking! preferably to whatever rob is allegedly writing for himself and kristen. how awesome would that be?!


Are you going to the Breaking Dawn 2 Premiere? i wish…
L i would give a lung, a kidney, and half my liver to go! but no one i know would come with me and it’s not something you can really do alone. …or can i?!

Do you have a favorite fan fic you're reading right now? i don’t read too much fanfic… the only ones i’ve read have been either continuation stories or epov’s. i like to stick to the world stephenie created. although, i love 50 shades, so maybe I should…  i wrote a little 1000-word scene that is up on my fanfiction.net account (new moon ~ what if) and maybe one day i’ll add the post-breaking dawn story i’m working on.

What is your favorite Non-Twilight film of a Twilight star? they are such great actors… cosmopolis was great. i really liked welcome to the rileys and swath. push was also cool too. but i’m a sucker for the romance. i loved remember me.  i can’t wait to see bel ami and on the road though.

Do you have a TwiBestie?  
L no one i know is really into twilight. i’m currently accepting applications for the position! looking for my TWIn.

What is your favorite Twilight memory? going to see bdp1 on opening night with my husband. although he doesn’t like my obsession (i think he’s secretly jealous of a fictious character and the actor who portrays him), he’s pretty supportive.

Anything else you want us to know about you? although i seem very outgoing, i’m pretty shy and often don’t initiate conversations but i love talking about twilight and listening to other people’s take as well. come say hi to me on twitter (kmuffin88) or leave a comment on my blog (please).

it's my twiliversary!

today marks the one year anniversary of the day i fell into the twilight universe. only a year?! ikr! yes, i was a (very) late-comer.
(if you're interested in THAT story, read it here.)

i was thinking back to my original thoughts on the movies and the books and was going to write about that. but it's really boring. even to me. so~ scrap that.

i don't have too much to say (why do i even have a blog?) but i wanted to put something down to commemorate the occaison. i'll just share my gratitude for the entire experience.

thank you to stephenie meyer for having that dream and deciding to share it with the world.
thank you to catherine hardwicke, chris weitz, david slade, and (especially) bill condon for bringing that world to life.
thank you to robert pattinson, kristen stewart, taylor lautner and the rest of the cast for portraying our beloved characters so wonderfully.
thank you to twilight in general ~ it has resparked my interest in reading, watching movies, and listening to music beyond the franchise itself. twilight has brought me back to life.
and thank you to the fandom. although my entrance into this world is still brand new, i can finally talk about something i'm interested in with like-minded people and you've all been welcoming and overwhelmingly kind. i already love you. *smooch*

it's been a good 24 hours

i haven't posted anything since the fiasco. now seems to be the time.

he's alive! he smiles! i can breathe again~

rob's appearance last night with jon stewart on the daily show, followed by the ny cosmopolis premiere. then this morning's bell ringing at nyse and the multitude of pictures that resulted from a 8 second walk from indoors to a car.

he was looking sooooooo good. from gucci suits to casual jeans and a t-shirt, that man can pull of anything.

these are my personal favourites. enjoy...
