Forget news posts- I’m feeling a bit nostalgic and need to share…
My obsession with these four glossy black books known as the Twilight saga began around October of 2008. It seems so long ago now, that the anticipation for the first movie drove me and fellow Twilighters wild. We had custom shirts made. We squealed. We talked Twilight shop non-stop. To this day, I can infuse Twilight lingo into any average conversation.
In 2009, my world changed. What started as a simple outlet to vent, spread news, and oscillate between real-world obligations and an alternate reality exploded.
What would have been a pipe dream months ago, the absolute fortune to interview entertainment figures, has now become a part of my reality. Real world and alternate reality have collided.
Among the faces:
Kellan Lutz- part one and part two
Oliver Irving, director, How to Be
Hurricane Bells (New Moon soundtrack)
Blue Foundation (Twilight soundtrack)
The makers of Bella’s cake (shame for the deleted scene that showcases this gorgeous cake)
This year has had me spun up, but as we enter a new decade, I find myself in a new place. My top isn’t spinning as voraciously; instead, as a seasoned Twilighter, I can navigate my worlds much more clearly.
The anticipation of New Moon had me combing, scouring every bit of information on the net about what was to come. Spoilers meant nothing to me; they only provided an added tinge of excitement before I took the plunge and immersed myself into any new tidbits Summit had to offer.
I’m considering a New Year’s resolution– staying spoiler-free until the release of Eclipse. Is it possible to blog for four Twilight outlets, including the information overload of Twitter and remain an Eclipse virgin? My brain was on Twilight overload 2 weeks before the release of New Moon, and I had to take a break. Will I find the opposite effect occur should I abstain for a six month duration?
Only one picture has been released of Eclipse thus far, and aside from Edward’s drooping bouffant, it could be an image from any of the three movies; it hardly counts as a spoiler. So this is the time to make a resolution… a pinky swear, of sorts.
Anyone else willing to take the plunge?
