It's here. The day that so many have been waiting for! So, who went to see it at midnight?? Katie and I are having a field trip to see it at 10 am. I can count that as school work right? A literature class? Film class? Psychology?
Who will be this week's Weekend Winner?? Today is the last day to enter my Twilight give-away. I know that ya'll have marked off the place in your bedroom to put the poster. Found the perfect spot for your new calendar. And arranged for some "me" time to shop. Read. And eat Godiva chocolate. The winner will be announced tomorrow - along with a whole new set of prizes as we move to week four of the extravaganza.
And I so appreciate the continued indulgences in being guest inquisitors! The queue is still open if you are interested! We've had questions from Debbie at Finding Normal. From Rhea at Texas Word Tangle. From Jennifer P at The Peterson's Go Public. And who should ask the Friday Follies - on this particular Friday? It is the ultimate fan girl herself - Lula!
I first met Lula through Debbie - at This is the Life. Where I seem to meet so many of the friends who live inside my computer. Lula came out of lurking on her site. And can ya'll imagine? Lula. Lurking? And Lula and I. Well, I think it was kismet. We had an instant connection. Over LOST. All things Georgia. Having two little girls. Our love of reading. And most especially peanut m&ms. So...let's see what Lula has for us today:
It’s the day we Twilight-lovers have waited for…Edward and Bella, on the big screen! Be still my beating heart. Let’s roll with some Twilight Friday Follies love…and for those of you who haven’t yet read these books (and why not, may I ask?), I will throw in a few non-Twilighty questions. Because I love y’all that much.
Let’s just get this one out of the way:
Team Edward or Team Jacob?
Favorite Cullen?
Would you rather control emotions, see the future, or read minds?
If you had to choose, would you rather go on a date with Tyler, Eric, or Mike?
Shiny silver Volvo or an antique truck?
Who were you more like in high school? Bella, Angela, or Jessica?
Which appeals more to you? Forks or Arizona?
With whom would you rather hunt? Edward, Emmett, or Alice? OR...James, Laurent, or Victoria?
And since Edward and Bella are the love story for our generation, I'm gonna ask a few love questions...in honor of them:
Favorite love story, fiction:
Favorite love story, non-fiction:
If you could be in love during any period of time, which era would you choose?
Favorite big screen romance:
Favorite TV romance:
Favorite song about love:
Theme song: "Closer," by Kings of Leon. It's the one song I would've put on the soundtrack, were I given the opportunity. It's a sexy song...but also full of angst...longing...frustration...and desperate love. In my head I always hear it playing in the scene where Edward saves Bella from the dudes in Port Angeles...

Yay! I'm the first to post today! No, I'm not up this late because I've been out to see Edward and Bella (I wish!). You're so lucky you get to go tomorrow! I have to wait til Saturday or Sunday. wah! Have you heard the Twilight soundtrack??? Even Edward sings a little, and I LOVE Bella's lullaby.
Okay, onto the questions.
Team Edward, of course. I was absolutely shattered at the end of book3 with her little scene with Jacob.
I know I should say that Edward is my favorite Cullen, and after reading what Meyer has of Midnight Sun on her website I love her and her character even more, but with all that aside I really love Alice.
I think I'd like to see the future, and use that to know winning lottery numbers. ;p
Can I have the antique truck but with the volvo's shiny engine?
Gosh, I think I'd pick Phoenix but then the Pacific Northwest does sound nice, and maybe there'll be some nice vampires for my kids to play with.
I was more like Bella, I think.
I think it'd be fun to hunt with Alice.
You're actually asking NON Twilight questions? Okay, Okay...
Of course my favorite love story fiction is Twilight. Hubby just doesn't get it, he couldn't get past Bella's whining to make it far enough to understand.
Favorite love story, non fiction...my parents.
Favorite big screen romance, right now is Sophie and Howl from Howl's Moving Castle, but I'm really hoping I love Twilight better (we'll see after I actually see it). Favorite TV romance would have to be all those years of Buffy and Angel/Spike.
Favorite love song is LoveSong by the Cure, and then Dream A Little Dream of Me by the Mamas and the Papas.
Team Edward, so far. (I've only read Twilight, so that could change)
So far, Edward is my favorite Cullen, but I want to know more about the rest of the clan.
I'd rather see the future.
Mike, I guess.
Shiny silver Volvo
Bella. I was skinny and physically awkward, and the worst athlete in the world.
Arizona. I can't stand too much rain.
With whom would you rather hunt? Edward
Favorite love story, fiction: Pride & Prejudice
Favorite love story, non-fiction:
If you could be in love during any period of time, which era would you choose? The 80s!
Favorite big screen romance:
Lost in Translation
Favorite TV romance:
Bromance:Denny Crane & Alan Shore on Boston Legal
Heteromance: Maddy & David, pre-kiss, on Moonlighting.
Favorite song about love:
Endless Love
I forgot non-fiction, because I'm having trouble with it. Posh & Becks? Angelina & Brad?
My tickets are for 10:45am on Friday morning!!! I'm going to the movies while my kids are in school. I sounds kind of scandolous to me!
Okay, here we go Lula:
Do I have to pick a team? I like them both. Really. But I guess if I had to pick, Jac........no. Edward.
The good Dr. I just love his presence.
read minds.
Mike. He seemed normal.
Shiny Volvo
Angela
Arizona. Although Forks is gorgeous. It just rains to much here in the PNW.
definitely Edward, Emmett and Alice
Scarlett & Rhett
My own
The roaring 20's....it seems so liberating
Sam Baldwin (Tom Hanks) & Annie Reed (Meg Ryan) in Sleepless in Seattle
Heathcliff and Claire Huxtible (The Cosby Show) they were so much in love, and always showed it!
Glenn Meideiros "Nothings gonna change my love for you"
Yep, he was a one hit wonder, but I used to sing that song at the top of my lungs when I was in 8th grade
*Team Edward
*Alice is my fav
*Read minds - I'm nosy
*Eric

I haven't read them, but my husband has, and from his descriptions I'd pick Jacob, but would be allergic to him, so would end up with Edward.
Favorite Cullen?
Um, crazy Aunt Geraldine.
See the future (selectively).
Tyler
Volvo
I've been to Forks. We played them in basketball in HS. So, Forks.
Favorite love story, fiction:

I'd choose Now
Somewhere in Time
I'm addicted to Gray's
Somebody, Depeche Mode
Oh, man! I forgot to read the summer eading list. Can I have an extension?
Um. I've never read Twilight. *shame spiral* But i promise to buy the books when i get back to the States!!
So many questions--
I'm Team Switzerland. Yea really. Alice is hands down my favorite Cullen. I'd rather control emotions like Jasper. I can't choose one of those guys, COME ON. If you forced me to it would be Mike; he's sweetest. I'd go with an antique truck, especially since I was MUCH like Bella in High School. I would be a Forks gal and I'd hunt with the Cullens of course!
I can't answer any of the other questions because I have way too many favorites. Seriously.
Sigh. I have to wait til Sunday to go see Twilight.
We are off to see it this afternoon. Poor Mac has to wait till after my class. I even flirted with going last night, but I'm just too old to be up till 3 am and then go to jewelry class the next day. No sleep and playing with fire don't mix.
Oh, and I already have a Volvo (though not silver), so I'm half way there. :-)
I saw it last night at midnight with my daughter...got home at 3AM...just put my boys on the bus and I am going BACK to sleep!!!
*Team Edward..can't stand Jacob...almost ruined book #3 for me.
*Edward, Carlisle, Alice
*See the future
*MIke
*Shiny silver Volvo
*Bella
*AZ...I used to live in Seattle...I KNOW how much it really rains there!!! A LOT!

Hope you like the movie!!! I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks.
Team Edward or Team Jacob? EDWARD
Favorite Cullen? Emmett (he reminds me of my husband)
Would you rather control emotions, see the future, or read minds? Read minds - that would be fun, I think

Angela
Which appeals more to you? Forks or Arizona? Forks, Arizona is hot...
With whom would you rather hunt? Edward, Emmett, or Alice? OR...James, Laurent, or Victoria? I think Edward; he'd keep me safe and be really patient

IDK - I'm stuck on this one...as if I don't watch TV. Yeah. Right.
Don't Take the Girl - Tim McGraw; it's not your everyday love song but by the end you know he loves this girl
HOLY COW!!! I just noticed I am the #1 stalker, ummmm I mean commenter!
Hell yeah! I'm #1, it's Friday, Twilight premieres today - can it get any better than this?!
Team Edward, fer sure.
Alice, hands down.
Hmmm, don't think I want any of those talents.
None of the above. I've never been much of a dater.
Volvo. I have a truck. It's hard to drive.
Bella ... except the boys weren't interested in me. ;-)
Either - I think I'd like both places.
No hunting. I'm such a picky eater. I'd probably starve.
Favorite love story fiction: perhaps Anne of Green Gables * Gilbert.
non-fiction: perhaps my own :-)
Era?: Now is good.
Movie Romance: don't have one.
TV: ditto.
Song: ditto.
Here's my own little answers for y'all:
TEAM EDWARD. Forever. Amen.
My fave Cullen is Alice, of course. I want to be her friend.
I would love to have Jasper's gift--controlling emotions. It would be helpful in so many situations.
Antique truck!
In high school I was a cross between Angela and Jessica. And that makes me wanna puke.
Rain is a benediction from heaven...so I'd pick Forks. I think.
I'd wanna hunt with Emmett--'cause he'd go for the big kill and that's just sexy.
My favorite fictional love story? Um...hello...Edward and Bella! Also Rhett & Scarlett.
Non-fiction love story: Hosea and Gomer, in the Old Testament.
I would've loved to have lived in England in the 1800's...wearing corsets, big skirts, and long gloves, while being called on by handsome gentlemen who smell of cigars and whiskey. That's just dang sexy.
Favorite big screen romance: Gone With the Wind, duh. And Buttercup and Westley in The Princess Bride.
TV Romance: Buffy and Spike. David and Maddie (Moonlighting).
Favorite song about love: In Your Eyes, by Peter Gabriel.
CRAP! I've been thinking of my answers all day... now it's gonna look like I've copied Lula.
But I guess if there's one person I want to be like...
OK, so here are my answers:
Team Edward all the way, baby.
I've got a bit of a soft spot for Jasper...
I think I would choose to control emotions... I think if I were able to see into the future, I would just worry and fret over things that were going to happen.
Eric
Shiny silver Volvo
Angela
Forks
Hunting party would have to be Edward, Emmett and Alice... Emmett if I'd have to choose just one, 'cause of his strength.

I so wish I was going to see the movie but I have to read all the books first. I didn't realize how great they were until just recently so I am still on the first book. I know I know its disappointing.
Ok so here are my answers:
Team Edward for sure
Hmmm favorite Cullen I would have to say Edward since I am not far enough into the story to know the other ones that well.
I wouldn't want to be able to do any of those.
I think maybe Eric. I think Mike and Tyler are to whiney.
Sorry antique truck takes this one.
Bella except she is prolly way smarter LOL But I was the new girl in a very small town. Not fun at first.
Don't know if I can pick between Arizona and Forks both have qualities I like.
Edward,Emmet and Alice to hunt with for sure.

Alice. Cute, spunky. Fab clothes.

Hmm..maybe Tyler?

Hmm...the Cullens...maybe Emmett, since he likes games and would be fun.

Hmm...Love me some Olivia and John in Grease.
Hmm..so hard to chose one on these..Grey's McDreamy and Meredith.
Lightening Crashes. Maybe a diff kind of love, but love.
I was Team Jacob during the third book, I believe. Now I'm back to Edward.
Favorite Cullen is probably Alice.
Out of those three options, I think I'd like to read minds?
