Twilight at Midnight!! Am I crazy!??!

Ok, I must have been laughing my head off once or twice the other night!! And who's fingers are behind my head? Margaret? I was crazy enough to go to the midnight showing of Twilight with my friends and my mom. Now, don't get me wrong.... I am not a Twilight-a-holic. I enjoyed reading the books, but to be honest who has time for that? My mom gave me book #4 the day after it came out in August and I haven't even cracked the cover! But, I took this as a fun opportunity to hang out with my friends and be silly. It was exactly that.

Our group was of about 40, 30 somethings and my mom. We were labeled the "Welby Hussies", by the MC of the party. (Welby being the area we live in) I resemble that!!

The night started with some of us going to dinner at Olive Garden, then off to the theater for the party! It was crazy.... girls walking around in prom dresses, veneered fangs, professions of love to Jacob and Edward on their t-shirts (Team Edward & Team Jacob), cupcakes and chocolate, I heard there were blood drives going on, and red chocolate fountains resembling blood for people to drink, and candied apples. What a hoot! I even saw a guy with a shirt that said, "My daughter is making me wear this shirt.... TEAM EDWARD!"

The group that reserved our theater really put on quite the party. From the time we got in the theater, they were playing music, and giving away tons of prizes. My mom and I didn't win anything but candy and she was ready to elbow the girls next to us that kept winning. She said she just couldn't be a stick in the mud. Well I say, "Mama said knock you out, uhh!"

The movie, well here's my critique:

It was good. Not more than I expected. Edward grew on me. The special effects were lacking. Edwards glowing skin of diamonds made him look like he was ready to puke. Bella was cute, Alice was cuter. He should have kissed her sooner the first time. She needed to wear more to bed. The baseball game was awesome! Edward's Volvo sports car was a grocery getter! Bella's truck was perfect. Over-all, the tension and drama were great and I really did like it. I don't get paid to critique anyway... so there you have it.
