Oprah Wishes She Was A Twihard

Ok so I watched the Oprah show on Eclipse by pure accident because frankly I do not watch Oprah. I don't like her!! Anyway, I was just flippin channels and there she was talking to my Edward and she can't pronounce phenomenon and she kept trying to be so serious and ask them the most dumbest questions we already know all the answers to. To be honest, I think she was belittling the Twilight fans, but most of them worship her and couldn't see it. So, Rob knocked on fans doors and surprised them and all the people got the watch the movie the night before. She sent a lady to some Twilight Mom's house and saw how they had Twilight party's and pretty much made it look like they ignored their kids while they drooled over Edward cardboard cutouts. Then Oprah kept sayin, I just don't get it. I think you don't get, that you didn't put your Oprah book club sticker on this one a long time ago, jealous much miss Oprah. Ok, my ranting is over now for the good stuff. I found some behind the scenes stuff that is pretty good and oh ya, Rob announced Kristen's pregnant but he's having the baby so we all get to see him get big and fat! LOL!!!

View Point Inn

Because I live along the Columbia Gorge were they filmed the first Twilight movie it wasn't much of a drive to go to the View Point Inn. The View Point Inn is were the prom scene was filmed. The owner proudly displays magazine covers that have articles featuring the View Point Inn and the Twilight movie being filmed there. They have a Twilight walk of fame outside were you can buy a brick for a thousand bucks to help with the renovation of the building. The renovation has been going well, Rob and Kristen bought a brick and the rooms look great. They are inexpensive and the Sunday brunch (which I had) was $28 a person and super great!! The food was fantastic and the view was amazing. They even left the Monte Carlo Casino night prop from the prom that Rob & Kristen walked thru for the movie. Ya, I got a pic under that. I even got to look out the window Victoria did and walk down the staircase she stormed down. It seemed less dramatic I know but still fun. We also went to Multnomah Falls which is right below The View Point Inn. There are about five waterfalls but Multnomah is the biggest. I didn't see any vampires playing baseball unfortunatly. Well, if you are in the Portland area please check out the Twilight sights you will be happy you did.

Indie Twific Awards

Most of you have probably already indulged in reading some Twilight fanfiction. If you have you have noticed a few things. One is that these writers, unlike me, are darn good, and two they are so imaginative. I am endlessly greatful for them that the world of Cullens and Forks and all our favorite characters can live on in so many interesting ways. When I finished Breaking Dawn I was sad that it was over and then like everyone else I found Midnight Sun online and read it. I read The Host and loved it but I truly missed the characters I had come to love. I wondered what they would do now that they were safe. What would Edward and Bella's live be like now that they had a family. I even started to wonder about the characters lives before the beginning of Twilight. How had Carlilse and Esme met and what about Emmett and Rosalie and what would they be doing now. I'm glad people with real writing skills wondered these exact things and created Twilight fanfiction. My favorite fanfiction story is the Untitled Continuation of a Twilight Saga and in reading that I signed up for to comment on the writers page. Well the other day she sent me a message that she had been nominated for the Indie Twific Awards. I went to the site and low and behold it was a great mecca of twifiction. Everyone must go there and check out the terrific stories to read. I am reading one right now called The Demise of Esme. I am checking them out so I can figure out which ones to vote for. There are categories and the website explains how to vote and when. Head on over there and get busy, but be forewarned you may never leave your computer. Please comment on the ones you like the best so I can check them out.

Twilight Over Portland

So I'm back people. My computer was out and now my good friend let me borrow her mini laptop. Amazing, it's so much better to type with both hands again. I love Edward the iphone (yes my iphone's name is Edward) but it's hard to type everything one handed. Anyway while I was away I found some very interesting things happening in our hometown. One of them is the Twilight Over Portland. It is a Twilight Convention that will have some very familiar faces to the Twihard fan. Dr. Carlise, Laurant, Angela, and Cora the waitress, along with Billy and a few others who will be anounced. You can check out the link on the link /talkingtwilight.com/convention.html A local mother of two has started a website Talking Twilight.com and she's trying to promote this area by bringing the actors here for a convention. The money raised goes to charity and it includes a brunch and a meet and greet with the actors. It's a three day pass that also includes a tour of the places the movie was filmed at. Then they will recreate the Prom at the Veiw Point Inn. Check it out and let me know what you think. Oh the other thing I found was the Vampire Basball. Dr. Carlisle likes the Pacific Northwest I guess cause he will be here the fourth of July for Vampire Baseball at the PGE stadium go to ticket master to get your tickets.

New Moon Poster & Twilight Movie Where Was It Really Filmed?

This is the new poster for the New Moon movie which will come out in 6 months come tomorrow. Filming is taking place as we speak in Vancouver B.C. and also in Italy. I was browsing another website today and the webmaster was commenting on her trip to the real home of the Twilight Movie. It occurred to me that many people are mistaken as to where the filming of Twilight took place. The book is set in Forks, WA and Port Angeles and of course the La Push reservations. The movie was filmed in Portland OR due to limited accommodation for cast and crew. The Port Angeles scenes were filmed in St. Helens OR. The Vampire Baseball scene was filmed at Multnohma Falls and those sweeping views from the top of the tree were of the Columbia River Gorge which is were I call home. The Prom scene was The View Point Inn in Portland OR. and Forks High was in Portland. I hope this clears up any confusion for some people. Forks is the ideal place of the Twilight setting that was in Stephenie Meyers head. She visited Forks after writing the book and talks about how perfect it was and how when she went to the La Push reservation she was waiting for Jacob to jump out of the forest at any moment. But, the movie and what you see there is definitely the Pacific Northwest, and as a Pacific North westerner I am so happy that we had a movie filmed here that did it's beauty justice.

Twilight Crazy

So, this is my first post & I just have to say that my Twilight world has been crazy for quite a while. My collection of things has gotten way out of control and my friend and I threw a Twilight part Fri. night and yes we made Twilight martinis and played my Twilight board game. I love being a Twilgiht geek. However today I started thinking about why I love being a geek so much. Some of my friends look at me like I have lost my mind, like they are so far above this fleeting thing called Twilight and it's factuation with a fictional character named Edward. Oh they look at me and see the eyes of a silly teenage girl and wonder in their oh so grown up 30 something minds what must be wrong with her and how does her husband put up with her. Well I wonder the same thing too quite often but I believe the answer lies in the fact that I don't want to have the answer. I believe it lies in the fact that so many days as a 30 something Mommy of four we have to get together and comtemplate our children's education and polotics and religion and so many things that make us so responsible and wonderful. But, for just a little bit and maybe longer for me, I wanted to talk about nothing but fictional characters and use that part of my imagination that had lied dormant since the days of high school and longing over a someone who was oh so hot. Is it possible for just a moment to feel like this book has made so many of us feel like when we were teenagers and we had the whole world stop because some guy actually looked at us and the drama that unfolded was life altering. Nothing alters my life lately unless it involves running out of milk. I don't want to give up my Twilight obsession, addiction, craziness or whatever label you put on it because it makes me feel what has been missing for quite a while. That I have an imagination and I'm not afraid to use it. Oh, and ladies life doesn't have to be so darn deep.
