Breaking Dawn

(WARNING: Lots of musings/ramblings/opinions about Twilight ahead)

So, me and my girlies, being the mature women we are (aha ha ha) decided instead of killing ourselves to go to the midnight showing of Breaking Dawn, we'd just go the actual opening night and make a girls' night out of it. It was so fun! I love these girls and wish we had the time to get together, all 4 of us, more.

FYI: I read Twilight back before it became a craze. It was right when New Moon came out. Most people I knew hadn't even heard about it (I heard about it from my cousin, then my sister). I absolutely loooooved Twilight the book. New Moon, not so much. And then by the time Eclipse came out things were starting to get crazy, especially with all the teenage girls obsessed! (does that say something about me, how much I love teen fiction??). And I hated the book Eclipse anyway. But I still ordered my copy of Breaking Dawn in advance and stayed up all night reading it. There was just stuff you had to find OUT, you know?! And by then it wasn't even fun to talk to other people about it because it was like, this worldwide craze. So I got kindof turned off to the whole Twilight thing. BUT, that hasn't stopped me from re-reading Twilight and Breaking Dawn at least 3 times each. This mainly happened when I used to tag along with the wrestling team to tournaments!!!

SO. I think I went to both New Moon and Eclipse at the dollar theater. But, since this was my 2nd favorite book out of them, I knew it would be one to go see right away! And what did I actually think of it? I don't know. It's kind of graphic. I am not a graphic person. I can not ever get disgusting images out of my head once I have seen them. It's horrible. So I couldn't even watch when Bella was drinking a freaking cup of blood. ew, I want to vomit just thinking about that. And I wanted to plug my ears when she was giving birth to a vampire baby. . . eeeeewwwww.... and she was so disgustingly skinny I went home and googled how they got her to look that way in the movie. But, to be fair it was super accurate and went right along with the book. Besides that their wedding was not outside in the book. But whatever. I did think the acting was BY FAR the best of any of those movies. Thankfully. In the previous ones that acting made me want to barf. So it was sooo nice to actually be believing of what was going on onscreen!

And that is my Breaking Dawn recap. Thanks for tuning in.

As for our girls' night, it was so fun! Besides my guilty feelings for causing us to be running late. If you want the truth it was actually Collin....coming home late.... causing our carpool to be late.... but hey who wants the details? :) We ate at the Creperie! So fun except we were a little rushed. I felt so bad. But I love that place and need to take Collin sometime!

And..... you have to promise not to re-post this picture, ever! ha ha! We may or may not range in age from 27-32. . . . and may or may not have had a couple of teenage girls take this picture! You gotta do what you gotta do. :)

We ended up going to Moxie Java afterwards to continue our good time. It was so great! I figure if nothing else, this whole Twilight thing has been very responsible for a lot of very fun girls nights outs over the years! So props to Stephenie Meyer for that!
