Pocket Edward...

OK, is it really wrong that I would like a pocket Edward to carry around with me, even though I wouldn't be overly creative with taking his pictures and using him for comedy's sake? I have a few good friends who get quite creative with theirs... taking him on all kinds of adventures and posting amazingly creative photos of him. I, on the other hand, just feel the need to keep him with me at all times, a sort of security knowing he's not far and a reminder of the miracle that is Edward Cullen.

Pretty goofy I know... what can I say? The manufacturers sure know how to get us. But I'm most willing to part with a few bucks so that I can have a little reminder of my personal sparkle man close by. Who's with me? Do I dare ask my sweet husband to buy him for me or is that going too far?

Eclipse... Thoughts on Bella Punching Jacob

I just re-read the part of Eclipse when Jacob forces Bella to kiss him (pages 330-342). I remember the first time I read this I felt queasy. I was so worried about Edward and wondered how Bella could allow it to happen that I didn't enjoy the humor as much I did the second time around. This time it had me laughing. As always Emmett found the humor in it immediately and had me wishing that I knew him in real life.

What surprises me about the sequence is Edward's charm and affection. He handled the entire situation so maturely and got me thinking... Edward and Jacob are so very opposite in many ways, except their extreme commitment and love for Bella. Jacob is immature and raw to the core. Edward in contrast is quite refined and exhibits the gentlemanly qualities ingrained in the time of his human up-bringing. I tend to favor the more mature, but understand the draw that Bella feels toward Jacob. He's wild, care-free, a risk-taker, and an open book as far as his emotions and thoughts are concerned. I'm sure I would have a blast spending an afternoon at the beach with him, but I would want to spend my forever with Edward... Poor Jacob. In my mind he doesn't even come close.

I'm Lost Without My Copy of New Moon...

I'm very happy to say that I've got my mom hooked on Twilight. I knew she'd enjoy reading the series, in fact I was a little hesitant to ask her if she was interested in reading Twilight since I knew I'd have to lend her my copy.

Fortunately she's a fast reader... and who is able to put the book down once you get into it anyway? It was only on loan for a couple days, but I did let her know my small disclaimer that if I needed it at anytime to check something or get a little fix that I had the right to ask for it back temporarily.

Anyway, she loved it (of course) and then asked for my copy of New Moon. I'm thrilled to have her finish the series for a few reasons (all of which are completely selfish)... First, I want my books back! (that sounds so bad but I feel a little lost without them at my fingertips if need be). Second, I can't wait to hear what she thinks about the whole saga. Spoiler Alert: She totally thinks Bella stays human forever since Edward is so opposed to changing her!!! I wish I could see her reaction when she gets through Breaking Dawn. And lastly: I'll have a pretty valid excuse to watch the movie (yet again!!!).

Lyrics for "Let Me Sign" by Rob Pattinson

Ok, here's another song on the Twilight soundtrack... it comes as a bonus track on iTunes, not on the retail CD. It's another one performed by Rob Pattinson. It plays in the movie when Bella is dying in the ballet studio.

Let Me Sign

Oohh
Oohh
Standing there by the broken tree,
Her hands were all twisted, she was pointing at me.
I was damned by the light coming out of her eyes.
She spoke with a voice that disrupted the sky.
She said 'Walk on over yeah to the bit of shade,
I will wrap you in my arms and you'll know you've been saved'
Let me sign, let me sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign.

I was out for a drink in a soho bar
The air was smoked out liked a cheap cigar
She rose out of her seat like a painted ghost
She was the woman that I wanted the most
As she reached for my arm I gave her my hand
I said 'Lay me down easy let me understand'
Let me sign, let sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign.

As I walked through the door she was still in my head
As I entered the room she was laid there in bed
She reached out for me all twisted in black
I was on my way down, never coming back
let me sign, let me sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign.
let me sign, let me sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign.

Lyrics for "Never Think" by Rob Pattinson

I loved this song from the Twilight Soundtrack since the first time I heard it. However I couldn't understand all the words as he sang them (Rob Pattinson, you know)... so I looked up the lyrics. This song plays while Edward and Bella are at the restaurant in Port Angeles.

Never Think

I should never think
What's in your heart
What's in our home
So I won't

You'll learn to hate me
But still call me baby
Oh Love
So call me by my name

And oh, save your soul
save your soul
Before you're too far gone
Before nothing can be done

I'll try to decide when
She'll lie in the end
I ain't got no fight in me
In this whole damn world
To tell you to hold off
You choose to hold on
It's the one thing that I've known

Once I put my coat on
I'm coming out of this all wrong
She's standing outside holding me
Saying oh please
I'm in love
I'm in love

Girl save your soul
Save your soul
Before you're too far gone
And before nothing can be done

'Cause without me
You got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Hold on
