New Moon Memory Lane.

In honor of kicking off Rob's Birthday Blog Train this week, let's take a trip down New Moon Memory Lane...shall we?

I realize a few of you may know some of these things, and if so, I apologize in advanced. However those of you that just started following Twired might just learn something new. ;)

I finished reading the Twilight Saga around early August of 09'. Of course right after finishing Twilight, Elusive S had me watch the movie ASAP. It was right then and there that I fell hardcore in love with Robert Pattinson. The scene where he enters the cafeteria is absolutely PRICELESS. I remember thinking at the time that it felt like years until New Moon would come out in theaters. After watching a few videos on the Twilight Premiere of 08', I got the idea that it might be fun to drive up to LA to try and get a glimpse of the cast, but more importantly, Rob. You can read a much more detailed account of the adventure here in one of my firsts posts. In fact, it's really what prompted me to start this blog. I so desperately wanted to share how much fun I'd had with people that would appreciate it.

Here we are in the New Moon Premiere line Nov 09'
I brought Robward on a stick :)
Westwood, CA

We didn't get wristbands, however we had a prime view of the arriving limos.
This is where I ended up, squished between a tree & a barricade...all in the name of ROB.



This was my view as Rob got out of the limo. Sure, you can't see him, but HE WAS THERE. I promise!

Sadly, that was the only picture I managed to take. He walked across the street to sign autographs, then came back towards us. He got about 10 ft away before our barricade started dipping forward with the weight of the fans. Once that happened, his people whisked him back towards the red carpet. In that moment, when he was approaching us....well let's just say I lost all sense of self. I couldn't even operate my camera, let alone think coherently. I knew if I ever got to see him in person, I'd freak. But I had no idea my body would totally lose control. I think had he come right up to me, I would have cut off my fan-girl instinct and tried to control myself...however knowing he couldn't see me...I was allowed a bit of a flip out.

Fast forward a week or so from the official LA Premiere, New Moon finally came out in theaters. Elusive S & I saw it twice the first day, then two more times after that. I couldn't get enough. New Moon the movie took me on the lowest of lows & the highest of highs. New Moon wasn't my favorite book, but the movie was pretty amazing. Below are two vids that take you from utter sadness, to complete euphoria. Enjoy.

PS Might wanna grab a box of tissues for the first one.

Might wanna grab some new panties after this next one ;) It's one of my favorite vids showing a glorious side by side comparison of Edward from Twilight to New Moon. SWOON!







Hope you enjoyed those vids, and hearing about New Moon the movie, and what the whole experience meant to me.
