New Moon Anyone?

So it's occurred to me. I need to see New Moon again. Soon. I've seen it twice. Once with 30 people from the office. And once at home - viewed on a computer. I swear the guy videotaping the movie was a 43 year old virgin pervert (I swear the camera was a skirt cam). He was snarfing on popcorn. Loudly. Added some great sound effects to the fight scene though.

My problem? I dont have anyone to go with. *runs over to Twitarded to steal image. Thanks gals!*

That`s right. Twi-swears doesn`t have any Twilight friends to go see New Moon. Actually, she doesn't have friends. Must be the Tourettes.

Why don't I have anyone to go with?

1. Co-workers. Not an option. Did you see this post? 'Nuff said.
2. None of my friends are into Twilight. None. They all think I'm bat shit crazy if I bring it up.
3. My husband is knee deep in school work. My husband also thinks twilight is fluff. Although he patiently puts up with my Twitardedness so long as I keep the drooling about RPattz to a minimum.

So, this is where all you come in (all 11 14 of you) Anyone wanna see New Moon again? Okay, there are a few criteria. Airfare and long driving can't be involved. I lack time and money (see point number three above for a big clue as to why we're flat broke). Er..so let me revise my question - Anyone in Southern Ontario wanna catch New Moon with a fellow Twitard? Think of it as a run-up to Twitarded Con. Anybody? Anybody?

Bueller?

Otherwise I'll just suck it up and go and see it myself.

Heads up!

So just an FYI everyone (all 10 13 14 of you- heh!) that Anna Kendrick is going to be on The Hour. The Hour is a great late night talk show on the CBC. It's one of my fav shows. I'm guessing most of you live outside of the Great White North so you won't be able to see it live on tv on Tuesday night. The good news - is that you'll be able to watch it online a few days after! George does the most fantastic interviews - they're always interesting. I'm pretty sure it's on iTunes podcast too!
Anywho, here's the linkie dink - I'll let you know if it's worth watching.

New Moon Initial Thoughts

Okay, I'm doing this thing in point form cause I wasn't taking notes during the film.

• The music wasn't where I thought it was going to be. I had places picked out for the songs. Next time Chris Weitz? Consult me about where those songs should go.
• The CGI - some times awesome. Other times? Budget. The wave that nearly gets Bella? Awful. This is Chris Weitz, he can do CGI (Hello Golden Compass) WTF happened? I blame Summit.
• I had high hope for the hair. After the fuckawfulness of Jasper's hair, Nicki's bad dye job, and Taylor's hair that look liked it was made from dark, thick fishing line in Twilight - I was hoping they might blow the bank on hair. Jasper's hair was still fuckawful, Nicki still looks like shit as a blond, and I swear they used the same fucking wig until he "shaves" it off.
• Makeup. I've still got some lipstick issues. Ack!
  
• Rachelle got robbed - they clearly cut all her lines. You can tell. Fucking Summit.
  
• Michael Sheen, Anna Kendrick, Dakota Fanning and Billy Burke? Scene stealers, fan-fucking-tastic.
• WTF was Alice's vision? Funniest part of the movie. Hands down.
  

I need to go back, take a notebook, and analyze. Maybe Monday night. Then maybe I'll review.

p.s. Anyone know how to insert a countdown timer into el-blog? I've got the Html code but don't know what the fuck to do with it.

Twi-stfm is outed.

So - I'm out of the closet. No, not THAT closet.

The twitarded closet.

It all started rather innocently a few weeks ago when I was home from work at lunch time. I got a notice that there was a package for me at the post office that I had to go pay duty on. I squeed right in the lobby and earned a few "what-the-fuck-is-up-with-that-chick?" looks from an old lady with a walker. So because I have impulse control issues - I left home early, forked over some dough to the Canadian government, and picked up my long sleeved twitarded shirt that I ordered during this whole debacle. I ripped open the package right there in the parking lot, squeed and then drove back to work.

Then I showed it to my coworkers.

Twi-stfm "Hey look what I got in the mail guys!"

Non-twitarded coworker "Umm...that's nice...what the fuck is it?"*

Twi-stfm "What I'm wearing when we all go to New Moon!!"

Non-twitarded coworker "Umm...that's nice...what the fuck is it?"*

Insert conversation here wherein I blab about how funny and fuckawesome Twitarded is.

Non-twitarded coworker, looking at me like I'm somewhat demented "Umm...that's nice."

THAT should have been my hint right THERE that my co-workers weren`t Twitarded kind of people.

So fast forward to this week. The office is all in a frenzy 'cause there's like 30 of us going to see New Moon. Two things happened:

1) A woman at work got her first laptop and I directed her to Twitarded. She`s actually got a sense of humour so she`ll probably like it. I`m not sure she'll do anything but lurk, but at least I might now be able to say "Did ya see that last post from JJ/STY? Fucking hillarious!" That or she'll think I'm demented for liking it.

2) I had to put up with Superfan. Let's name her....um...I dunno Superfan. Superfan is a great co-worker, but is WAY over the top when it comes to Twilight. She's always the one updating us with the latest news, what they're filming now, where Rob is in the world, and she's so fucking fanatical about it. You can't say ANYTHING bad about the precious.

"Did you see those Cannes pictures of the Precious?"

So Superfan has been in all a tizzy this week with organizing our lil outing. She can hardly fucking contain herself. There were a few times when I thought she was going to spontaneously combust into flames from watching all the RPattz interviews.

We were discussing what exactly she was going to after New Moon was over. Her answer? After she finishes planning a new moon dvd release party, she was going to start planning our Eclipse outing.

And that's when I opened my big fucking mouth and said "Yeah, I might be going with some other people from Twitarded somewhere instead of you guys." She was shocked and well, outraged.

"What do you MEAN!??! You don't want to see the precious without me! Smeagol is VERY UPSET!"

So yesterday, we were all standing around teasing her about being in a tizzy again. She literally couldn't concentrate on work. If I had had valium in a spray mister form - I'd have been spritzing her constantly just to calm her the fuck down. She was that over the top. Example? She was planning a game for us to play during dinner. In a nice but busy restaurant. During my steak dinner where I only want to concentrate on meaty goodness.

And then it happened, I apparently went a tad too far in my teasing and provoked the beast. She then morphed from Gollum into, well, a rabid dog in about 2 seconds flat.

Yup - pretty much just like that.

Her response? "Yeah, well, you're just as bad as I am about twilight stuff. You're going with some friends from twitter to see Eclipse."

My co-workers looked at me, horrified. I looked at her horrified. I managed to sputter out a "Yeah, well, it's a blog, not twitter. And it's not for sure. And-I-might-be-going-camping-with-my-husband-that-weekend-anyways." I think they believed me. Superfan - not so much.

So now, I don't think I'm going to wear my twitarded shirt to our outing. I just don't want to deal with people that don't have a sense of humour. It`s not that I`m ashamed of my Twitardedness - I just think they won`t get it. Also, I have to travel with Superfan to our outing as we're carpooling for 30 min. Help!

Don't think that this is what she's wearing. But it's what she needs.

Do you have a Superfan in your life? How the fuck to you deal with them? Do you have any non-twitarded twilight fans? Have your conversion of twilight fans to twitarded fans ever gone awry? Should I wear my shirt or just save it for my next screening of the movie when I'm going solo?

*Okay, she didn't ACTUALLY swear. But I'm re-telling the story and we all know I swear too fucking much.

Ooohhh the boss is coming!

Do you know the Arkells? You should if you don't already. Go check out youtube - there's a few of their songs up. I'll just wait here...

You back?

Did ya listen to this one? ( Sorry don't quite know how to embed videos yet)

Kinda reminds me of work and Twilight. You see - I got introduced to Twilight through work. For months I had been hounded and badgered into reading the books by my ENTIRE team. They kept trying to get me to read the books but when they said "teen vampire romance". My response was "You got to be fucking kidding me! You people like a teen vampire romance novel. Pffftttt." Finally I caved - just to shut them up. And oh boy did I ever cave- I read the entire series in 4 days, including at work for a few hours each day, when I knew the boss wasn't coming. I read it in between Client visits, in between phone calls, on break, you get the idea....

Now I must admit that being surrounded by Twilight fans has its advantages. I can openly lust about Rob, squee over trailers with co-workers, help plan our massive outing to see New Moon at the 19+ theatre. But they aren't into fanfic (and they aren't Twitarded types either). I fact I would bet that most of them don't even know what fanfic is.

So now I've delved into fanfic and regularly read it at work. Copy and paste is my friend, so is a tiny light gray font. I read most of CW & IA this way, same with WA and The Office. I should definitely NOT be accessing smut at work. I could get in serious shit. I.just.can't.stop! It's gotten worse since I signed up for alerts too! I've tried to pair it down to once a week - and lately there hasn't been the time. But I`ve got to stop this fucking nonsense!

Anyone else master of the alt-tab key? Anyone had issues at work? Do we need to start a support group? "Hi, I'm Twiswearstoofucking much and I read fanfic at work. A lot."

Oh hai there!

Right, so I'm addressing all you twat waffles for a reason.

You guys are a bunch of funny bitches and I want to meet all you crazy gals in person. For reals. And I want to go watch Eclipse and squee together. I want to get drunk with you twitards cause I strongly suspect that MAJOR chaos could ensue and I like that idea.

So I'm dipping my baby toe into the blogosphere to see what your thoughts are. Should we make Twitarded Con 2010 happen? Where do you want to hang out? Should we do one location or hold simultaneous Twitard Cons (east coast, west coast, etc)? What else would you want to see at a Twitarded Con (apart from the obvious that I've mentioned) And last but not least - what's your fav kind of drink? No really. I'm thinking we might have to warn whatever hotel we're going to desecend on to start stocking up.
