I felt 14 again...

Okay girls...so we had THE MOST AMAZING "ECLIPSE" party ever!~ My neighbor Tara hosted it in her awesome backyard, strung with red christmas lights, great food, and Twilight/New Moon/Vampire trivia. The whole ambiance was done by candlelight and the red Christmas lights. We talked all about funny vamipre trivia, my friend Mandy made these questions up from the Twilight Lexicon website (if you've never been there...go now...it's AWESOME). We took some photos, and then we were off to Barnes and Noble for the madness. They were having a huge party with a trivia game, dress up contests, and scavenger hunts. IT WAS PURE MADNESS! It felt like the time when Angie and I went to the Backstreet Boys Concert, and when she was on the phone with the ticket people and she asked them if they had an "over 14" section. The place was swarming with teenagers and their "I LOVE EDWARD" shirts and tattoo's (which i had on also, of course). Anyways, after about 20 mintues of madness, we left and went to Borders to see what their party was like. There were tons of people, but they were getting everyone in line already. We had #26 for Barnes and Noble, so we left Borders and headed back to Barnes. We got there with 5 mintues to spare. They did a 20 second countdown, and we were in! We left buying 5 books, and were outta there in about 6 mintues. Everyone was cheering and screaming like Justin Timberlake was in line or something. It was such a site to see! I am still reading (I wanted to savor it, and have un-interrupted time to enjoy it), but we'll have a dialouge once everyone is finished so we don't ruin it for anyone!

I am laughing so hard at the madness... I can just see it all! That is hilarious that everyone was screaming like it was Justin Timberlake comment. And I remember when you and Angie went to that concert and she asked for an "over 14" section. That was hysterical! What is wrong with me that I still don't have my book? Oh well, I'm going there today to get it so one day late isn't that bad, right? Anyway, I'm loving all these people who are loving these books! This blog is awesome!

That is so funny! I can't believe its such a HUGE deal in Utah. Probably because Stephenie is a BYU grad I'm guessing. I'm almost done Twilight but at the moment Reece is being extremely un-cooperative! By the end of the day for sure though, and then I'm on to New Moon!
