Ah Cherry if you were me you'd be reading the spoilers too. I'm going crazy and cursing at UPS, my book wont get to me till the 7th (Thursday) Arghhh, it took them 2 days to freaking get my billing information. I hate UPS -_-

Yeah my friend said that the Pron lags the good stuff, so it sucks in that area.

Cherry Who? 08-04-2008 09:53 PM

The 7th? o_o
You'd have been better off going and buying it at walmart. D:

*hugs*

Stormy1 08-04-2008 10:09 PM

Yeah, I told my mom to go buy it somewhere else and when the other comes I'll sell it off to my friend but she said no, she paid 18 some odd dollars for this damn book and she not going to waste more money on me (she's also paying for my Behind the Wheel class so I can get my license and her and my dad are together with getting my car in September, XD).

I'll just pre-occupy my time with the Even going on here on Mene. : D

Cherry Who? 08-05-2008 02:03 AM

Yeah, let Mene distract you! It's good at that.

And on a note that I SWEAR is not meant to torment Stormy....
I'M DONE! *fists in the air*
Now the movie's going to feel so weird because it's like... so far in the past, you know? XD I mean, really, it's only just a few years in the past, it just feels like... so long ago. o_o Since Breaking Dawn had such a different tone to it than the other books. It immediately made even Eclipse feel like ancient history.

ASDF IT'S OVER. D:

22Tsuji22 08-05-2008 03:20 AM

I still haven't finished Eclipse...I was a little late jumping on the bandwagon... but Jacob is all win. BellaxEdward can be all fail together!

Cherry Who? 08-05-2008 03:25 AM

Tsuji - I was late too, don't worry. I only completed the first three books about two months ago. So I was much later than some. Not as late as you, but still. At least not everyone has been in on the fandom for forevar.
And if you like Jacob, you're in for a treat. He does some narrating in Breaking Dawn, and it really made me like him more. Jacob is a very good character.

22Tsuji22 08-05-2008 03:50 AM

Lol yeah. I read Twilight around April/March whenever my Spring Break was...finished that way quick...then started New Moon. But then I had like 4 essays due and yeah xD. So stopped till after I was out for the summer...then waited to read Eclipse. And when I was trying to read the 150pages I had left before Breaking Dawn came out. My family decided to talk to me about the dumbest things xD.

I saw that Jacob has a 'book' in breaking dawn! I have Breaking Dawn...it is just chilling in my room. I got it at midnight xD

Stormy1 08-05-2008 04:16 AM

so I have a questions about these 'book's with in Breaking Dawn, I understand that their others POV's but how many peoples POV's are there exactly? Is it just Bella and Jacob or are there others?

Cherry Who? 08-05-2008 05:38 AM

Tsuji - I bet you can't wait to start it! But don't rush through it - it ruins it a bit.

Stormy - No, it's just Jacob and Bella. It goes Bella, Jacob, Bella.
Though it would have been interesting to see more perspectives, it just worked best the way it was written.

Seiki Nova 08-05-2008 05:44 AM

I don't like you ex-Jacob haters. Now that you see what he's like through his narration in BD, you're all about how much you love Jacob almost as much as Edward and blah blah blah and the like and just grr. I've always been a Jacob supporter from the first day Twilight ever came out (I actually got my copy of Twilight the first day it was released!) and I knew he would be a big character after that little walk with Bella on First Beach.

Jacob has always been better than Edward and that's final for me : )

Anyways... my mom finished reading Breaking Dawn finally, and I'm glad she liked it because I thought that she wouldn't. I know I was a little iffy about it, but I'm going to start reading it again tomorrow or something only much slower so I can just enjoy it now that I know what happens and all. And maybe that will change my perspective on it a little mor when I read it to enjoy it and not to find out what happens.

And I don't know if I would have liked more perspectives to be honest. None of the other characters really would have been relevant enough to have a perspective that helped to tell the story, except for maybe Rosalie because of the situation thing. But I don't really think I'd want to be in Rose's head for anything. I feel sorry for Edward having to deal with her >> Seriously though, she's the only one that could have worked as a third perspective. Even Edward wouldn't be necessary for those of us who know his personality and the way he thinks already. And besides, he's already got everything laid out on the table for us to see from Bella's perspective anyways.

22Tsuji22 08-05-2008 05:55 AM

^ I used to think Edward was great, but after reading New Moon. I was like ZOMG JACOB! Although for the movie, I'll be all ZOMG Edward, because well Robert Pattinson is smexylicious

@Cherri-chan I can't wait! Don't worry I am a slow reader so it will take a good week since I am always too busy to read. All of a sudden I have a life wtf?

Seiki Nova 08-05-2008 06:02 AM

haha. That's just like everyone else right now. I'm still adjusting to Robert as Edward. I'm not so sure I like it yet. I'm still peeved with Kristen Stewart though >>

22Tsuji22 08-05-2008 06:09 AM

I hate Kristen Stewart she is tooo bitchy looking to be Bella...Everyone hates Robert as Edward...people need to realize how perfect he is going to be!

Seiki Nova 08-05-2008 06:15 AM

No no, I don't have any doubt that he can pull off Edward. I just don't see him as Edward as far as his features and stuff. That's just me though. I'd never really be happy with any of the Cullens to be honest. The guy who plays Carlisle would be amazing if Carlisle were a Brunette xD Because honestly, he's weird blonde. And Ashley Greene wouldn't be a half-bad Alice if she just had shorter hair. The wig she wears is too long : (

And Kristen Stewart is a bad actress with a weird face and a bad voice. Ugh. No thank you. I so wanted Ellen Page or someone more unknown or something. Ellen may not look as much like Bella as I think she could with the right makeup or whatever, especially since she looks a bit too young, but she could act the part well XD

Cherry Who? 08-05-2008 07:33 AM

Tsuji - EXACTLY!! Kristen looks like a bitch! Someone else sees it!
I've said from the beginning that she looked like a smug, attitudey bitch. You're the only other person I've talked to whose seen it! XD
But I'm adjusting to her as Bella. In the clips I've seen, she hasn't looked as bitchy, so that's promising.
I have no problem with Mr. Spunk Ransom, though. As far as I'm concerned, he IS Edward, so it's all good.

I think Emmett needs to be a little bit bigger, and Rosalie needs to be a little bit prettier, but aside from that, I'm happy with the Twilight cast. But that's probably because I saw all of them before I read the books, so I never really developed my own mental images of the cast.

Fabby 08-05-2008 08:21 AM

I actually hate most of the Twilight cast.
Rosalie and Esme are ALL WRONG (I think I've whined about this before), and I really just can't stand Robert as Edward. He just looks completely wrong to me.

I actually don't mind Kristen as Bella. I think she looks decent. Besides, Bella is a bitch, so it fits perfectly. xD

Kearin 08-05-2008 09:22 AM

I hate Kristen for the role. I think she looks the most like a vampire out of all of them without the help of make-up. :(
I agree, she has an odd face. Everytime I look at the movie poster I laugh because it looks like they tried HARD to make her face soft instead of angly and pointy.

Stormy1 08-05-2008 06:54 PM

I actually love Kristen playing Bella (no body kill me please ^_^;; ) I didn't really have anyone in mind for Bella so when I saw that she was picked I was happy with her.
At first I didn't really see Robert as Edward because I still saw him as Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter but he's growing on me (I wanted some one like Matt Doyle as Edward)
I hate who they got for Jasper, his hair scares the crap out of me because how fake it looks. I love Emmett though, yes he could be bigger muscle wise, but I think they did good. ^_^

Cherry Who? 08-05-2008 06:57 PM

I googled Matt Doyle. I think he looks too... soft and human.
He makes a better Mike. XD

Stormy1 08-05-2008 07:03 PM

lol, poor Matt Doyle was googled. XD
I like him because, besides him being gorgeous, he has a breath taking singing voice and I just envision him humming Bella's Lullaby.

Cherry Who? 08-05-2008 07:09 PM

He is pretty cute. He's just not Edwardy to me.

22Tsuji22 08-05-2008 07:40 PM

@Cherri-chan My sister and her friend see it too! I always thought the girl from Gilmore Girls would be a good Bella. Because I see Bella as someone who is kind of pretty but not like 'star' pretty. Robert pulls off that marbleness very well<3

Rosalie should have hair more like this http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/j...ghtblonde1.jpg

Alice needs to be shorter...and her hair needs to be just a little. But doesn't bother me enough to mind. Jasper looks weird...well in the pictures. So I hope when I see the movie everything will be good.

Jacob is decently good<3 They are going to have to do some fancy camera work when he grows like a foot xD

Stormy1 08-05-2008 07:43 PM

Yeah the Jacob actor (Taylor Leurent?) is perfect, though I really Wish Stephen Straight wasn't that old cause he would have been even more perfect.

Cherry Who? 08-05-2008 08:01 PM

ASDF! Yes! Alexis Bledel! I thought the exact same thing. She looks a lot like Kristen Stewart, just less bitchy.
But I think she's too old to play Bella now. :(

And yeah, I've been wondering how they're going to make him look so suddenly tall. XD
But hey, if they made Elijah wood look three feet tall in Lord of the Rings, I think they can make a six foot tall dude look seven feet tall. XD

22Tsuji22 08-05-2008 08:23 PM

Lol yeah but I always thought Alexis Bledel looked young. But I think the director or someone wanted the actual age range.

I can't wait for New Moon<3
