Twilight Tuesday

My cat, Nomad, is going to star in the next installment of Twilight!

The latest casting news for New Moon is that Dakota Fanning, who I have an irrational hatred for, has been confirmed to play the vampire Jane. Because of my irrational hatred for her I'm not overjoyed at this news, though I admit she does have a certain creepy, empty, otherworldly look to her that would make her a perfect Jane. And these are the guys who are favorites to play Alec. I think Draco Malfoy would be a hilarious choice.

Lastly, my coworker Maggie told me she stayed up till 2:30 this morning reading Eclipse. Do I smell a budding Twihard in the making?

Twilight Tuesday

Every year, the Post publishes a list of what's in/what's out for the new year, and for 2009, not only did the Twihards replace the Claymates, but they also ranked #1 in the "what's in" column.

For the unitiated, Twihards are uber-Twilight fans, one step above the less obsessed Twilighters. Which brings me to the list of what makes a person a Twihard. I had a feeling I would qualify - and I do, based on these~

• Twilight Tuesday is the most important day of the week.
• You dream of going to Forks, or living in Forks.
• You have urges to visit Italy.
  
• You've supplied said literary crack to your friends, and wouldn't talk to them until they read the series. (I've turned at least two people to the dark side, and I aim to turn more!)
• When you grow up, one of your kids is going to be named Edward. (Mr Hazel doesn't know this yet, but it will be so)
• You dream of driving a red 1953 Chevy Pickup, while your husband drives a silver Volvo s60 r.
• You look up to the sky on a rainy day, and think "Damn I feel as if I'm in Forks!"
  
• You hate how Edward has a fattish, hairy chest while Jacob has a six pack. (This is depressing, but so true - RPattz needs to work on this for New Moon)
• You hate Jasper's hair, since it looks like the wig is about to pop off any minute.
• All you want is everything to be perfect in the movie.
• You have considered sprinkling glitter on your future/husband so you can pretend you're with Edward.
• You have seen a silver Volvo parked outside a store, and have either taken a picture with it and/or gone inside the store and look for Edward.
• All of your friends think you need to see a shrink.
• Talking with random strangers about Twilight is fun!
• Edward Cullen is your (fictional) boyfriend.
• You've forced your boyfriend/husband/best boy friend to read Twilight, and made them take Edward's actions to heart. (Sadly, this didn't work)
  
• Your [blog] is either dedicated to Twilight, or has a huge portion of it dedicated to Twilight.
• You enjoy criticizing every aspect of the Twilight movie, since you know they are only taking out your favorite quote/scene just to annoy you.
• When someone makes fun of Twilight, it's like they are making fun of you, and you jump into an argument with them about how Twilight kicks ass.
• You felt betrayed when you found out Edward would drive a hatchback instead of the s60 r.
• You refer to to Robert Pattinson as RPattz or Spunk Ransom.
