Baffled

I've been scratching my head for about 6 months straight... I'm starting to see a little bald spot.  I'm not sure what happened (ok maybe do) but somehow my quaint little family blog has some followers (some of whom, I have yet to cyber acknowledge- consider this a warm [[[hug]]] from baldy)  Anyways, I guess the only thing I can say is "thanks" for the love.
*scratches bald spot
Anyway what I really started writing about today was

HI!!!  I think, if we are talking age Jacob would say I'm twelve right about now.  I was sooo giddy after seeing that!  Allow me to explain why though...
Well, first check out our awesome shirts...

I was the only Team Jacob but it's all good...

can you tell this shirt was crumpled up on my floor all night/day? haha

OK.... First of all, back in the day when I was reading Twilight I didn't care much for Edward.  I was a Jacob fan all the way.  Jacob ADORED Bella- and wasn't rude in the halls one day and making out with her the next.  I know Edward adored her too, he just had a funny way of showing it most of the time (and that bothered me).  Although, I understand where he's coming from (since he didn't want to eat her) but I would think- dude make up your mind.  I don't have issues with the vampires, I think they are super.  But I deep down always wanted Bella to go for Jacob (=
...there's just a little background for ya.  So with that said, this movie sure did it for me.  It's a great time to be Team Jacob (;

I'd stop reading if you haven't seen it and plan to!!

SO anyway, there were like one or two things that irritated me just a little.  Mostly just the parts that were different from the book... it makes me wonder why they just don't follow it sometimes.  They could've!  Oh well, it was great despite that.

My favorites were Mike Newton

just hilarious.  That whole scene cracked me up!  Same with this one...

I totally love that they added this part from the book!

the Volturi!  They are straight up legit.

I can't wait to see more of them later on.

Esme, oh my gosh!  She looked awesome- the hot vamp mom I expected all along.  Now without that huge hideous wig.  The other thing I liked was that the vampires eyes looked soooo much better than they did in Twilight.

The dream scene with gram was one of my favorite parts of the movie.  Something about it... I about cried. lol!

I don't care what any one says... I think Kristen is the perfect Bella!  When I was reading the books all I could say about Bella was that she is crazy.  Kristen plays her so well.  I think it would be hard to portray a "person" like Bella who is such a thinker.  Who thinks about more than she really says.  Do you follow me?  Ah well...

It kind of bugged me that they showed Edwards face in every "hallucination" Bella had.  I thought they could've started off w just his voice and move to her seeing him... would've been less corny, I think.  And follow the book, of course.

The wolves were awesome- I was afraid they'd look too weird or fake but they were perfect, I thought.

Even though I knew exactly what was going to happen here I was still on the edge of my seat.  This part was so good!

These parts were a bit awkward for me...

Eh.

Well I guess I went on long enough... when I blogged my feelings about Twilight, the movie, I had a lot more to say because it just wasn't as good.  I'm so glad we do not have to wait another full year to see Eclipse!  But I'm wondering how it's going to be.. what, with a new director and all.  Arg. OH- but one thing I did love was that they actually really did make Jacob look older in this one.  In the books he goes from looking like a cute lil kid in Twilight to practically an adult in New Moon.  Props to Taylor for working out as much as he did because he definitely did look "HUGE" like he was supposed to.

The End. 

Your thoughts?
