New Moon Duets: The Heartbreak Moment

Not many things are more barfing adorable than eternal love. But what about eternal heartbreak? xoxo panda makes a good case.

[Edward]

I used to think that being alone
would some how simplify my life
but I really know myself
I know I'm going to miss tonight

[Bella]

talking on the telephone
or having all the postage paid
will never make me feel as good
as walking on those riverbanks

laughing like two little kids
sitting in the back of class
only thing that's on my mind
is how to make this moment last

so I pull my camera out
and aimed it at your smiling face

[Edward and Bella]

all the while we hear the sound
of our time slipping away

[Edward]
used to think that being in love
would somehow complicate my life
but I really know my heart
and I can hear yours beat with (for) mine

pounding on piano keys
and strumming on those copper strings
will always make me feel like
you're standing right there next to me

[Bella]
singing like two little kids
and waiting for the rain to pass
only thing that's on my mind
is how to make this moment last

so I pull my feelings out
left them in your travel case
all the while we hear the sound
of our time slipping away

Awwww... BARF

Pop Revelations: Part VIII

Finally! I understand why this song is called Bizarre Love Triangle! Thank you, Volturri, for establishing a New Order.

Every time i think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue [glitter]
It's no problem of mine but it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
While every day my confusion grows

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say

I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way, I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem [vampire? werewolf?]
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say

Twilight CAN be Cheesey

But what great epic love story isn't just a little cheesey?


Not only is Mt. Townsend Creamery located in the Olympic peninsula, an easy vampire-jaunt from Forks, but their newest cheese bears the name of a familiar book. I think they are pretending it is a coincidence.

Bella and Edward, cheesing it up.

Vampire Boyfriend. Mine

What really happened to Kurt Cobain?

I bet Alice and Edward were totally into the grunge thing. I bet Alice dug Kurt's fashionless fashion. She probably checked up on Nirvana in her visions to figure out which shows would be the best to attend.

I bet Alice dropped a vase when Kurt married Courtney. She probably wanted to change him then.

She probably convinced Carlisle that Kurt was doomed. He had no choice!

And how could Carlisle say no? Could he let such talent go to waste?

Edward would want in on some of that musical expertise.

They probably staged the whole death thing, for show.

I bet Alice saw Kurt's future.

I bet she saw me coming.

Happy 1 year, Kurt!

Our friends have to love Twilight just as much as we do. They just do. Why? Well, does passing on the obsession somehow validate our own reaction to the world of Edward? Or do we just need a support system?

I know that I needed someone to exclaim to when Bella discovered she loved Jacob. I needed someone to tell me to power through, and provide other pep talks on the few occasions when I slammed shut "Breaking Dawn" and wanted to toss the book across the room. I needed someone (or ones) with whom to pre-func before seeing the movie. I needed someone to sit beside me at the movie, giggle, tremble, and hold hands, and hhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I love talking each new friend through the reading of the books. I love hearing that a friend's Mom happened to pick up the book I sent her, and can't put it down. I love getting the emails from Vicky, "She's pregnant?!" And then I get to toy with her and make her think it's a werewolf baby, just for funsies. I love discovering that someone I love, like my sister-in-law Annie, has also fallen in love with books on her own and needs no convincing from me that Edward is IT. (When we discovered this mutual obsession, we had to hug it out.)

It's very intense, this being in love with a fictional teenage vampire. I'm just so happy that there are others who feel the same way. Especially those who are willing (and obsessively compelled) to discuss it with me ad nauseum.
