Hubby and I stayed up waaaay too late watching "Twilight". Call me crazy-corny, but last week Josh and I accepted tickets from my little brother to go to the midnight showing of "Twilight" here in Decatur. I haven't stayed up that late since Ella was born. My thoughts regarding our midnight "Twilight" experience:
- Decatur's theatre is somewhat of a charming throwback to the pre-thousand-screen-multi-megaplex, albeit a bit dusty and sticky with seats' comfortablility level reaching American Airlines-ish standards.
- I saw students there who'd been reading the book for weeks. I was proud of their enthusiasm and dedication to the story.
- Watching movies at the theatre cannot be good for my bladder; I refuse to miss anything.
- I only read a portion of the book, and that placed me smack dab in the "not worthy" to watch group.
- The clapping and shrieking of teenaged girls wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.
- Edward Cullen is a nice lookin' vampire, but I must say that he doesn't hold a candle to Lestat.
- Robert Pattinson, the guy who plays Edward Cullen, wasn't nearly as hunky when he appeared as Cedric Diggory in "Harry Potter: The Goblet of Fire".
- And finally, the next midnight showing I attend will probably be when Ella can say, "Hey, Mom...let's go watch that movie...pleeeease!!"

If you haven't already, you really need to check out Terri Lesesne's blog: http://professornana.livejournal.com/
She's billed as "The Goddess of Young Adult literature." I adore her, and I always check out her book suggestions for teens! (Okay-I'm more conservative than she, and I wouldn't give the title she has on her most recent posting to my students...but, overall, fabulous!)
Ohhhh! How could you not like Louie better than Lestat. That tells me you have an alter ego that is more sassy than you let on, Miss Lovelit! :o)
