The song for this chapter is Crushed by Lesley Roy
[audio:https://twilightguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/crushed.mp3]
When I first started Twilight, I told myself that above all, I would not become one of those fans: the one’s who spin around when they see a silver Volvo, or who blink twice anytime a girl says her name is Bella, or re-read quickly when the words ‘dazzle’ or ‘sparkle’ or ‘scintillating’ are used in a sentence. However, I was brought to an immediate pause in my biology class this week, when I opened my textbook to find that we would be studying prophase and anaphase under the microscope.
These were scientific terms long before Bella and Edward were studying them. Sheesh! Anyhows, despite my lopsided posting due to an equally lopsided school schedule, I couldn’t resist grabbing the book and finding out what happened next, as the vampires and werewolves near a war (and not even against each other…yet).
First off, I find it so interesting that Leah is now a werewolf. Up until now, I’ve only known of male werewolves (perhaps I have lost something along the way) but now I’m intrigued. I wonder if Leah could become the anti-Alice: like her werewolf counterpart, the balancing factor between the vampires and the werewolves. It makes me wonder if there is simply a disproportionate amount of male werewolves, or if the females simply do not live in that part of the country. And no wonder Sue is upset: both of her children have up and turned themselves into wolves. Try explaining that to the neighbors.
The whispers about the werewolf pack is so much like a soap opera, now that I’ve heard a bit of Embry’s history. Who’s cheating who? Who’s being true? And who don’t even care anymore? I hadn’t expected this from them, when their pack is so tight. Wouldn’t they be able to read the minds of each other and know the truth: or, at least have the risk of it, in the case of those-who-did-not-become-werewolves? Perhaps I’m simply jumping to scandalous conclusions…
But, while I was trying to think about the various possibilities of Embry’s heritage, I was distracted by a thought Bella voiced: will she be the cause of someone’s death? Because, after all, trouble seems to follow her wherever she goes — and not just in the clumsy sort of way either. This newborn vampire war seems to be the closest anyone has come to dying on her behalf. If someone does die, will it be her fault?
I have begun to gather clues to each chapter from the title, and this one is titled ‘Selfish’. It makes me wonder things. Who is really being selfish? Is it Bella, for wanting Edward to stay with her and out of danger? Is it Edward, who wants Bella away from the fighting, even though her being there might help to save the lives of some of his own family? Perhaps it is a bit of both. Maybe neither of them wants to the lose the other, and in doing so, are willing to sacrifice anything — despite the fact that it might cost the lives of others in the process.
Dire thoughts aside, there is something about Bella talking with the werewolf Jacob that strikes me. I don’t know what it is, but it seems to be one of the softest scenes I have read so far between her and Jacob: as if when he is in that form, it’s moreso the real Jacob Black, and the human form is simply something he assumes at certain times. Even Bella seems to feel how different Jake is:
“It was strange. Even though he was in this bizarre form, this felt more like the way Jake and I used to be — this easy, effortless friendship that was as natural as breathing […]”
As I read this scene, I noticed again why I seem to like Edward more than Jacob. Edward is a listener. He wants to hear what Bella has to say, and he wants to do anything that will make her happy and safe. But Jacob seems to be harsher in this sense: he seems to speak more, to talk without listening. Jacob can’t seem to assume the mature respect that Edward carries towards Bella: that is, until he turns into a werewolf.
But now, it’s a quiet scene again, this calm before the storm, with Jacob and her side-by-side watching the preparations for battle. He can’t say anything — he can only listen to Bella. There is warmth in this scene, I can almost feel it as I read: not just the warmth that Bella feels coming from Jacob, but a genuine, friendly warmth that lightens the loathing that Bella had developed for Jacob after giving him a (much deserved) whack. And I can’t help but feel like Bella: maybe, Jacob Black isn’t so bad after all 😀
Question for the comments: for both Team Jacob and Team Edward, do you like Jake better in his wolf form or his human form? Also, have you ever reacted strangely when you recognize something Twilighty in real life (aka a shiny silver volvo).

I like Jake better as a human, because even though he does stuff that deserves a smacking, he’s more funny and entertaining.
And, I have a funny story about a volvo.
Last year, a couple months after I had read the series for the first time, I was getting Italian ice with my family, and then my dad walked down this one dark alleyway, and since I was sitting down, talking to one of my friends, I didn’t notice until my little brothers and sister went with him too, and I saw them round the corner. My friend had to go, so I followed the rest of my family, but they weren’t there! Of course I started thinking of the whole Port Angeles scene, so I turned back around, and out of nowhere, a silver shiny volvo parked right in front of me. I just stood there and stared, until my sister starting running up to me, from the alleyway, saying “Katie, they’re coming!”
Of course all I could think of was the cullens, and I said “Who’s coming?” … sadly, she was just talking about my dad and my brothers:(
I like Jake in wolf form because he can’t talk.
No crazy twilight moments for me.
I am very excited you are getting to my favorite chapter in the book. Chapter 20 Compromise
YES!
Jake is WAAAAY better in wolf form. He’s softer, sweeter, and it’s more… natural?
Yes. I do have a lot of crazy Twilight moments. I hear a name. I do a double-take. I see a silver Volvo, I stare. My aunt’s fiance has one. SCARY! I hear the word ‘vampire’, and I instantly pay more attention. Pathetic, I know.
HAHAHA!
Jake’s plans to get rid of Edward. Great. I laughed.
And I wanna reelly know you next thoughts for chapter 20!
I live very close to NYC, so close that I have to avoid any highway around my town between 4-8pm to avoid getting stuck with a million cars on their way in and out of the city. But about 2 weeks after I finished Breaking Dawn I got stuck on the highway after some poorly timed plans on my part and there was absolutely nothing to do but stare at the cars around me. I managed to see every single car from all 4 of the books, with the exception of Bella’s truck (because taking that into NYC would be a horrible idea?). Some of the colors were off, like the Porsche wasn’t yellow, but still.
And I like Jake better in his wolf form. I’m Team Edward, and think that Jake can be incredibly annoying at times, but I still don’t hate him and he can be hysterical at times. But half of my friends are that way too (never shut up, can be annoying, but always good to laugh at)… wish some of them would turn into wolves so I could have a moment of peace lol.
the same thing happened to me in my life science class last semester. the proffesor started talking about anaphase ans prophase. my friend, also a twilight fan, was sitting next to me. we look at each other and start craking up. and then some one asked how to spell a word, and proffesor said “e as in Edward.”
it just basically made my day!
Aww. Your full posts aren’t showing up in Google Reader any more. Just one more click between me and my dose of Twilight Funny.
I don’t know if I’ve ever reacted strangely, but I notice things all the time. Just this morning, I was drinking from a cup when I noticed on the bottom of the cup it said “Continental Carlisle.” I guess it’s the style of cup, but… *shrug*
I definitely like Jacob better in his wolf form. I have to agree with Kaleb; he can’t really do anything but listen at that point. Knowing that he’s capable of that is kind of refreshing. I’m still team Edward (even though I’d take Jasper over either. haha).
Twilight-induced-freaking- outage? All the time. The other day, I started reading Gone with the Wind, which for those who don’t know is set around the civil war period in America, and the whole time I kept wondering if Jasper had joined Maria yet…
It’s hard not to have Twilight moments, as SM has so many ordinary things in the story. My friend accused me of bringing every conversation around to Twilight, but she is finally on the bandwagon. She saw the movie and is now reading the books (as she confessed with chagrin). And we are not tweens, teens or even 30 somethings, more like TwiMom’s much older sisters.
On the character bios on the Lexicon, you’ll find out that Harry Clearwater’s heart attack was caused by seeing BOTH of his children phase. Poor Leah! No wonder she has issues.
I think I would have to say I like Jacob in his wolf form better. As for seeing stuff from twilight I go crazy. My sister and I formed a game sort of like “slug bug” but it’s called “Cullen Kill’em” every time you see a vehicle that belongs to the Cullen’s you yell “Cullen Kill’em” and name the car or the owner of it. As for other characters cars we have the “Bella Swella” red chevy truck, “Mike Strike” older surburban, “Jacob Black Smack” rabbit, and the “Crowley Crush’em” for blue chevy astros.
I prefer Jacob in his human form, but before he had a werewolf form. He was pretty cool through the middle of New Moon. After he changed, though, his human form became really obnoxious and I prefer his wolf form.
I think everyone is selfish in this book. If Eclipse wasn’t going with the pattern of previous astronomy mood titles, this book should be called Selfish.
I like Jacob better in his wolf form. He is too bitter and cruel in his human form.
And I have so many crazy Twilight moments. I always giggle to myself whenever one comes up, or if someone who is aware of the Twilight significance is around me, then I tap them and share the joke. I have seen a silver Volvo in a parking lot and I sadly took a picture. I have even seen a 911 Turbo that was yellow. It was very exciting. I remember my friend called me once and as soon as I picked up, she screamed, “I JUST SAW A SILVER VOLVO!” I couldn’t get my ears to stop bleeding for a week.
I think its hard for guys who read the books to look at Jake the way female readers do. In twilight Edward was the cheif male character, he is the person who carrys the story despite not being the “main” character, our narriator, Bella, he is the character guys admire and latch onto at the begining of the series, so in the sequels they see jacob through edwards pov-as someone who’s trying to steal their girlfriend, or not their girlfriend, but you know they can relate.
So enter new moon were the guys’ eyes and ears leaves the picture in a noble attempt to give the woman he loves a better future only to see some new guy encroach upon his territory, even as a friend at first, and the guy feels betrayed and ticked and starts looking for reasons to hate the charcter, in this case jake. there’s nothing wrong with jake in new moon, or at least the beginning of new moon, just lik in twilight hes a friendly kid with a crush but is sweet and does listen.
But then something crazy and unreal shakes the core of his world and he’s angry, bitter and sad and all he wants is for the girl he loves to realize she loves him back. feelings are confused and signals crossed and when it all comes down to it the only way he feels he can get things done is saying what he means, even if it means coming off like a jack-ass. this is the state he’s in in new moon, feeling resentful and hollow from changing from what he always was…he’s different, but still the same.
When hes human he can express these feelings coiled around like an angry snake inside of him, the joy that has always radiated in jake like a bright sun has fallen under clouds and so when he is a wolf, its almost freeing, the emotions are dulled and he can just relax and enjoy what he cant control. this is jake in eclipse.
in breaking dawn jake has a lot of thoughts about control but they all end up being for nothing, he is able, or rather forced depending on how you view imprinting, to do what he did in eclipse with his wolf form, relax and enjoy what he cant control. what he no longer wants to control. he is the jake we all know and love agian and all is well.
so I guess in my long drawn out way I’ve said in Twilight I liked him as Jacob, for what he was, just human at the time, but his true self.
In New Moon I liked him as a human more, his aggression and pent up anger and anxiety over what he had become was too close to the surface as a wolf.
In Eclipse I liked him more as a wolf because he was happier, and more himself in that form, not because he was forced to listen or anything like that.
In breaking dawn it didnt matter, he became jacob again, his true self, the one we met in twilight, and I like that better regardless of his form.
this really wasnt meant to be so long but while Im on the subject I have to bring up the listening bit.
Edward is an amazing listener, its true he listens to bella more than anyone, but its how he reacts to what he hears thats well wrong, he expects her to react the way that he imagines a human would, sure he picks up on the basic aspects of her character, her personality, he gets that, but how she reacts to things? maybe he hasnt guessed it but all humans react differently to situations, and bella reacts like bella.
jake doesnt listen as much, but he doesnt need to, he can relate to her like she is, the way she does react. he watches and listens to that. not as much as edward, but enough to know more about the way she IS.
ultimately this doesnt matter, the whole blinded love thing applies for bella too, she will always see edward as perfect, all the perfect things about him will stand out to her and thats okay, I love bella and edward together, I always wanted them to be together, but I also wanted jake happy too, for his sake though, not jsut to get him out of the way.
Im rambling now, but I did want to get across that jake listens too, not as much as edward does, but enough.

ps, I have double takes on twilight related themes all the time, I dont freak out or scream or anything, but everyday there is some parallel that can put me in the “twilight zone” for a minute.
😀 again, melissaturkey
I’m not answering the first question because I like Jacob either way. His… straight-forwardness(?) is what sets him apart from Edward, so I don’t mind. But I’m still Team Edward.
As for weird reactions, my best friend was driving me home one time. I had told her how THE Volvo lived in my neighborhood. We had just drove by the house to see if it was there, but it wasn’t. On the way to my house, it passed us on the street. We both screamed or heads off and I hit her in the process, causing her to swerve into the other lane and almost hit the Volvo. We almost died of laughter, humiliation, and a car crash at the same time.
Hehe 🙂 Sometimes, I like Jake better in his wolf form. Mostly, when he’s being pushy and annoying 🙂 Tehe. I love Jake though. He’s amazing both ways! And as for the other question, yes. Just the other day, my mom and I were talking about something that had to do with Twilight (I really don’t remember what though), and I look up to see a shiny silver Volvo. It was the same model as Edward’s too. I half-giggled, half-gasped. I go, “Mom! It’s Edward’s car!” and then she laughed at me. It was quite ironic though. Discussing Edward, and then looking up to see his exact car sitting right in front of you. Hehe 😉 I’m not as bad as some of my friends, though. One time, one of my friends and I were walking past Hot Topic, and a bunch of Twilight adds were in the window, along with a new Jacob shirt. She started hyperventilating in front of the store. It was really embarassing, so I tried to pull her away, and she fell down. So I literally had to drag her away from the store. I am not joking. Haha 🙂 I’m waaay more obsessed than she is, so it sort of doesn’t make sense that I was the one dragging her away. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I have more self-respect than she does 🙂
I like Jacob in his wolf form better because as Bella says “I’m pretty sure it’s because you can’t talk.” Whenever Jake says something now in the book, he’s either hitting on Bella or dissing Edward. That doesn’t work for me.
And of course I freak out everytime I see a Volvo! who deosn’t! Even if it’s not a Silver S60, I still freak out. I was watching Zathura last night, and at the end when the Mom comes to pick them up, shes was driving a Volvo! It freaked me out!
I also freaked out when we studied anaphase, prophase, etc. & the krebs cycle in class. And later this year, we’re going to do blood-typing! YAY!
My friends and I have the best reactions when it comes about twilight related things. One day, a few years ago, we were driving by an old house and my friend’s mom mentioned that that house was made of marble. Well my friend started screaming, spazzing, and jumping in the car while also hitting our other friend next to her. It was one of the funniest and scariest moments of my life. My friend’s moms reaction was great because she was not expecting that from her daughter. My other friend however did receive some bruises from that incident though, I was lucky and was in the front seat and instead of being attacked I just coured in the front seat. We have had many other moments but “the marble moment” which we have coined it is before the best one we have had. And I do like Jacob in his wolf form better he is less of a jerk!! But… Team Edward all the way!!
I like him both ways as wolf or human. Every time I ‘m reading something and the word dazzled comes out I think about Twilight. And when I see volvos or jeeps I think about even it also with “Bella’s” truck.
I like Jake better as a wolf. Those Twilight relating things I have toose on a daily baseis. I was in World Civ. on day and we were taking a pretest on the Renassance and one of the questions was “What is the name of Micheal Angalo’s famous staute.” I knew what it was before I even looked at the awenser options. And today it is raing here and it thundered and my sister freaks out because hates the thunder, and I trun to her and say “Chill the it’s just the Cullens playing baseball.
I’m indifferent to Jacob’s forms.
And just like everyone else, I completely flip out when I see something Twilight related:
-A silver Volvo. There’s one right down the street. I freak everyday when my bus passes it on the way to school.
-A red M3. Saw one at McDonalds the other day. I went absolutely insane.
-A yellow Porsche. I have yet to see one of those. But I can imagine my reaction now…
-Volleyball and/or badminton. We’re playing volleyball in gym class. I suck at it just as much as Bella does.
-Any map. I will immediately circle Forks, Washington; Denali, Alaska; Houston, Texas; Jacksonville, Florida; Phoenix, Arizona; and Italy.
-A wolf, a bear, a mountain lion, etc.
-Apples, chess pieces, flowers, and ribbon.
-Clair de Lune.
-Paper cuts, plane tickets, car stereos, ballet, pink candles, pizza, Cheerios, blue dresses, Poptarts, shoelaces, gas stations. Absolutely anything and everything that is mentioned.
–Erika–
Heck yes! I was driving with my mom, and we came across “Edward.St” and I made her get out at take a picture of me standing beside it!
Also, I simply don’t like Jacob in general; which includes both wolf and human…
But if I had to choose, it would be wolf. Because I agree with bella: The fact that he can’t talk when he is in wolf form is amazing 😀
Friday I was on my geology class and we were looking about tectonic crusts and that kind of stuff. It’s one of those classes with 150 people and we take it in a auditory. Well the teacher asked “Where can we find granite?” and without thinking I just said “In Edward Cullen”. It was so embarrassing. Most of the people just looked at me weird since they didn’t know what I was talking about but I still heard some laughs around me.
I like Jake better in his human form, he’s funnier.
Haha, the bit from Alan Jackson’s song cracked me up. =P
To answer the questions… I’m an Edward fan. I prefer Jacob as a werewolf. He can’t really say or do anything stupid that will make me dislike him even more. Lol.
And wow. I find something related to Twilight everyday! Just yesterday I was shopping and saw a store called Fire and Ice and immediately had to take a picture. And I am constantly on the lookout for a yellow Porsche. (That’s not just because of Twilight though. It’s a nice car, too.) =P
I prefer Jake in his human form. He’s funnier and less hairy. In my opinion, dogs are nice to visit, but I wouldn’t want one for a pet.
As for freak-outs, has anyone ever noticed how often the word ‘twilight’ appears in “Jane Eyre”? It was mildly distracting. My friends accuse me of talking like the books, and I must admit that the other day my stomach growled and I said to myself, “Lunchtime for the human.” Oops…
Ah, I have those “TWILIGHT!” moments all the time. I can relate almost anything to Twilight. And my friend is a Team Edward freak (I’m Switzerland) so once while we were riding our bikes, we played a game were we had to screech EDWARD! at the top of our lungs every time we saw ANY Volvo. Volvos are surprisingly popular where I live. *grumbles something involving sore throats and stupid, shiny Volvos*
Anyway, I love Jacob as a human and a wolf. He can be a pain as a human, but he is FUNNY. To a person with my sense of humor. Ah, sarcasm and irony. How I love them so.
i always have twilight moments. lol.. on a daily bases.
About two weeks ago my sophomore biology class did that same lab. All of the girls in my grade were freaking out.
As I am a strong and lyal member of Team Edward, I do like Jacob better in wolf form because he can’t talk! What a blessing! His mouth can’t make Bella feel guilty or hurt in any way. She can just use him as a pillow and an ear to listen to her troubles and all is well. I totally agree with you Kaleb! Love cannot be true unless the other is willing to listen deeply to the other and sacrifice everything they have in order to make the other happy! Very deep!
And, YES, of course! I flip out every time I see ANY Volvo even if it is not silver! Once I almost cried with joy when I was reading a random novel for school and saw both the words twilight and Volterra on the same page! What are the odds?!
And every time Ocean’s Eleven is on T.V. I have to wait and watch until the ending just to hear the Clair de Lune song! I am sadly obsessed and gladly admit it. I scream and jump up and down every time I see or hear anything Twilight-related. I saw a sparkly chandelier today and wished it was Edward instead!
Wolf. Definitely wolf. For the reasons you just said. He can’t TALK. It’s like Jacob is lacking that mental filter than chooses what you say and what you don’t. As a wolf, he just can’t say anything, so the filter is not missed.
And don’t worry, it’s okay, because I do the exact same thing. Every time “dazzle” or “masochistic” turns up, I chuckle. I can’t take Jane Eyre as seriously as I normally would whenever I see Mr. Rochester’s first name: Edward. Especially since Edward Rochester and Edward Cullen, while there are similarities (after all, Steph said Edward is a mix of Mr. Darcy – yum -, Mr. Rochester -laugh-, and Gilbert from Anne of Greene Gables -eh-), they are VASTLY different.
But there I go, ranting again.
It is probably a little bit of both. But, there’s no way you can get around it. ‘Tis everyone’s nature, whether you’re a human, vampire, or Superman, to be selfish. It’s the entire reason that the word ‘evil’ is in the dictionary.
At first, I didn’t like Leah. I thought she was being very spiteful in the third book. But hold your final judgment until you get to Breaking Dawn. That’s all I’ll say.
Anyway, I’m excited! The next chapter, while I have no absolute favorite, comes pretty close to being it.
I’m a huge Team Edward girl. (I actually received a shirt for Christmas that reads, “Stupid Lamb”) So, I definately like Jake better as a wolf. Although, I didn’t like Jake much at all until the end. He is able to comfort Bella better as a wolf, because he is so close to his “original” personality. I really love this scene, as you said…the calm before the storm.
As for all things “Twilight” making me do a double take, or flutter alittle…that happens all of the time. As soon as I finished reading all four books my AP English teacher announced that the next book we would be studying was Wuthering Heights, which is Bella’s favorite book. So in reading that, I found quotes from in that were in Twilight. Also in my AP English class we were analyzing poetry. A beautiful Robert Frost poem was on the list, Fire and Ice, which is the poem in the front of Eclipse. I start when I hear the name Edward, or see someone with golden brown eyes. It’s sad, but true.
I like Jacob in both forms for different reasons. In his human for he is funny and outgoing where as his wolf form is just plain awsome 😛 and is sweeter in a way.
Ahahaha yes. My biology class did the mitosis lab the other week. I was so excited.
and….I can’t wait for you to read the next chapter xD
There has been many things I have seen after reading twilight, but one moment that i remember was when watching Eleventh Hour, at the end of one episode. a mother was going to name her baby Edward, but after meeting Jacob Hood, she was thinking that Jacob would suit the name of her baby as well. simple names, simple coincidence, but i couldn’t help but laugh out loud the fact that the baby would be name, either way, by someone from twilight, and the fact that is was between two characters that have teams for them. 😛
and thus, the battle between Edward and Jacob continues……maybe……:D
I like Jake better when he is in his wolf form b/c he doesn’t say as much 😛
I also act strangely whenever I recognize something Twilighty in real life, like seeing a silver Volvo or a yellow Porsche. I say to myself, wouldn’t it be cool if Alice or Edward were driving those cars? LOL. Then I would recall reality. Like yesterday I was watching 20/20 and they were covering a story about a plane crash survivor. I immediately thought about Edward and Bella’s conversation about being the two luckiest plane crash survivors in history and I began to laugh to myself. It was strange because stories like that usually make me very sad. I became sad later on because several people died before they were able to get out of the emergency exit of the plane.
I guess I like Jake better human, though I am Team Edward. He’s more interesting that way, while when he’s in wolf form, he can be a bit dull.
Many times. I start freaking out, and I kind of scream quietly haha
Wolf form definetly, he can’t talk! As for Twilight moments I have a lot of them actually. Mostly that my friend’s behicle is a really old and beat up volvo. I have decided that Edward’s car and Bella’s truck got jiggy with it and out came this… Thing
definitely like jacob better in his wolf form cause he can’t talk! 😉
i’m not that obessed with twilight. i don’t have time for anything else than studying really, i’m in law school!!!! 🙂 i’ve actually just discovered your site. but i do go a little crazy with twilight-related things. two weeks ago, i was at a restaurant with a few friends. i hadn’t read the whole menu cause i loved something on the first page. one of my friends ordered mushroom ravioli. of course, i froze and, of course, it was MY turn to order! …
I have a LOT of twilight moments. Anything will remind me of a part in the books or movie. It gets ridiculous actually I’m not going to lie.Like one time I went to Big Bear and there was a shop called Jasper’s antiques. I just smiled to myself and thought of my fav twilight character.
I think Jakes better in wolf form even thought he can be pretty funny as a person.
I suppose I prefer Jacob in his human form, even though I am very Team Edward. There is just something strangely creepy to me about the werewolf form.
I always react when I see, or hear something that in some way is related to Twilight. One time I was driving with my sisters on the freeway, and we all just suddenly noticed a blue Volvo in front of us. We couldn’t see if it was an S80, or an S60 and got into this huge debate over which one it was. So, in order to find out for sure, we sped up behind the car so we could read it… Then the guy who was driving it looked into his rear-view mirror and saw us (at this point everyone had leaned forward, squinting to see) and promptly sped away. I saw the look on his face before this, and the guy looked completely freaked out. Turns out the guy was one of our neighbors. Since then I have tried not to react so much when I notice such things.
I like Jacob in his wolf form. He is like the jake before he found out he was a wolf and the cullens. I like him better when a wolf.
Yes I have freaked when I saw something twilight related. I saw a black mercedes and freaked and then saw a yellow porshe. I screamed alice. also the silver volvo. we were heading back from the airport and i saw volvo looked over and screamed when I saw a silver volvo. Also when I saw a grizzley bear and moutain lion. Also we are singing this song in choir and it says twilight on this one line and I freaked out in the middle of class lol
I LOVE Edward and am totally TEAM EDWARD but lately I’ve been ‘sorta’ Team Jacob becasue he got the crappy end of the stick. Plus, Edward gives Bella too many limits. Anyways,I have “Twilight moments” ALL the time!
OH THERE is this street name as Jasper on this road. I took a picture and now its my new screen saver.
*fangirl scream* you just basically claimed your official title as a twilighter. you are going to have to change the banner at the top of the site now………
and of course ive done odd things when something reminds me of twilight in real life. usually it involves me saying “ow” because it hurts that twilight isnt actually real.
also– this one time– we were riding home from watching twilight in the theater (for the 4th time) and while passing a car on the highway, i suddenly recognized it. it was a shiny silver volvo. exactly like what is in the movie– this was the first time i have EVER been able to tell WHAT a car was from the rear view! (I dont speak car and driver) it was amazing!
it is scary how much in real life relates to the books. that is one reason i love the series soooo much. its similar to reality, yet it has a HUGE twist. simply amazing.
also, i think i favor jacob in his human form as compared to his wolf form.
I prefer Jacob in his human form, even though I am very Team Edward. Jacob is funnier in human form and less hairy. I’m not a fan of hairy. :]]
As for the reacting thing….ALL THE TIME!
I was playing Taboo with my family and friends. I don’t know if you know what that is but if not just google it. It’s a game. Anywho…the word was Adrenaline…and we were trying for the winning point.
I totally said this:
“The word Edward told Bella to google.”
and my sister knew what I was talking about. WE WON!!! YAY!!!
I like Jacob in his wolf form in Eclipse and I like him normal in New Moon. I also like him in Breaking Dawn after he imprints on Nessie. I dislike (I won’t say hate, much) him in Eclipse because he’s not being sensitive to Bella.
I like Jake better in wolf form. I’m not sure why, but I do. And yes, I often react strangly when I see anything twilighty. Just today, I saw a shiny silver volvo, and actually shrieked a little.
Hmmm…I like Jacob in both forms. When he’s human he can make his snarky comments that make me laugh, but that has it’s setbacks, because you’re right Kaleb, he doesn’t listen. And he acts like a jerk. But as a wolf, I can also feel that warmth, and I can see pre-wolfy Jacob from New Moon.
And don’t even get me STARTED on me flipping out over Twilight-y stuff. I down-right SQUEALED. I’m in college, and one of the faculty members happens to own a silver Volvo S60R. I saw it in the parking lot and I squealed. VERY LOUDLY. Like, so loud people stopped to stare at me and thought I was a bloody lunatic. And I freak out every time I see a silver Volvo. And I’ve seen the Volvo they used in the movie and I was on the freeway and coming back from the grocery store with my mom and I screamed, “OH MY GOD IT’S EDWARD’S CAR!!!!!” I scared my mom. Haha. And THEN, I’ve seen Carlisle’s Mercedes, and I’ll randomly shout, “Carlisle’s car!” Then, every Porsche I see, I have to check if it’s a 911 Turbo. But one day I saw a yellow Porsche and I almost demanded for my mom to follow it as she was driving because I HAD TO KNOW if it was Alice’s Porsche. Then in the weeks before “Twilight” was in theatres, I took pictures of every billboard, poster, and advertisement of “Twilight” I saw. And when I saw people reading the books, I would stop them randomly and talk to them. I’m sure there’s loads of other crazy stuff I’d do, one of which was taking pictures with the Edward cardboard cut-out in the UCI bookstore hehe…but there’s so many incidents of my fangirlish craziness that I can’t remember them all x__x;;
Normally, I wouldn’t leave a comment this far down on the page, but I just had to share the Volvo game.
The Volvo game is like the slug bug game. The first person to see the Volvo and call it gets a point. Our other friends laugh at us for it, but we don’t care.
To date we’ve seen two S60Rs. The first was outside of Barnes and Noble (The greatest place to see one, right?). Because it was dark out, we couldn’t agree on whether it was navy or black. We were so excited that we ended up spending the next ten minutes taking photos of the car.
The second one was red and parked across from us at Sonic on a rainy day. That time we got so excited that our bouncing shook her car. If that didn’t catch the attention of the other people there, our screaming certainly did.
Something tells me if we ever see a silver S60R, we’ll probably explode and die. Rest assured though, it will be a happy death. 😀
My best friend is my Bella and I’m her Alice. We make Twilight references out of everything.
in science lab me and my friend zanny freaked when we had to do the same exact lab.she never understood that part till then so she was super hyper.
Probably the funniest twilight related moment I had was a few months ago, when I was helping a friend’s daughter to study biology for a test, and the main subject was cell theory, and there was an entire chapter of the text book that talked about the Krebs cycle… When I read that, I coulldn’t stop the giggles!
