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).

Jacob wouldn’t be Jacob without BOTH forms. It makes him who he is – defines him. Can’t have one form without the other.
As for Twilight freak-out moments – I’ve had my share. Tonight, my hub and I went to a movie and waited while the credits ran, there was someone named Cullen – I didn’t freak outwardly, but inside I was like WOW!!
And, there are a couple of ladies here in Utah that sell Essence of Twilight scents and lotions – yeah, I have some….I can smell like Alice, Edward, Bella or Jacob on any given day. They also have lip gloss for Edward (icy mint) and Jacob (hot cinammon) mmmmmmm.
Safe to say, I’m quietly fixated. 😉
TEAM JACOB!!!!!!!!! i like him better in his human form. and that is ttly nt true! He listens to Bella, but it’s just that sumtimes what shes saying hurts!! and that picture was really annoying i thought you said your team switerzerland!!! TEAM JACOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every time I see a cougar or mountain lion (on TV, etc) – I think “Edward’s favorite”. And when I see other vampire shows, I find myself thinking “No, that’s not how vampires are…”
I like Jake in his wolf form, for sure. He does seem more at ease, and as others have mentione, he can’t talk and say something stupid to ruin the whole moment! LOL
My Twilight freak out moment has to do with the movie, more then the book. There are a few people in my neighborhood that drive the Jeep like Emmett has in the movie, and everytime I see it my heart jumps, for no reason at all. I know that it not the *real* Jeep, and each time it happens I feel like a complete dork. LOL Oh well.
i definitely prefer jacob in wolf form, because he doesn’t listen to bella when he’s human..he’s just making some dumb remark to make her mad or trying to kiss her… when he’s a wolf he can’t do anything but sit there and listen, nod his head…
i have twilight moments every day… i smile like a dork when i see the cars, after we saw the movie for the first time we all went to IHOP, and for about 5 minutes my sister and i thought the song on the radio, which was acoustic guitar, was going to be rob pattinson’s never think. i don’t know why but it really, really sounded like it to us…it was crazy…and the waiter saw my sister drink her coke fast, and she brought her another. we were about to fall out of the booth we were laughing so hard because it reminded us of twilight, when they went to port angeles.
I think the primary reason I don’t like Jacob Black is because his human form DOES get in the way of himself! Yes, he may care for Bella, but he doesn’t care for her in the way that Edward does, as you mentioned.
Contrarily, it’s difficult to ignore the fact that Jacob knows Bella so well in a way that Edward doesn’t understand, and that wouldn’t be possible without Jacob’s personality to bring that to light.
So… because Jacob is such a jerk most of the time because of his obsession with her supposedly being in love with him, there is nothing strong enough that positively sets the balance. In my mind, it doesn’t even break even.
my twilight moment was when my (non-twilight obsessed) friend was freaking out about her exam and franticly said ‘Distract me!’ to which i happily replied ‘ I’m going to run over Tyler Crowley tommorow before school”!
she didnt quite get it… but well it distracted her 🙂
oh and theres a suburb near my house called Carlisle:)
my school was going to the career center and me and my friend were sitting next to each other and the bus stopped at the train tracks and i looked out the window and there was a silver volvo sitting in a driveway i told my friend and she started freaking out and screaming and we both ended up getting detentions because we were at train tracks and were supposed to be quiet.
Ok, yes i completely and utterly fangirl freak whenever something even remotely twilighty ever comes in my vicinity.Things such as: i see ANY volvo(not even shiny silver!), i read the word twilight in anything, i see eclipse gum, i see anything about mitosis , we talk about the spainish influenza in history class, or last but not least i see the name Edward ANYWHERE…i seriously have twilight fangirly issues.(oh theres also a store i know called Cullen’s lol)
Yes, scarily, I do jump when I see a Volvo, etc.
And when I figured out we were doing mitosis in Biology… Well, safe to say I was VERY annoyed that I missed the identifying-slides practical!
The Jacob getting rid of Edward picture was hilarious!!!
I like Jacob better as wolf because he’s like a pet dog, kinda. He’s gonna be there for you when you need him, and will gladly protect you. And you don’t have to put off with some of the annoying things that come out of his mouth. But at the same time, I’d much rather have human company than an animals. So…I’m kinda torn in the middle for your question.
And I have reacted strangly when encountered with Twilight stuff. Like one time they put up a Twilight poster for the libary and I couldn’t help smile because it seemed like Twilight was taking over the school. I had seen a silver volvo once too; it took me a while to stop staring. =D
ha ha I know it’s really bad but when in church I was flipping through a bible waiting for it start when I saw the names Jacob, Rachel, Rebekah and Leah. In Twilight Jacob has two sisters Rachel and Rebecca and a “friend” I guess you can call her for lack of better name, Leah. In the Bible Jacob (from the story Jacob and Esau) has a mother named Rebekah and two wives Leah and Rachel. I reacted by barely containing a squeal but jumping up and down in my seat.
(I like Jacob better human, I disagree that he doesn’t listen because look at new moon he knew not to say Edwards name to her and that she doesn’t like music without her telling him. He does listen, he does care, he’s just frustrated and angry. Which you can tear him down for all you want because we all secretly enjoy the sarcastic comments resulting from that)
lol loved the little part with the Alan Jackson song in it!!!!! it’s rare country music is incorperated with Twilight… well unless of course you’re Taylor Swift or something. 😀 I also liked the comic too even though I’m totally on the side of the vampires… or at least the good ones 😀
Kaleb –
I too was one of those people saying I wouldn’t become one of ‘those’ fans. My mom and sister roped me into reading the first and I had the remainder of the saga read in a week. I can’t decide whether Jacob is better in either form because as a wolf he doesn’t have any speech to Bella and he simply shows more emotion. You can sit and pet him and it would probably be the best conversation you’ll ever have. His mouth takes flight when he’s human. As recognizing Twilight things outside the book I received a phone call a while ago. I picked it up, as usual, and said, ‘hello?’. The other end was a male voice, younger sounding, and very amiable. It say, “Hey, Allison. It’s me. Jacob.” To my surprise, I stood there trying to remember how to breathe and how to respond. My brain flipped through a million questions but the first was “I don’t know anyone named ‘Jacob’ but Jacob Black”. All i could spit out was ‘uh…hi?’ Pretty impressive when one of the men in your dreams gives you a call and all you can spit out it a meager ‘hi’. It turned out it was a ‘Jacob’ that I had had in a class on campus who was looking for a piano accompanist for his voice lessons. As crazy as it may sound I was honestly convinced that it was Jacob Black. I immediately called my Twilight friends and told them. They laughed, too. So never fear. We are just like you and are enthrawlled with this incredible book. Good luck with your own book. I am excited to read it and enjoy another amazing story!!
Mia Banana, you’re from NZ too?? I love vodafone select, and I voted for Decode everyday! Just shows the power of the Twilighters, even in NZ 😀
Anyway, I am Team Edward, and I think I like Jake in his Human form, because I find it really hard to get my head around the fact that it is really Jacob inside the body of a huge wolf. And I like the way he and Bella interact with each other as humans, even though he can be a total jerk sometimes.
Also, Twilight experiences… When I moved to the U.S, and had my first day at school, I had this weird almost Deja vu feeling. First period, this guy with short spiky blond hair came up to me and said “Hey you’re the new girl, Kate right? I can help your find your classes if you like.” I was like okay, weird. Mike Newton is in my class.
I also see Twilight related signs all the time, there is a “JASPER & JASPERS” store near my house, and an Emmett street in my hometown, along with an Edward Avenue.

Your question made me laugh, because I live in Sweden, where volvos comes from. Here volvos are so common that if I payed special attension to every silver volvo I saw my life would get rather tiersome… 🙂
I always react when I see twilight related things.
I was never really good in bio, but then we got on cells, prophase anaphase and all that jazz and I couln’t not pay attention. When I can connect something to twilight or really any book I’ve read I pay attention a lot more. I ended up getting good grades in bio for the rest of the year. haha.
team edward all the way, jacob acts too jealous of edward and is selfish and as he tries to win bella over, he’s just hurting her more than ever, i am on team edward, edward treats bella like his queen and treats her like she needs to be, he protects her but not like jacob, edward protects her more romatically than jacob, i think jacob need to get La Pushed off a cliff =D
I don’t know if I prefer Jake as a human of a wolf. It’s not easy to imagine having a wolf as a friend. ^-^
I always look for a Volvo on the streets but there aren’t many here in Germany and they’re not even silver Q_Q
And I recently saw a Italian restaurant called Bella Italia. My friends thought I was crazy. I tried to make photos but it was to dark and…
Hmm, are you truly asking that? Have I ever freaked out over something “Twilight-y” in real life? Let’s see, I was with my cousins (all Twilight fans) and we were driving out to eat dinner and then this Volvo pulled in front of us and we all started screaming and laughing and my older cousin wanted to tail the car to see if it was Edward, lol. We cheer when we see apples/red and white flowers. I was at a craft store when I found a poster with a chess board on it and was like “OMG BREAKING DAWN.” I eat Cake Batter Ice Cream because Taylor Lautner does.
Oh, and, I like Jacob better as a human because he’s so much easier to kiss 🙂 I think the fangs/fur would get in the way a bit if he was a wolf.
Hey Kaleb!
Yes, I felt that same way when I read this chapter. It was as if the old Jacob was back. I liked this chapter too. It was as if the other new Jacob didn’t exist.
Yeah, I agree with you on that. Jacob doesn’t listen to Bella the way that Edward does. Edward listens to Bella. That is another reason why I love Edward! LOL!
Yes, I do stop whenever I see something twilight related. I did the same thing when we studied Mitosis last trimester. I just stopped in my tracks. I think I actually paid more attention to it this time too. :-p
Kaleb, I think it would be fasinating to do a poll which told the ages of who likes Jacob in which form. I have found other mothers, like myself, appear to be far more forgiving of him in human form than girls between the ages of 14 and 18. Also, whether boys or girls like him better and in which form. I myself love Jacob in both forms. In his human form he reminds me of my own 16-year-old son, with the witty comments and the smirks. And in his wolf form he reminds me of how my son was when he was younger, cuddly and happy to just be near you. I think it’s too easy to be critical when you haven’t been a teenage boy or are in the middle of dealing with teenage boys who are the same age (meaning teenage girls – mothers are still way more forgiving).
As for the Twilight moments, well, as a “mature” mother of four I try to contain myself. However, I have found myself saying “Its a silver volvo” out loud during morning carpool with 5 twilight teens in the back just as excited as we drive by. My daughter, an avid fan herself, has been quite embarassed by me and all of my friends come to me for the latest news – I too can turn anything into a Twilight moment! My favorite though would have to be the weekend before Thanksgiving. My daughter and I saw Twilight Friday morning with 24 of our closest friends from church and on Saturday she was flying out to her father’s house in Texas. After she boarded the plane I sat down and was reading Twilight (for the third time). The plane left the ground and I drove home. My daughter called right before I flipped on the Soundtrack and when I got off the phone I waited for a car to pass then got in the fast lane. “Super Sonic Black Hole” began to blare and I looked up to see I was following a Silver Volvo. To top it off, my husband had just texted me when I left the airport to “look for shiny silver volvos” which I finally saw about 2 minutes later. I tried to keep up, but alas the owner was driving like a Cullen and I do not (even on the freeway). I think the reason we are all obsessed with Twilight is because even though it is fantasy, it still encompasses everyday life and that is the fun – to see Twilight in everyday situations and imagine “what if”.
i prefer wolf jacob most definately because people seem to always be more themselves when they’re with animals. And in Biology once, we were studying viruses and the Spanish Influenze came up. I was giggling to myself because of the twilight reference and then my Bio teacher MENTIONED IT TO THE ENTIRE CLASS! She was a secret twilighter! Who would have thunk it?
i like jacob better as a werewolf cause then he cant talk. i really don’t like him, i don’t know why.
This year in science we studied the stages of mitosis of onion rootip cells (which is exactly what edward and bella do in twilight!) at first i thought it was wierd because they did it in grade 11 and i did it in grade 9, but then i started jumping with joy (cue half the class staring at me like wtf?) and my friends had to get me to calm down. i kept looking at the door waiting for my edward to walk in 🙂 (there are only 4 guys in my science class, none of the edward worthy)
comment #124, Camilla
the first song from the soundtrack is called super MASSIVE black hole, not super sonic black hole 😛
I don’t think, if I were in Bella’s position, that I would be able to stand Jacob Black in human form. But he’s alright as a wolf… and quiet too.
As for your other question…
I heard the song Ice Dance from Edward Sissorhands, and I am so pathetic that I came up with two lists of ways that it reminded me of Twilight…
1)Ice Dance- Edward Sissorhands- Jackson’s hair- Jasper
2)Ice Dance- Edward Sissorhands- His name is Edward
Yes, I am that lame.
Jake is better in his wolf form just because he cant talk. Every other word out of his mouth is dissing Eddie, and thats harsh, not only to Bella, but also to us TE’s.
And i freak out every time i see anything remotely related to twilight. Me and my friend were constantly yelling at one of our guy friends just becuase his name was jacob. And he didnt have a clue what was going on. plus, the same friend will use any possible scinerio to turn into a twilight analogy.
Well, to be perfectly honest, when I first read the books I wanted to run Jacob over with a bulldozer… (please don’t hurt me Jacob fans–it gets better!)
Now, I really like Jacob. I think that Taylor, being more open to him, rereading the series, and a few other factors have helped that… I can’t mention them all now and spoil you, but I’ve grown to like him and understand him like a friend, even though I’m completely devoted to Edward. 😀 I like Jacob as a wolf and human, human in NM and wolf in Eclipse. He does have some redeeming parts in Eclipse though, so that’s why I say both.
Twilight Moments? ARE YOU KIDDING? I have one EVERYDAY! Honestly, give me any word and I’ll find a way to relate it to Twilight… I relate tons of things to Twilight… and the other day I had this entire texting conversation with my friend Sam about how I have a secret lover, (she thought I was being serious) and I said the guy was Edward Cullen, and it went on for about a half hour until she realized I was talking about a FICTIONAL CHARACTER!!! It was hilarious 😀
For the Jacob question: For sure, as a wolf. If he’d naver phased at all, then maybe I’d like him. I was rereading Twilight the other day, I realized how cute Jacob was when he was still that normal sized sixteen year old. But then again, if he’d never changer then there would be no point in this question.
Yes, Yes, and Yes. I always react weirdly when Twilight related things come up. On the first day of high school, I met a girl named Alice, I turn to her and say “Do you realize that you have the same name as my favorite vampire?” We could bond about that, because she loved the book too! 🙂 I turn my head in the cafeteria everday because a girl who sits at the table behind us name is Bella, she has a habit of losing things so her name is called a lot. My science teacher looks freakishly like Rob Pattinson and he drives a silver Volvo (No, I’m not lying.) I had a mitosis moment too, when we were looking over the unit again, I was actually expecting a golden onion. 🙂 And every time I see a dent in a car, I wonder if a vampire did it.
People are kind of looking at me funny because I hear whenever something Twilight related happens, it’s like Edwards mind reading thing. I mistake words for twilight related ones in sentences, and I can pretty much relate Twilight to anyhing.
It really depends. Jake is sweeter when he cant talk but when he does talk a few nice things come out too. idk. I’m Team Edward all the way but i still like Jacob. but either way he’s still a d-bag in Eclipse.
On another note, yes, i go crazy any time i see anything Twilight-related. the other day I found a lion and lamb garden statue at Hobby Lobby and totally flipped out. so yeah, u can say i get a wee-bit excited 🙂
I like Jacob in his wolf form, but that might just be because I like furry animals.
About the everyday-twilight-related things… yeah, I tend to giggle a lot when I see anything that reminds me of Twilight. Especially today when I was reading this book called Percy Jackson and The Olympians, and Percy encountered these creatures called the “Empousai” which are basically vampires with one goat leg and one bronze leg, but anyways,he described their smile as “dazzling” and I was laughing for about 5 minutes. 🙂
haha. Jacob’s better in his wolf form in my eyes. His whole problem when he’s human is that he talks. he says the wrong things, says too much..yadda yadda. lol.
haha. Volvos…seen them. freaked out about them. I still flip and listen twice everytime is hear the ad on the radio saying that digital radios are being installed in all new VOLVOS MERCEDES AND BMW’S. ahh. that ad..lol. u can imagine i automatically think of the cars from twilight 😀
Hmmm…well I like Jacob both ways, although he makes me kinda mad in Eclipse.
As to the screaming fan girl thing…that’s totally me. I keep a look out for silver volvos. 🙂 Whenever there’s a cloudy day I like to call it a “good vampire day”. Haha! 🙂
Oh, Volvos…yes, I constantly stare at them now. I have always wanted one, even before reading the books. My dad has been looking into getting me one finally, but I was a little mortified when he told me he was possibly getting me the C30. The thought of pulling into the school parking lot with that thing is embarrassing. I would be publicly harrassed until I graduate. I would much prefer the S40 in BLACK, not silver. Haha.
Anyway…
Jake tends to make me fall in love with him all over again during Eclipse whenever he is in wolf form. It definately reminds me of New Moon Jacob. But, I can honestly say that I love Jacob Black in both human and wolf form.
As for Twilight moments, I have Jacob Black moments (on top of my Volvo moments): I have a huge dog who happens to be russet brown and I catch myself thinking of him as Jake when he “grins” (yes, Twilight is a curse and a blessing).
I just have to say that you are one of the most hilarious people ever!!!! I LOVE reading your blogs because I know that I will laugh every time! Keep it up!! <3 <3
The following is a list of vaguely Twilight-related things that cause me to hyperventilate/scream/babble incoherently.
1.) Words- twilight, eclipse, dawn, dazzle, snack, apple, art, or wolf. In ANY context.
2.) Names- Edward, Bella, Alice, Charlie, Jacob, or Robert.
3.) Cars- silver Volvos, red BMWs, Porsches, rusty old red Chevys, and black Mercedes.
4.) Miscellaneous- apples, red ribbons, Wuthering Heights, Romeo & Juliet, weddings, and pianos.
Hehehehe…. Anything Twilighty in real life? Oh, I’ve got one.
We are studying World War 1 in class and were watching a powerpoint made by our teachers. They stopped the powerpoint right at the year 1918… Sound familiar? When I saw that I had to burst into quiet giggles because I remembered that was the year Edward Cullen was dying of the Influenza wave. Obsessed, huh?
I also am starting to look for the big black books, because they are probably one of the Twilight series. Some people take the graphics off the book so nobody knows what they’re reading. But I do! If I look over their shoulder to read a page, I know exactly where they are in the book. Sometimes, not even a whole page. Then when they catch me I give them this conspiritorial smile and walk away. I must seem so creepy!
Kaleb, there are no other female werewolves. It doesn’t happen. Its only because of the enourmous number of vampires in the area that leah turned. Also, Embry doesn’t even know who his dad was…. sorry if that was a bit brusque, I’m a bit touchy when it comes to the pack, seeing as I’m their number 1 fangirl
I’m definitely a Team Jacob girl, but not for the same reasons as some. I don’t think Jacob and Bella should end up together or anything, I just love Jacob’s character. He’s probably my favorite in the whole series. He’s just so realistic to me. He’s irrational and he doesn’t hold anything back. I like that. But I probably prefer him in his wolf form. It just seems so natural for him. As much as he says he doesn’t like being what he is, I think he feels more comfortable that way.
I have experienced anything Twilighty in real life yet. 🙁
Ok, I had to post again because something sort-of Twilighty happened to me in class right after I posted the previous message.
I was in my Music History class and we were talking about Beethoven, and one of the guys said “moot point.” I actually laughed out loud, and the guy sitting next to me looked at me kind of weird. I know that’s not completely Twilighty, but I knew you would love it.
i once saw not one, but TWO ‘twilight cars’ parked against the curb while i was walking home. when i saw edwards silver volvo and then alices yellow porsche right behind it, i actually screamed out loud (something along the lines of “ome theyre here!!”)and stopped walking to look at the cars. unfortunately, it was a fairly busy sidewalk, and im sure i freaked everyone out… they probably wondered why i was out of the mental hospital lol… oh well
to Jen- thats awesome! ive done something like that once or twice too, but not a lot of guys around here read twilight, and the guys are usually the only ones that dont want to admit theyre reading a ‘girly’ book
I’m Team Switzerland. I can’t decide whether I like Jacob in his wolf form better or human form better… I love him in his wolf form because Bella feels more comfortable around him then. But I love him in his human form because then he can show Bella how human he can be, something Edward can’t always do.
In my English class, we are learning some Latin and Greek roots so we can take apart and understand bigger words. My class is made up of tons of twilighters, and I think we were able to make a twilight reference out of every word she gave us!! (She would tell us a Latin/Greek root word, and we’d have to give an example. So something like “re-” means again, so we could say “restart”)
Teacher says:
Volv= roll
Girls scream “VOLVO!!”
Bell= beautiful
Girls scream “BELLA!!!”
Also, one of our vocabulary words was the French term “savoir faire” which means basically to know what to say, what to do, and exactly when/how to say or do it. All the girls can be heard whispering to each other “EDWARD!!!” It was a very fun day for us twilighters. LOL
My girlfriends and I (all moms in our 20’s) went to see the midnight showing of Twilight and on the way home, I kid you not, we saw a silver Volvo driving home. I’ve had many “Twilight” moments IRL, too many to share them all. My favorite is probably when my husband and I went out for his birthday dinner at a steak place and the hostess announced, “Edward, table for 2” over the intercom. Hmmm, what would Edward order at a steak house? Something very rare, and an extra Coke. 🙂
tottaly team jacob!!
but i used to looove jake when he was just human.. i mean.. becoming a wolf has been hard 4 him.. it just change his life… and he was really happy before it happnd.. i think(as jake..) that bella feels more comfortable with the ¨furry jacob¨ is just because this one.. doesn’t.. puts any pressure on her… i mean.. it’s like.. when they are laying in the grass, cuddly and stuff, and yet, she doesn’t feel like she is doing anithing wrong, like when they were BF(and both human hehhe).. i think what bother bella the most(because of course that is NOT the only thing!, i mean i’m not stupid!)about the hole.. Jacob being all over her thing.. is that she doesn’t want to hurt Eddie.. plus he is goin too hard on her..(he deserved to be punched in the face… with a baseball bat..).. he is just doing it because he doesn’t want to loose her(REMEMBER… 4 jacob if bella:
ends up w/Eddi= Bitten= worst than dead).
well thats all..
bye
Kaleb when you said Jacob was harsh and that you prefer Edward cause he does everything to make Bella happy, well i have to voice a fact. Jacob talks to Bella exactly the way a person who trealy cares talks. He doesn’t sugar coat the bad stuff like Edward does. I would want my best friend even boyfriend to be straight forward with me even if it does make me upset. I guess it just depends on the person but wouldn’t you want the truth too? Still love your posts though, just had to add my opinion to it.
First,I think Jake is a jerk period! He doesn’t seem any different in either form. He has his moments were he’s nice, but then he’s rude.
Second, I have really reacted strangely when something reminds me of Twilight. I’ve seen the volvo from the movie, and the 1st time that happened I texted everyone. Hahaha! I was driving with my friends the other day and I stared at the car infront of us, and in the middle of the conversation I was like OMG it’s Edward’s Volvo!! They were like are serious! We were laughing. They love him too. There are songs from the movie that play on the radio and I’m like O Twilight song. Now-a-days anything that people say, I relate it to Twilight…It’s pretty sad…
O, and another thing. My Government/Economics teacher was talking about the Civil War and I was like OMG Japser was in the Civil War! Hahaha!
