In an artikulo sa pamamagitan ng the New York Times, aside from creating a world-wide phenomena, Twilighters around the world has also out the small town of Forks, Washington on the map. The small loging town, who only has two stop lights, have garnered fame through the popularity of the Twilight books, the four-part book series that is penned sa pamamagitan ng may-akda Stephenie Meyer. Now, the town serves a “mecca” to Twilighters who have gathered in town to feel the Twilight experience.
Here is an excerpt of the article:
Over the last taon or so, Forks (population 3,120) has morphed into a mecca for Twilighters, or Twihards as they are sometimes called. Visitors to this rainy town, whose main industries are logging and two correctional facilities, have madami than tripled for the first eight months of this year, compared with the same period last year, according to the local Chamber of Commerce. Lodging occupancy is up, and local merchants sell little-vampire pacifiers and Bella and Edward action figures.
“You used to say you were from Forks and people would stare,” sinabi Marcia Bingham, director of the Chamber of Commerce, referring to the “B.T.” (“Before ‘Twilight’ ”) days. “Now when they hear where you’re from, they’re breathless.”
And teenage girls aren’t the only ones hyperventilating. Women — traveling in packs, in pairs or on their own — make up a big part of those on the “Twilight” trail. Susan Englin, a retiree from Colbert, Wash., who has read the books seven times and has downloaded the movie to her iPod, was visiting stepchildren in the area recently and couldn’t resist an outing to Forks. “I get caught up in the characters,” she said.
All araw long, cars pull up to the Forks visitor center, across the kalye from a drag-racing track, and people pile out, snapping mga litrato of “Bella’s” old red pickup truck parked in front. Inside, tourists grab maps pinpointing Forks High School, where Bella and Edward first lock eyes in the cafeteria; City Hall, where Bella’s police-chief father works; and the driftwood-strewn tabing-dagat in nearby La Push where the character Jacob, a member of the local Quileute tribe, first informs Bella that Edward and his family are “blood drinkers.” (He should talk — in the segundo book Jacob and his pals turn into werewolves.)
And then they’re off, braking at the sites and trolling the nondescript main drag, lined with one- and two-story buildings occupied sa pamamagitan ng shops with signs shouting “Twilighters Welcome!”

it's about bella's and edward's wedding night
My dream araw was here
i was glad and excited
i felt like my life's meaning was clear
to walk down the isle with my sweet prince
i thank god for this gift
edward pag-ibig of mine,
tonight i'm yours for the first time
just to think about it
sends shivers down my spine
put your cold hand in mine
so i can ipakita you the way to a place you've never been
right there on my body
felling a way a woman should feel
when you touch me
when you halik me
when you're deep inside me
the cold, the pain nothing matters
this night will not be in vain

The on-screen couple recently lit up the red carpet at the Twilight premiere on Monday night with the rest of the cast.
An insider reveals the secrets behind the set about the couple to the magazine: “Kristen and Rob bonded from the moment they met. They got along so well that people were convinced they were secretly in love. She [Kristen] and Rob had a lot in common, and it didn’t take long for them to develop a very close relationship.”
The insider also had to share: “They were very touchy-feely around each other and they seemed to share a lot of inside jokes.”
Maybe there’s madami than just movie magic going on, but we highly doubt it. Kristen, 18, has been dating actor Michael Angarano for, as she puts it, “forever.”
in the mood to be walang tiyak na layunin again. *sighs*
I wrote a artikulo Last week on how Twilight found me, saying that the Cover did in fact haunt me.

I'm Obsessed it's true, but this is turning scaryyyyy
I'm a disney tagahanga okay, majorly and well..i was watching "101 Dalma.." you know, anyways, i was watching it to get my mind off of Twilight for once...
and something just jumped up in my face i thought i would share.
one of the Charaters is named Jasper.
the "Call" that the Aso do at night to send a message, is called
TWILIGHT Bark.
yeah...am i going insane? i think so..only i put in "21" with Jim surgess okay..and at the end of the movie he did something completely crazy he sinabi a line from the Book.
"so, do i Dazzle you?"
I decided to turn off the TV and go to bed..sad thing is, the only thing i dream about is Edward.

Okay so I was watching an interview that Twilight Lexicon did with Taylor Lautner when they were filming the scenes in La Push.
(you can watch it here link)
Taylor talks about the general things, what they're filming etc. We also find out that he's giving the truck to Bella.
And then it gets interesting.
Near the end he mentions the werewolf transformations, and how he wants to know what he's going to look like. He also says that hair and make-up and wardrobe are having meetings with the director.
Hmmm..do you think that we'll see the mga asong lobo in this movie, or will there be a New Moon movie? Fingers-crossed!
Tell me what you think please.

I have recently visited Stephenie's Official site. I have become indefinitaly horrified.
Midnight Sun has been postponed indefinitaley.
Because stupid wh*r*es have posted up the beloved work of Midnight Sun that Stephenie had ibingiay them with trust.
I am completely speechless with anger and sadness.
But, thankfully, and unfortunately, Stephenie has posted up the whole rough draft that was incomplete onto her Official site. I can't believe who would be so cruel as to not even care about the author's right and post up Midnight Sun with no authorization.
I deeply regret what has happened. I can't even imagine how hurt Mrs. Meyer is, but I hope she can come back from this awful experience.
