Lisa: happy birthday to me!
Blake planned an incredible Twilight birthday party for me with Sarah's help, complete with blood-red drinks,
goody bags including glittery vamp-skin lotion,
and a huge cake depicting a vampire/werewolf battle.
Oh, and of course we saw the movie, which was kind of awesomely serious and cheesy and mockable.
My only disappointment? Not getting to see Edward's enormous, satin-draped bed. Oh, and the fact that the restaurant staff somehow got the impression that I'm a rabid Twilight fan.

Posted by: Marci on November 23, 2008 12:50 PMNo, you're totally right. And I would watch it again, especially if the movie was projected up onto a wall and there were snacks and props and possibly an interactive game of some kind.
Posted by: lisa on November 23, 2008 01:18 PMIt sounds fun! I wish I would have been able to go. Instead, I was at a Twilight-themed book discussion party where the general consensus was that the movie was so bad it was good. I kept getting the giggles during the movie (especially when Jacob's dad gave Edward the stink-eye and anytime Jasper's face appeared on screen) and I was pleased that most of the audience was snickering right along with me.

The movie is super cheesy and takes itself too seriously. But I'd still make out with Edward.
