The Epic Eclipse Chicago week!!! *squeee*

*takes a deeeeeppppp breath* Where do I start ? I had such a fantastic week, I don't even know where to begin and what I loved most.. Well let's start at the beginning!

June 30th last year I started this baby blog here. This is one fucking year ago - I can't believe it. When I started this blog I didn't know in what I got myself into, but now one year later I'm soo glad I did this! I've told you this before but my first comment ever was from cutie (SSTB) and then came onepushyfox, uhyesplease, and Annie. This all happened July 9th.

I still see myself smiling like an idiot because "Ohmygod, Icantbelieveit someone comment on my blog!!!!!!"...

Now, one year later I didn't loose contact with them - I meet them in Chicago to see Eclipse together!

Please, how freaking awesome is this???

Start cheering for me NOW!

The idea started half a year ago and involved an immmeeennnnsssseee planning from onepushyfox to get us all together. In the end we were 15 girls meeting all in Chicago to spend time chatting, giggeling, hugging ( a lot of hugging was involved) and seeing THE movie.

onepushyfox, uhyesplease, Betti,

Aimee, Susie, bierbeck, donnersun, Becky-Boddles,

Heather, Reanna, fragile little human,

Memory-Jean, FireCrotch, Bitches and me (obvious)

I give you the awesomantic agenda of this week, here we go : (I won't post any pictures to respect the privacy of the girls!)

Monday, 28th: Me is flying from Munich to Chicago ( thanks hubs for the buisness class ticket - I love you soooo much ...) pushy met me at the airport and the first thing we did was hugging. It was sooooo great to finally hug her for real and she is such a lovely person!

Short stop at my hotel where we also met uhyesplease and Betti ( who arrived earlier) - loooottttss of hugging again! Together, we went to pushys home where we also met her super lovely husband, he's so sweet! We met at a Hot Dog place to grab something to eat with donnersun, Bex, bierbec, Heather and her super cute son and husband. Later this evening fragile arrived with her awesome husband ( who is just soo great!!)

We had a wonderful evening at pushy's porch! We had wine and cigarettes (all things to make me happy) and we just talked and talked and talked. It never felt awkward it felt as if we'd know each other since forever. It was perfect !!!

Tuesday, 29th: After little to no sleep pushy, uhyesplease, Betti and me grabbed a Starbucks coffee and went outside for a cigarette. ( Well, Betti and me...) It was so perfect that my hotel had a Starbucks, thank god for this!!! The 4 of us went to lunch and just kept talking and talking... We went back to the hotel to get a nap before the big Eclipse party begins. Pushy came earlier to my room to set everything up - she's perfectly organized like this!

And then the biigg party started!!

Imagine 15 squeeing girls in oneeee big room! I was afraid when I first saw my room and I never ever thought we would all fit inside but we did. It was perfect!

We had a blast!!! (and I was glad no one came and told us to shut the F** up, I mean we were really loud! )

uhyesplease organized some games which were sooo much fun!!! Including a white elephant gift exchange which was sooooo great! Needless to say we giggles and laughed a.LoT !!!

Twilight and New Moon were playing in the back, but nobody watched except for the important scenes, like kissing scenes...*sigh*

Then, at 11pm we drove to the theater - and hell I was so excited! I mean, we waited for more than half a year and then finally the day is there and we gonna watch Eccclipsee!!!

Excited much? YES, sooo freaking much!

We had VIP tickets, valet parking so we didn't need to wait in line which was just perfect! Pushy (our lovely tour guide) even made a seating map. ( Gosh I love her!!)

After we grabbed seats, Popcorn and drinks and saw the epic Harry Potter trailer ( I had goosebumps all over me!) Eclipse begun.

Oh.My.Gosh.!

This.Movie.Is.Fucking.Fantastic!!!!! *squeeeeeee*

We had this biiiig huge sofa seats which was perfect! Pushy and me just clung to each other, holding hands ( we didn't even need those bigs seats.. *giggles*) and were just mesmerized by this freaking awesome movie!!! Stunning perfect!!!

This is the best movie of all of them, I can't believe how good it is!! And it was such a fast moving movie, we barely had time to catch a breath! Just.Perfect!!! It was over way too fast ...

When it was over, everyone had a smile on the face and with this smile we made the one any only group photo! I think I will frame it!

After waiting forever to get our car we finally made it back to the hotel, pushy stayed with me the night and although we wanted to talk about this awesomatic movie we were just so damn tired that we just slept.

Wednesday, 30th: After way to little sleep, pushy, uhyesplease, Betti and me went downtown to get donnersun. Because, we went to get Tattoos! It was a perfect coincidence that pushys CIL is a Tattoo Artist and has his own shop, so he came in on his free (!!) day ink us! How sweet is that ? And this guy was so great, it didn't hurt, he made it perfect and it was so fast!!!!!

I love my Tatt!!!!!

After Betti, donnersun and me got inked we had so much time left that we went and saw Eclipse again! *squeeee*I can tell it was even better the second time. So many details I missed.

In the evening we met with all the girls again in a bar to eat and have fun. We had BBQ and wine and beer and just chatted and giggled! It was a perfect evening (again). I enjoyed it so much, just hanging out and talking! It was the last day we were all together... *sad panda*

Thursday, 1th: The day uhyesplease left to get back to her kiddies ...*sooooo sadddd panda * ....

Happppyyy Birthday Heather!! Heather invited us to her house to have a BBQ and celebrate her birthday with us! It was so lovely, her sister was there with her kiddies, pushy, Betti, Susie, Aimee and me. In the afternoon Susie and Aimee left to drive home and Betti pushy and me went shoooppppppinnngg. Or, at least I shopped...

The evening we spent with pushy, Betti and her super lovely husband outside at her porch. I love this place!!!! We had some wine and it was a perfect evening! (like all of them...)

Friday, 2nd: The day Betti flew home..... Pushy came and got me to her house - again! She drove me around like crazy, I love this woman! and we just hang out with her and the kids ( which are sooooo sweeet). Heather came with her adorably son and we just had fun and chatted. Then it was time to say goodbye to Betti ... *snifffles*.

And I didn't even dared to ask, but I just did it and asked Heather and pushy if they might want to see Eclipse with me "again" this evening??

Yes!!

Three times for me and pushy, but I love it this freaking movie sooosoooooo much !!! SooooOsSsSOoOOooo much !!!

Thanks girlies for watching it again with me before

I had to go home.. *sniffles*

soooo much kissing...

such a greeeeaaaat movie!!

want to see it again!!

After that we just hang out.... yes you get it , at pushy's porch... (again!)

Saturday, 3rd: *sigh* my last day..... *sniffles* I spend the morning watching the Football (soccer for the US ppl...) with pushy's husband and the kids, it was perfect!! Germany played against Argentina and won 4:0 woooohoo!!! It was funny watching it and I was so excited we won!! Goo Germany! Then we had a BBQ and I had to go back to my hotel to pack my stuff .. *sniffles* this was a sad moment. Pushy and me spend my last hours talking and then it was time to fly home... Yes, I had water in my eyes when I hugged pushy for the last time. I love her so much... *sniffles*

So that was it, my perfect Eclipse week in Chicago! I had a blast meeting all the girls, it's wonderful that we all met and I desperately hope we can do this again. It's so sad we are living all so far apart from each other...

Girls.

I love you all so much and you will all have a spot in my heart!

*hugs all of you from afar*

Pushy:

I love you the most! Thanks for taking care of me during this

week driving me around and

being a wonderful and best host

ever!

Oh how I have missed this...

You may ask about what the hell I'm talking about now.

I'll tell you.

But I have to go back first....

After I saw Twilight in the theaters I desperately waited for the DVD release and actually I counted the days until I finally have this DVD at home and can watch Twilight whenever I want, how often I want.

I've seen New Moon twice on the big screen, once with Betti at the Germany premiere and once alone in the original version.

That's it, twice.

But truth to be told, I've seen it three or four times afterwards at home... bad quality, german.. well, you know what I mean... (Yes I know it's not right, but it was New fucking Moon!! Don't judge me..) But, this is not the same...

I pre ordered the DVD rather late, mostly due to this whole confusion about which version has how many freaking and exciting extras. But, the choice here in Germany was easy - there was only one version with about 3 hours of Extra. So I pre ordered it as a good Fan.

The DVD came April 15th and I haven't seen New Moon for MONTH! So you'd assume the Anticipation was immense - like desperately immense.

Strangely it wasn't....

Although I hear the Soundtrack nearly every day when driving to work, or I hear the audiobooks ( atm I'm hearing New Moon again..) So it's not like I suddenly lost my TwiLove, no definitely not. I don't actually know what was up with me. I just didn't feel like watching...

April 15th came and so was the DVD delivered and I .. just brought it .. home. *shrugs* I mean yes, I was happy and all and I smiled at my DVD (which is kinda weird, smiling at a DVD but, oh well ...) but I didn't even unpack it.

Weeks passed and I didn't watch it.

Until today!

I have no fucking clue what was different today but all over sudden I felt like I desperately want to watch New Moon.

And Oh boy, I did!

And I not even watch New Moon, afterwards I watched the Extras and I'm not done yet and when I finished this post I go back and watch the rest.

But you know what the best thing was? It nearly felt like the first time I saw it, and this is incredible, It was so wonderful and truly truly what I needed! I won't go into detail again about me being always so damn close to cry but New Moon makes me cry nearly the whole movie!

Yes, you can laugh bit it's still true! If I wouldn't look so bad right now, I would show you my red eyes now to prove it, so you just have to believe me,

It felt so good! The movie went again right and straight into my heart. The most desperate scene

October

November

December

is for me still the best scene in the whole movie. It perfectly delivers and transports the emotions needed in that moment. The song just fits perfect!!

KStew's performance was awesome, TayTay was great and won my heart with this movie and Rob was just *sighs heavily* Rob, Robward, Edward...

All I want to say, I'm out of the New Moon numbness and now I'm right back to wait desperately for Eclipse.

To be back with the story that

won my heart so entirely like no story before and

probably none that will come later.

One year ago ... or How it all begun...!

I sat here, exactly at this place (meaning at work - sitting on my Macbook) and had nothing to read anymore. No, actually it was a bit different. I just got all the Harry Potter audiobooks (unabridged!!!) and I heard them all in a row and I can tell you this was ePic! (I just talked about my obsessive behavior, this is just one more example.)

Anyway, I digress.

When I finished them, I was in a big whole desperately looking for something new, so I went to my book store (meaning amazon..) and looked out for something new. This was when I had a closer look at my recommendations and (yes you guess it) it was Twilight. Thanks to amazon I still now the exact date: March, 26th!!!

I ordered the audiobook and so it all begun ....

You might expect me now to recap the first weeks, but I'm not going to do that now.

Yesterday, I was chatting with uhyesplease and Betty on gChat (having gChat really helps me getting during the day...) and I remembered how it all started and I asked my girls how it was for them.

I became emotional and nostalgic! *sniffles*

Uhyesplease then said: "Uh no, my story is boring!" No it's not! None of your "how-I-became-twisessed" is lame, because it's your personal story. I know we all talked about over and over again, but I think this never - ever gets old!

What I'm doing now is collecting old "how everything begun" stories from the people I love and spend my Twi-Time with.

And now: I'm asking YOU!

Do you want to share your story with me???

I would love hearing your story and I'm planning a few posts here

about your first date with Twilight.

How

it

all

begun...!

You can send me an email with your story: mrsvanquish @ me (dot) com or if you have a blog and already wrote your story you can also send me the link to this.

(I might however shorten it then, tell me if you wouldn't be OK with it). You can include pictures, funny stories, basically everything you want to share with me!

I really want to hear it, I want to feel it again, how it felt the very first time. How everything started and we all ended up here *looks around* on all those awesome blogs, on Twitter chatting about it and all those friendships that came just because we all became obsessed and loved the same book....

Award for the Best Twiancè Ever!

Today is day to celebrate:

It's the Birthday of my beloved friend Betti!

I don't even know how old she gets today, but this is so not important because she just looks like 35, never met a woman who looks like her. She is beautiful but not just outside, inside even more. I had the luck to meet her last year when she came here to watch New Moon together with me and it was a wonderful exciting weekend!

Since I cannot hug her today I thought of a tiny something special, so I created a once in a lifetime Award for her:

The Best Twiancè Ever Award!

I love you Betti and I'm blessed to have you in my life and beyond happy we met last year. See, one thing more to be thankful for Twilight, without Twilight I wouldn't have met this wonderful woman and couldn't call her friend now

I wish you the bestest Birthday today, I hope you'll have a wonderful day full of Love because you deserve all of it if not more. I hope soon we'll have more time together since lately I was always too busy and distracted with other things.

I would love to hug you, but since I cannot do it, I send you virtual hugs - tons of them!! - virtual kisses - lot's of them!! and all my Love across Germany! Do you feel it?

Love you, Happy Birthday!

My wonderful Twilight Year 2009

Today, I went out for a walk in the park which is close to my home and I remembered my last year with Twilight and smiled. I had my iPod with my and I heard the Twilight audiobook I just bought at iTunes and I remembered the beginning. Last year, March it happened that I found Twilight ( I already talked about all this in detail here) and I started by hearing the audiobook. I spend hours in the park walking around and listening to this wonderful story, it literally crashed on me. This moment changed my life and brought so much joy to me. After I've seen the movie I was hooked and this whole new world draw me in...

I started reading blogs and was just a lurker for some time until hubs asked me why not to start my own blog. Hu? Could I really do that? Me? I'm not a writer but I wanted an outlet to express my incredible love for the books and this movie. So June this year I just did it, I started this here, my own Twilight home. Which was just one more wonderment along all these wonderful things happened last year.

When the first people came to read my stuff here I couldn't believe it! I will be forever thankful the adorable cutie found me!

July, I joined Twitter. Gosh! Twitter really is a whole world on it's own. It was wonderful to meet so many wonderful people there who are as addicted and devoted as I am. Twitter also brought Fire Crotch to my blog who read about my lack of The Precious I and didn't hesitate but send me a copy right away. Yes this is the wonderment of the Twi community I'm blessed to be part of.

In July I also did my first video, my attempt to deal with my enormous obsession with this pretty face of Rob! People actually like it?! Hu?! Couldn't believe it again...

July and August cutie started the Wide Awake discussion which was so wonderful and truly brought us all so much closer together. It was a such a great time and I enjoyed it a lot! I was happy to be also part of it and I did a Wide Awake video as a farewell.

In August I also got my first layout for my blog and I will never forget the joy I felt when I finally saw it online. This was when I started playing around with html and designs. But this design I got from a super talented designer. (My dear old Vanquish layout, I gonna miss you *sniffles*)

It was in September where I spoke out about my Twipurness and my attempt to avoid any spoilers out there in the world, and I managed! I will definitely still need to talk about how it affected the way I saw New Moon!

In this month something else happend which brought so much more love into my life. I created the "wonderful comment award" inspired by Betti and you remember what she did? No?! She proposed to me! Yes she did : "Will you fucking marry" and sure I accepted and since then thw two of us are Twigaged ... OoOOO!

October was a wonderful month and a truly busy one, it was the month of the Book vs Movie Discussion. I did this together with Betti's Fanny and it was a freaking wonderful time! I was stunned about the response we got and how all of you were part of this with all your awesome comments. It was tons of work but it was so worth it when we saw all of you here on my blog!

I desperately hope Fanny will do this again with me.... Pretty please, I beg you!

November *gasp* - November - freaking November! How long did we all waited for this month?!! It was the month of New.freaking.Moon! And besides the excitement that New Moon comes closer, I had something else to be excited about. I met my Twinancé Betti, here at my place to watch New Moon together!?! Hello?! How awesome is that?

It was wonderful, it was awesome, it was fantastic, it was - put in all the word that express this wonderment. We had such a great time and I didn't know that I could love more, but I did!

My fucking Twigagement Bracelet from Betti!!!!

It was around that time when I finally started my own Blog Design page called Twispired Blogdesign.

I learned so much about html the last weeks that I badly wanted to really design blogs. I've never been a creative mind, I'm a scientist but in designing blog I finally found something where I could be creative. KG from i heart mythical creatures and cutie form Super Secret Twilight blog were the first peeps who were brave enough to gave their blogs into my hand. I could't imagine how much joy it brought to my in designing blogs, and specially Twilight blogs! I still can't really believe that...

End of November I did my first interview with a wonderful Fan Fiction author, fragile little human was brave enough to come over here and talked with me about her story Breath Me. It turned out wonderful and she let me even announce the Sequel to Breath Me!

Banner made by Betti

December, this was a month where I mostly designed blog for so many wonderful people. For my friends out there in the Twiworld which was why I really neglected my beloved blog a bit. Can you forgive me? Pretty please? But, it was so amazing working with all those peeps on their blogs.

But December was also the month of wonderful Twipresents, I got from my friends. Annie, send me a beautiful necklace with a moon and earrings with crystal hearts, why?!? I still don't know why I deserved something like this but she just wanted to thank me for being part of her giveaway on the Danger Magnet. Well, Annie, it was all MY pleasure and I truly love the wonderful sparkling jewels.

Uhm, yes it's me waring Annies earrings..

I was also part of the Secret Santa thingy my friends from the Lemmon Sisters hold. Where I designed a blog for itsjustme: The RobMusement park .

But I got the freaking best presents ever! From Heather (Call of Duty Widow) I'm so happy to call her a friend because she put so much thought into her presents that it made me tear up! ( Which reminds me that Betti gave me a name: WIME which I truly deserve btw. It means Water In My Eyes. Well Thank you Betti). I got Alice gloves (self knitted), a Vamp magazine, trinkets for my twi - bracelet and she wrote me a freaking wonderful letter! Read about all I said about this here!

Me holding all my precious presents from Heather

And I got all those wonderful Christmas cards from you my friends. Thank You!

MrsV speaks out about New Moon and Bella!

Wake up from the New Moon coma, it’s time!

It’s been now more than two weeks ago since New Moon finally hit the theaters. We waited so long for this and now I have the feeling that we are all sitting in a black hole. The excitement slowly went down and now we have to wake up.

I expected that I would read reviews, opinions’, screaming’s all over in bloggy world but it’s been fairly quite. Annie at the Danger Magnet gave a really cool review and slowly the other blogs come out now of the black hole and start telling about their experience at the premiere and what they like or dislike about New Moon. I already told you about my New Moon weekend with my beautiful Twincé Betti but I now want to tell you what I think about New Moon itself!

Yes, I woke up! I came out of the coma and left the black whole and now I will tell you!

I start with something all of you would probably not expect from me but I will talk about Kristen Steward and Bella first. Hu???? Read on please, don’t leave me now!

When I go back to our Twilight Book vs. Movie discussion it became clear that most people really don’t like KStew, don’t like her being Bella and dislike her acting skills. Well, I came out of New Moon and one of the first things I said to Betti was : “ I love KStew in here! Period!! “

First of all, she got older and she’s super gorgeous and beautiful. In Twilight she was a girl I wouldn’t even recognize on the street because she was just not shining. Apart from her lack of glow the stupid makeup she had in Twilight, this ugly blue eye shadow was so unnecessary! One had the feeling she was still trying to find the “Bella” inside her, in New Moon she IS Bella.

The way she showed Bella’s grief and despair was heartbreaking, when you looked into her eyes you saw the emptiness, at least I saw it! One scene will always make me cry and breakes my little heart is when she is sitting in the chair and we go through October, November, December. I even have goosebumps now while writing it and thinking about it. Together with the song “Possibilities” it gives me exactly the feeling I needed to have in this scene!

I heard some people complaining that she didn’t cry during the breakup scene, but for me there was no need for it. She was beyond being able to cry and when she’s lying in the wood rolled inside her it was all how I pictured it while reading the book.

I saw the happiness coming back into her eyes when being with Jake and I saw her anger when she punched Jared in his face! I saw her attempt to show Charlie that she’s willing to try and start living again, you know in the scene when they are standing besides her truck and Charlie tells her that she has to go back to Jacksonville!

And, I believed her despair when Jake who told her that he’s not good for her.

I loooooveeeeeed how she told Edward to shut up during the voting scene!

When talking about Bella, one more thing comes into my mind what I found super clever and perfect, the emails to Alice. You get two things with that, First how close the relationship between Bella and Alice is and Second, Bellas desperate feelings and grief. Something you always deal with while reading the book but in a movie one can’t get that so it was clever to do it that way, I loved it and how excruciating it is that all those emails come back …

The only scene where I’m not sure about is the Meadow scene! First, it was a perfect twist to make the Meadow all sere – great idea!!! It matches perfectly Bellas feelings when she arrives at the Meadow, before you see the beautiful Meadow and then all is gone and sere… But I’m not sure if I got the right feeling about her heartbreaking, maybe I would just have to see it again.

However, to conclude once more: I love her in New Moon. She finally became my Bella and I can’ wait to see her in Eclipse and finally as a beautiful and breathtaking Vampire in Breaking Dawn!!

So my lovely girls and guys, tell me all about it:

Do you love Bella or still don’t like her? Was she better in your eyes than in Twilight? What did you like and what not? Was there a scene where she surprised you ? Was there a scene where she totally annoyed you ?

My wonderful Twiancé and our New Moon weekend

MRSV: Oh Betti, I think we have to talk about our weekend right? I mean, we waited for this since months and drove everybody crazy in Twitter and here, so I think we should tell them a bit. May I start, may I start???

BETTI: No! I'm older. And taller. I will start.

MRSV: ?!?

BETTI: Aww.... just kidding!! *punches Mrs.V playfully* Go ahead!

MRSV: I really counted the days until THE Saturday arrived and I'll finally gonna meet my Twiancé Betti in flesh and bone and can actually hug her so tightly. Then it was time...

BETTI: *mimicking Alice* It's time. It's time!

MRSV: ...and I nervously drove to the airport and waited impatiently for her to show up. I hoped that I would recognize her immediately since she promised me to wear her red cap.

BETTI: Which I did!

MRSV: And then Betti came and yes, I recognized her immediately and, wanna know what she did? She dropped her bag and made a small dance! Yes this is Betti! *giggles* Then we just hugged tightly!

BETTI: Well, I told you I would perform a happy dance, right? *laughs* But maybe it was more of a... uhm... modern free dance, I don't know... anyway, I just... danced.

MRSV: I just freaked out because Betti is sooooo taaaallll and even wore those high heels and well, I stood beside her, tiny and with my Chucks…

Yes, I really wore that stuff ...

BETTI: … and your Cullen Baseball sweater! Sooo cute... fell in love in a split-second!

MRSV: However, I took her to my car and first thing we did was having a smoke.

BETTI: Uhh... I needed that badly. *cough*

MRSV: Yes, one of the things we really have in common - we smoke like hell.

BETTI: By the way, does anyone of you Twi-merch experts know whether there is such a thing like a Twilight ashtray? For a car? Just asking... because Mrs.V made me open the window and...

MRSV: Betti!!! I don't think this belongs...

BETTI: Ok, ok... *giggles*

MRSV: We went briefly to my workplace, and I showed her my Twioffice. Remember Betti? one can even see it from the outside: Look, 2^nd floor in the middle, there where the Rob posters are on the wall.

BETTI: Yes, there was one window screaming TWILIGHT! We went inside and Mrs.V introduced me to some of her co-workers and some stemm cells. Both species were very friendly. I felt a little uhm... scrutinized by that one handsome male co-worker who followed us to the lab, but it was ok. Oh, and I swear, one of the stemm cells waved at me through the mikroskope!! Fascinating...

MRSV: However, when we arrived at my place we figured out that we have another thing in common, we are addicted to coffee!

BETTI: Oh yeah...

MRSV: I didn’t know anyone who drinks as much coffee as I do, but this was before I found you!

BETTI: I didn't know anyone who makes such a good coffee before I found you, my dear! I was tempted to ask whether I may have it intravenous, you know, moving around with an IV bag, hanging from such a pole on wheels... *laughs*

MRSV: Oh yeah I would love having that too!! After one more smoke, and with another hot coffee in our hands, we started giving us presents! Squeeeeeee! Yes, we he had presents for each other!!! But this is your turn Betti, you unwrapped mine first, right? Which was a small one, but perfect for our weekend!

BETTI: Yes, I opened the small one first, and in there were two NM wristbands in red and white, that was so sweet!

MRSV: And I bought the same for me just in black.

BETTI: Yes, I put mine on, and Mrs.V and I waggled our wrists at each other and laughed and squeed like teenage girls!

MRSV: But then came my biggest surprise for her, something I knew she would never buy for herself *giggles*. And she really freaked out.

BETTI: I did!! I literally jumped off the couch and screamed... because it was a fucking Pocket Edward!!! I think I smooched him and pressed him to my boobs, I might even have licked him... I don't remember, because as soon as I saw him, a kind of frenzy began... and I stammered: 'Mine... you are mine... oh yeah... mine!'

MRSV: It was awesome! I’m beyond happy to see that she apparently loved my little present that much. OooOoOo now it’s my turn: and Betti came with a big beautiful red box! This was a bit scary. A.Big.Red.Box! Full of wonderments.

BETTI: Well, since it was the first time in years that someone had invited me to their place, and - I mean, it was my beloved Twiancé! - I had been so excited the weeks before, so I had started to collect little presents and just couldn't stop *laughs*, so in the end I actually needed that big box *shrugs*

MRSV: She brought me some of her music, which is wonderful because I always wanted to hear more of her stuff, including one CD with Bedtime Stories. *does a lill happy dance* and a poster from her band.

BETTI: Uhm... yes, it's a little awkward to make one's own stuff a present like this... but I just wanted you to have something personal of me. I'm so glad you liked it!

MRSV: Sure I did!! I mean I can always hear you when I listen to your music, that’s awesome! Then there was one more small box and my pulse quickened when I opened it, and inside were super sweet little buttons and……OOooOOooo a twigagement bracelet!!!! Squeeeee!!

BETTI: Woot! *claps hands*

MRSV: Now it was me freaking out, with a little “B” and “D” (this is me, Dani) and a crystal heart, aaaannnnddd Betti has the same, annnndd she made them all by herself which makes it even better...

BETTI: Oh God... breathe, Mrs.V!!! *laughs*

MRSV: Really, I freaked out about this wonderment, how sweet is that??!??! Since that day I wear it every day!

Isn't that super sweet?!!

BETTI: Awww... me too!

MRSV: As I promised my Twiance I would cook for her and since she was still suffering from her flu, I made something with tons of calories: Lasagna!! Homemade, for sure.

BETTI: Yes, and while you were cooking, I had a conniption and laughed my ass off alone in your living room, and you came peaking around the corner to see what was going on, remember? I had dressed my new Mini-E *cackles*

MRSV: Oh god this really cracked me up, I stood in the kitchen and heard suddenly I big laugh…

BETTI: Yeah, since I had to learn that I couldn't strip him... LOL, he looked like a Teletubby!!! Didn't you take a picture, Mrs.V?

MRSV: Sure! wait, here it is giggles Isn’t he sweet??

BETTI: Oh, yes... and then... whoaaaa, came the Lasagna!! Oh. My. God.

MRSV: I was so surprised, skinny Betti ate not just one portion, not two, she eat three!!!

BETTI: No idea what came over me...

MRSV: Hello?!?! Is there a better compliment for a cook than this?

BETTI: Certainly not! I didn't even like pasta before... but this was... nomnom... like... oh...

MRSV: And I’m not talking about the Belgium pralines afterwards.

BETTI: Well, it was just one family box of cream filled chocs. No big deal. And you ate one or two pieces too!

MRSV: Ok, after we calmed down and more coffee and more smokes we just talked, chatted and talked, oh yes and we watched Twilight again. This was obvious, hu?

BETTI: *mimicking Billy* ...actually came to visit your flatscreen! *giggles*

MRSV: It was so wonderful to see it with a true Twifriend, something else than just seeing it alone or with a “normal person”, right?

BETTI: I agree. Though we didn't really “watch” it, did we? Because we either spoke along with the movie dialogues or fell back into excited chatting and swooning... it was just lovely that the DVD was playing while we were there, together finally, right?

MRSV: Absolutely, finally I had someone with whom I could share all my thought about the movie, that was awesome! After more coffee and more smokes we finally went to bed and tried to get some sleep to be ready for the New Moon day! Squeeee!

BETTI: And MrsV generously granted me unrestricted access to her Holy Grail (i.e. her Macbook), which I found unbelievably sweet... so trusting... and... *sighs*

MRSV: *giggles* The next morning I made a coffee and tried to wake up Betti with a fresh coffee. Truly I never met one who sleeps deeper than Betti.

BETTI: Well, you know, I use to only sleep every second night, and this was my second, since I had been much to excited to sleep the night before we met, so...

MRSV: “Betti, coffee, wake up” - “Betti, we gonna see Ne Moon today” - *include some music* - “Betti, coffee is getting cold” - “We gonna miss New Moon if you won’t wake up”... 10 minutes!!!

BETTI: Well, yeah... uhm, sorry... *laughs* your couch was really very comfortable.

MRSV: Finally she managed and after some coffee and some smokes...

BETTI: ...which I took sitting in the open balcony door, wrapped up in the comforter, with Mini-E huddled to my bosom. Hey, that was the first time I was glad that I don't have a real cleavage, because that two-finger-space was perfect for Mini-E, you know? *laughs*

Yes, this was the New Moon morning, I think Mini-E felt quite well...

MRSV: ...we got dressed in our fan-shirts, and nervously drove into the city, ready for New Moon! God, we were both so excited!

Isn't she gorgeous??

MRSV: The theater was full of Teenies and yes, we raised the age average quite a bit.

BETTI: Well, actually it was just ME raising the age average. MrsV was the one lowering the average height *snicker*

MRSV: Ha-ha!! Really funny, Betti! Anyway... since we had skipped breakfast we had to buy some Popcorn, I mean what is a movie without it?

BETTI: I was well stuffed with insulin... and adrenaline...

MRSV: OooOooo, my goodness! I won’t give a New Moon review now because this would been hell too much. Just put it like this: I had water in my eyes nearly the whole movie.

BETTI: It was awesome. And MrsV was so brave... she didn't break my fingers during all the hand-holding and death-gripping we did, I was very thankful. We just, uhm... cuddled a lot. *smiles at the memory*

MRSV: I love Robward, I was positively surprised by TayTay and I was touched be KStew! Yes, you read this right! I love her in New Moon. But more on that later, this has to go into a separate post!

BETTI: I liked her too. I think Kristen actually made it to Face G, or even H in this movie. And she looked beautiful.

MRSV: Afterwards Betti and me found ourselves in a NewMoonComa, we were emotionally worn out, but it was heaven. We went for dinner and just talked and talked and talked about everything we have seen and loved, it was perfect!

BETTI: Just like it is supposed to be when you share such an event with a twifriend. It was a first for me, and I can't tell you how much I loved that!

MRSV: We managed to drive home, somehow, and chatted a bit with MrV, who was really lovely.

BETTI: Oh, he truly was! *giggles* First thing he said, after looking up and down at me: ”So... did you get a lot of phone numbers already here in Munich?” A little cheeky, but such a nice compliment, right? And he sat down with us and we got talking. He seemed to be really interested in everything, and kinda fascinated to see that, besides all the twimania, MrsV's twifriend is just an ordinary woman and not a total whacko *laughs*. No really, he's such a sweet guy... lucky MrsV!

MRSV: However, after he went to bed, Betti and me did what we did the whole weekend, coffee, smoke and chat.

BETTI: Yeah, and we got a little more close up and personal that night which was great. But I had felt like visiting someone I'd known for years from minute one anyway. *smiles lovingly at MrsV*

MRSV: sigh it was wonderful, getting to know my Twiancé better was wonderful! Next day it had to drive her to the airport, which was sad enough, but altogether we had a wonderful perfect weekend

BETTI: Absolutely! We shared one last tight hug in the parking lot. And I couldn't help but bend down to give her another Edwardly kiss on her hair, because I just so much loved to do that. Don't get me wrong, folks – NM and everything was awesome – but the part I internalized the most and took home with me to remind me that everything was real, is that: the feeling of MrsV's tiny shape against me and my nose in her hair... - oh noez, honey, don't... oh fuck... water in her eyes – again! *shakes head*

MRSV: And yes, I love you even more! Love you honey! I truly do!

BETTI: Love you too. Thanks for everything!
