"I HAVE FORESEEN" . .. A BIRTHDAY!

Our own in house Alice/

Jasper combo gal,

aka Betchafeelbetter,
is having a birthday tomorrow.

Many of us our going to be out of town so I was hoping we could start the birthday wishes early.

I wish you the insight of Alice and some Edward/Bella-ish Birthday kissing. Or any other birthday wish you would want. I suppose birthday wishes don't have to be Twilight related. But wishing someone something from Twilight is like having your cake and eating it too.

So I'm throwing in a wish for you to have a car all to yourself, and of course there is only one it could possibly be. Would you automatically choose silver?This group could not, would not, be the same without your wit and wisdom. You've added so much to us and . . . You Have Great Hair!

Now I know my ABC's

Next group of letters:

Tues. 5/6 - O

Wed. 5/7 - P

Thurs. 5/8 - Q

Fri. 5/9 - R

Sat. 5/10 - S

Sun. 5/11 - T

Mon. 5/12 - U

Lets continue on our Twilight Alphabet here:

Wed. 4/30 - I
Thu. 5/1 - J
Fri. 5/2 - K
Sat 5/3 - L
Sun 5/4 - M
Mon 5/5 - N
These are so great to read. Don't miss A-H.

Important TWILIGHT reminder

Remember, if you haven't already pre-ordered your copy of
Breaking Dawn, you can still call and order them!

The Sandy Barnes 'n Noble number is: 233-0203

Also, TM/MA is planning to post a WEEKLY schedule for our group reading, starting no later than May 18th (but probably earlier, since I know she is already having a hard time waiting)! So mark your calendars, and gear up for another great reading of our FAVORITE series!

She will then post on the chapters. But feel free to post any and everything if you beat her to it...not reading ahead of course! Yeah - I'm so excited!!!

4/29 News of the Day

1. MTV's Twilight Tuesday, with video: http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1586437&vid=229022

2. The official Twilight site has a short video. Not much new, but interesting: http://www.greetingsfromtwilight.com/

3. An interview with Robert:http://www.joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=11913

4. Lesser news, but I don't know how much you all need here. An account of a set visit by a Twilight Mom:http://twilightmomsforums.freeforums.org/on-set-in-vernonia-4-25-08-with-pics-rob-and-peter-t6709.html

5. A few pictures from the Lexicon's set visit:http://www.twilightlexiconblog.com/?p=846

6. The movie Penelope will have some Twilight extras on the DVD release. It should be soon, the movie is at the dollar theaters now.

4/26 - Weekend News

Okay, one more quick update!

1. The biggest, best news! The first Twilight Movie trailer, they are calling it a teaser trailer, whatever that means, is coming out May 9 with the movie Speed Racer. I like having spoilers, but I side with all the big sites that I won't be posting pirated stills of the trailer. I want to experience that one like it was meant to be.

2. The Lexicon has its own interview with Jasper/Jackson: http://www.twilightlexicon.com/Interviews/Jackson%20Rathbone%20Interview.pdf

3. It seems every site online but us has been invited to the movie set. Go to the sites below you want to see more pictures of Robert in plaid flannel. Good grief it does remind us he is only playing Edward. Even though Alice picks out his clothes, you know Edward would have the sense not to wear what Robert is wearing here. It is cold there, I need to remember he is just tyring to be comfortable. But I have seen better looking plaid shirts in my time. Any way pictures and reports from these random visits can be found on:

http://twilightmomsforums.unrealblogs.com/ or http://www.hisgoldeneyes.com/.

There are pictures of the dress shop and the Italian restaurant (totally wrong again) here:
http://www.hisgoldeneyes.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=48
And something with an ambulance and body bag, and jazz like that ( I know one of the producers said this movie is one of the closest to accurate adaptions of a book he has ever seen, so I guess we should be thrilled with the few parts that are correct.) You'll have to do a little of your own research on those. I just glanced at them and didn't feel they were worthy of big notice.

3. Also don't miss the "you know when you've been Dazzled Daily" There are some funny ones (besides mine, gulp) on there. http://twilightersanonymous.blogspot.com/2008/04/421-you-know-you-are-dazzled-daily-when.html

4. And we have pictures from the craft night posted now as well. See how cute you all are?http://twilightersanonymous.blogspot.com/2008/04/ta-craft-night.html

Have a wonderful weekend!

4/25 News of the Day

It just doesn't stop:

1. Fabulous informative, video with Catherine, the producer, and the stunt manager. Huge movie spoiler though, so if you don't want to know how the movie begins, stay away. Otherwise, very worth it! http://www.g4tv.com/thepile/videos/21433/G4_Haunts_The_Set_of_Twilight.html

2. So the Lexicon advised me (everyone, ha, ha) to buy a copy of Time Magazine. Guess what BFB? - they don't sell Time Magazine at Reams (and I am so not kidding). So I am assuming this article is in the magazine as well as online. I just am stunned at Stephenie's success, but then not really because LOOK WHAT SHE WROTE!. It is such and excellent article:

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1734838,00.html

3. For total fun and fluff add onto our Twilight ABC list here:
http://twilightersanonymous.blogspot.com/2008/04/back-to-basics-twilight-abcs.html

4. There are still 10 or so, quotes to be guessed. C'mon now, you can do it:
http://twilightersanonymous.blogspot.com/2008/04/422-quotes-of-week.html

5. Seen a volvo lately? Caught yourself listening to a song that reminds you of Twilight? Share your moments: http://twilightersanonymous.blogspot.com/2008/04/422-quotes-of-week.html

4/24 - News of the Day

Here goes:
1. A cute interview with Jasper: Highlights include: "woof, woof" Ha ha, just kidding. In case you didn't remember my dog is named Jasper. https://createpdf.adobe.com/cgi-pickup.pl/PhasesJacksoninterview.pdf?BP=&LOC=en_US&CUS=0329566f0ad34929f92cd8a69647a306&CDS=480FD465-1E34-085C9C


2. A new article from TMF - about Twilight fans with long interview from he biggest fan-sites.
http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/twilight_fandom_interviews/
I feel like my thoughts were plagiarized by the TwilightMoms creator (who obviously also stole my name) when she said:

• " I have never been affected by a book like this before. There have been a handful of books that have impacted my life but none that has turned my life upside down." Well it could have been me saying that. We may not be the biggest fan site, but we are certainly the funniest/deepest/tastefully enthusiastic. Right?

3. The TMF website has another little article on the popularity of the movie and its' cast. The article isn't particularly meaty but if you want it all, here you go: http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/twilight_controversyapril2008/ Here is a great excerpt:

• "Twilight is actually the 14th most searched movie on the internet according to IMDbPro’s moviemeter. Twilight ranks higher than Sex and the City: The Movie, The Incredible Hulk, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Speed Racer, and even Indiana Jones 4. Even more surprising is that the film’s 18 listed cast members make up most of the top 30 searched stars on the web."

4. MSN has 3 articles on Twilight

• Twilight shines on Pattinson: http://movies.msn.com/movies/hitlist/04-22-08_2?
• Vampires get romantic: http://movies.msn.com/movies/hitlist/04-22-08?silentchk=1&
• Hardwicke seduced by Twilight: http://movies.msn.com/movies/hitlist/04-22-08_3

I loved the Catherine article. The first paragraph talks about how she chose to direct Twilight.

5. Stephenie, the Lexicon, and Borders are BFF (one of the few letter codes I know). There are some amazing interviews video interviews with Ms. SM. http://www.bordersmedia.com/shows/borderspresents/meyer.asp

Oodles of other, less significant info can be found on the other sites. From a charity bear collection to Mike Welch interview, there is always more than I can post. I give you the best, you'll have to research rest. Okay?

Back to Basics- Twilight ABC's

Only 23 more days until we begin again reading word for word, ahhh. . . our books.

So I thought we had better brush up on our Twilight basics. To count down the days - lets create a Twilight alphabet. (thanks to Jillikie for the idea) We are a little behind so this week we will catch up. Submit as many Twilighty words per letter that your brain can come up with. Then I will compile the list at the end and we can publish it for our posterity.

For example: The letter A: Alice If you miss a few days, please fill in, just don't go ahead. Have fun!

• Thurs.: A & B
• Fri: C & D
• Sat: E
• Sun: F
• Mon: G

A HUGE MILESTONE - ONLY 100 Days until the Conclusion of our favorite Fairy Tale!

This moment had to be celebrated. I had lots to do so figured I might as well be up to celebrate. This is much better than New Years. There are also 25 days until we start reading the saga together! Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait! Do not worry ladies. I have been doing some glorious quote research and did not once picture Kristin or Robert or even Ashley for Alice. The books remain pure in my mind. Gear up but practice discipline too. The plan is to read them slowly. Chapter by chapter. We can do it. Work on a cheer for that BFB. RWV and Cullenwhatever, you two work on a gang name for those who participate, and threats for those who don't. Ha, ha.

Mark your calendars, the fun begins May 18!

ONLY 39 DAYS UNTIL CHAPTER 1. Mark your calendars for that too. I really liked the suggestion of a group read-a-loud. So what if other patrons of Mimi's Cafe wanted to enjoy their breakfast in quiet. How disturbing can bouncing, squealing women be?

4/22 - Quotes of the Week

I had so much fun with Erin's quote last week that it gave me an idea. A little over-the-top idea, but you surely realize who you are dealing with at this point. So to shake things up a little bit, there are no assigned quotes. But each person can only guess on 1 per day, but in any order. This was so fun researching. Hopefully the theme for these quotes will be obvious:

Unguessed quotes will remain in italics.

1. "Which one is the boy with the reddish brown hair?"
2. ". . . closing his eyes again and pressing his lips against my hair."
3. "He pulled the end of my ponytail and chuckled."
4. "I prefer brunettes."
5. "I let my cheek press against his hair, felt the texture of it on my skin, . . ."
6. "Was this why she let her tresses fan out between us?"
7. ". . . catching between his fingers a strand that was fluttering in the light breeze."
8. " . . .his free hand twisted into my hair and held my face securely to his."
9. "-- partially obscured by a tangle of rain-darkened bronze hair . . ."
10. " My heart spluttered hyperactively."
11. " . . . his hair wind-blown from running."
12. " . . . and it was very distracting."
13. "To my shock, cascades of curls tumbled out."
14. ". . . watching the sun and wind play in his bronze hair, more human than any other part of him."
15. "It took a great deal of effort just to force my hands to free themselves from his hair . . ."
    
    Bonus:"Your hair looks like a haystack . . . but I like it."
    

4/22 News of the Day

A few new things to update. If you crave every update of Kellan or Taylor's myspace, go the the Lexicon or Hisgoldeneyes for all of that.. I am going to list them in order of interest, not date.

1. This site has an amazing interview with Kristin:http://watch.ctv.ca/etalk/movies/extended---twilight/#clip47580. One with Robert too but I haven't watched it yet: http://watch.ctv.ca/etalk/movies/extended---twilight/#clip47578

2. MTV's Twilight Tuesday. Interesting and awkward.

5. Stephenie has updated her myspace, although its not much, here is the link:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=52906350

6. I know there is Host stuff coming everywhere but I'm not ready to keep up on all of it yet.

7. Other stuff:

Look for The MTV VIDEO post. The video is amazing. Also new quotes coming later today. If you came to the get together, look for the post on that, and please comment.

It is always polite to at least leave a short comment on posts you have read. It lets us know our hard work it useful at least.

4/21 - You know you are Dazzled Daily when . . .

Do you remember what is feels like to be dazzled daily? Kristin Stewart said in an interview, in an amazed tone, "people dream about these books". Well whether its a dream or if anyone else could please have a Twilight moment in a grocery store, I would really appreciate hearing about it.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I can't believe no one has posted this yet. (You do know anyone can start a post, right?)

I checked TW stuff once yesterday, but this must have come later. These MTV videos are well, I have run out of words to describe my reactions.

I have said this many, many times, but with all the flaws and all the things they have done wrong (cars, hair, houses, prom, etc), the movie is going to be _____________, ____________, AWESOME! (fill in the blanks someone)

So here is the link to one amazing 4 minute moment:

http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1585900&vid=226476

And here is a link to an article to go with it:

http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/04/20/exclusive-new-twilight-footage-goes-behind-the-scenes-fulfills-dreams/

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIMPLYBITTEN

All she wants for this very
important Birthday (do we dare say what number?) is her Edward.
Here is as close as I could get. 2 "almost could be the real Edwards" and 2 "playing Edward in the movie".
Cyndee we hope your dreams come true!

TA Craft Night

What a wonderful night. I hope everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It was one of my favorite get togethers. LOTS of thanks to Jill for hosting. Isn't she a natural? And Cyndee, we love your talents. Thanks for sharing them and all the work to get it ready.

So we didn't talk enough about Twilight for my taste, but it was a very Twilighty evening.
Cyndee we can't wait to see the picture, or send it to me and I'll post it.

I think it would be fun to see if everyone can remember at least one of someone else's goals before they die. Of course we know what Bella wants most. No kidding there.

A last few notes:
*We missed terribly our BFB and Dazzled.
*We wish Ruth could fly over for a visit.
*We also wish some of our mystery visitors would give in and share the love.
*I do like the movie, I'm just constantly re-disappointed at some things. That doesn't mean the movie wont be super. So don't be shy movie lovers. I'm with you, really.
*Also I don't want Jacob to die, and I like him.
*Did we miss hearing Jill Cluff's blog name? If so, the cute girl in the skirt, sitting at the card table with the gangsta sisters, is Jillybean.

*We are so sad we forgot to take pictures before Jill and Erin had to leave. We will just have to repeat!

4/18 News of the Day

So the Big Breaking News is that they have ruined the prom.
Okay, over reacting here, but it is ALL wrong. But you are all welcome to like it, or even love it. In fact I am sure it will be just fine in the movie. Too bad they can't make the movie like the book it is based on. Here is the link to a summary and pictures:
http://twilightmomsforums.freeforums.org/spoiler-alert-the-tmi-s-bring-you-prom-t5989.html
There is a short news video about it here:
http://www.kptv.com/news/15898482/detail.html

Comments need to go in the "Movie News" post here:

http://twilightersanonymous.blogspot.com/2008/04/413-movie-news.html

Jillikie might have some of her own inside info to share at the meeting tonight. She is trying to get some from her contact.

A foreshadowing quote?

Most of you know this, but when Stephenie originally wrote Twilight, she continued the story in a book called Forever Dawn. Most of FD is incorporated into Breaking Dawn, but much of the story changed when New Moon and Eclipse were born. Did you also know that in SM's original version of Twilight Bella and Edward are engaged at the end. It's true. (Want more details on that, just ask)

So I have often thought long and hard about what this quote was referring too. I would like to know what you all think, and if you think it will be part of Breaking Dawn.

Chapter 1: Joy

"I wouldn't describe myself as an unnaturally morbid person, or even especially depressed. Still, consistent, overflowing happiness has never been one of my dominant character traits, either. I wasn't quite sure what to do with my blissful self these days..."

4/17 News of the Day

There is so much today. Remember I very thoroughly research everything new and post for you what I think is the most important and interesting. If you want more go to any of the links Twilight site links.

1. Stephenie writes about her day on the set. This is fun stuff, and makes me more excited than almost any other movie news.

Her site:http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilight_movie.html

Added comments on myspace:http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfmfuseaction=blog.view&friendID=52906350&blogID=380146586

2. Big Breaking Movie News coming later today. Go to the Movie News post to view it and comment on it. http://twilightersanonymous.blogspot.com/2008/04/413-movie-news.html

3. There is an awesome series of articles on the entire Twilight phenomenon. It is well worth the read. Comments can go here on this post.

Part 1:http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/twilight_series_part1/

Part 2:http://themovie-fanatic.com/exclusive_articles/film_focus/twilight_series_part2/

4. There are new interviews from Kellan and Sarah Clarke. Go to any Twilight Site link to get them.

5. On our blog today there are new Breaking Dawn theory posts. What will happen to Jacob? What does this "Forever Dawn" quote mean, and I need you to add more theories to discuss Friday night. (do I need to say where comments on these go?)

Have a beautiful Twilighty Day. By the way I will be home all day today and get very lonely on the blog, so someone stop by and say hello.

Jacob's future

What will happen to Jacob? What role will he play in Bella's life or with the Volturi?

Will he imprint on someone?

Will he survive?

Theories, and theories, and theories . . .

(once again, not the real cover)

What have we missed? What haven't we theorized yet? I am going to start a list. Please add to it so we have lots to talk about at our get together.

Will all of the Cullens survive?

Will the war with the werewolves start?
Will the Volturi be wiped out?
Will Charlie get a love interest?
Will Billy keep his mouth shut?

Alphie, of the Lexicon, was granted the privilege of reading the first 2/3rd of BD. She says that in all the theories she has heard, no one had hit on the "be all, end all, moment" or maybe she said event. Well it gets painful for me to speculate on this, but I'll try and be a big girl about it. What could that mean?
Please add more theories to the comments.

4/16 News of the Day

First there is music. Hooray. Some flaws though. The same song starts over and over again every time you go to a link and come back. You can fast forward songs. I will be adding many more over time. If anyone knows a better music widget let me know. The first song that plays is my new favorite TW song. I'll explain later what it means to me. Yippee.

There is a new video interview with Robert and Catherine. It's great. The first link is to the video, and the second is to the article that goes with it.

4/13 - Movie News

April 18: The big news is the "Prom". Would love to hear your comments. Pictures here:http://twilightmomsforums.freeforums.org/spoiler-alert-the-tmi-s-bring-you-prom-t5989.html

There is a short news video about it here:http://www.kptv.com/news/15898482/detail.html

April 15: Wow an amazing video with a little interview from Robert and Catherine.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1GA1lx_ll8

Here is an amazing picture we haven't seen. Notice the eye color?

Below is a picture from a waterfall scene. Here is a link to more pictures from the filming there.

And this is a great article on how they chose the cast for Twilight:
http://www.twilightlexicon.com/Interviews/principle%20casting%20Interview.pdf

In case you missed these:

Some of this is not new news but I couldn't leave it off the blog.

1st - the official marketing slogan for Breaking Dawn reads like this:

Twilight tempted the imagination. New Moon made readers thirsty for more. Eclipse turned the saga into a worldwide phenomenon. And now, the book that everyone has been waiting for…. The final book in the #1 best selling Twilight Saga will take your breath away.

I added the italics. Oh me, oh my, just reading that took my breath away. How much meaning is there to that phrase I wonder. (not the real cover)

2nd- some of you missed this interview with SM by MTV. Its worth the read.
http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1585112/story.jhtml

3rd- this picture on the right is a scan from Glamour magazine. I couldn't find the scan of the entire page, although I wish I could, it was great. It was labeled something like "6 things you've got to have for Spring" or something. "THE HOST" was #3. Click on the picture for a better view.

I'm posting it because I just thought it was really cool!

You Know You Are Addicted to Twilight When . . .

. . .you get into a fight with a 14 year old over who is better for Bella, Edward or Jacob .

. . .or when your teenage son tells you to join AA for your addiction, and of course you already have!

But best of all you know you are addicted to Twilight when your monthly report at work reveals your minds main focus now.

I would like to introduce Cyndee. I know she has a teenage son and daughter, works with Jill N's husband, is very crafty, and very funny! You have seen her here as SimplyBitten. Let's give her a big welcome and enjoy reading her monthly report. She is pretty busy and hasn't had time to do this herself but she if very happy to be part of our group.

March 2008

Summary
March was a very twilightee month. I had many twilight moments. I saw 57 Volvos, 5 of them were shiny silver ones. I converted 4 people to the “cullen” religion, I have 3 more converts in the works. One of my converts lives close to the movie filming and has agreed to try and scope things out for me. In return, I purchased and sent her the first book. I rode many times in a stupid shiny Volvo owners car (Angie). My ability to find something during any conversation with any person into a twilight moment has increased to 97%. I changed my desktop picture 12 times, all with pictures of Edward.
Monthly accomplishments, milestones achieved
I read Twilight 3 times & New Moon and Eclipse 2 times. I dreamt about Edward 31 nights of March. I designed 10 stickers and 6 blocks, all twilight themed.
Next month’s goals
Find my own Edward. (Any assistance would be appreciated, since I haven’t been able to do this on my own)
Get Eclipse back from Angies daughter and read it again.
Turn 40, but be forever 17.
Get my nose pierced.

Most Amazing Movie Stuff EVER!!!!!!!!!!

Quote #2: "They found faint traces of human scent, and human blood, along the trail..."

Bonus: "You know that you nearly gave me a heart attack? Not the easiest thing to do, that."

Bella for Vampire - Poll results

Who are all you people? Come forward. Declare yourself a FAN! It's something to be proud of, really! . . . Please.

So this blog has about 10 people that comment with any regularity. We have 21 votes. Please won't you tell us who you are?

Are we too weird? Scary? I don't know any "cooler" people than proud Twilightersanonymous members.

Anyway, why did everyone vote the way you did. We have got to know who voted against Bella becoming a vampire. We started a great discussion on the topic here:

http://twilightersanonymous.blogspot.com/2008/03/bella-for-vampire-bd-theories-3-26_26.html. Add your comments here or there.

Thanks.

Does Charlie Know? BD theories

Billy Burke - the actor portraying Charlie had this to say:

When asked; "You obviously know more about Bella's life, then Charlie does. Do you feel as though Bella should tell Charlie about the Vampires? Why?"

His response:

"From the moment I finished the script I have thought that Charlie already knows. How could he not? Oh well . . . I'm not the writer.."

Well fans. Is Billy Burke right. Does Charlie know? And if he doesn't, should Bella tell him.

Will he find out in Breaking Dawn? What do you think? (don't worry this is not the real cover).

TA Get Together?

Well, for anyone still interested (is anyone?), we are going to get together this month and talk about our favorite thing. We'll discuss Breaking Dawn theories! No pressure, truly, but we're still planning on this Thursday April 10th. If anyone really is interested in coming, and can't make it this week, we'd be willing to postpone it until next Thursday the 17th. (Actually the 17th is out! Waaah. Sorry. The other option is Friday the 18th. ) Depending on how many people RSVP to this post, or to MA by personal email is how we'll decide where to meet. Whether at someone's home (anyone willing to host?), or meeting for a late dinner somewhere. That will be decided in a few days. Of course we'd love to see everyone, but only come if you want, and we won't feel bad if you don't, only for what you miss out on! Talk to you all later, TAers.

Here is a link to an Entertainment Tonight's, behind the scenes of Twilight clip. It's really short to watch, but also very fun! Especially the little bit of Edward and James they show, the action looks great! Check it out.

This is old news but I haven't had a chance to post it. There is a great article about the movie being made. Here are a few highlight. Its one of the best articles I have read yet:
Interviewer: Having observed them throughout the day, their family-like qualities go beyond their acting. The Cullen actors were always talking, holding hands, laughing, and fooling around with one another.
Directing a film like this is exciting for any director, but Hardwicke is one who can embrace the content especially. "I got swept away, how it would be to be a teenage girl that's so obsessive and so in love with this guy," She even hints that she's aware of some little bits in the fourth and final novel from Bella's perspective, Breaking Dawn. "At least I know it, it's in my head. I'm sure it helps give me a little, you know, a little deeper perspective." Furthermore, Stephenie has given her bits of Midnight Sun, and she has made strides to use that knowledge in the film.
And even though we didn't have the chance to interview Kristen Stewart because of her classes, Hardwicke had some positive things to say about her. "You feel like she can be this girl that this family of cultured interesting vampires would be able to love her because she's so deep. She and Rob too have gotten so far into it and trying to understand and be these characters. I mean it's radical. They're living and breathing these characters."

April 5 - Stephenie "stars" in Twilight. Well not quite. Here is an official statement from Summit about that.
"While expressing his excitement for Stephenie’s support of the film, a member of the film production staff inadvertently told an MTV reporter about Stephenie’s cameo appearance. There was no malicious intent by either party to “steal Stephenie’s thunder”. Of course Summit is sorry for the story being accidentally leaked to the press before Stephenie was able to do so. But being that it was an accident Stephenie is ok with the events that transpired."



Also, here is a statement in a report about the cafe that is the setting for SM's appereance.
"A scene from Twilight involving Bella, Charlie, and several Forks High students was filmed at the cozy and quaint Carver Cafe this week. And to answer your question, no you are not crazy; this is not a part of the book. It is however an important and pivotal scene in the movie that shows the conflict Bella is feeling over her not-so-normal relationship with Edward. It is also the place she bonds with Charlie."



April ? - If you die to see every photo of the set, here are some good ones. The students of Forks seem to be getting on a bus?
