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.

regain-sanity

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…

does-not-approve

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.

Not Related To Current Thoughts

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 :D

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).

——NOTES——

- Still working on the Robert Pattinson contest with Youtube. I got a second email from them, basically saying again that they are looking into it. But, I’m starting to form other plans, in case the Youtube thing doesn’t work :( Oh well.

    Yes, I like Jacob in his wolf form better because he can't say anything like a dummy.....oversized dog with anger management issues.
    I am Team Edward if you haven't noticed.

    And yes, I always have Twi moments. My father owns a silver volvo and someone at my school is named Edward and every once in a while I see someone with a Porsche........yeah......I wan't a porsche......so I can run Jacob over.....hehehe
  • neonstar
    I'm team jacob and all but he gets on my nerves to the nth degree, it's like every thing's fine right now why must you ruin it boy! there's a sweetness and a kind of innocents to him when he's a wolf thats not there when he's human.
  • struhar2009
    i know this is old but i have to comment. first i love the note to self thing, its great. second, yes one time right after i read the books i saw a yellow porsche while driving to school and no lie i thought "alice?" like uh duh, no. she is a fictional character. lol i felt soo dumb.
  • angelique
    i am pretty much team edward, but i dont utterly hate jacob. i like jacob's wit and sarcastic remarks, but i do like when he is in his wolf form the most. as you said, he's more genuine and warm becuase he is probably more comfortable that way. if he's at ease, then everyone else can be too.

    everytime i see cullen blvd, i smile :] and today i just saw a plaque thing at the park with the "cullen family" donation thing. but it was a real family.
  • Bella (yes that is my name)
    my name is Bella and people now do a double take when we are introduced; scary thing is (and I know everyone says it) but I am EXACTLY like bella

    I always smell good to everyone (sometimes I haven't even showered and I get that comment)
    I faint at the SMELL of blood
    I am pale white and from Dallas AKA the southwest (like you Kaleb)
    I read like no one's buisness
    I am an only child
    I've moved a bunch
    I miss the heat
    I think trees are gross and awful
    hate snow
    my mum and I are best friends
    I want to name my kids weird names
  • Cara
    Ome, I forgot to mention my two most recent signs of obsession. First, everyday I drive home the same way from school and in the same space is,I swear, Bella's truck. It is exactly the same, rusty red paint job included. Also, today I was waiting to leave homeroom and I notice a VERY familiar ginormous black book. A new twilighter was about 3/4 done with breaking dawn. :)
  • Cara
    Wow, I just had my first twlighty experience a few weeks ago. I was in school and my science teacher was asking questions for a test review. This one boy raised his hand to answer, but spoke so quietly that no one could hear him. My teacher kept trying to get him to speak louder but he just kept mumbling. Finally, she walked right up to his desk and said, "I'm sorry but I can't read minds. Some peope can but I'm not that lucky." My thoughts obviously flew to Edward and I started giggling when I pictured my science teacher reading twilight (I later realized that she may not have been kidding and actually believes that mindreaders walk among us) . I looked around to see every other person who read twilight was also laughing.
    It might not be as funny as it was to me (I think you would have to know my teacher to completely understand).
  • mattie
    I react strangely when i hear any twilighty word even though one half of my brain (a small part) goes 'Mattie plz...this was a word long before twilight was written. plz take a deep breath and stop giggling at this'.
    Such as when my biology teacher mentioned Imprinting ( i got to admit that was one word i did think stephanie mayer had made up)
    The words 'absurd', 'ridiculous', 'dazzle'.
    and i think i like jacob more in his wolf form...but jsut abit ( i like jacob alot actually...i'm still team edward though)
  • F
    I just started reading your blog and I love it!
    Actually, something happened to me this week. We started working with Jesus Christ Superstar in English, and our teacher had a CD with songs. When she started it, the song was like almost the same as Spotlight in Twilight, so both me and my friend jsut stared at each other and started laughing so much so I cried. it was so funny and a bit embarrassing. I love it when things make me think of Twilight.
  • CallieHale
    I like Jacob in his human form and his wolfy form. But I don't prefer him to Edward. I'm Team Switzerland. Pahaha.

    E=Being addicted to Twilight is not good. I was sitting an English exam last week, and there was a character called Edward. I almost passed out. No kidding. And then the unseen poetry question involved something "glittering coldy". I squeaked, yes squeaked in teh middle of and English exam. *Oh the shame* Not to mention the fact, the invigilator looked at me as if I were a crazy person and almost cancelled my paper for cheating.

    I don't care. I love Twilight ^_^
  • Cass
    I so team Jacob! And I like him better in his human form cuz he CAN talk. its just more interesting that way. I think it's awesome how he so honest (even if it does come out rude sometimes... which is hilarious anyway so who cares!) anyway... so rite.. honesty. ok so ive never met a guy in my life who knows wat they really feel, let alone tell someone about it. And also, i think its unfair to say he never listens. In New Moon ALL HE DID WAS LISTEN! obviously. it was his first love. and who wouldn't get mad if all of the sudden the guy who broke bella's heart came back (not to mention rite after he was close to making her feel normal again) and won her over...AGAIN (grrrrrr). i mean its the human thing to fight for her. Which in my opinion he shouldn't have to fight since Edward had his chance and blew it.

    Also, (and this is kinda random) but its so completely annoying wen people say that they like Bella with Edward more cuz then they "get jacob to themselves". WHAT?! that makes no sense wat so evr.

    And i havent had many twilight moments. but in class we were talking about wuthering hieghts and i strted freaking out lol :)
  • Tori Schmitz
    wolf form his big mouth is silenced and he's human( ina way).
    And yes thunderstorms, volvos, biology, music, myself being handicappingly klutzy!, etc...
  • I prefer Jacob in his wolf form, probably cause he can't talk. Just like Bella said. =P But when Jacob opens his mouth things tend to get worse instead of better.
    I haven't really had any experiences with shiny silver Volvos. =( But if I ever do see one I know I will react strongly.
  • Okay, I am Team Edward and so more into Jake in his wolf form, specifically because he can't talk. He also just seems a lot more likable and sweeter.

    I have had SOOOOO many funny moments. Every time I see a volvo I have to stop myself from screaming. One time in my science class two girls did a project on black holes and said something about Super Massive Black Hole and my friend Ashley and I started jumping up and down in our seats trying not to scream. One time I cut my finger in a restaraunt and just whispered "Jasper".
  • Edward Team cause i believe in romantic and gentle man nowadays!!!!
  • Jacob is a good friend, but is so stupid somedays, me prefer in wolf forms cause is not talk much more.
    Edward is more responsable with Bella, he's be safe and he's right this. Vitoria is a monster so better keep Bella safe.
    When read a selfish i fell who Bella is so guilty herself, without need it.
    But agreed with you, Edward's car is so good, it's good has one.
    Now read all books,so interesting!!!
    so later

  • "...and who don't even care anymore. Makes you wonder who's doin right to someone tonight, and whose car is parked next door.."
    WOOT!!! Alan Jackson!!! Yay for country!

    I like wolf Jake better. He's sweeter that way.

    Twilight experiences...
    My friend and I looked at each other and grinned the first time Dartmouth was mentioned in our American History class, I jumped the first time I saw a GMC Denali (and then I remembered that it's a place in Alaska)...and on the way to Disney World, OMG...I saw a sign for a place called Jasper, I got excited when I saw the signs for Jacksonville, I saw a Volvo and Porsche plant right next to each other, and best of all, on the way back, I saw a sign that said Embry! I got pictures of everything but the car plant. Kaleb, if you want the Jasper and Embry pics, let me know, but it may be a while as my laptop (where the pics are) is screwed up at the moment and I'm using the family comp now. My friend was scrolling through the pics at church one day, and I turned to talk to someone else, and then i heard her laughing hysterically, because she was on the Embry picture.
  • Krista
    You are awesome. I worship you.

    Anyways, my cousin and I just about scream every time we drive by "Cullen Landscaping" which is right between my house and the city. My friend was once on a trip and met a guy named Jacob Cullen. This was too weird too think about too deeply.

    As for Jacob, I pretty much despise him in any form. I mean, the way him and Bella are hanging out when he's in wolf form, would probably NOT have happened in his human form. Although I guess he is SLIGHTLY better as a dumb old dog. *Grumbles*.

    Oh, God. I'm like Charlie with Edward. XD

    By the way, love the bucket of water picture. XD
  • Yen
    im still team edward, but ive softened up to jacob.
    i prefer jacob in his wolf state, because it's so much easier. then, jacob isnt trying to force a kiss out of her, or attempting to seduce her...he's simply jacob.
    and yeah, ive had that happen. i cant see a volvo with out thinking of edward.
    oh! the other day there was an announcement made at our school and they said "jacob black" I held my breath like OMG! and texted all my twilight buddies. lol. too bad its not the real deal
  • You said about promising yourself you wouldn't turn when Volvo's passed, etc. Try being me, working at a retail store, 24 years old and freaking out when someone comes in a grey coat, very similar to Edward's in the film... OR yesterday when a customer came in who's name on his checks were "Robert R. Patz" lol... That's DORKING OUT...
  • Jannet
    It is like Bella says... Jake is easier to get along with in his wolf form because he can't talk. :]

    haha. I take the usual double takes, sure. But one time in class, a teacher came in to ask my friend something and I read his name tag. And my eyes just popped wide open. And when he left I just turned to my friend and screamed "HIS NAME WAS JASPER EDWARDS!"
    ...it was a /little/ obsessive.
  • Carrie
    I definitely prefer Jake in wolf form. I'm on Team Edward, though. One of the main reasons is the very thing you mentioned, Edward is a listener and he'll do whatever he can to make Bella happy. I definitely don't think he's the selfish one in any scenario...I can't help but do a double take when I see/hear anything that reminds me of 'Twilight', like a silver Volvo or if I read the name Cullen or Edward somewhere else. I think we're all a little too obsessed w/ these books. :)
  • Taylor
    I like Jacob in his wolf form--mostly for 1 reason and 1 reason only--he can't talk! Mwahahha.

    And I recognize twilight things all the time. In my English class, my teacher has a folder with the words "Twilight school" on it and I flinch whenever I see it and I smile to myself. I'm always looking for silver volvos...I got mushroom ravioli at a restaurant once only because Bella had it..it was good, too...the list goes on.
  • Karin
    Hey!
    You are so funny I love your website!

    Kisses from BRazil!

    =)
  • Samantha
    me and my friends play the volvo game when we are on the freeway. spot a volvo and its 50pts, a silver volvo is 1000pts

    and I totally freaked out when we did the phases of meiosis in AP bio! lol
    =)
  • One Small Tree
    TEAM EDWARD, SET IN CONCRETE.
    It depends on the scene; I like it when Jake shuts up...but he provides some great comic relief when he can talk.
    And I squeal whenever I see a shiny silver Volvo. I almost drove off the road in excitement one time. Also a black Mercedes (Carlisle's.) And today in Anatomy and Physiology class, we were blood typing. My Twilighter lab partner and I sat there, playing with blood, pining for Edward Cullen to go with us to the nurse's office. Also, the Prophase/Anaphase thing is way too familiar. What else? Whenever it's twilight outside, I feel the need to say "It's twilight...the safest time of day for us." Strawberry-scented shampoo. One time in Wal-Mart, my brother said to a friend, "Hey, Edward," calling him by his real name. I immediately squealed "WHERE?!?"
    Yup...I'm obsessed.
  • ChelseaLee
    You KNOW you are from Texas when you reference Alan Jackson! LMAO! That was the highlight of the post for me!
  • mykelin
    lol, I have the regular "volvo" moments and such, plus I always think its funny when my dad makes spaghetti for dinner
  • Rebecca
    for days after my first time through Twilight I wasn't afraid of speeding while my husband was in the car because I kept thinking he had "automatic radar". :-)
  • Lana
    So I'm the "Twilight Freak" in my family, out of all my friends, and at work. I love Twilighty stuff. What I don't love is that sometimes I lose ALL composure. I'm 24 years old yet anything Twilight related sends me into a fit of squeals, giggles, and OME's! O_o Not a good thing when you're in the presence of other people!! Last month for my birthday a group of friends and i went out of town. We opted to go shopping and obviously the guys wanted NOTHING to do with it so we went our separate ways. When we were done shopping we headed to the crowded food court. I was exhausted by that time so I wasn't paying much attention when we got to the table where the guys were sitting at. Out of nowhere I see EDWARD!! **COMPOSURE BE DAMNED ** Squeals, screams, giggles, shrieks, tears, and OME's ensued. EVERYONE in that food court seemed horror-struck.. They must've thought I was having a mental breakdown or something but I DIDN'T care. I was now the proud owner of an Edward Cullen cutout! By far the BEST birhtday present EVER!!
  • tyabelle
    Every time i fear o song from the Twilight OST I just freak out :P It's really embarrassing when it happens in public...
    And not only do I flinch when I see a silver Volvo. Any silver nice car gives me the creeps these days. I feel like I'm going mad... lol

    The strangest part is that I can start laughing at anything. It doesn't need to be directly connected to Twilight at all. My mind does all the clicking :D

    And I have started to growl on people when I'm getting angry. lol
  • Stacy
    i definitely turn and look at silver volvos when i'm driving. then if i see the specific one (silver S60) then i'm like haha aww edward. but i just got a used volvo and the dealer found it for me and it just so happens to be silver. so i call it my edward car. my friend's mom got me a shirt that says stupid shiny volvo owner.
  • Shelby
    Ok, so I am team jacob. I honestly love Jake all the time. And one thing that you haven't gotten yet, Kaleb, is that Bella is ok with Jake talking all the time! She makes her feel like its ok to just stay silent.... Just thought I'd mention that because in my public speaking class in college, our teacher mentioned that us women love talking but sometimes, we like shutting up long enough to listen to our boyfriends' opinions and stories. We like when guys listen but we don't know whether you are listening. Men have selective hearing so half of what we say goes in one ear and out the other for men. lol

    Ok, now on to my experience hearing twilight related stuff in real life...........

    The one that really popped out at me was when I was out at the gun club (I'm a trapshooter, which means I shoot shot guns at small orange flying discs.) and my mom works behind the counter where we put the scores up on the boards. our gun club has one of the largest shooting leagues in the country and the parking lot gets packed every wednesday night. ANYWAYS, I'm standing there with my boyfriend before we have to go out to shoot with our team when, over the loud-speaker I heard my mom's voice say, "will the owner of a silver volvo please move your car, people can't get out."

    I stopped and grinned. I raced over to my mom and told her how funny it was. Unfortunately, she hasn't read enough of twilight to get how funny it really is. She just kind of chuckled and went back to work.

    Now that I think of this story, I realize that it never would have been Edward's shiny silver volvo because he wouldn't park in peoples' way like that! But it still makes me giggle to this day!!!
  • Gabriella
    The term "imprinting" came up during a lecture and was also a definition in the textbook for my Child Development class. OF course my mind immediately went into Twilight world. The next day my friend and I were laughing and talking about how I should have raised my hand in class and given the professor the Twilight definition of imprinting. =)
  • marissa
    continuing my last comment...
    my sister's name is Isabella, and we call her Bella. And my aunt visits us alot, and her name is Alice. When ever anybody in our family says "Bella and Alice" I go TWILIGHT inside my head. Even sometimes when I'm just talking to my sister.

    And another thing: I can tell you anything you want to know about WWI, because I payed special attention during that unit.

    Since the book came out, I've read Mansfield Park, Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejuduce, and Sense and Sensibility.
  • marissa
    In bio, i sit with three girls who like twilight, but arent quite as into it as I am. But we started the mitosis lab and we were looking at onion rootand identifying prophase and anaphase and I started giggling and they started giggling and the other guy at the table was looking at us like we were insane. Then one of them leaned over and said something to a friend at another table, and she started giggling, and some of the people at her table started laughing, then nearly all the girls on our half of the clasroom were giggling and Mr. Andrews (our teacher) was like, "whats so funny?" and nobody would explain it to him. All of us just sort of shook our heads and looked at each other.

    Also, my doctor told me I had a form of influenza which is unlike the common flu and my first thought was "Oh My God, EDWARD!!!!" I missed everything after the word influenza.

    One time I saw a red BMW just like Rosalie's in my school parking lot and I serouisly looked at the blond girl getting out and wondered where all the other cullens were.
  • Amaranthine
    In response to comment #88: Hahaha! I remember that...so awesome. I remember reading his lips when he noticed us. "What the...???" What was funny is that our mom was driving and she hasn't even read the books, but she was leaning forward and squinting too! Good times, good times. I think it was a S60, wasn't it? There's a person in my apartment complex that owns an S60. Not as cool as an S60R, but I'll take what I can get.
  • Sarah W.
    Alexis! I couldn't agree more!
  • Sarah W.
    Of course I freak out when I see something Twilight-related!! Silly. I like Jake in his human form because then he actually gets to TALK! I feel that he is the underappreciated and only comic relief the books really need sometimes. If girls could just put off their Edward fantasies for later, MAYBE (and that is a HUGE maybe,) they'd see Jacob differently. Or maybe not. SOME off them.... :)
  • Casey
    OOOH yes. I have stopped telling people when i link stuff to twilight all the time, makes me seem a little obsessed ;) haha. Someone in my neighborhood has a silver volvo thats similiar to the model thats in the book (NOT THE MOVIE) so one time after i started reading the books i stopped to take a picture of it. The, one time, i was at Capital Alehouse for dinner and looked at the menu, one of the entree's was some sort of seafood from Prince Edward Island. I took a picture of the menu. O, and then, on Halloweeen at work, we had a guy come in dressed as Edward cullen. Best costume iv seen yet. I freaked,haha.
  • Madeline
    I like Jacob better when he can't talk. In his human form, he talks and acts without really thinking first, but in his wolf form, he can't do that. He's protective and loyal like a dog, but also silent.

    And I am also studying the phases of mitosis in biology. I can actually pay attention! We even did a similar lab that they did in the book. I got an A on that test. :D
  • Laura
    Oh My Gosh: biology
    the instant my boring teacher that makes me fall asleep mentioned the word "anaphase," my friend and I, who were falling asleep, immediately snapped our heads up to look at each other and start laughing. One of my best bio expiriences.
  • Victoria
    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!
  • Victoria
    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...
  • Alexis
    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.
  • ale!
    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
  • Amy
    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. :)
  • Kaitlyn
    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

    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
  • Laura
    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.
  • Laura
    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. :-(
  • Dana
    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
  • Jen
    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!
  • Laura
    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.
  • Melia!
    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
  • Samantha M.
    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).
  • Bethany
    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! :)
  • Alice Cullen
    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 :D
  • Kendall
    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. :)
  • Lisa
    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 :)
  • Didina
    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.
  • Anna
    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. :D 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 :D
  • BrooklynBridges
    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.
  • Codi
    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.
  • Natalie A.
    comment #124, Camilla

    the first song from the soundtrack is called super MASSIVE black hole, not super sonic black hole :P
  • Natalie A.
    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)
  • Lisa
    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?
  • Camilla
    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".
  • Caitlin
    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
  • Jessica L.
    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.
  • Jessica L.
    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.
  • 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...
  • Brianna
    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
  • Vesper
    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.
  • Nirak
    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... :-)
  • Kate
    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 :D

    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.

  • Allison
    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!!
  • 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. :D I also liked the comic too even though I'm totally on the side of the vampires... or at least the good ones :D
  • Clara Renee
    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)
  • Juni
    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
  • Camilla
    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!!!
  • mckenzie
    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)
  • Savannah
    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.
  • Tash
    oh and theres a suburb near my house called Carlisle:)
  • Tash
    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 :)
  • Kelly
    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.
  • Ashley
    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 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.
  • Cam
    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..."
  • erin
    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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • tina
    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. ;)
  • marisol
    Probably the funniest twilight related moment I had was a few months ago, when I was helping a friend's daughter to study biology for a test, and the main subject was cell theory, and there was an entire chapter of the text book that talked about the Krebs cycle... When I read that, I coulldn't stop the giggles!
  • ash
    in science lab me and my friend zanny freaked when we had to do the same exact lab.she never understood that part till then so she was super hyper.
  • Nicole Jet
    Normally, I wouldn't leave a comment this far down on the page, but I just had to share the Volvo game.

    The Volvo game is like the slug bug game. The first person to see the Volvo and call it gets a point. Our other friends laugh at us for it, but we don't care.

    To date we've seen two S60Rs. The first was outside of Barnes and Noble (The greatest place to see one, right?). Because it was dark out, we couldn't agree on whether it was navy or black. We were so excited that we ended up spending the next ten minutes taking photos of the car.
    The second one was red and parked across from us at Sonic on a rainy day. That time we got so excited that our bouncing shook her car. If that didn't catch the attention of the other people there, our screaming certainly did.
    Something tells me if we ever see a silver S60R, we'll probably explode and die. Rest assured though, it will be a happy death. :D

    My best friend is my Bella and I'm her Alice. We make Twilight references out of everything.
  • Karyn
    Hmmm...I like Jacob in both forms. When he's human he can make his snarky comments that make me laugh, but that has it's setbacks, because you're right Kaleb, he doesn't listen. And he acts like a jerk. But as a wolf, I can also feel that warmth, and I can see pre-wolfy Jacob from New Moon.

    And don't even get me STARTED on me flipping out over Twilight-y stuff. I down-right SQUEALED. I'm in college, and one of the faculty members happens to own a silver Volvo S60R. I saw it in the parking lot and I squealed. VERY LOUDLY. Like, so loud people stopped to stare at me and thought I was a bloody lunatic. And I freak out every time I see a silver Volvo. And I've seen the Volvo they used in the movie and I was on the freeway and coming back from the grocery store with my mom and I screamed, "OH MY GOD IT'S EDWARD'S CAR!!!!!" I scared my mom. Haha. And THEN, I've seen Carlisle's Mercedes, and I'll randomly shout, "Carlisle's car!" Then, every Porsche I see, I have to check if it's a 911 Turbo. But one day I saw a yellow Porsche and I almost demanded for my mom to follow it as she was driving because I HAD TO KNOW if it was Alice's Porsche. Then in the weeks before "Twilight" was in theatres, I took pictures of every billboard, poster, and advertisement of "Twilight" I saw. And when I saw people reading the books, I would stop them randomly and talk to them. I'm sure there's loads of other crazy stuff I'd do, one of which was taking pictures with the Edward cardboard cut-out in the UCI bookstore hehe...but there's so many incidents of my fangirlish craziness that I can't remember them all x__x;;
  • Amanda
    I like Jake better in wolf form. I'm not sure why, but I do. And yes, I often react strangly when I see anything twilighty. Just today, I saw a shiny silver volvo, and actually shrieked a little.
  • Lori..
    I like Jacob in his wolf form in Eclipse and I like him normal in New Moon. I also like him in Breaking Dawn after he imprints on Nessie. I dislike (I won't say hate, much) him in Eclipse because he's not being sensitive to Bella.
  • Amaannddaa
    I prefer Jacob in his human form, even though I am very Team Edward. Jacob is funnier in human form and less hairy. I'm not a fan of hairy. :]]

    As for the reacting thing....ALL THE TIME!

    I was playing Taboo with my family and friends. I don't know if you know what that is but if not just google it. It's a game. Anywho...the word was Adrenaline...and we were trying for the winning point.

    I totally said this:
    "The word Edward told Bella to google."

    and my sister knew what I was talking about. WE WON!!! YAY!!!
  • beckysue
    also, i think i favor jacob in his human form as compared to his wolf form.
