Embarrassing confession: I will be seeing New Moon this weekend (and I can’t freakin’ wait!)

Nope, not me. I read

11/20/2009 at 9:50 am

Nope, not me. I read Twilight and I was really offended about how hot-and-cold Edward was, and how Bella chased him anyway. Of course, he wanted to stay away to protect her, but I found him so rude it was a turn-off. Then I tried to read New Moon and liked Jacob's support, but Edward had to breeze in at the end of the book. I quit! Funny how we all interpret this information differently but I had some bad dating experiences in the past and the book only reminded me of that. In the Twilight movie, the romance is all light and glowy, and New Moon is supposed to be action-packed, so I don't fault you at all for having a good time! I too wonder if I am going to be watching the same shows as my daughter at some point! Soon I won't be "hip" anymore. I've seen a couple of episodes of 90210 and Glee, and both feature a teen pregnancy storyline, so I mentally try and think about how I would explain these to my daughter.

Erin, did you catch a glimpse of the Today show crowds?

Be glad you're not like those crazed fans :)

Melinda

I am right there with you

11/20/2009 at 11:16 am

I am right there with you being a 31 year old mom Twilight fan. You know they even have shirts for women like us, Twilight Moms. Not that I have one or anything.

I remember when you hadn't

11/20/2009 at 11:22 am

I remember when you hadn't read them yet and your sister was gushing about it to you! Yes, I will be seeing it. All of my female college-age friends have been talking about it... I'm planning on seeing it Monday afternoon as a nice treat for me once I've finished all my work for Thanksgiving break. And I CANNOT wait! Enjoy it - nothing to be embarrassed about!

Not New Moon, but...

11/20/2009 at 11:23 am

I'm not seeing New Moon (haven't yet seen the first Twilight movie...), but I'm seeing The Fantastic Mr. Fox tonight, and then going to a Sesame Street event tomorrow afternoon! It's for adults... like a panel... but still, for someone who doesn't have kids yet (three months to go!), I'm embarassingly fond of children's programming and films. Have fun at the movie! Watch out for all those tween girls. ;-)

Melissa

I am only half way through

11/20/2009 at 11:37 am

I am only half way through New Moon. I will not see the movie until I finish the book. I still haven't even seen Twilight because I just recentley finished the book and wanted to wait until I was done. I don't see the attraction yet with Robert but I have been told I have to see the movie. Maybe we can watch it together this weekend... :)

Another Fan Here

I'm with you too. I loved the books and am thinking about reading them over again. I was so obsessed last time about wanting to see what happened next that I did not savor the story as much as I could have. I raced through books 1-4 in no time and had a mild panic attack when I finished one and the next had not arrived from Amazon. I haven't seen Twilight yet, but it is next on my Netflix queue. I am looking forward to watching it once I get my little one in bed one night next week. Enjoy the movie this weekend. I say revel in it - no need to be embarassed.

Team Edward!

"Yes, I’m 31 years old, yes I’m a mom, yes I’m pregnant with number two and yes, I love Edward Cullen. There, I said it." Now take your statement, switch "31" for "27", and it's me, verbatim. I'm on round 2 of reading the books. I too feel like I rushed through them the first time. I also can't wait till my Sunday matinee of New Moon. I'm hoping to avoid the screaming 13 yr. olds. Have fun, and don't be ashamed. =)

Ummm...I am 27 and I went to

11/20/2009 at 1:11 pm

Ummm...I am 27 and I went to the midnight screaning last night in the city - yep, i waited on line with hundreds of people just to get the first view of the film...pathetic maybe but i don't care - i can't get enough of Jacob and Edward!

Megan

I can't wait either.

11/20/2009 at 1:51 pm

I'm 31 too; and I have a 21 month-old daughter and am pregnant with daughter number two. I can't wait to see it either. I was really tempted to go with my twenty-something sister to see it at midnight but just couldn't bear the thought of staying up that late. I am paying for my sister to see it again so that she'll go with me to a 10:30 a.m. showing tomorrow. I bet that you and I won't be the only moms at the theater this weekend!

Fraya

Me too!

11/20/2009 at 3:05 pm

I am 29, pregnant with the second, and so excited that I am seeing it tonight that I can barely stand it! I'm only 4 weeks away and told my husband that I don't care if I go into labor - I'm not leaving until the movie is over!

I'm almost 36 , mother of 3,

11/20/2009 at 3:08 pm

I'm almost 36 , mother of 3, and I, too, LOVE Edward Cullen. I can't wait to see the movie and have to admit my evening reading has not been as exciting as when I was reading the Twilight series. Slightly embarrassing but this summer when I was telling a friend she should read Twilight she said that was the series her 10 year old daughter was reading at the moment.

Guilty Pleasure

Okay, Im 30 and a mother of 2 and I am going today to see New Moon. I am not embarrassed one bit. We should be proud that we still have the ability to enjoy these types of things. I've read the set twice, and would read them again, if my family would let me! I'm surprised that they survived without me when I read them the first two times.

CuriousBug

Absolutely!

11/20/2009 at 7:22 pm

I am a 34 yr old mother of two, and I LOVE the Twilight Saga! I saw this movie this afternoon and it was AWESOME. I'm not embarrassed one bit. After I saw the movie, and went down to Wal*Mart and bought two New Moon t-shirts. I am totally in love with Edward Cullen and am developing a crush on Rob Pattinson (the first time that I have EVER crushed on a younger guy -- that makes me feel OLD). At the screening I attended, I'd say it was 90% adults, very few children/tweens/teens. The theater was almost full. So, no, you aren't alone. In one of my online mom groups, a group traveled to Chicago to see the film and they certainly aren't tweens. :-)

Embarrassing confession-I

Embarrassing confession-I love to watch Keeping Up with The Kardashians, The Hills, The City, Tough Love and Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew in my 30's!!! That may be worse than Twilight, I don't know!!!

TwiHard fan

Im 27 and am in loveee with

11/21/2009 at 6:04 am

Im 27 and am in loveee with the saga. New Moon has yet to reach our country but can't wait to watch the premiere screening on 26th. Don't be ashamed coz you are definitely not alone :)

Sorry Erin, I gotta disagree

11/21/2009 at 12:39 pm

Sorry Erin, I gotta disagree with you on this one. I just finished reading New Moon and found it terrible, terrible, terrible. At the end I found myself thinking, Bella needs to be in therapy for his dependency on Edward. That's not love. Thats obsession. However, at 26, before I got rid of my cable, I was known to watch the Hills and the Real World which I think are almost as bad as being an Edward Cullen fan.

you're not alone!

i'm 29 and a mother of one and went to the thursday night midnight showing of twilight and new moon (and the harry potter series) with my college friends. we got together a week before and made our own home made t-shirts to wear to the movie. i loved the books and while i thought bella should have taken some time to see a shrink sometime in new moon i really enjoyed them. i've even gotten my mom and mom in law to read and love them. don't be ashamed of you're love of team edward... unless you're like that 40 year old mom at a convention that asked 17 year old taylor lautner to sign her panties... yikes!

I am older than you and I

11/22/2009 at 9:32 pm

I am older than you and I have a tennage daughter. We both read the entire Twilight series, and loved it. she saw New Moon last night and I'm going tonight with another older Mom. We both cannot wait. It feels like I've been waitaing for this movie forever. Hey we deserve to feel that passion too - does this make us cougars? Nah, it's all just fun!!

Erin, I also waited in line

11/24/2009 at 2:07 pm

Erin, I also waited in line Friday night to watch New Moon. I am pregnant with our 2nd child and love the books too. I was so excited to go see the movie, my sweet hubby made fun of me but I don't care. I got obsessed with the books and read like all 4 in a week and a half!!! What did you think of the movie?!

Twilight Rocks!

So, myself and 4 of my friends went to see New Moon Friday 11-20. The line was terribly long and the movie was just not that great. Compared to the books it teeters on just plain bad, but we still had to go check it out. Our ages ranged from 28 to 36 (all Moms) and we had a BLAST going. Well, until the lights went out in the threater and our little tween friends started shrieking. Then I thought this may NOT have been the best idea. Good thing we had a drink before we went! The books were fantastic though and I just read another series that was pretty good. The Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris are also very addictive. The True Blood series on HBO is based off of these novels.
