Twilighters! (But still a Harry Potter geek at heart...)

We got a group together to go see Twilight at midnight on the release date. We all had our matching shirts we'd made, so that was tons of fun. I took a lot of pictures (and half of these are DaNae's, too), so enjoy......

Getting super, super excited...

Fake screaming!

Jenn and DaNae
(DaNae was adopted by Jenn's apartment during summer semester because she had not-so-good roommates)

Rebecca wrote "Bite Me" on my neck for me
Washable marker, though :)

We're at the back of the line..... *dread*

Those people can't be bigger fans than we are, why don't they go see it another night like normal people?

Just chatting (this was not staged at all...)

*SCREAM*

Soooo coooold

Me making a funny face and my neck

We ran into Jason and Steve (this is Jason) from our ward who got free tickets with a bunch of girls. Jason is the amazing pianist in our ward. He plays the organ sometimes, too. He can make up accompaniments and arrangements off the top of his head. Wow!

Edward Cullen ONLY (with fangs!)

Now we are at the front of the line-- haha, suckers!

The doors are drawing closer....

We're almost there...

One last outside shot

Rebecca devouring the popcorn

Still devouring...

Now Jenn's joined in....

Jenn is distracted momentarily

The anticipation is KILLING me!

More popcorn chowing down

BFFLs!! (Best friends for life!)

BITE

Ching-a-ling

All groupies

Midnight! It's DaNae's birthday! (We got the whole bottom section of the theater to sing happy birthday to her! She was so embarassed!)

After the movie... we give it a double thumbs up!

YAY TWILIGHT!!!

Wallpaper Becca made :)

THESE ARE DANAE'S PICTURES:

Silly face!

You're... gorgeous... Rebecca.... :)

Cute DaNae

Ah! WE are finally inside out of the cold! Notice Rebecca is enjoying is thoroughly...

It's almost time!!!

Groupies!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANAE!!

After the movie... TRIPLE THUMBS UP!

Rebecca has to pee...

The official Twilight nerds!

Before the movie there was a Harry Potter trailer, and I was not expecting it. It looks soooooo good, and I totally freaked/nerded out! I could not breathe and was hyperventilating the whole time. DaNae kept telling me to stop because it was so weird. I could not stop. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT MOVIE!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! And to think I could have been watching Harry Potter instead of Twilight if Warner Brothers hadn't moved the release date!

FHE Quilting

One night for FHE we did quilting with another family at the Wyview Central Building with Brother and Sister Gurney (in the bishopric) in charge of it all. It turned out really good. John got some fun pictures from that night, so I'll put them up. There are kind of a lot....

L2R: Cody (from the other family), Jeff, and Katie

Clarissa (roommate) was a little crazed for the camera that night.

John was trying to get a picture of Rissa's silly faces but she always ended up laughing before he got it.

Actually having friends!
My knowledge of the BYU Bookstore's inner workings

Ok I think that's a pretty good list. Hope you (and I) take less for granted now!

Weekend of Deprivation

So, funny story. I went to my bishop's house for Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday. I had a whole bunch of stuff with me because I was being shuffled from place to place and needed stuff in each of those places. Anyway, I left my laptop and a bag of other stuff in his backseat, and one of his daughters took me home, so I forgot all of that stuff. I had my cell phone with me, but the charger cord was in the bag, so that meant I was basically without a phone for a few days. Also, I was without my computer (GASP!) for a few days, too. Among other important things left were my make-up, my brush, and my hair straightener. Just things I really don't care about-- really. So, this was pretty much the strangest weekend I've had without those essential items. Right before my phone died, I wrote down all the numbers I could possibly need or that could possibly be of help to me while I was phone-less for a few days. I thought the list was funny, so I'll post it. If you're here, then you're special. If not, well, maybe I was just clicking through the names too fast. :)

Important Phone Numbers:
Vanfleets (people I was staying with)
Bishop (needed to get my stuff back at some point)
BYU Bookstore (in case I needed to call in to work)
Christine (would be in town for the weekend, too)
Clarissa (what are roomies for?)
Dad (in case I needed money, of course)
DaNae (you always have to have your BFFL's number)
Jeff (has a car and is in the state)
John (ditto)
Lorraine (my second mommie)
Mom (my BFF!)
Neil (in the same state, knows people with transportation)
Rachel (my RA)
Russell (only family in the state)
Sara (in case mom and dad weren't answering their phones)
Steff (gotta keep the roommates' numbers)
Steve @ the Bookstore (once again, if I needed to call into work)
Taylor (my home teacher)

So, it turns out I didn't really need any of these except the first one, but hey, "if ye are prepared, ye shall not fear."

Any favorites from my list? Leave a comment....
