New Moon Official Trailer
IT’S PAST MIDNIGHT, AND YOU KNOW WHAT I’M DOING? Watching this:
About fifty times over. It’s the official New Moon trailer that just came out today. First off, Kristen’s acting may or may not have gotten any better. Edward is amazing, yet strained as always, but the best part is Jacob transforming into a wolf.
Yes, I know. I blog about Twilight all the time, but now I’ve really gone too far with admitting that I’m a Team Jacob fan. That was never meant to happen.
You see, when I first started the series, I had never heard of Twilight. Sure, I’d seen the girls packing around a black book with two palms cradling an apple on the cover, and wondered why it was so popular, but this was back in my eleventh year of high school when I was stuck in my own world and didn’t really care what my peers were doing. I was too busy hanging out in the school library with my nose stuck in a book.
I was in “study hall” for my sixth hour class, which basically meant I was free to do as I chose as long as I kept to the library. That’s not hard for me to do. I walked in with my bag slung over my shoulder and happened to glance at the New Releases section. Sitting on the top, all alone by itself was this thick black book, adorned only with a single flower on the cover. I was intrigued by the simplicity and complexity of the design so I decided to check it out. I was the first to do so.
I had just checked out New Moon, and left it lying on my floor for two weeks. It was starting to attain dust by the time I picked it up and skimmed over it. I was just about to decide it wasn’t worth reading when I cracked into the middle of the book and read the word “Wolves”. That’s it. I was going to read it.That night, I got about a third of the way through the book, all in one sitting. I was starting to fall hard – but not the vampire.
The next day, I asked the librarian for an extension which I did not receive. Confused, it was there, with the book tucked safely in my shoulder bag that I noticed the line of girls going out the door, and they were all rather curious as to when I’d have that checked back in. I fibbed and muttered that I’d bring it back as soon as I could find it, and then I went into the darkest corner of the library and read. I didn’t eat, I didn’t sleep and I forfeited doing my homework. The only thing that mattered was this book.
A very funny thing happens to you when you read New Moon first – you despise Edward. He claims to love her and he leaves her right from the get go. He doesn’t come back, and the only fractions of Edward you get are Bella’s delusions. Ones that I hoped would go away. I was Team Jacob, Team Wolf all the way.To be fair, I knew this would happen to me, because I have a secret: I collect wolves. I had (at the time) a wolf wallpaper border, wolf books, toys, stuffed animals, bedsheets and blankets. I had the tee shirts, the hanging photos and the post cards. I’d even spent a few days in Yellowstone, just studying their beauty. They are fascinating to me, and I can’t get enough of them. We can just say that I am biased when it comes to anything Canis Lupus.
Team Jacob for the win! So now you know, if you ever tell me that you “can’t stand those crazy Team Jacob fans” that I just might laugh about that. Is it possible to be “Team Both”? Because I think that’s where I am now. So Bella, honey, you decide which one you don’t want and I’ll be glad to take him!
Special thanks to Lauren from Laurens Bite, (only the coolest Twilight site on the web) for posting this video!
