This was such an AWESOME geeky post, I had to repost it here. This is surely the best coverage of a Twilight premiere showing!

Eclipse Premier: My Random Observations On The Mania

Excuse me.

I’m operating on three hours sleep.

I went to the opening of Eclipse last night.  At midnight.

Before you jump off of my page in fear that I am going to reveal some plot turn or devastating spoiler, rest assured, I am not.  There is nothing to reveal, anyway. Vampires hate wolves. Both want Bella for some unknown reason. They fight. The end. You’re welcome.

For me, the actual movie wasn’t even close to the most entertaining part of the evening.

Let me back up a second and clarify my position for you – I am not a true Twilight fan.  Oh, to be sure, I LOVED the books.  I spent 2 1/2 weeks of my life ignoring everything around me while I devoured them.  But the movies don’t actually interest me.  I could wait for them on Netflix.

What interests me is the whole Twilight phenomenon.  The MANIA.

I have this close friend who loves Twilight.  She has a wicked sense of humor and is in the same age demographic as I am.  She loves Twilight as much as she loves making fun of herself for loving Twilight.  And THAT makes it enjoyable.

She invited me to come along with her and some of her neighbors to the premier.  I, in turn, dragged my sister.  And that is where the hilarity began.

I don’t know how to describe the evening without writing a book myself, so I am going to limit this post to random observations of the night:
