"If It Kills Me" song written by fan for New Moon

Okay, so I got this email the other day from a Twilight fan named Hana-li Pendry (check out her site here) and she said she had written a song for the upcoming new moon movie.

I decided to give the song a listen and you know what, I really liked it. I think this would be a good edition to the soundtrack for the movie—I'm not sure how one would go about submitting this for review, but I thought I'd at least do my part and post it here for fan review.

To hear the song, visit the New Moon movie blog—it's on the right side.

New Moon movie blog

Okay, here's something for all you Twi-hards out there (and even those of you who support the Twi-hards in your life). I have created a New Moon movie blog. Click here to check it out.

I am planning on having a myriad of things offered there, so check back often. In fact, right now you can download a 1900x1200 custom New Moon wallpaper for your desktop. There's also a poll on the left side to determine how many of you out there run with the Cullen Coven or the La Push Pack—I am interested to see who sides with who.

Anyways...

I Finished Breaking Dawn

I finished reading Breaking Dawn last night and I have to say that this is probably my favorite of the series. Actually, I like all of them and think that they should do one big print of all 4 books (now that would be awesome).

I loved it. Great story. Great characters. And the ending...oh my freaking goodness—what an ending. It was perfect. I really, really don't understand what a very small group of people were freaking about that caused them to want to return the book. Seriously. Come on, people. Really.

I am looking forward to seeing how Breaking Dawn will translate to the big screen, though. It should be a great movie.

I think I'll start the series over again.

You might have seen this if you watched the MTV awards last night, but for those of you who were busy reading the Twilight series for your 34th time, here's the official teaser trailer for New Moon, due out this November. Enjoy!

Status Update

Well, it seems like forever since I have posted anything on here. Sorry about that—it's this thing called life that seems to always take priority when I have a bit of free time.

There are a bunch of names that I am going to be entering. Sorry if you have emailed your name and haven't seen it yet. I'll do it soon, I promise. On a lighter note, I can happily say that I have officially started reading Breaking Dawn. I am about 250 pages into it—and just like the other books, this one is a good read so far. I am looking forward to New Moon this fall.

Anyways, life's calling again. Later.

Supporting Those We Love

Dear fans,

Let me preface this post with a sincere thank you to all of the many Stephenie Meyer and Twilight fans who have joined us in supporting the cause of supporting her in all her endeavors, no matter what they are. We are over 1,350 supporters deep and the names are still coming in. We sincerely appreciate all of the thoughts and comments that you have made since we went live with this blog. YOU are amazing—don't let anyone tell you different.

Now, onto the purpose of this post.

Ask yourself this question. What do you do when you've read the Twilight series several times and seen the movie at least as many times. How do you pass the time while waiting for the next Twilight book or movie to come out? You could re-read the series again, sure. But, why not spend your time with another obsession? Another obsession? Is there such a thing among Twi-hards? Sure there is—and for one fan, It's a small television show called American Idol.

Before my wife was addicted to Twilight, there was (and still very much is) American Idol. She has watched every season since the beginning. If anything, she is the ultimate American Idol fan—at least in my eyes. So, while she waits for the release of the next Twilight film (which is going to rock) she spends her free time blogging (among other things). She is now what I would call a seasoned blogger, even though she's only been doing it for less than a year. One of her latest blogs is following this season of American Idol. You can read what she has to say here: http://www.followingamericanidol.blogspot.com. I support my wife's American Idol addiction as much as I support her Twilight addiction, and because I support her in this, I feel the need to share her passion with everyone I can.

If you can pull yourself away from your tattered, torn and tear-stained copy of Twilight, I would encourage you to check out Following American Idol and support my wife in her latest blogging adventure. Follow American Idol through the eyes and emotions of the biggest fan that I know of, my wife, Heather.

Thanks for your support.

P.S. Did I mention that Heather has a life-size cardboard cutout of Edward in our room? He likes American Idol. too...

It's been a long and crazy road to this point in time—and I have a feeling that we've only just begun (can't hurt to throw in a little Carpenters plug, for those of you who remember).

We have now reached 1,350 supporters—people from around the world. Thanks for all the emails, pleas and thoughts. I hope that Stephenie is still following our progress.

Believe it or not, the names are still coming in... from all over the world! Thanks to all of the loyal fans and those that are just discovering the books through the movie or other means. Check this story out from one of the many SM supporters:

Megan Hadsell from Illinois writes:

"Hello! My name is Megan Hadsall and I am from a small town in Southern Illinois called Galatia. We have a population of around 2,000 people. I graduated from Galatia High School just last May and I am currently attending Southeastern Illinois College. During my senior year almost every girl in my class had read twilight aside from me. I was curious but hadn’t always been into the whole reading thing. Nicolas Sparks and C.S. Lewis were about the only authors whose books I had read. Almost a week after twilight came out in theaters I took my mom to see it, neither of us too interested although I was still very curious. We both LOVE it. After seeing the movie my mom had to grab a few things from a nearby wal-mart. Turning into the book section we saw Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. We bought two of each on the spot. A few days later we had gone to another wal-mart just before going to my cousins’ baby shower. Walking down the isle I turned my head to the book section. Right out in the open was Breaking Dawn. My mom shrieked, not even kidding, and I reached out to grab two of them. These aren’t just books. They’re much more than just books. My mother and I have started a little two person book club. Every day we call one another and talk about nothing other than your books. We look at blogs and try to stay informed about what’s going on. We were definitely very upset when informed about the fifth book, Midnight Sun. We both think that it would be a most WONDERFUL idea to write the books in Edwards point of view. I have always wanted to know just what he was thinking the whole time and more about his past. I told you early in this letter that I wasn’t the biggest reader. That was until I read your books. I can’t seem to put them down. I carry them everywhere with me. I used to not take breaks at work but I do now just to have thirty minutes to get away. I take them to school, work, home, my mom’s house, and wherever else. When I read your books I feel unexplainable. You have hit every one of my emotions. While reading I have been mad, yelled “NO”, been sad, have cried, been happy, have laughed, been uncertain, struck with “butterflies”, felt loved, have been in love, and much more. You can’t even imagine the looks that people have given me. Can’t you see that we need you? Not only my mother and I, everyone, especially your fans. You have opened up a new world full of endless possibilities. You have turned at least one non-reader into a reader. I would be Very disappointed if you don’t publish any other books. I believe I speak for many others and not just myself. I can’t thank you enough for what you have done. If anything, you have mine and my mothers support all the way. GO STEPHENIE!"

Thanks again to all of you who support Stephenie Meyer.

Conflict of Interest... I Guess

I thought I'd write a quick note and let you all know why there are no more buttons offered on this blog—or pass onto you what was passed onto me.

Apparently, Summit Entertainment sent a letter to the zazzle.com team and threatened legal action against them if the buttons we not removed. Now, I don't know if this was just my stuff or Twilight stuff in general. I tried contacting zazzle, but all I got from them was an email saying that they were threatened with legal action due to copyright infringement from Summit and Stephenie Meyer, so they removed my buttons. I have not heard back from Summit Entertainment, and doubt that I will.

I still support Team SM, and I am still planning on distributing where I can. Just thought you ought to know what the deal was.
