56. Going to the twilight premiere with Gabzee
57. Watching G's SHIRLEY TEMPLE
58. Punching a couple twilighters in the throat for screaming at Robert Pattinson on screen
59. Seriously deconstructing the movie once it's over.
60. Stuffing our tummies with carbolicious delights at Logan Road House.

61. Doing our best impersonations of KStew's terrible acting skills
por ejemplo:
"Your skin is pale white and ice cold" acting with the same loving enthusiasm you have when you are getting a root canal
or
"I'd rather die than live without you" acted with the same tone you have when you answer a phone call from a solicitor
priceless
ah, well. those were magical, or should i say those WILL BE magical moments. esp the part where we take peanuts from logan's roadhouse so we can throw them at annoying twihards.
poor david. i wonder if he knows shirley temple will be there?
peanuts are definitely the weapon of choice
David is HOPING for shirley...
