I just wanted to update you guys and let you know I am keeping good on my promise. I have NOT actively sought-out or looked at a photo - or video - from Breaking Dawn since those first shots came out of Edward and Bella at the street fair on their honeymoon.Get this - I WALKED OUT OF A TRAILER at the movies a few weeks ago. How's THAT for being true to my word? It came on and my friend Nancy sucks in her breath and I go "WHAT?!" and she says "YOU - of all people - don't KNOW?!" I IMMEDIATELY stand up - and walk out. More like RUN out. Giggle. And then proceed to email some of my TwiBuds from my iPhone and say "I am alone in the lobby at the movies because I walked out on the Breaking Dawn trailer!!"
One thing I HAVE seen is the official poster - see above (note the "play" button which shows I took it right off the front page and did NOT press "play") - because I'm an IMDb dweeb and there is just NO way to avoid it. It reminds me of an ad from the 70s where he's feeling her smooth skin. Although he looks like he's about ready to assault her - and she looks like she likes it. Snicker. Well wouldn't you?!
ALSO - I will avoid the commercials when they start airing. I am THAT committed to being totally surprised and thrilled at the film when it finally comes out on November 18th.
It's been hard...but I can wait...because that's ALL SHE WROTE! LITERALLY! ROFLMAO! This is IT! Once BD1 and BD2 come out - it's all OVAH!
Oh and PS - an open letter to Stephenie Meyer:
Dear Stephenie,
First off - what's up, girl?!
Second - please finish Midnight Sun, mmmmkay?
Thanks! Love ya! Mean it!

Yeah!! I am glad that you are still spoiler free. I am trying.. really I am.
I will confess my slip up... I have listened to the trailer. I assume it is the new one, the official one. (I turned off some award show when the 3 walked out.. knowing they were introducing a preview. I think it was MTV Music Awards)
I have a friend who is gobbling up any little tidbit she can about this movie- and she said I HAD to watch the trailer. She knows my stance.. all I wanted to know was that it "felt" right. She said it did and she was all swoony and obsessive that I watch the trailer.. "I PROMISE it doesn't give anything away!" Then she said.. well, how about you just listen to it. So she set it up, turned off her monitor and I listened.. and honestly.. I wouldn't have known it was Breaking Dawn.. it was all music and just tiny bits of dialog. I still feel like I am spoiler free and will be going into this movie "untainted" Listening to a trailer is soo weird.. I could barely tell it was for Breaking Dawn. Thankfully it gave me nothing.. and she is no longer obsessively asking if I've seen it.
I have tried valiantly to avert my eyes and ears, but people insist on pasting clips and stills and hunting down every last snippet to put on their websites. I even hold my hand up over the screen while I try to scroll past images. I'm pathetic, I know. I just don't understand how you can want to see it all before you see it all, if you know what I mean. To each her own, I guess.
Be strong, people! Be strong! You can do this. WE can do this!!! :)
