I think I'd risk it

"I'd pass out. I can't talk about it, 'cause I'd pass out. It's because he's Edward. Listen, Edward can fly you through the forest. He's like Aladdin with vampire teeth -- there's magic-carpet rides. He can sing. He can watch you sleep. He plays music. He sniffs your neck. I mean, please!"

-- Jennifer Love Hewitt, on why she could never speak to "Twilight" hunk Robert Pattinson in person.

A few weeks ago I went with a group of ladies to Koka Booth Amphitheatre to watch Twilight at "Movies By Moonlight." It was so much fun! When the sun finally set and took the sweltering heat with it - it was perfect. We all brought something to eat - potluck style - and watched Twilight under the moon. In our group most of us had already seen the movie an obscene amount of times, but there were a couple of us who were seeing it for their first time. And, the place was packed! Jam packed! Chairs and blankets all smooshed together, folks oohing and aahing at all the right places, families & friends... it was magical.

I was recently introduced to Fan Fiction, in particular The Office*, which is a take on Twilight, but with the characters are all human... same names, same general chemistry between them, but different. [Author's] summary: Edward Cullen is a beautiful bastard. Period. At the top of his game, he has everything, money, cars and women. Bella Swan is his gorgeous assistant, and for 9 months he’s made her life miserable. One night changes everything. Welcome to the office. It’s time to get down to business.

*WARNING Kristi, this one - not for you... If you think True Blood is indecent, this is that times a hundred.
