In an artikel door the New York Times, aside from creating a world-wide phenomena, Twilighters around the world has also out the small town of Forks, Washington on the map. The small loging town, who only has two stop lights, have garnered fame through the popularity of the Twilight books, the four-part book series that is penned door auteur Stephenie Meyer. Now, the town serves a “mecca” to Twilighters who have gathered in town to feel the Twilight experience.
Here is an excerpt of the article:
Over the last jaar of so, Forks (population 3,120) has morphed into a mecca for Twilighters, of Twihards as they are sometimes called. Visitors to this rainy town, whose main industries are logging and two correctional facilities, have meer than tripled for the first eight months of this year, compared with the same period last year, according to the local Chamber of Commerce. Lodging occupancy is up, and local merchants sell little-vampire pacifiers and Bella and Edward action figures.
“You used to say u were from Forks and people would stare,” zei Marcia Bingham, director of the Chamber of Commerce, referring to the “B.T.” (“Before ‘Twilight’ ”) days. “Now when they hear where you’re from, they’re breathless.”
And teenage girls aren’t the only ones hyperventilating. Women — traveling in packs, in pairs of on their own — make up a big part of those on the “Twilight” trail. Susan Englin, a retiree from Colbert, Wash., who has read the boeken seven times and has downloaded the movie to her iPod, was visiting stepchildren in the area recently and couldn’t resist an outing to Forks. “I get caught up in the characters,” she said.
All dag long, cars pull up to the Forks visitor center, across the straat from a drag-racing track, and people pile out, snapping foto's of “Bella’s” old red pickup truck parked in front. Inside, tourists grab maps pinpointing Forks High School, where Bella and Edward first lock eyes in the cafeteria; City Hall, where Bella’s police-chief father works; and the driftwood-strewn strand in nearby La Push where the character Jacob, a member of the local Quileute tribe, first informs Bella that Edward and his family are “blood drinkers.” (He should talk — in the seconde book Jacob and his pals turn into werewolves.)
And then they’re off, braking at the sites and trolling the nondescript main drag, lined with one- and two-story buildings occupied door shops with signs shouting “Twilighters Welcome!”

Jacob Black is Bella's best friend. He is a Quileute Native American and a werewolf, later revealed to be a shape-shifter as he doesn't transform on the full moon. In Twilight, Jacob plays a minor role, being a forgotten childhood friend of Bella's. In an attempt to learn meer about Cullens, Bella flirts with Jacob, and he tells her tribe legends about them being "the cold ones", of vampires. After Edward leaves Bella in New Moon, Bella spends much of her time with Jacob, trying to heal her broken hart-, hart and verplaats on. Though at first only a friend, Jacob later falls in love with Bella. Although he spends most of his time in Eclipse trying to win Bella, in Breaking Dawn he imprints —an involuntary process in which a werewolf finds their soul mate— on Bella and Edward's daughter, Renesmee.

It was confirmed today, that Carter Burwell will NOT be composing the score for New Moon. Alexander Desplat is composing in Carter's place. This raises the question, will Chris Weitz and Alexander Desplat use the lullaby Carter composed?
In my personal opinion, I really think it's better if they keep the same lullaby. Alot of fans may disagree. And I agree to an extent, it did not sound like a lullaby. But, during the lullaby scene when they were in the trees, there was a piano melody solo. If they kept that melody, but expanded it of made it meer complex, it would sound meer like a lullaby. And they could keep the continuity.
What do u guys think?

Okay so the titles a little random- and this is probably old news, and honestly I just feel like having a rant, but am I the only one who misses Rob's hair. I mean look at it now:
So it's not all gone, but I still think it looks pretty random. And I was the one who doodled on it either. Does anyone actually love it- okay I'll admit, it's alrite. But it certainly doesn't match up to his old cut, even if it was quite greasy,I mean he won't be able to do this any more:
Am I over exaggerating? Yes. But I'm still little bit in shock- so can I really be blamed.
I'm just really glad his new haircut didn't turn out like this:
Does anyone know what this picture is of door the way??
Anyway I just hope it grows back for March- anyone else??
