A Year in Review and our 2012 Twilight Resolutions

Posted by unintendedchoice on December 30th, 2011

Dear Twilight,

It’s that time of year when we recap the previous year & look back at our resolutions from 2011 & rate HOW we did. Are UC & Moon winning or are those people who want us to fail succeeding in their quest to bring down LTT & all who go with it? First started in 2008 with: Resolutions we promise to keep longer than a week, then followed up with our Resolutions for 2010 and picking up last year with our Year in Review and 2011 Resolutions, let’s recap our resolutions for this past year and take a look at what 2012 might have to bring!

We WON the resolution for most random Twi picture EVER!

1. Breaking Dawn Part 1 (and 2) RED CARPET! – We’re starting our recap off with a big HECK YES WE DID THAT! Who could forget that chilly LA evening when Moon did LTT proud & got hit on by actors whose names we forget while doing everything she could to get Rob’s attention. We were so proud of our girl, and as I stood shivering in my section of the carpet getting pictures with Billy Black and NOT Jackson (intentionally- did I tell you that story? No?) I thought of how PROUD I was that we could yell a big HALE YES to this resolution (no seriously– as I was standing there in the presence of Rob, Stephenie & that guy from Revenge, I thought about this blog post. That’s Normal) Verdit= WIN

UC/Moon- 1 People who want us to fail- 0

2. Meet Big Daddy – Sadly, this was the 2nd year where we failed at this resolution. Does the universe really not want us to meet the greatest Big Daddy in all the land? Verdit= FAIL!
UC/Moon- 1 People who want us to fail- 1

3. Make another appearance at this year’s Comic Con in San Diego. Not only did LTT have represntation at 2011 Comic Con but Moon CAMPED OUT OVERNIGHT. Oh yes, she broke her own personal code of “I will never ever camp out for any thing unless it’s Justin Timberlake related” for US. And has been filled with 2nd hand embarrassment over the fandom since. Verdit= WIN
UC/Moon- 2 People who want us to fail- 1

4. Since UC got to meet and interview Jackson Rathbone and be bequeathed the most unfortunate name of: Superfan, Moon too must undergo the embarrassment of being called Twilight Superfan in 2011 by interviewing Kellan Lutz or another 2nd tier cast member. Well, it wasn’t Kellan Lutz or Jackson Rathbone, but does NOT talking to Mike Welch while trying to get Rob’s attention count?? I think so!

Verdit=WIN!
UC/Moon- 3 People who want us to fail- 1

5. Host another LTT blow out shin dig during the premiere week of Breaking Dawn Part 1! Preferably with karaoke because “Back to December” will NEVER sound as good as it would at an LTT party after drinking Cougarita’s or Mr. Choice’s special concoction called “Bella’s Blood.” Oh host a shindig we did!!! While this year’s party wasn’t as big as last year’s party, we did have better door prizes. I mean a Twilight flat iron? And stuff from the LTT store? HECK YES! And Mr. Choice made his Bella’s Blood again.. and of course to make his “I’m the best bartender in the world” big head even bigger, it was the first drink we ran out of! Verdit= WIN!
UC/Moon- 4 People who want us to fail- 1

6. Infiltrate the set of Breaking Dawn for some sort of exclusive access. The people who wanted us to fail won out on this one! We had absolutely NOTHING that resembled a Breaking Dawn set visit. Verdit= FAIL!
UC/Moon- 4 People who want us to fail- 2

7. Go to Venice Beach, break into Cathi’s groovy beach pad and steal THE AUDITION TAPE so that we can finally put to rest her claims of their amazing chemistry for what it really is: 2 awkward young adults making out on an old ladies bed while she tapes it. Hahaha this resolution STILL makes me laugh & while I wish more than ANYTHING we could tell you we have an end of the year surprise- a screening of THE AUDITION tape starting at 12 am on New Years Day, sadly, we stayed far, far away from Venice Beach and all forms of TGIFridays. Or wait…. did I ever tell you about the time that our Belgian LTT friends Alice & Bella from the long gone (SAD) site Not an Addikt visited New York City & I met them for the day? And we ended our time with drinks at the, gulp, TGIFridays in TIME SQUARE??? I’m so ashamed for us and all the Asian tourists that were also there. And the sad bartender from Jersey. Verdict= FAIL!
UC/Moon- 4 People who want us to fail- 3

Oh would you look at that score card? 4 to 3? Looks like we WON 2011!!!!

After the jump, catch our resolutions for 2012!!

1. In 2012 there will be BOTH Moon & UC on the red carpet: You KNOW this has to happen! Separating Moon & UC is like separating Bert & Ernie. It’s like separating Abbott & Costello- like Bella & Edward. We’re NOTHING without each other. You saw what happened, Moon couldn’t even get ROB to come over. If we’re both together, the magic will happen & we’ll get interviews with EACH of the members of the TRINITY plus get a picture with Kristen, just to piss people off! It’ll happen people!!!!

We want to show him this!

2. Meet Big Daddy: It’s been our wish the past 3 years, so it’s BOUND to happen this year, right? I’m sure it will happen on the day we plan to shut down LTT. We’ll be at the Olive Garden for our “It’s all over” Celebratory dinner (we’ll have to go there since all you lovely readers got together to get us a $2,500 gift certificate) and we’ll bump into him. Or it’ll be at the LTT Headquarters- Sprinkles Cupcakes, of course.

3. We’ll stop calling Pancho, Nacho. Because when you think about it, Nachos are  pretty gross (although delicious) and Pancho is… well, let’s just call him a Silver Fox. Or… wait— even better:  Silver Wolf…

4. Speaking of Pancho, next year we think that we’ll get an invite to a Meyer family party. It’ll happen because one night, after Stephenie leaves her lap top open with LTT up on the screen, Pancho will sit down and read the entire LTT archives, after which he’ll be convinced he needs us around for taco night. The kids are gonna love us! We have boys-sized T-shirts in the LTT store we can bring!

5. We will learn to spell Renesmee correctly as well as learn the names of the rest of the Z-list vampires in Breaking Dawn 2 so if they let us on the carpet again we’ll know how to differentiate them from the Kartrashians. (Moon may have asked one of the Irish vamps what it was like having Kim as a sister)

6. Ask Bill Tancredi to start a Rascal flatts cover band with a straight face. Have no idea who Bill Tancredi is? Watch this interview Moon did from the red carpet & don’t tell me it doesn’t make you want to break out in the chorus to “What Hurts the Most”

7. Try not to laugh too hard or say “I told you so” when the Hunger Games marketing & advertising blitz blows Twilights out of the water: We’re calling it now- the marketing will come complete with a Jennifer Lawrence/Liam Hemsworth/Zac Hutchinson fake-not-fake relationship. We’ll watch as their fandom implodes, as well, feeling proud that we were there first! Keep Strong HG fandom- it’s really worth it!

Is it really almost 2012!? Is it possible that this is our FOURTH Resolutions list!? We’re growing up SO fast! Remember when Taylor was underage & we talked about Chris Hansen all the time!?

Love,
UnintendedChoice & theMoonisDown

What are your 2012 Twi- or non-Twi resolutions!

See you next year!

Our internet game is ridiculous: LTR, The Forum, Twitter, The Store

    If my pictures counted towards your new year’s resolutions then you would have a beautiful picture of me, VickyB and Justin Chon on the red carpet. I believe that I’d get extra points for quickly stating, “let a playa play” as he walked away.

    We’d also get bonus points for me asking Gil to squat for VickyB since she’s short and took off her shoes.

    Otherwise, my Twi-resolutions are:
    1) Make Moon camp out for one night again at Comic Con. (Fingers crossed that Summit interview with her in line at 6am ends up on the DVD. She looks great even if she didn’t have time to put on her mascara.)
    2) Increase the number of interviews that Krazy_Kidd does in line with her sunglasses on since she clearly had “CRAZY EYES”
    3) Become very Zen when Janetrigs starts planning for BD Part 2 trip now with color coded charts (do we have a nick name for that yet?)
    4) Make Moon finally visit me and UC in Philly. (IT IS YOUR TURN)
    5) Comment more often on LTT…also get to know more of the regular commenters (HI).
    6) Finally, write all the letters for LTT that have been filed away in my head for a couple of years.

    I hope that everyone has a great New Year!

    • #4 AMEN

    • MariaCecilia

      *Groaning* Do you HAVE to camp out at Comic Con? Really? I can’t bring my camping equipment on the plane..so, I guess, if Moon is up for it and has some awesome sleeping bags, I might join her? Please?

  • Notanaddikt Bella

    How can teaching ignorant Europeans about the joys of cougaritas at TGIFriday’s be a fail? I thought you guys had made TGIFriday’s up until you finally enlightened me! I say WIN!

            Yeah, so the poms don’t act like Europeans and don’t wanna be Europeans but they can’t help it – they are. The royal family is German… As for cougaritas, let’s meet up on Jersey and work it out for ourselves hee hee

    • hahaha.. didn’t we take a picture? I looked last night and couldn’t find one if we did. BOO

  • Cazza/Laxplays

    *whispers* my New Year’s resolution is to make sure that LTT & LTR does not close their doors for good….even a post once a month would be better than nothing!! It doesn’t even have to be Twi related…..

    Secondly, I would like to retake my picture with Ron, I wasn’t quite happy with my hair or cheesy grin that day in LA. And he looks a tad goofy too.

    Thirdly, I’m gonna head back to LA to end it all and my hubby will breathe a sigh of relief that this shit is over!

    I’m sure there are more but that’s it for just now!

    • “*whispers* my New Year’s resolution is to make sure that LTT & LTR does not close their doors for good” Thank you :):):)

    • MariaCecilia

      Yes, if there are ways to make sure I can keep getting my LTT/LTR fix, I will sign up for it! Staffing problems? Economic problems? Existential issues? I’m up for it! There is a solution to every problem…

    Resolution: actually get to LA this year (Comic Con?) and get invited to LTT headquarters for cougaritas. Which will lead, inevitably, to …

    Resolution: awkwardly drunk make out with someone from LTT, perhaps a giggly reenactment of the CougarBed. (I’ll be Rob!)

    Resolution: Participate in at least one documentary on the batshit Twilight fandom,  in hopes of conveying the Normalness of ….well, of some of us, anyway. (Thanks a lot, TwiMoms.)

      I think we will bare witness to 1 and 2.

        I want to come too. I am low on time, and do not live up to my fangirl potential, but hey that keeps me normal-ish. I promise to behave. No I promise to embarrass everyone including myself. Whatever gets me in the door.

    My next trip home to coincide with the Breaking Dawn Part II events in LA. Don’t tell my Dad I’m detouring – Australian pensioners can be damn
    cranky (any tougher and they’d rust)

  • Anonymous

    I resolve to get my husband to watch Water for Elephants.  My hope is that will be his gateway drug where he’ll realize Rob doesn’t bother him so much afterall and will cave into giving Twilight a chance.

    Impossible you say? 

    Yeah, well, a girl can dream.

      Did you discuss with him the benefits to him of liking Rob? Specifically, the sexy feelings Rob gives you are very much transferable to him. Unless Rob is nearby, and willing. Then all bets are off.

          Try it. Mr. Slut is the beneficiary of many a RobLust fervor. *nods*

    • Ummm… TJE – if he won’t watch Twilight, I can’t see how you are going to get him to watch WFE.  That movie was a major snore.  MUCH worse for ‘dudes’ than our lovely Twilight.  I say you have to get him hooked on the Kristen Stewart juice.  Start with Welcome to the Rileys or Runaways. He can transfer his KristenLust fervor in your direction *respectful nod to MNS*

      • The Old One

        I thought of you when I saw this photo, KStewBoy, although I’m kind of mystified why I’m being a photo pimp for you.  I guess I just like your unashamed enthusiasm:

      • MariaCecilia

        Oh, you Unbeliever! I’ll have you know I had my husband sit quietly through WFE without any disciplinary problems!  But perhaps that is testament to our marriage more than to WFE? What do YOU think?
        (KStew is a non-issue, but I have Welcome to the Rileys prepared in my underwear drawer for later. He liked Runaways, but then he was always into vintage rock’n’roll, so I can’t be sure…)

        • OldOne – THANK YOU for that yet unseen side-boob shot of my girl.  I am forever grateful.  But I don’t know if I have the skill to Photoshop my head in Rob’s place.
          And yes, my enthusiasm has zero shame.
          Maria – if your hubby sat quietly through WFE, then yes, he loves you without reservation.  He’s a good one.  Because that movie was insufferable.  And I can’t wait for you to unleash WTTR on him.  I’m excited for him!!  I’m so gay.

  • TeamSeth

    omg when taylor was underage! (sniff sniff)  And your thing about having boys’ shirts in the LTT store made me think about how old stephenie’s kids are getting! It’s just crazy. Even here, NoCoolName’s baby is almost a half a year old, and I remember back before it even was even conceived! It’s just insane. So many changes.

    My NYResolution is to meet Moon!!!!  I met UC already, now it’s time for the other half of the friendship bracelet charm! 🙂  Luckily this resolution will be kept very quickly as I’m going to LA this coming weekend.  See you Monday, Moon! 😀

  • My New Twi Resolution for 2012 – stop wasting my time at other Twilight sites.  LTT is the first and last word on intelligent and witty adult Twilight commentary!

    • awwwwww xo

    • MariaCecilia

      Other Twilight sites?? Please explain this comment…

      Where were you all those years ago when it first started? We’re glad you’re here now! 😉

      • Hehe – I will not give credit to any other sites by naming them.  They are dead to me.  I am LTT till I die (or my employer puts them on the black list).  UC – you are my second hand Twilight hero.

  • MariaCecilia

    No, no, nooo..Hunger Games will never ever equal Twilight for on-screen, off-screen romance rumours and crap, no way! I’m predicting major fail on the romance part, since I think Jennifer is a cool actress who deserved a better match than she got in this. People will be bored before the second film hits the market…

    You want New Year resolutions? How about:
    1) writing the book about your life on LTT and getting it published at the Writer’s Coffee Shop?
    2) Meeting up with Billy Burke for an exclusive interview about the joys of parenting, and get his copstache as a trophy?
    3) Being the lovely bridesmaids when Robsten finally ties the knot, and getting drunk with Cathy the Cougar at the afterparty?

    • Bubs

      You’re right MC. “Hunger Games will never equal Twilight”. Full stop Amen. Overall, I found it quite a depressing “series”. I won’t be bothering to read it again…. who needs to be depressed [!]

      • Anonymous

        I don’t know… I was on vacation these past two weeks and saw the hunger games books breaking out like a rash. EVERYONE was reading the first one. Personally, I really enjoyed them (read them like twilight: as crack) and can’t wait for the movie. For insane fervor, though, not sure anything can match Twilight 🙂

    Resolved: Get to LA in November.  I’m asking for a trip, sans children, as my combined birthday and Christmas gift.  Premiere?  Eh.  Camping out?  Hale no.  Midnight showing with LTT girls?  Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease.

    • TeamSeth

      It’s all happening!

      Okay, so possibly, maybe, possibly, if I’m still out here, we could drive down together? I’m slated to pick up KBV and Natteringyeahrobber along the way. Think of all the money saving on gas!  And we can bring my tent along (not to camp in, of course, just to set up in tent city so we have a presence and can get our wristbands for the premiere).  Ahem.  Anyway… we’ll see. Maybe we can bring a proper Twilight tree down with us and set it up at camp.  That’ll make everyone jealous of how hardcore we are. Douglas Fir in Nokia Live? HALE YES!

      • MariaCecilia

        How about an itsy-bitsy-tiny detour by way of Scandinavia? You’re driving green, right?

            If I drive down, I will definitely come via your town to join the carpool.  That sounds like WAY more fun than flying, if I can swing an extra day or two for the road trip.  Especially if there’s a musical montage involved.  (I also make fantastic roadtrip playlists, if I do say so).  
            I REALLY like the way you think about camping/ not camping.  And the tree is a definite win.  Who’s gonna mess with our unoccupied tent if there’s a tree anchoring it?

          So, 1 very large glass, grenadine and 1 bottle of gin. Is a straw needed as homage to BD? I’ll leave out the orange, its giving me images of congealed blood. And a hint of strawberry? Is that what Bella smelled like to Edward?

    Well, since it’s 2012 over here now I’ve given a bit more thought on how I need to sort out my Twilight life with a couple more resolutions:

    1. Buy at least one LTT T-shirt. Decisions, decisions: Team Aro (’cause I’m old), Tweed Serious, Fade to Sad or She’s Normal

    2. Limit reading the Saga to no more than four times in the next twelve months (ok, five if things get a little rough)

    3. Introduce Twilight to at least three more people I haven’t pestered yet (this includes the LTT world ’cause it’s like chocolate dusting on your cappuccino, not necessary for appreciation but what an enhancement)

    4. Meet at least one other LTTer. I’m aiming for midnight in LA

    5. Make a serious attempt to find Ron lustworthy ’cause I feel I’m missing out. (All I see is an slightly-better-looking-than-average English boy who’s losing that edge as he gets older. And seeing his films just makes it worse – it’s not that he’s a bad actor, I just wouldn’t call him a good actor…)

    • TeamSeth

      Your #5… YES!  I mean, I’m did that this past year (made a serious attempt to find him lustworthy–fail), so it’s not a resolution of mine, but I feel your pain.

      I hope to meet you in LA 🙂  I’m definitely going, no matter where I’m living then. It will happen.

      And I love your cappuccino comparison 😉
