Not just because I have loved Ryan Gosling since The Notebook but because the music was fantastic. All the songs were stuck in my head for days and hence I had to find some piano sheets to get it out of my system.<br />
<br />
I love the medley below arranged by Elizabeth Hall. Has everything but not too fancy and was buried amidst a bunch of other YouTube posts for La La Land.<br />

So I decided to create one for 2017 based on Google and some research.<br />
<br />
Sorted by Disney location and listings are Family Medicine friendly. Hopefully I'll find time to sort this by date and topic in the future. <br />
I have not attended a CME by any of the companies below so no reviews to provide. Let me know if I've missed any.<br />
<br />
I have added a runDisney tag for meetings that could coincide with a race.<br />

<br />
I just met Stephenie Meyer today. Our national bookstore chain <a href="http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/storeevents/">Chapters/Indigo</a> hosted an event for The Host and it wasn't publicized until 2 days ago!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rWTjzdMGTms/USxRDUDRugI/AAAAAAAACvU/mth2NULNJKU/s1600/the-host-movie-poster_400x600.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rWTjzdMGTms/USxRDUDRugI/AAAAAAAACvU/mth2NULNJKU/s320/the-host-movie-poster_400x600.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<br />
Thanks to my sister who convinced me that this was worth moving half a days worth of patients on a last minute basis. They were all very freaked out when I called them mysteriously from my cell phone on Saturday afternoon at their homes but relieved it was just to change appointment times.<br />
<br />
The event was supposed to run from 5:30-9pm and I was surprised at 2pm that there were only 40 people in line. I guess it was a Monday and school wasn't out yet.<br />
<br />
What to do in line at a book signing? Get to know the lovely girls around you (since you need a buddy to save your space while you hit the loo) and watch Twilight on the good old iPad.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The Chapters VP came by and took some footage of us for a fan video for Stephenie and also there was a guest book circulated to pass time. There were some door prizes and contests as well for Chapters gift cards.<br />
<br />
For those of you who haven't been to a book signing before (like myself prior to this event), the staff walked us through every step of getting your books ready so you really can't screw up. They even write a sticky note with your name on it so you don't have to worry about blanking out in front of the author. I chose to leave my dust jackets at home for fear of wrinkling them and
also to bring my hardcover Twilight from our trip to Volterra because
it's actually the only hardcover copy of Twilight I have. <br />
<br />

<br />
Stephenie came on right at 5:30pm. The first girl in line had been there since 9:45 the day before (not clear if it was am or pm but still!!). Luckily the first 50 people in line (including me!) got to take a posed shot with her and not just a candid.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
When I told her I was a doctor and actually cancelled half my patients today on a last minute basis just to meet her she was shocked and laughed. Her response when I told her how worried I was that they might spot me on TV tonight was "just tell them that you were on an errand here and that there was some medical emergency in this store." She was very sweet.<br />

Today felt extra special because ever since I had read New
Moon I had wanted to write Stephenie Meyer a thank you letter. If any of
you have read the one of my early posts <a href="http://twilight-cupcake.blogspot.ca/2010/02/shameful-truth-about-how-twilight_7377.html">"The Shameful Truth"</a> you know New Moon meant a lot to me. The revelation
that Bella has about her being worthy of Edward's love changed my life
and perspectives about myself and my relationship. I never got the
chance to write that letter to Stephenie because I thought it would get
lost in the millions that she had.<br />
<br />
Well today I got the
chance to actually hand her a thank you card in person and express my
gratitude face to face. <br />
<br />
Driving home I kept thinking that I couldn't believe that this happened so quickly but then I remembered something Oprah had said. I had seen Oprah on stage last month in Vancouver (a Christmas present from my husband).<br />
<br />
Oprah was right when she said, "There is no such thing as luck. There's only preparation meeting the moment of opportunity. When that opportunity comes you must be ready to meet it with an open hand and not a closed fist."<br />
<br />
So happy... twilightcupcakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15752638084301205942noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062767807677407480.post-77417360139658257062013-02-10T19:50:00.000-08:002013-02-10T20:00:11.689-08:00Renesmee's Lullaby Piano Sheet MusicYou all know I love Carter Burwell's Twilight songs because they are so friendly for us amateur pianists. <br />
<br />
Here's the latest theme from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWHYbu4c2fw">Breaking Dawn Part 2 - Plus Que Ma Propre Vie</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Obviously that one's full orchestra but it has Renesmee's lullaby in the beginning.<br />
<br />
I like the song mostly because I like watching Edward play the piano.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Thankfully, there's a great piano cover done by Mercuzio who has provided free sheet music (if you take two seconds to register at the free site <a href="http://www.sonicbands.com/gli-spartiti-di-mercuzio/">sonicbands</a>) so if you're looking for sheet music for either Renesmee's lullaby or Plus Que Ma Propre Vie you're in luck. <br />
Just register at the <a href="http://www.sonicbands.com/gli-spartiti-di-mercuzio/?langid=1">Sonicbands</a> site and then in the search type in Carter Burwell and you should see Plus Que Ma Propre Vie is the third song down the list. Tip - just in case the site's in Italian the "change language to English" button is bottom left.<br />

It doesn't hurt that she's Oscar-nominated as well. She was on Dave Letterman this week promoting her new movie Pitch Perfect and performed what will always be known as "The Cup Song" to most people.<br />
<br />
Here's her interview. The Cup Song starts around 6:17.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tHvoMB25VVc" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
Right away I had to know how she did it - so cool! Some of you may be familiar with this cup thing. I guess it's been around for a couple decades but I think the singing part is new.<br />
<br />
I think this is the original video from Lulu and the Lampshades<br />

I rarely get sappy on this blog and I almost never ask for donations unless it's a very worthy cause. Well something important has prompted this post. <br />
<br />

<br />
As most of you know I'm a family doctor in Vancouver, B.C. One of the fellow doctors in my office told me last Christmas of her good friend Moses who was in the hospital fighting for his life after having caught a rare bacterial blood infection. Very random illness to a great guy who was a single father to a five year old boy and she was very heartbroken. I remember her whole family had a hard time over the holidays finding it difficult to celebrate when a friend was so sick. I had only met Moses a couple times at kids birthday parties but remember that he was the roommate to a med school friend and always a positive influence on everyone around him.<br />
<br />
Well Moses pulled through with his life intact but he lost his feet and his hands. Yes both feet and both hands. <br />
<br />
As I mentioned before, Moses is a single father of a five year old boy. He used to work as an insurance adjuster but Moses now has no means of income. He is out of hospital now and fighting to get his life back together. <br />

Read a bunch of smutty books while vacationing over two Hawaiian islands and renewed my love of crocheting miniature food. And finally got around to learning how to make macarons.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.laduree.fr/"><img border="0" height="246" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/25/s_9.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="205" /></a></center>
<br />
For years now I've been aching to return to <a href="http://www.laduree.fr/" target="_blank">Laduree</a> in Paris for a macaron. In the meantime we've considered taking a class to make macarons but instead of forking out the money for one I decided to venture it alone first. <br />
"Why make macarons?" you may ask. My hubby swears that they taste only 10% better than cookies but are 100 times harder to make. For me the macaron is kind of like the Holy Grail of baking. It's fancy and elegant with simple ingredients and just takes the right technique. The last part is the elusive thing that I hoped to capture.<br />
<br />

<br />
I used two different blogs for my research. Both are written by pastry chefs who have each made thousands of macarons. They contradict each other a bit so it took some fiddling with my own oven to figure out what worked. <br />
<br />
First blog is <a href="http://www.pastrypal.com/2011/01/master-the-french-macaron/" target="_blank">PastryPal</a> which is a great resource by pastry chef Irina Kogan. She wrote a <a href="http://www.pastrypal.com/2011/01/master-the-french-macaron/" target="_blank">Master the Macaron PDF</a> which is a free step by step tutorial with full colour photos. <br />
<br />

<br />
Amazing that she posts this for free. The reviews for it were good so I followed it to the letter and got pretty good results. <br />
<br />
Next blog was <a href="http://bravetart.com/blog/MacaronMyths" target="_blank">BraveTart</a> and this pastry chef Stella Parks has a lot of macaron info including a Mythbusters page to debunk macaron myths. She also has of course macaron recipes. <br />

After following pastrypal's tutorial exactly I was ecstatic that what came out of the oven looked like macarons! They tasted great and looked good but needed tweaking - alas my shells were hollow and the bottoms were sticking. <br />
<br />
Mistakes? I was very grateful that Pastrypal's pdf even has a troubleshooting section. She had suggested baking at 280 degrees for 17 minutes to start. Her oven must be better insulated than mine. Bravetart is lovely and answered my tweet and suggested to up the temp. <br />
<br />
Also I hand whipped the egg whites like Pastrypal did in the pdf but I'm obviously a whimp and not an experienced pastry chef because my meringue must not have been as stiff as hers were. <br />
<br />
I also learned that Bob's Almond meal/flour has a lot of particles the size of coarse salt. So much of the bag was made of these I had to include them after sifting for almost an hour. The macarons were only mildly grainy on the outside though. <br />
<br />
Regarding size I followed the pastry pal guide but think I prefer a slightly bigger macaron than her pictorial shows. I had a lot of trouble finding info online regarding the right size. Apparently Laduree Paris small macarons are 1.5 inches so I used that as my standard. <br />
<b></b><br />
<b></b><br />
<b>Second attempt</b><br />
<br />
Made the following changes:<br />
- ran almond flour through food processor pulsed a few times before adding to powdered sugar <br />
- all parchment paper used - less risk of sticking than my old silpat and ability to draw 1.5 inch circles on the other side of parchment for piping guides<br />
- insulated cookie sheet and regular baking sheet didn't seem to make much difference so used both<br />
- per Bravetart's advice I whipped the egg whites until they were so stiff I could turn the bowl upside down and they stayed put<br />
- turned oven up to 300 and watched them after 15 min - it took 19 minutes with a pan turn halfway since one half of my oven is hotter than the other. <br />
- used a more flexible silicon spatula to make sure I didn't deflate the egg whites while folding them with the dry ingredients. <br />
- between batches in the oven I cranked the temp to 320 for a few minutes to compensate for heat loss from opening the oven door<br />
Things I did despite Bravetart's debunking them as necessary:<br />
- I didn't age my egg whites in the fridge but did microwave for 10 seconds to dry them out a bit<br />
- I left them to dry after piping until the skins formed - took min 45 minutes in our Vancouver sunny day<br />
<br />
Well I got macarons that lifted off the sheet easily after a bit of cooling and were still chewy inside. Some were a bit "dome" like but not all so I may leave the shapes alone. <br />

<br />
Glad this second batch was successful. <br />
<br />
Things to change for the third batch<br />
- sift icing sugar first as the Bob's Almond flour clogs up my sieve<br />
- to smooth out the tops after piping for any macarons that have a bit of a peak after resting for 5 minutes as that peak will get baked and set<br />
<br />
Next up is flavored macarons and also nut-free ones too since I actually have a minor almond allergy but can't help myself around fancy French desserts. <br />

Last year I read <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Discovery-Witches-Deborah-Harkness/dp/0670022411/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1342387084&sr=1-2" target="_blank"><em>A Discovery of Witches</em> by Deborah Harkness</a> and loved it. It is part of a trilogy and the second book, <em><a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Shadow-Night-Novel-Deborah-Harkness/dp/0670023485/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1342387084&sr=1-1" target="_blank">Shadow of Night</a></em>, was just released this week. I couldn't put it down and now that I've finished it I feel bereft. Can't wait for the third book!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Xn2V99iWL._SS500_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Xn2V99iWL._SS500_.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Plot - of the first book: The main characters are a historian named Diana and a biochemist named Matthew who both teach at Oxford. Diana is denial of her family destiny to be a witch and Matthew is a 1500 year old vampire who becomes interested in her. Their original story revolves around their interest in an ancient book that only Diana has been able to call up from the library but then Diana becomes threatened by the other creatures who are also interested in this book. Matthew becomes her protector and then they fall in love, breaking all the rules that forbid relationships between witches and vampires.<br />
Lots of supernatural dangers and mysteries ensue. Quite enjoyable fantasy world that has made it difficult to return to reality while awaiting the third book.<br />
<br />
I find it most amusing that there are official Facebook pages for both main characters <a href="http://www.facebook.com/diana.bishop.73" target="_blank">Diana Bishop</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/diana.bishop.73#!/matthew.clairmont.58" target="_blank">Matthew Clairmont</a>. Very cute to watch them sending messages between each other.<br />
<br />
The books are being made into a movie and I have a hard time picturing who will play these characters.<br />
Matthew is the classic vampire with hair dark as night and beautiful angular facial features. Diana is blonde and frankly I don't remember how they've described her otherwise :) <br />

Some questions are the same as the <a href="http://twilight-cupcake.blogspot.ca/2010/09/master-of-universe-quiz-contest-day-7.html" target="_blank">previous quiz</a> but most are different. Have fun!<br />

This post is prompted by the 300 hits I get a day on my old blog at <a href="http://twilightcupcake.wordpress.com/2010/02/10/fanfic-get-it-while-its-hot/">wordpress.com</a><span id="goog_1735213183"></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_1735213184"></span> with requests for a PDF version of MotU.<br />
<br />
Do you know I've just finished reading 50 Shades of Grey? Shocking since I read MotU at least 10 times and have dedicated numerous posts to it and even helped design a MotU blog and quiz. Sigh that I felt like I would be betraying Edward Cullen for Christian Grey.<br />
<br />
Well, I am treating them almost like twin brothers and love them both. <br />
<br />
Here are some of my MotU graphics but revamped for 50 Shades of Grey.<br />

I came across the official Breaking Dawn Behind the Scenes footage. There is a good 10 minutes here. Maybe you've all seen it but I hadn't yet so I was super excited. A nice way to get my movie fix until I see it for the third time.<br />
<br />
It's a gentle reminder too that IT'S NOT REAL!! Yes this is silly since of course I know it's fiction but it bears repeating. Sometimes my brain becomes so ensconced in fanfic and Edward that it's a good jolt back to reality.<br />

</tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Is it cynical of me that I didn't expect to like Breaking Dawn Part 1? I didn't really confess that to people considering I'm supposed to be this huge Edward and Bella nut. But the thought of watching her grow gaunt and have Edward brooding in the corner while Jacob comforted her didn't seem like much fun. I guess I am a pessimist at heart and it even invades my love of Twilight. Enough that I forgot there would be this amazing wedding and supposed headboard breaking to look forward to.<br />
<br />
Well, I was proven wrong. I absolutely LOVED most of BD Part 1. You can guess since I'm so pro-Edward that the parts I didn't like were mostly Jacob and Wolf pack related. Like the scene where they all convene and Jacob eventually breaks off. I don't know why but I just start laughing and rolling my eyes even though it's supposed to be so tense.<br />
<br />
I'm not a huge music person. Although I love playing the piano and singing, I don't go running out to buy soundtracks before the movie comes out nor do I usually know any of the artists beforehand. But I have fallen hard for a few songs on this one.<br />
<br />
My favourite from the <a href="http://breakingdawnthesoundtrack.com/">Breaking Dawn soundtrack</a>?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://youtu.be/9l0YVxAp9TU">Turning Page</a> by <a href="http://sleepingatlast.com/">Sleeping At Last</a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/9l0YVxAp9TU?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
This was at Breaking Dawn Tent City - were some of you there for that?? Must have been amazing.<br />
<br />
Every time I hear this song I start to cry. I'm sure commuters driving past me must think I'm crazy. This song is so incredibly sweet and moving that I can't stop listening to it. The piano sheet music isn't anywhere to be found and I can't wait for months for Hal Leonard to release it so I'm praying someone has time on their hands to transpose it. <br />
<br />
<strong>So the surprises that I loved?</strong><br />
<br />
I didn't expect them to play 'Flightless Bird, American Mouth' during the vows. Absolutely floored and it made the scene perfect. Even Rob Pattinson admits that his favourite scene in the series is the Twilight dance scene.<br />
<br />
The speeches were a great touch. It was wonderful to see Edward get up there and tell the world how much he loves Bella. So relieving just to see him so happy!<br />
<br />
As much as I've made fun of Taylor Lautner in the past I was impressed with his performance. The scenes he had trying to convince pregnant Bella to have an abortion were good - really, he didn't totally suck ;)<br />
<br />
<strong>Things I wish were different?</strong><br />
<br />
Catherine Hardwicke had it right when she incorporated Bella's narrative voice into Twilight. Stephenie Meyer wrote everything in first person and most of us Twihards still think of the series in that way. There were definitely scenes where it would have been more complete to have Bella's thoughts accompanying the scene.<br />
<br />
For example, don't you all remember that the transformation was supposed to be awful? There was all of 2 seconds of that in the transformation sequence when her heart restarts. Major pitfall not having that included.<br />
<br />
Another part of the transformation that I wish was different? For some reason I always thought that Edward would be holding her hand or by her side that whole time rather than standing by the window waiting. I suppose it made it easier to do all the CG work without Rob's hair in the way but it doesn't seem very Edward like to leave her alone to suffer (even if they did think the morphine was sedating her).<br />
<br />
Well, I've only seen it twice in the theatres so far. I'm sure I'll watch it a couple more times still since it was just that good. Another year seems too long to wait for Part 2!!<br />
<br />
Well I'm off to work on the <a href="http://thefandomgivesback.blogspot.com/">Fandom Gives Back</a> compilation. I think FGB was close to reaching the $250,000 goal to help fight childhood cancer but every $5 donation counts so please go donate :) There are also <a href="http://thefandomgivesback.blogspot.com/">auctions for autographed books</a> - like my favourite Master of the Universe which has now been published by <a href="http://thefandomgivesback.blogspot.com/2011/11/fifty-shades-by-e-l-james.html">E.L.

This was my second <a href="http://www.creationent.com/">TwiTour</a> or as I like to call it TwiCon. My first was in Vancouver last year where I had brunch with Peter Facinelli (see post <a href="http://twilight-cupcake.blogspot.com/2010/05/brunch-with-peter-facinelli-twi-tour.html">here</a>).<br />
<br />
My favourite Breaking Dawn photos from the convention. I'm finding a way to make these my iPad wallpapers :)<br />

<strong>1. You don't have to sleep in the street for days to see Robert or Kristen up close.</strong><br />
<br />
They announced a few weeks before the convention that Robert and Kristen (oh and Taylor too) were going to be in Los Angeles. <a href="http://truebloodtwilight.blogspot.com/">HonoluluGirl</a> and I had said if there was any way we could pay to have good seats to see the Twi-fecta rather than sleeping on the street for 3 days (like our dedicated friends do for Comic-Con) that we would totally do it. Suzie - I missed you! You must come out next time :)<br />
<br />
<strong>2. I need a better zoom lens for next year (yes I'm going next year!)</strong><br />
<br />
Instead of shelling out 300 bucks for seats in the back for the whole weekend I banked on buying the Saturday reserved seats for 60 bucks. Managed to catch it pretty early after it was released. For reference I got seat D28.<br />

I didn't get great photos though. Why? I love my Canon S90 and decided to take it and gave Mr. TC the SLR for his photo tour. It still wasn't good enough. However, I did sneak some video footage for myself - teehee! I know you can see the whole panel online right now but it's much better when you took it yourself!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://sotwired.blogspot.com/">Twired Jen</a> has MUCH nicer photos and was sitting just a few feet behind me.<br />
<br />
Check <a href="http://sotwired.blogspot.com/">her blog</a> and others who had nicer seats (and nicer cameras) for all the great pictures. <br />

<strong>3. Hyatt Regency, although pretty, was lacking some amenities for a picky girl.</strong><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NrX4STQUdWo/Tr2ONMpFKGI/AAAAAAAACa0/W6cguofFQXk/s1600/hyatt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NrX4STQUdWo/Tr2ONMpFKGI/AAAAAAAACa0/W6cguofFQXk/s320/hyatt.jpg" width="254" /></a></div><br />
The <a href="http://centuryplaza.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp?null">Hyatt Regency Century City</a> where the convention was held was nice. Great convention rate of $189 down from $299 rack rate. Easy check-in and even better with a Hyatt Gold Passport that Mr. TC has from years of business travel. Nice good Beverly Hills feel. Downsides if you're a picky princess like myself? Missing bathrobes, slippers, hairdryer in room, and a showercap.<br />
<br />
<strong>4. There are crazy fans out there willing to pay $2000 for an autographed 8X10 of Rob and Kristen.</strong><br />
<br />
The auction started after noon. Most notable was a bedroom BD photo autographed by Rob and Kristen went for $2000! And I thought I was crazy.<br />
<br />
<strong>4. I could have flown in and out of LA on the same day and still seen the Cullens and Twi-fecta.</strong><br />
<br />
The schedule packed most of the good stuff into a few hours. After the auction at noon there was some secret footage and behind the scenes interviews. Not great but a nice taster.<br />
The Cullens and Twi-fecta with Director were on after them and everything was finished by 5:30pm.<br />
<br />
<strong>5. I am now a real fan of Jackson Rathbone. Oh, and I don't hate Melissa Rosenberg.</strong><br />
<br />

Now while I'm watching the Twilight movies I often bitch about some of the poor writing, etc. But to be frank I still think she has done a good job and the feminist in me is just happy to see more women in important positions. It was actually good to hear her perspective and also a bit more about her writing process.<br />
<br />
About Jackson, that man is such a character. It's such a 180 to see him as Jasper now because he's quirky, funny, sweet, and humble.<br />

<strong>6. All Edward merchandise is sold out on the Friday already.</strong><br />
<br />
I was on a mission to come home with a Breaking Dawn fleece blanket. Imagine my dismay when I showed up Saturday am and all the Edward merchandise was gone. Apparently the diehard Cullen Crest gold passport people are mostly Edward fans (of course I wasn't surprised, just disappointed). <br />
<br />
Next best thing?<br />
<br />
Head over to the nearest Hot Topic store. We don't have these in Canada so I was ecstatic there was one 5 minutes from the hotel. And of course they had a ton of Edward merchandise with no lines.<br />
<br />

<strong>7. The vendor room was worth it for the movie props.</strong><br />

I'm not sure how many of these are real. Frankly I don't care but happy to just delude myself.<br />

The only interesting display for the vendors was the <a href="http://www.barbiecollector.com/search/apachesolr_search/twilight">Barbie Collectors</a>. They had the whole display on sale. I wanted to buy the Jane doll but alas it wasn't for sale. They were just there to announce that in Feb 2012 there will be Bella & Edward Wedding Barbie dolls.<br />
<br />
They gave out Wisteria seeds as well - same as the Breaking Dawn wedding arch flowers. But alas no seeds can cross through customs so I had to leave them behind :(<br />
<br />
By the way I am oddly a huge fan of projected light displays. The convention entrance area was pretty to say the least. I wanted to take one of these things home.<br />

<strong>10. For some reason watching Kristen Stewart put her hair in a ponytail in mesmerizing.</strong><br />
<br />
I have no idea why I was so intrigued by this mundane action. Maybe it's because I've been waiting for years to see her in person. Or just that I've always liked her high ponytail looks. Regardless I was captivated. So weird!<br />
<br />
You can see the entire Rob/Kristen/Taylor panel (including the ponytailing) in its entirety <a href="http://mrpattinson.com/2011/11/06/full-video-from-the-twilight-saga-breaking-dawn-part-1-convention-panel.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
It was nice to hug some of my Twihard friends from out of town. I'm glad we had a chance to see each other even though it was brief. <br />
<br />
Well, I survived my first Rob and Kristen live viewing. I've realized that unless I get a new lens for next year I'll be spending lots of time taking pictures of the screen again :)<br />
