The Twi-Off Challenge 2010



Ok so a while ago I posted about the midnight showing of New Moon. I talked about a party some gals we knew did in between the Twilight and New Moon movies. The party was awesome and so much fun. They did a great job. Anyway, Julie asked me to have a "Twi-Off" against Christy to see who knew more. Of course I am so competitive that once the challenge was thrown down I had to accept. I spent all of Christmas Break rereading the books, took quizzes online(got frusterated that on half the quizzes the answers they had were wrong). Bottom line,I studied. If I was gonna do it,I was gonna win.

Christy had said to some friends that she didn't really know much so I was not as worried as I could have been, and had I known, would have been.

I was totally nervous, which I know seems silly, but I was. Couldn't sit still, stomach in knots, shaky hands, sweaty palms.

Needless to stay, Christy studied, and for a bit I wasn't sure I would win. She put up some major competition. We both were in it for real. She came up with answers I didn't know, thats for sure. She was ahead for a good chunk and I wasn't sure I would catch her. Even Molly, who never thought anyone could even compete with me was worried. She took all of the pictures and video for me and cheered me on. Thanks Coach! :)

Eventually, I hit the zone and took off. Here are some of the pics. Let me mention... Christy and Julie LOVE Edward!! Christy had her whole side of the table set up and decorated. She handed all of her group "Team Christy" stickers even our waiter she had on her side!:)

Julie went all out. We had a game table buzzers, a list of rules. We had 25+ questions from each book, 10 questions from each movie and a 30 question "Power Round". Serious business!!

The whole thing was so fun, I wasn't going to post about it but then I decided this blog is supposed to be like a journal and it is something I want to remember. So.. here it is...

I was going to post video of it, but it was like 8 minutes long and after it trying to upload for 5 hours I decided nevermind!

There are more pics and you can read Julie's post about it here. She has some fun pictures.


Here's my pictures of it:

Christy's side of the table and buzzer.(Her sparkly things and framed pics of "Edward" for good luck.

Christy's life size Edward cutout complete with his Team Christy shirt! :)

Overall, I think we decided that Christy and I should team up and take on another team. It was a super fun night. I am glad I did it even though I was nerve wracked. Christy made it so fun to do and Julie put so much work into it. Thanks Ladies!

And I know I have just comfirmed for many who wondered if I was nuts,that I am, but thats OK. Its not like its a surprise right! :) My husband thinks it too, but he still loves he and that is what matters. :) I will put on the bottom of the main blog Lyle's theme song for all things Twilight.

Sounds like a ton of fun. I'm not a huge fan but Jaime teases me about it all the time, so I was going to get an Edward shirt and wear it Friday when he came home. Unfortunately they didn't have one close to my size! It would have been hilarious! Oh-well... :-)
