My Favorite New Moon Scene

Hi all. I'm sure I had something concrete to say... I just, you know, found this picture and all of a sudden I... really don't remember what I was going to tell you..

Funny how the brain works. Anyway, here is a nice little picture that displays the culmination of all those touch-and-go moments between Jacob and Bella. You know, all those little moments when their eyes meet or their hands touch. Little by little the two of them work up to this point, mostly because of Jacob's persistence. Bella is sort of along for the ride, as we know, humoring Jacob so as not to hurt his tender teenage feelings. She's lucky Stephenie Meyer didn't write me into New Moon because something tells me I would have been the horny Jacob groupie always popping in for a visit. I guess Bella would have just had to deal with that big ole hole in her chest all by herself. :D

Now, on a lighter note...

Sorry to be such a downer on that last post.

And so, here I present to you undeniable proof of why New Moon will be wonderful:

I mean, just look at Edward's hair! Is it natural or fair that hair like that should exist?!

Let alone that jawline. That right there is proof of Heaven. Am I wrong, Twilighters? I don't think so.

And don't get me started on his eyelashes! See how long they look, even in this picture? Imagine what they'd look like if they were looming over you, as he closed the distance between you and he with a kiss.

Think on that for a while.

About that kiss...

Okay, I've been done with the saga for a while and I mull over favorite parts in my head from time to time. Invariably, my mind wanders back to the most erotic, innocent (YES, a kiss can be both. Actually if a kiss truly is one, it'll probably also be the other), engrossing, consuming gesture of pent up sexual frustration and hope ever. And that kiss is...

...the Jacob and Bella kiss in the mountains. (author waits as the incredulous murmur dies down). That's right, scoff if you like. But to me that kiss alone blows away any other kiss in the whole saga. It's more powerful than all the best Edward and Bella kisses put together. And believe me, I'm a big fan of the Edward and Bella kisses.

The tension builds throughout Eclipse, but we readers are unwitting to the need for some release, only to become aware of it when the moment is thrust upon us. The extent to which Jacobs presence becomes undeniable to Bella both physically and on a more visceral level is palpable. I think that kiss was the defining moment for me. That one scene sealed my fervent crush for the over-grown wolf boy. I really liked him before that but became hopelessly gaga after. That's the moment that solidified Jacob Black as perfect day dream fodder.

Talk about being tested! I wish I had Bella's problems.
