Why do you like Twilight? I think that Edward is extremely attractive, and the story line is really good, too. It's like everything you would want in a relationship in a book and movie, and I just became addicted.
What is the craziest thing you have done as a Twilight fan? Last year I spent $50 to get tickets for the 9:00 pm showing of "New Moon" at Nordstrom's, a few hours before everyone else got to see it.
Who is your favorite character? I like Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Emmett (Kellan Lutz).

What is the craziest thing you have done as a Twilight fan? I drove by myself from Nor Cal down to hang out at the Valencia movie set of "Twilight" with the actors. I found out about it on Myspace. I didn't even tell my husband about it before I left. It was the best thing I've ever done.
