UC and Moon's excellent adventure – Los Angeles

Dear Rob,

We feel like you need a lil’ background on us since we’ve been so intimate lately. We met in college during the fall of 2002 when we were at an off-campus program with 30 students. We were not friends. It’s a long story but basically UC was a bitch and Moon seemed like a rock star (moon note: and was a bitch too). And we forgot to introduce ourselves on the first day and so just decided it’d be easier to ignore each other all semester. Flash forward to 2004- UC has the worst job on planet earth & Moon is bored at home. We talk online, a lot.. and our friendship begins. We see each other for a day and 1/2 in 2008, so our visit together for five days a few weeks back was a big deal- our first extended time together in 6 and 1/2 years and our first time as friends! We were super excited to see each other, to say the least!

There’s so much to recap- we did so much! We ate so much food- we drank a lot of champagne! We watched a lot of Twilight and stayed up late every night writing kickin’ blog posts! We can’t possible tell you all we did (but come over tonight and we promise we’ll try…) So, we thought we’d recap our trip for you and the LTR girls in little snippets!

Hugs & LA-love,
UnintendedChoice & theMoonisDown

Our breakdown of this momentous trip…

Friday–

• Moon live Tweets picking up UC and Hubs at the airport. Sample “Driving like edward in la. being as safe as possible while planning slumber party with ashley in head“

• then we zoom over to the Hot Topic DVD release party to meet up with our BFF, Ashley Greene. Live Tweet: “we are at the gates of hell! twihards screaming and tv cameras filming. no ash sighting” Instead we are tres embarrassed by the other fans who showed up… see this video:

Where in the World is the Edward Action Figure – Cha Cha Edition

Say underpants!

Dear Mini Edward-

If you are anything like me you know the location of every photobooth in the greater Los Angeles area… and so of course showing up to a friend’s birthday party packing an Edward Cullen action figure in your bag wouldn’t be weird at all… especially if the sole reason for going (well besides to celebrate the friend and all) was because you knew you would be able to take pictures in the booth with your friend a fellow Rob fan, His One and Only (who asked did you bring HIM? in hushed tones), and mini E! Nope, not weird at all!

I knew you’d understand!

Where in the world is the Edward Action Figure? The Gates of Hell

Dear Ashley-

It was little Edwards dream to meet you, besides being a HUGE fan he knew how much UC and I loved you. I mean we’re going to be BFF’s after all. So when the news came down the wire that you were going to be at Hollywood and Highland’s Hot Topic he knew he had to be there to see you. I busted her arse to get to Hot Topic to secure tickets then drove like Edward down to LAX to pick up UC and back up to Hollywood again all the while dreaming of the perfect slumber party she would someday host after you all met and knew you must be BFF’s for life.

Needless to say it was absolute pandemonium with hundreds upon hundreds of fans (and friends and boyfriends and husbands who got dragged along) lined up for just a chance to see you.

Entering “the gates of hell” as Rob would say… screaming tweens and angels of death greet us as we settle in for the wait

At first Edward was a bit scared to come out and play cause it was so crazy…

turns out he was a HUGE hit… with girls wanting to take pictures with him and asking where to get their own mini Edward. Seriously girls? Who doesn’t know that?

Then being the good bloggers that we are we decided to update the followers on Twitter as to what was going on. Mini Edward being the crafty guy he is decided to get in on the action by live tweeting some of the news and professing his undying love to all the insane LTR gals and twitter followers who endured the 2 hr wait with us (regardless of time zone)… and a special thanks and ‘hitch of the leg’ to JBell our personal savior and direct feed to all things TWI while driving all over LA and standing in line trying not to get eaten by rabid fans and general Hollywood dbags. You will get your reward in heaven and “fake prize” TBD.

with hundreds of screaming (yes SCREAMING, read: ANNOYING) fans clambering to see you the tv crews were swirling like vultures with their cameras waiting to catch the perfect twihard freak out and rip off her “Edward is Mine, back off Biotch!” tshirt at the mere site of a cardboard cut out. We saw Access Hollywood, E! news, Reelz Channel, the Local Fox affilate and MTV. Loving Larry Carrol like we do Edward decided to show himself  for the MTV cameras and as luck would have it…

Moon happens to get into the shot featured on MTV.com!

And then FINALLY!! You show up and I have to hold on tight to little Edward because it started getting crazy. Pushing, shoving, screaming, demons being exercised from the bodies of 14yrs olds… you know just your average Twilight event

Finally after we’re peeled off of the floor and our hearts resuscitated by electric shock we run to get in line to meet you because Little Edward simply can’t pass by this opportunity… as we wait in line we meet other twi-fans to pass the time while we  inch closer and closer to meeting you. AND THEN… the clouds (tutu’s, bat wings, twilight body glitter) part and Edward sees you!

All that craziness and screaming and lines and it was worth it. Little Edward, I and UC up close and personal with Ashley Greene at the Hollywood and Highland DVD release party and we couldn’t have been more psyched to meet our new BFF. PSSSTTT check out her earrings!

It was nearing 2AM and we simply had to get out of Hollywood but not without getting a picture with our newest BFF fellow M.A.C., Hello Kitty and Twilight Fan (Amazing Race contestant) Kynt whom we met while waiting in line. Check out Kynt’s awesome sites.

Ashley we heart you and Edward’s life is now (almost) complete!

Kisses, hugs and rainbows,
Themoonisdown

Where in the world is the Edward Action Figure – Chi-town

Dear Edward

Sometimes I have to travel for work and while it’s fun seeing a new city it can be tiring and boring without someone to see it with, but since you’ve come into my life it’s been a lot more interesting to say the least… this week finds us in Chicago…

We got to Chicago O’Hair airport and it was like a scene outta Home Alone, minus the running and leaving a kid behind but ya know

We jumped in a cab and headed downtown to the hotel to get settled in

you decided to have a little fun while we waited in Chicago traffic

I wanted to see some sites so we headed to Navy Pier

Fast cars, motorcycles, boats, you name it you wanna drive it and fast

yup, we were far from home. 1,745 miles!

then we found some fun house mirrors… you looked normal. i did not!

lookin like a model next to one of those “love” art pieces

the sun was setting so we decided to hit the trails. since i’m a human it was time for me to eat

so we jumped in another cab and asked for a dinner recommendation. the cabbies must have been getting used to you and me by now, right?

So we ended up at Giordano’s which is apparently very famous… I’ll say the wait was over an hour!

Then it was time to NOM NOM NOM and seeing as you don’t actually eat real food and I’m a squosh on the lactose intolerant side I only had a little bit, but man was it tasty! So was the antipasto salad which was more down my alley.

at that point i was stuffed to overflowing and it was time to head back to the hotel and hit the hay while you watched me blog

Sears tower... economically priced clothing, not included

Everytime I go someplace new I realize I really am a west coast girl at heart and even though Chicago may not be “my kind of town” as Frank Sinatra said it was still good times!

Where to next little eddie?

Where in the world is the Edward Action Figure – Baywatch Edition

Dear Edward-

Last weekend when the Moon family came to visit LA it was awesome that you threw caution to the wind and joined us in Malibu at Paradise Cove for brunch and a day on the beach in bright sunlight. You are so cavalier in your love for me! You even braved the water though you’re only a couple inches tall and those waves got a bit unruly and almost took you out!

After Brunch it was time to hit the sand and head straight for the surf

You were a sport and laid out with me even though you can’t tan

Then it was time to build a sand castle… it was obvious you studied architecture at some point

Then for the heck of it you decided to scale the side of the castle

We were having so much fun even BrotherMoon got in on the act

After that we decided to take a romantic stroll to the pier

You found a shell and (barely) held on to it for me

and then the unthinkable happened: a HUGE (mini edward sized) wave came up right as I was taking this pic and swept you away. Thank goodness Lilcrazycow was there to save your life (and this reoccurring blog post) because we all would have mourned your loss forever

That was such an ordeal we decided to take a breather on some beach chairs

and Lilcrazycow knew this was a Kodak moment she needed to capture before it was time to leave

Before you could get back in the car I made you (and Mommoon) wash all the sand off

It was time to leave and you couldn’t decide whether to take the motorcycles…

or the porsche. You choose the Porsche. Wise decision.
