Countdown to New Moon - Jacob

I can't believe it is finally here. I mean - This Week. 4 Days. Holy Crap. Where did the time go???


- to celebrate - I've collected a few quotes for each of the major characters from this book (major characters in my opinion). Since I'm doing it through book quotes - I won't have too much to say about many of the Cullens - b/c let's be honest here - they don't have a major part in this book.



Jacob



(why I am an 'Almost Team Jacob' in this book)


He brings Bella back. Who knows where she would have been without Jake. As much as I want to hate him, I can't.



Why I respect Jacob:



He makes Bella laugh again.


"I'd forgotten how much I liked Jacob Black." ~Bella (me too Bella... me too)

"I was enjoying myself - how strange." ~Bella

"I was laughing, actually laughing, and there wasn't even anyone watching. I felt so weightless that I laughed again, just to make the feeling last longer." ~Bella



Bella can be carefree and young with him.



"Here's to responsibility... twice a week." ~Jacob


He gave her someone to protect, someone to fight for even when all else was lost.


"More than anything, I wanted to be fierce and deadly, someone no one would dare mess with. Someone who would scare Sam Uley silly. I wanted to be a vampire." ~Bella thinking Sam had sucked Jacob into his cult


Why do you love Jacob?



Tomorrow: Carlisle and Charlie

Okay, I can see being Team Jacob if only for this book. Because remember:
Dear Jacob.
I win.
Sincerely,
Edward.

But seriously, there is a reason that I love Jacob…are you ready…cause he is such a smart ass. Yep, who would have thought that I would like someone cause they were a smart ass. Just kidding.

I swear, they’re like hall monitors gone bad. (talking about the LaPush gang)
I would have figured you for a trail kind of girl. (looking for the meadow)
Bears don’t want to eat people. We don’t taste that good. Of course, you might be an exception. I bet you’d taste good.
So are you going to be my Valentine? Since you didn’t get me a fifty-cent box of candy, it’s the least you can do.
Well, I’m so sorry that I can’t be the right kind of monster for you,
Who’s afraid of the big, bad wolf?
Bye, Bella. I really hope you don’t die
Yeah, I’ll always be your friend. No matter what you love
So what are we doing tomorrow? Hiking or the ER?”

I know there are more, but these are great. I wish I could just say all the things I feel. You know, in most places I do.

OMG - I LOVE "What are we doing tomorrow? Hiking or the ER?" I totes forgot about that!!! Yeah everyday humor is something sorely lacking on the Team Edward side!!

Yes as much as I didn't like Jacob in this book I'm sure because you see him in person you just have to like him, he's just too cute especially without a shirt! Well wanted to get caught up on comments. Talk with you later. Love you Mom.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some are broken, some are whole, some have weird names, and all are different colors.... but they all learn to live in the same box.
