If this has been mentioned before sorry, but I was also interested in Edward revealing who slipped on their diet to cause their moves. I know Emmett had been mentioned, but did Esme ever slip or Alice, Jasper maybe?

I want to see the Cullens relationships with each other before Bella has entered the picture too. Is their relationship drastically changed when she arrives?

I was wishing that we could have the whole series in Edwards words. I think we would end up rather upset with Bella for allt he time she hurt him with her selfishness and mixed up ideas. I really had to hurt when he asked her to marry him and she thought it was a joke and when she didn't want to see the ring. Then when she did see the ring and said she would marry him, but wouldn't wear the ring. How mean can you get. She wasn't thinking about his feelings at all and I would love to know what his feelings were. Did he understand or not.

This is just my second post on the forums--I am trying to read through the threads so I don't duplicate

I just so agree with pinklady about having the whole series from Edwards perspective--but if that happens making it very hard to like Bella afterward. I can't tell you how many times I have read and listen to the books it is a bit embarrassing but I am sure you all understand on these forums. But everytime I reread I get really annoyed with bella in Eclipse. I know the things she did were unintentionally but I literally want to shake her and scream can't you see what you are doing to these guys. Poor Jacob keeps thinking there is some hope even if it is just a thread he still thinks she wants to be my friend so there is hope for more. Then poor Edward having to endure the whole Jacob/Bella relationship. My husband is so not the jealous type but if I had a guy friend who was obsessed with me the way Jacob is obsessed with Bella there is no way he would be okay with the friendship like that.

I am so interested in everything Edward is thinking and listening to around him. I want to learn more about the Cullens and their relationships. But another thing I am really curious about and this is so trivial is why Mike Newton in getting on his nerves--although I have my suspicions. I also want to know the things that Lauren is thinking about Bella and why Edward tells Bella not to go into the woods alone. Who is in the forest that is more dangerous? Jasper?

I think all other vampires, werewolves and anythin else that's dangerous. After all bella is a magnate for danger.

I think that SM will let us in on all those things that we've been wondering and posting about for months now. When I read the first chapter of MS I had to go back and re-read the first chapter to Twilight. It totally change my perspective (as a human girl) to know how Bella's blood effected him. I want to read about all those nights he lay listening to her sleep talk. I want to know all about his jealousy of Jacob. And I really want to know about is struggle to leave Bella. What did he feel while he was away? How did the news of her death effect him? Why doesn't he think he has a soul? Oh, so many many unanswered questions that we can only speculate about. Just think if we had his abilities we could just read SM thoughts, hummm....

I believe Jasper would be the biggest diet buster and the most recent busted.

I also think Edward was different after he met Bella, I remember Alice saying something like that at the end of Twilight. Something about him finally being happy and she wouldn't want to see his face for the next 100 years if anything happened to Bella.

urmylifenow had brought this up on another thread (Alice Seeing Jasper Attack Bella) and we had a little conversation about it, if you're interested:

OHHHH! That was good.....thanks missie!!! I also liked readings Steph's insight for the party....I guess I had always just thought of Rosalie's resentment to Bella, and not that Jasper would habor those feelings too....that was interesting.

Shimmerskin wrote:

Well, yeah, now that you mention it. Naturally, Jasper would resent anything that presented him with even more difficulty. He has a hard enough time staying on the wagon as it is, and along comes Bella. Think of how hard a recovering alcoholic struggles to stay sober, and then picture yourself waving an open bottle under their nose. They're NOT going to like you much, or the person who brought you home. That's probably another reason why Carlisle tells Edward he's the only one who can reach Jasper (after the attack). I always interpreted it to mean Jasper needs to feel forgiven, and Edward is the one he has trespassed against the most, more even than Bella if you think about it. But you've made me wonder if Jasper needs Edward to come hash it out with him so Edward can be forgiven, too, for having trespassed against Jasper.

Trespassed againat Jasper and perhaps the other Cullans by bringing Bella into their lives. Yes, this has made their life more difficult, even though they accept her with open arms, especially more difficut for Jasper. Perhaps Edward needed to let Jaasper know that his failling was OK and Jasper needed to do the same for Edward???

Yes, that's pretty much how I was figuring it. I think in MS we'll see a lot more of Edward's realization of what his Bella obsession is doing to his family. From Bella's POV, which is all we have so far, that surface is barely skimmed. We get just an inkling. But there has to be a lot more going on in the family dynamic than what we've glimpsed, as a result of her advent on the scene; it's really quite a major event in all their lives, and quite a major threat to their continued existence in Forks. I imagine Edward devotes a lot of his energy to worrying and guilting about that!

Good point, remember in Twilight the morning after he saved her in Port Angeles? Edward gave her a ride to school, when Bella ask where the rest of his family was he said "Hadn't you noticed? I'm breaking all the rules now." Oh I can't wait to hear about that family fight in MS.

I'm definately looking forwad to hearing about how Edward's relationship is affecting his family. It's not really something I had given much thought to until I read this forum. It is so easy to get caught up in Bella's perspective that I tend to forget about the struggles the rest of the Cullens are going through. Just like when Edward compares Bella to heroin or alcohol - the rest of his family must be feeling the same way! Even though Bella is Edward's singer, she is extemely tempting to any vampire. Just goes to show how MUCH the family loves Edward (and Bella) to go through that agony every time she is near.

To be inside of EDWARD'S mind and feel his angst...It will be a revelation..It will be a complete turn-on...

That's one of my favorite lines. In fact, it was my original signature line for the first few months after I joined TM. I finally had to let it go, though, because I became a moderator, and there's just something a little off about having to notify someone to please follow site rules, yet my siggy is taunting, "Hadn't you noticed? I'm breaking all the rules now."

I like your signature now too, it reminds me of the Bible and the end of the world.

I have no doubt that Jasper would have been mad at Edward a little too. I remember Alice being the only one in the family saying how good Bella smelled, beside Edward, so I'm sure it's hard on all of them.

This is what I think I most want to know as well. When did it go from the main point of it being conflict/struggle to being he loves her and wants to protect her. I can't wait to read this!
