Sure, it isn't the zombie apocalypse, but waiting in an hours-long line for your first bite of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" can be a deadly cocktail of boredom, dehydration and anxiety. Since we don't have the eternal patience of Edward Cullen (and we're guessing you don't either), we've put together a checklist of sorts of all the items you should stow in your bag for that querulous queue:
1. First and foremost, you need to keep up your strength. Since you can't actually nosh on Bella and Edward's wedding cake, we suggest bringing the next best (sugar-packed) thing: cupcakes! Even better if they're festooned with those little "Twilight"-themed decorating pick things. Wash down your sweet treats with Bella's newest beverage of choice, blood. Or rather, strawberry soda. (Be sure to pack a Styrofoam cup and straw for authenticity.)
2. Since stuffing a cupcake and pop (yes, I call it pop, thankyouverymuch) down your gullet will take, like, five minutes, you're going to have several more hours to burn. We suggest refreshing your saga senses with a re-watch of "Eclipse" (don't forget to pack your laptop!). And seeing as Taylor Lautner has only one shirtless scene in "Breaking Dawn: Part 1," this will give you plenty of opportunity to savor his best top-doffed moments before it's too late.
3. Inclement weather, shinclement weather. Pack a "Breaking Dawn" throw (we like this one from Hot Topic) to keep you warm while you wait (because, sadly, not all of us are privy to Jacob Black's internal furnace...). And if worse comes to worse, you can always use it to snuggle up and dream about Robert Pattinson as you wait for the clock to strike midnight.
