R.I.P. Michael

I found this video while listening to some of Michael Jackson's songs. My kids and I listen to his music almost everyday. I was saddened at the news of his death. This may be inappropriate, but it combines two of my favorite things: Michael Jackson music and Robert Pattinson. Rest in peace Michael. We have always and will always love you.

Small details

One of the only problems that I have had with watching Twilight, is that the producers missed little details that could have been easy to copy to stay true to the book, like Edward's black leather sofa. That should have been easy. The above picture is of Bella's birthday cake from the New Moon trailer. It's totally gorgeous and over the top. It would be just like Alice to go that big, but in the book the birthday party scene is described like this:

Alice, I assumed, had covered every flat surface with pink candles and dozens of crystal bowls filled with hundreds of roses. There was a table with a white cloth draped over it next to Edward's grand piano, holding a pink birthday cake, more roses, a stack of glass plates, and a small pile of silver-wrapped presents. (excerpt taken from New Moon page 25)

With something written in such minute detail why is it so hard to replicate? Why this bothers me I don't know. The books are so precious to me and I want the movies to be true to them. If they will skip over something so small, what big things will they change?

For more information about the cake, check out this article from Twilight Parents Examiner. The cake designer is Thomas Haas.

I have included in this post some pictures of Twilight inspired cakes. Some have tags on them, but most I don't know where they came from. I totally want a Twilight Birthday party!

My New Moon Song pick

Haunted by Kelly Clarkson

Louder, louder, the voices in my head
Whispers taunting, all the things you said
Faster the days go by and I'm still
Stuck in this moment of wanting you here
Time in the blink of an eye
You held my hand, you held me tight
Now you're gone and I'm still crying
Shocked, broken, I'm dying inside

Where are you?
I need you
Don't leave me here on my own
Speak to me, be near me
I can't survive unless I know you're with me

Shadows linger only to my eye
I see you, I feel you, don't leave my side
It's not fair, just when I found my world
They took you, they broke you, they tore out your heart
I miss you, you hurt me, you left with a smile
Mistaken, your sadness was hiding inside
Now all that's left are the pieces to find
The mystery you kept, the soul behind a guise

Where are you?
I need you
Don't leave me here on my own
Speak to me, be near me
I can't survive unless I know you're with me

Why did you go?
All these questions run through my mind
I wish I couldn't feel at all
Let me be numb, I'm starting to fall

Where are you?
I need you
Don't leave me here on my own
Speak to me, be near me
I can't survive unless I know you're with me
(Where are you?)Where are you?
I need you
Don't leave me here on my own
Where are you?(I can't survive unless I know you're with me)
You were smiling
You were smiling
You were smiling

RZ taste in women

My husband of 13 years has an ex-girlfriend with who he was quite serious. Being the super nosy girl that I am I found her on Facebook and friend requested her. I know, bad girl, BAD GIRL!! Now this girlfriend called RZ's family to ask what I wanted. (She is obsessed with my hubby.) It sent shock waves through the family. They wondered what I wanted. She was worried that I wanted to kick her ass. Seriously?! I am 5"0 and hate confrontation. Not to mention she lives on the other side of the world. I was just curious. Ok, nosy. Come to find out we share the same birthday. Does that say anything about my husband's taste in women?September 23 is always on the cusp of Virgo/Libra and I have read that people on the cusp have personality traits from both signs. I think he must be drawn to that. Mind you, it was not my personality that he was first drawn to. I don't know about her.
Anyways, to bring this back to my fave subject. Another ex-girlfriend contacted my husband. They got to chatting and she was able to steer the conversation to Twilight. I love this!!! They haven't spoken in at least 15 years and this is what she chose to talk about. Every Twilight diehard has this ability. She mentioned that the above girlfriend is also addicted. That's what he gets for talking to his exes, more Twilight. At least I know I would have something to talk to them about.

Rob in handcuffs. Kristen in leather.

Maybe I have a dirty mind today. I don't know about me somedays. My Edward and Bella are off on their separate ways filming other movies. Kristen is filming The Runaways, which I am sorry to say I will probably wait until it comes out on DVD. Rob is in N.Y. filming Remember Me, which I will go see in the theatre because he is so HAWT!!! I can't wait until they meet up again to start filming Eclipse. More juicy pictures to get me my fix!!!

Hump Day

I love Barbies. I always have and always will. When I had my daughter I was thrilled because we could play Barbies together. I have discovered that is impossible to do because she doesn't play right. My brothers and I used to create these Barbie houses that took up the entire living room. They included the Tupperware swimming pool, the cardboard box garage for the cars, and the big G.I. Joes. It also included a lot of Barbie sex acts.( My brothers were dirty little jerks.)

As a mature adult,I can admit that as soon as I get these super cool Edward and Bella Barbie dolls I am so going to make them have sex, Breaking Dawn fan fiction style.

I am also going to go salvage my Barbie Ferrari and polish it up. My Bella will love that.

New Moon book cover

New book cover for New Moon. Will be released in September. I swear Jacob (Taylor) is HOT, HOT, HOT!! Oh, I feel very dirty right now. He is seriously jailbait!!

12 Step program for Twilight Addicts

Raelynn at Twilight Mania graciously allowed me to repost this article on my page. I found it funny and very applicable to my life.

The following 12 step program may contain spoilers. If you have not read all four books, read at your own risk!

Step 1. Step away from the Twilight books! This includes hard and paperback books, computer downloads, I pods, audio books, ETC.

Step 2. Hide all of your acquired memorabilia, such as clothes, knickknacks, screensavers, ETC.

Step 3. Take a shower, clean your house (no, really clean it), and if you have a significant other, children, pets etc., please locate them and let them know you are trying to get back into the world of the living, and you are on a program to help you.

Step 4. Do not name any children or pets Edward, Bella, Renesmee, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Carlisle, Esme, etc. (You get my drift).

Step 5. Do not travel to Washington, Italy, Dartmouth College, or anywhere else that might be referenced in the book.

Step 6. Most people will never own any of the cars in this series (except maybe the Volvo), so be happy with the minivan, it’s not that bad!

Step 7. Do not purchase a fur coat and run through the woods looking for Jacob or his pack.

Step 8. Clothes are really not meant to be worn one time only. A normal person does not have as many as Alice unless being a Twilaholic is not their only problem, so don’t try to live up to Alice’s expectations.

Step 9. You cannot “Dazzle” people to get your way. Do not try this, it will be very embarrassing. Live with it, we’re only human, Edward is not.

Step 10. Do not hang out in meadows, parks, at the mall, or Indian Reservations hoping that someone will “IMPRINT” on you. Bad plan.

Step 11. Remember that you actually have to eat more than every week or so (and this doesn’t mean that you should become a hunter in the Cullen sense, you might get hurt). You also have to sleep. No human is that drop dead gorgeous all the time, (remember you are a human and Edward is not) and dark circles under your eyes really suck.

Step 12. Okay, we all know none of this actually sank in the first time. Now you must go back to Step 1 and try again. Remember to keep saying, “I am a human and I’m in the world of the living!”

by Renee Siler Sept. 2008

This weekend we had a no Rob, no Twilight Father's Day. I made a pact with myself to try not to mention it to my husband. His eyes were getting sore from all the rolling they have been doing. It was a close thing on Saturday, with it being Edward's birthday and all. I actually did mention it to RZ. I never said I was successful at keeping my mouth shut. I did think of Edward on Father's Day though. He is a father. I was able to not mention it.

It is a hard thing for me not to include Twilight in every aspect of my life. I am kind of going through a bit of a depression at not having new Twilight material to consume. Even PAB, my 4 year old has the movie memorized. I love it when she quotes it. I have bought 4 magazines full of crap about Rob and Kristen's love for each other. I hate those rags.

I am waiting for The Sexy Stars of Twilight magazine to come out on Saturday.

I have snuck into a movie I did not pay to see to see the New Moon trailer. I am obsessed and dying for small hit of new Twilight material.

I am never going to make it to August when I can get news from the Eclipse set and I am sure I will not make it to November 20th, at least not with my sanity intact.

Respect Rob Campaign

Letmesign.com has started a campaign to respect Robert Pattinson. I wholeheartedly support this campaign and hope you will too. All too often celebrities are given none of the same courtesies that we ourselves expect. Can you imagine some crazy guy coming up to you while you are walking to work and flinging his arms around you and telling you he loves you! Yuck!! I abide by the 3 foot personal space rule, especially with people that I don't know. To follow this rule you must imagine a 3 foot box around that person and stay the f##k out of their box.
I think it is a shame that Rob and many other celebrities have to hire extra security just to go to work. Check out Letmesign.com and have some respect if you meet a celebrity. They are people too.
