Eclipse

I can't wait for summer!! One, because I am freezing my behind off, and two, because Eclipse will be here!!!

I had taken serious thought to maintaining a distance from all of the Eclipse stuff. Twi-purity and all with Cutie from Super Secret Twilight blog and many others out there, but I am a spoiler bunny. I can't help myself. There are 173 days to go until Eclipse comes to theatres and I am chomping at the bit for any tiny piece of information.
A giant spoiler in the form of the Eclipse script landed in my lap. Should I read it? Should I wait?
I tossed this around for about 20 seconds and devoured the script.

All I will say is this-- I love you Melissa Rosenberg!! I love you Stephenie Meyer!!! I love you Robert Pattinson!!!(thought I would just throw that out there)

People's Choice and the Eclipse fail

I was so hoping to wake up to news of an Eclipse trailer shown at last nights People's Choice Awards. Nope. Our favorite stars and New Moon did receive awards, but no trailer. I find it hard to get excited since Rob was not there.

Mr. Spade, I respectfully BEGGGGG, for some Eclipse love!!!!!



I loved this and think movie editors are way talented!!!!

Twilight Tattoos

I have posted the picture of my tattoo before, but for the sake of this article I thought I would again. I have a new fascination with tattoos. I got my first tattoo to celebrate the release of New Moon. Now that Eclipse will be here soon I am wondering if I should get another Twilight inspired tattoo. A facebook friend shared a link to Twilight Disorder and they featured this tattoo:

What does werewolf spell upside down?

Vampire!!!

My husband quickly nixed this tattoo and does not like the fact that I am posting my naked shoulder blade on the World Wide Web.

What can I say? I am a scandalous girl. Beware I may in the future post a picture of my sockless foot. I am sure that blogger will immediately reprimand me and make me have one of those "mature adult only" buttons you have to push before you can read me. *eyes rolling*

I wish there was a sarcastic font available.

Serious Fiction Addiction

Ok- so I have thought recently of jumping on the fan fiction bandwagon and writing my own story. I am a writer, not an aspiring writer. A writer. I love to write and stories fill my brain so full I often can't wrap my brain around real-life. My stack of laundry can attest to that.

I have begun writing a story, but am having a hard time bending the characters to my will. Edward and Bella are not my creations and at this time are just not cooperating. I am determined to keep writing and see if my own version of them and my story are a worthy offering to the fans out there.

In the mean time I have begun a new blog, Serious Fiction Addiction. This blog will not just be about Twilight. I am constantly on the lookout for something great to read, be it a book, magazine, fan fiction, cereal box, I need it all. My newest blog will highlight my literary choices and recommendations. I would love your recommendations and opinions as well. Come on over and check me out.

P.S.- I am not abandoning my baby here. I still have a fortunate Twilight Obsession and with less than 200 days to go before Eclipse, I am charging my batteries and getting ready for the gates of Twilight to reopen and for Rob to emerge again. Hopefully looking as delicious as always.

It will keep you Wide Awake!!

Many of you may have the same affliction as I do-- A serious addiction to Twilight Fan Fiction. It all started with Wide Awake by angstgoddess003. It is a lovely, emotion filled story that seriously needs to be edited and published. For months Angstgoddess's fans have been anxiously awaiting the epilogue of Wide Awake. It is finally here and all I can say is: WOW!!!

I highly recommend that you read this work of fiction. Just don't ask her to write a sequel.

Come join me on the dark side-- there will be cookies!!!

200th post- Can you believe it!!!

So... I have been holding off on posting for a while because this is my 200th post!!!! I wanted it to be good. Profound, even. I wanted it to be so fucking fantastic that it would be remembered.

I just have nothing. I am living in Twilight void. I started to watch the movie, but was interrupted by 3 crazy hyenas who wanted to go outside and play in the 24 inches of snow we got dumped on us. The books have been retired until at least after New Year's, but I am actually aiming for longer. I want to pick them up read them and get butterflies again. I could go see New Moon again, but RZ gives me so much hell that I need to wait a week or so. I was aiming for 10 times so I have 5 more to go.

I did come across an interesting article about Rob. You know, I can spot his name in the most obscure places. I had to laugh because who told the author about this. The girl- who should be ashamed of herself, the mom- who should slap the crap out of her daughter, The bodyguards- who really should keep their mouths shut, or Rob, himself- who should get a flu shot immediately and the go buy a taser.

A teenage Twi-hard kissed Robert Pattinson full on the lips before letting him know she had been getting over swine flu, and the actor was sure to know he was none-to-pleased about it. She apparently just happened to spot him standing on the side of the road when she jumped out of the car and threw herself at him. Pattinson might have been a little more acceptable of the kiss if the fan hadn’t said to him that her mother didn’t want her to get out and meet her idol because she was just getting over the swine flu! The revelation sent Pattinson into a bit of a tizzy! He then shoved the girl away and ran off, while yelling over his shoulder at her.

Per News.com.au:
“You have the Swine Flu?… What the hell are you doing kissing anyone?” Rob then told his bodyguards, “You guys have got to keep these crazies away from me!”

Pattinson next went to a drugstore and bought a bottle of Listerine, according to various reports. Surely the excitement of spotting Pattinson randomly on the street over whelmed her good judgment but you can’t blame him for being peeved! You have to give him credit for not smacking the girl all the way back to her mothers car!

I wish I could make one of those funny pictures, but I have zero graphic talent and to tell you the truth, I am lazy!!

Instead I will give you this:

Back off crazy fan bitches!! Keep your germs to yourself!!

Rob-If I ever see you walking on the side of the road I promise I will not kiss you. I can't guarantee that I won't molest you, but I will keep my germs to myself. Unless you beg me for them. :)

Just because I had to...

A debate with MrsMe

I saw New Moon, again, last night for the 5th time. I freaking love the crap out of that movie! It is almost impossible for me to find a part that I do not like. Sure, Alice's vision is corny and if I was the director I would have done it differently. I also would have had a different actor for the motorcycle guy. That guy is not cute and I would have liked a few tats and maybe a lip ring or two. But if you look at the movie as a whole I am truly blown away.

MrsMe, who has only seen it three times, has some issues with both movies. I highly respect her opinions because she makes points that I consider too valid to ignore. I am able to see beyond said points and not let it affect my love of both movies. I am a simple girl who loves a good romance regardless of the delivery.

I could make a list a mile long with the complaints she has with Twilight, but I will not go there. What I would like to address is the fighting scenes. The first fight, with James, looked great on the screen, but showed Edward getting a bit beat up. The fight is actually not even mentioned in Twilight. Edward mentions pulling James off of Bella and then Emmett and Jasper taking over.

In New Moon, Edward gets his ass kicked by Felix. That, too, is not mentioned in any way in the book.

MrsMe's observation was that Edward can read minds and be a fraction of a second faster in a fight due to that. She feels that he should not have gotten so hurt by Felix. Like Emmett, Felix relies on strength rather than speed. Edward is the fastest of the Cullen's and as such should have had a huge advantage over Felix. While fighting Victoria, Edward continued to engage her as she tried to fall back. In that fight his advantages were obvious. His victory was never in question.

Last night, after leaving the movies, I thought a lot about this. Maybe that is silly, but I wondered if Stephenie Meyer wanted Edward to seem unbeatable. She writes Edward in such a way that leads you to believe that he is the perfect man, strong, fast, smart, and a romantic figure. I decided to go back to my books and do a bit of research, not to prove MrsMe wrong, but to give her a good argument, which I know she appreciates. This is what I came up with;

New Moon: Chapter 18, page 397--

Edward had closed on Jasper now, and the fight was more even than either of the others. Jasper had the century of experience to guide him, and he tried to go on instict alone as much as he could, but his thoughts always gave him away a fraction of a second before he acted. Edward was slightly faster, but the moves Jasper used were unfamiliar to him. They came at each other again and again, neither one able to gain the advantage, instinctive snarls erupting constantly. It was hard to watch, but harder to look away. They moved too fast for me to really understand what they were doing. Now and then the sharp eyes of the wolves would catch my attention. I had the feeling the wolves were getting more out of this that I was-- maybe more than they should.
Eventually, Carlisle cleared his throat.
Jasper laughed and took a step back. Edward straightened up and grinned at him.
"Back to work," Jasper consented. "We'll call it a draw."

So, here is my conclusion:

Edward may be very fast and have the added advantages of telepathy, but the unfamiliarity of his opponents would make the fight more even. I do agree that he should have made a better showing with Felix, but I also think the stress of the moment would have been another disadvantage to him.

MrsMe- Do you have anything to add?

IMAX!!

I really hate Twitter. I think it is just beyond me. I am a facebook kind of girl. Simple easy, nothing that I need a manual to figure out. But... I had been on the lookout for Eclipse info and happened upon this on my Twitter thingie(board, page, updates, whatever you call it?)...



IMAX!! WooHoo! Now I can't really say that I know exactly what that means, but I know it is a big exciting thing! I know that Eclipse is going to look awesome!!! Edward in HD!! Yummo!!

I wonder if I can buy tickets now?

My son's life with a Twilight obsession!!

I have an adorable 2 year old son, Baby AD, who, I think, likes Twilight as much as I do. When I wear my t-shirts, he lovingly pats my chest and says "Edward. Bella.". He can spot pictures of Edward anywhere and he points them out excitedly like a normal 2 year old points out a balloon. He has actually sat next to me and watched the entire Twilight movie without being too annoying more than once. I am kind of afraid that I have brainwashed him.

Here is why I think this:

In a genius move that my husband is notorious for we left to go hiking in the Shenandoah National Park, as he grabbed Baby AD to put into the car I mentioned for him to put the baby's shoes on. Stopping for gas, 60 miles from home I notice my son's stocking feet. Knowing the answer before I asked it, my husband admits he forgot the shoes. Luckily a Kmart was found and shoes were purchased. These shoes:

Go Diego Go shoes.

I showed them to my sweet boy and he excitedly yelled-"EDWARD SHOES!!"

He loves his Edward shoes. I have tried to get him to call them Diego shoes to assuage the annoyance my husband feels, but AD insists that they are Edward shoes. I feel it serves RZ right for forgetting the perfectly good black and gray non-Edward shoes at home.

p.s.-Just so you know, AD can say Diego perfectly. He just really likes Edward.
