    Twilight Fans: Don't Read This
    hey ppl-

    Edward Cullen reminds me of an undead ken doll.

    And this, is my way of admitting that I watched Twilight.

    One day, while sitting with some friends, I discovered one of them had seen the movie. I was curious, just what was the appeal? I saw nothing appealing within a mile of that movie. And we got to talking, and we decided, with some alcohol for the drinkers in the room, and some snacks for all, it might be worth a looksie just so we knew, ya know? I felt like I couldn't truely put down something before I had seen it.

    So having seen it, I have some things to say.

    I would prefer, that if the vampires MUST sparkle, and I get the impression from most of the girls in this country that they must, that they sparkle properly. A little glitter body lotion is not impressive enough. I want light rays bouncing off the WALLS, folks. "This is why we don't show ourselves in the light," Why? Because someone might think you grabbed your girlfriends bodywash by mistake? Oh no, what WOULD you say?

    Secondly, if you did need to say something to cover up one of your many painfully obvious odd behaviors, I would prefer that you have LEARNED something in your hundred and some odd years on this Earth. You've been a vampire for a long time now Edward, why is the best lie you can come up with after stopping a moving vehical with one hand from acrossed the parking lot "I was right next to you." When clearly, you weren't. And "It was an adrenaline rush, google it." Shameless advertising plug AND a lie a 5 year old could see through in one sentence... fail Edward, fail.

    Another thing I'd like to mention, why is it that after all these years it is still acceptable to date a girl who is in highschool. I mean I do realize that he is already breaking the moral code here, but now he's breaking the law. Well, technically I guess he isn't, because sex would be too dangerous, as in HE MIGHT EAT HER.

    Which brings me to my next complaint. If someone told me "I like to watch you sleep" I would be tempted to run away. If someone told me "I am having a hard time resisting myself" I would be poised and ready to go. If someone took me to their house and their sister said "Here comes the human!" I would run away at least for the evening. If someone told me they might "lose control" and SUCK OUT ALL MY BLOOD, I would run and never look back. HE IS GOING TO KILL YOU, I don't care how sexy this man is, he is dead and he want to eat you. Think about it.

    Also, why must we have werewolves AND vampires? Was one crazy species not enough? And with ALL the options vampires leave you plot wise, why do you fail so epically to have a plot at all? Girl moves, girl falls in love with hott sexy man, man turns out to be vampire, she doesn't care. Beautiful work guys.

    And why is it that she is not capable of living without him after only a few days? When he says she should move so her life doesn't end as dinner, she goes into a mad rambling fit of "No, no no no" and wraps it up with a nice big "Don't ever say something like that again!" Classic. I am all for true love, I believe in love, but that's a bit far.

    And for my final complaint, because my longest livejournal entry in a year is now about a movie craze that I do not understand nor support....

    The vampires have reflections. REFLECTIONS.

    Ok, I'm wrapping up the rant here before I get carried away. No offense to anyone out there who loves Twilight, everyone has their thing, I've been obsessed with many movies and people in the past... I just had to get that out of my system. I am glad I watched it though, now I know.

    well, bye for now-:-D

    hey ppl-

    Yesterday my boss said, quite loudly. "I am a sandwich" for no particular reason.

    Today a crazy man stopped me on the street, when I turned to look at him he said "Oh, that's a girl..." and proceeded to stare at me until I walked away.

    Spent the evening watching some Lord of the Rings with Hilary and Kristin, twas quite nice.

    well, bye for now-:-D

    hey ppl-

    I'm not big on asking for presents at Christmas time, I'm always the "whatever you want to do" kind of person, but I thought this idea was cute and I would love to be able to grant someones wish myself, so here it goes.

    STEP ONE

    - Make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered... whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV"). The important thing is to make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

    - If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) can get in touch with you. Your home address is not required!

    - Make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ so that the holiday joy will spread.

    STEP TWO

    - Surf around your friends list (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now, here's the important part...

    - If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes one person's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use - or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free - do it.

    - You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf - to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not - it's your call. There are no guarantees with this project, and no strings attached. Just... wish, and it might come true. Give and you might receive. You'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

    1. Anything green.

    2. Books. Or just tell me a book I should ready and why!

    3. Handmade anything. Jewelery, cards, notebooks with collages, painted boxes, I love that stuff.

    4. Burnt CD's, either mixed or of your favorite album you don't think I have.

    5. A 2010 calender.

    6. Colorful eyeshadows, eyeliners or mascaras.

    7. Stickers. I love stickers!

    8. Your friendship on Daily Booth. Because most of the people on my livejournal friends list I never see in real life, and DB is my new obsession. It'd be fun to 'see' all you guys everyday.

    9. Some sort of photo project. Be it a photo treasure hunt, a pen pal style photo exchange of something fun and different, a goal or dare, whatever it is you can think of.

    10. My only big wish, included simply because I'm being honest, is a home studio. Or something to get me closer to having one.

    well, bye for now-:-D

    hey ppl-

    The rain has returned. Snow may be a possibility, and I can now walk around my yurt without a hoodie and two quilts wrapped around me. Oh, the joy.

    I have decided it is my goal to make a home studio. I may be able to pull this off, if of course, I can find the money. Much cheaper than I had imagined, with a little DIY work.

    No work today, photos to edit, concerts to see.

    well, bye for now-:-D

    hey ppl-

    Things learned at my photoshoot today, round two:
    I do not like to smile in photos. I especially do not like to smile when told to do so repeatedly.
    I prefer the photographer give some direction. I do not prefer the photographer control my every move down to the eyes then tell me to hold an extremely awkward position for a million years.
    I do like pretty photos.
    My hand movements are very "glamour" and "high fashion".

    Went fairly well, just long and tedious posing, but great end results. Guy was nice. Location was warm, which I was very grateful for lol

    well, bye for now-:-D
