Yes, I know. Haven't posted almost a year, but that's besides the point! I have some exciting news that will make you cry (in a good way).
Boy With Books is hosting a contest to win a Fragile Eternity by Melissa Marr ARC.

This is the third installment to one of my favorite paranormal romance series, Wicked Lovely.
Like, seriously, read it. BEST. FAERIE. ROMANCE. EVER. (well, at least of the faerie books i've read...which was not many)
...HOW DOES HE LOOK?
Yes, that's right. After 2 hours of searching for a decent cardboard cutout...I'VE FINALLY FOUND ONE!! Personally, I think he's absolutely gorgeous! But what do you think? 'Cause I don't want to be walking into my room seeing something as repulsive and unnerving as that UK edition of the Edward Doll. *shivers* And a 74" cardboard cutout is not something you would typically throw out on a daily basis, so it's not like I could get rid of him anytime soon.
...and if you're thinking I'm weird right now...it just gets weirder-er.
BECAUSE...HOW DOES SHE LOOK? You won't find Edward without his Bella. I wouldn't want my Edward to think that my Bella died. He might just lure my cats using his gorgeousness and try to kill himself! *GASP* Again, personally, I think this is one of the better pictures of her...my sister made a point to saying how ugly and unfashionable her clothes are, but that's something I could live with.
SERIOUSLY PEOPLES!! I wasn't kidding when I said I was going to buy one (when do I ever joke about Twilight?) I mean, how could you resist temptation when it's THAT gorgeous?! TELL MEEEE...what you think.
...and, I'VE FINALLY SEEN THE TWILIGHT TRAILER ON T.V. TWICE!!!! my life is now complete and if I were to die today, I'd go willingly.
OMG!!! 13 MORE DAYS!!! ...'nuff said.

...I'VE DECIDED TO POST RANDOM QUOTES...or random stuff in general.
I just finished reading Tantalize by Cynthhia Leitich Smith. One of the more worst vampire books I've read, but seriously funny. In the gory, gothic type of way. There's this homeless guy named Mick (i think). He likes to carry around signs asking for stuff:
GAY REPUBLICAN
WICCAN VETERAN
NEEDS LUV & $
PRO-CHOICE AMISH
LAID-OFF TECH WORKER
NEEDS BOOZE & $
HOMELESS INDIE
PRO-LIFE VAMPIRE
NEEDS BLOOD
I guess you could figure out which sign I'd rather go by, but I'm curious to see which you would rather choose. I'm mental right now (as if you couldn't tell) and bored out of my mind (in the literal sense) so tell meeee.
Also...Tantalized has the nastiest menu (I forgot to mention that it was about a vampire-themed restaurant). I'll list a few items from it:
Blood and tongue sausages with new potatoes
Boar's head pie with boiled eggs in a graham cracker crust
Chilled baby squirrels simmered in orange brandy, bathed in honey cream sauce.
Would you believe it if I told you that the "baby squirrel" was part of the dessert menu? And when I say squirrel I mean the acorn-luvin' one. Not an ice cream sculpture remake. *shudder*
NOW FOR THE RANDOM QUOTES FROM RANDOM PEOPLE OR WORKS:
The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about. ~Oscar Wilde
I was one to the world, but my dream was to be the world to one. ~GG
All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream. ~Edgar Allen Poe
A ghost is someone who hasn't made it. ~Sylvia Browne
And there was a beautiful view, but nobody could see. 'Cause everybody on the island was saying: Look at me! Look at me! ~Laurie Anderson
Last night I dreamt that someody loved me, no hope, no harm, just another false alarm. ~The Smiths
My only regret in life is that I am not someone else. ~Woody Allen
Could you guess where I got these quotes from? Probably not, unless you read as much crap as I do.

TWILIGHT MAKE-UP!!! No, it's not a brand (yet). It's the stuff they use on set to make the "Cullens"...Cullenfied and "Bella"...Bellafied.
Edward's make-up:
SK-II Air Touch Foundation in OP-1 - $150.00 (I just watched a 9-minute youtube video about how much better this product is as compared to, letssay, OTC foundation)
M.A.C. Blot Powder/Pressed in Light - $21.00 (I hope it's water-proof)
Benefit Silky Finish Lipstick in Ms. Behavin - $18.00 (...okay, does anyone else find this funny?)
Bella's make-up:
SK-II Air Touch Foundation in OP-3 - $150.00 (Bella's ONLY 2 shades LIGHTER than EDWARD?!?!?! No ways, no ways!!)
M.A.C. Blot Powder/ Pressed in Light - $21.00
Visiora Compact Powder in PC. 103 - ? (This brand produces HD make-up for HD cameras that will transform into HD videos that will show in HD quality on the big screen. Did I mention that this was blush?)
M.A.C. Eye Shadow in Blanc Type, Flute, and Wedge - $14.50 (Wow...and to think she was going au naturale)
Smashbox Limitless Lash Mascara in Black Waterproof - $22.00 (FINALLY! A waterproof make-up for a rainy town.)
Benefit Silky Finish Lipstick in Good to Go - $18.00
...And to think that "Edward" and "Bella" were small-town people. Edward, ALONE, spent $189.00 + tax on 3 PIECES OF MAKEUP!!! With that money, I could buy 7 and 3/4 copies of Twilight (hardcover). I don't even WANT to know how much "Bella" spent.
Back to reality.
I SERIOUSLY wish the stuff they used was cheaper 'cause I SERIOUSLY want to walk around with vampire make-up. *sigh*

Super cute show! Lots of explicit scenes, but it's hilarious. The concept is nice too:
What if you learned you had already met your soul mate? When a bachelorette-party psychic reveals to Bella Bloom that she has already met the true love of her life, she goes on a quest to find this mystery man from her past. With a limited time to locate him, Bella puts her normal skepticism aside and, with the help of her friends, lists all the males she has dated, befriended or even briefly encountered in her lifetime. It’s an illuminating and sometimes humiliating search, but Bella knows it might be her only chance to find “the one.”

Holy hell! Motherfrikkin God! WTF?! This is the UK Edition of the Edward Doll. (thank the heavens it's not the Tonner Doll Co's) I'm all for an ugly screwy-Edward dolls with Donald Trump hair, but THIS?!?! To be explicitly honest, it's the most hideous, repulsive thing I've ever seen! I screamed when I scrolled down to his head. When I saw the rest of his nasty, cheesy plastic clothes I burst out laughing. Are you frikkin' kidding me?! For 9 euros (which is about $17...isn't the US currency terrible?), this...demon is totally not worth it. I didn't even realize something so hideous and repulsive could be based on a creature so heavenly and...perfect.
It's disturbing. Unnerving. Could you imagine what would happen if you woke up to THAT staring at you every frikking morning? I'd commit suicide. If looks could kill (and in the ugly, physical way) that...THING would annihilate anything within a 500-mile radius. And that's me being nice.

You can't even start to imagine how i'm feeling right now. I'm somewhere between a comatose-like state and pissing in my pants. I could be on my deathbed right now and I'd still be watching these trailers. The apocalypse could be ending the world right now and I'd still be here, in my room, watching these trailers. A black hole could be sucking the hell out of the Universe right now and, guess what? I'd still be here, watching these trailers.
It's...indescribable.
And this time, I'm not even crying. I'm just...so...speechless, it's scary.

Yes, this is beyond amazing, though predictable.
Firm to produce collectible character figures in support of feature film’s November 21, 2008 release
Hurley, NY (September 22, 2008) – Tonner Doll Company, an award-winning designer and manufacturer of high-end collectible dolls and figures, has been granted the license for character figures based on the much-anticipated movie from Summit Entertainment, TWILIGHT, which arrives in theatres nation-wide on November 21, 2008.
Sculpted in the likenesses of the film’s lead characters - Edward Cullen (as portrayed by Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swan (as portrayed by Kristen Stewart), - each fully-authorized, highly-collectible TONNER CHARACTER FIGURE™ (TCF) will give fans the opportunity to possess their very own Edward and Bella for all eternity.TWILIGHT TONNER CHARACTER FIGURES™ range from 15"-17” tall with multiple articulated joints for expressive movement and mobility.

Based on Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling book series, having sold more than 10 million copies domestically, Twilight has captured the attention of readers of all ages, via its action-packed, modern-day love story between a teenage girl and a “good” vampire, who must protect her from “bad” vampires while resisting his natural instincts.
Tonner's marketing division began to take shape with its HARRY POTTER film series and is now in full swing with the addition of TWILIGHT.Romances are abundant in both storylines and have become much more important elements to this burgeoning, sought after segment of buyers.“TWILIGHT was the perfect project to help launch us further into the teen and adult market,” Robert Tonner, CEO and head designer of the TONNER Company says.
“I am a huge fan of Stephenie Meyer’s work and I intend to read everything she writes,” Tonner explains.“She is unbelievably talented and it's an honor to be able to work on this project.”
Tonner plans to release other characters from the film in addition to Edward and Bella.“I want to make them all,” Tonner admits.“I’m having such a blast reading the books and getting to know all of the characters.I’m also reviewing movie stills, sculpting and designing.I’m completely immersed in their world,” he says.

Here I am, doing my daily Twilight-stalker stuff (minus the stalker) and I come across this German Twilight the Movie website. Okay, great. Now we get to the stalker part...
So I'm searching through the place and they have a lot of photos that weren't shown on the American site (crummy americans, always leaving us in the dark). I'm looking...i'm searching...i'm stalking...i'm being, well, me. And so THIS pic comes up:
Beautiful house isn't it? Very modern, isn't it? Look at all the windows, it sure has a lot of windows, doesn't it? Ooh, very stylish, isn't it? Aww, look at the beautiful landscape, it's beautiful, isn't it? isn't it? Isn't it? ISn't it? ISN't it? ISN'T it? ISN'T It? ISN'T IT?!?!?!? AM I SOUNDING STALKERISH YET?!?!
Well, whoop-dee-doo to you too. This is the Cullen house.
"I don't know what I had expected, but it definitely wasn't this. This house was timeless, graceful, and probably a hundred years old. It was painted a soft, faded white, three stories tall, rectangular and well proportioned. The windows and doors were either part of the original structure or a perfect restoration."
It's not that I have anything against this house, it's just that...it's not what I expected. Like, that's a modernized form of a house straight from the 50s! In actuality, I kept on thinking it'd look like a...castle-like structure, maybe because I always believed the Cullens were fit for a throne...besides, those doors? 100 years ago people were fearful of those damned bandits. Why would they have glass doors?
Beautiful house though! I'm relieved they didn't choose a nasty, decrepit mansion we see so often on the big screen.

oh...and, NEW TWILIGHT POSTER!!
I could've posted this yesterday, but it's fun keeping you in the dark!
THIS POSTER IS GORGEOUS...but then again, you could put Donald Trump as Edward and Beyonce as Bella on the poster and as long as it says Twilight, I'd still think it's beautfiul. I guess you could say I'm a devoted fan.
oh...and, BREAKING DAWN IN LEGOS!!
NO WAYS!!!

CosmoGirl had an article about The Twilight Boys (yes, it's capitalized, bolded, italicized, and underlined because it's just THAT important). The article was hilarious, or at least the begining, and then it got into some details about what they thought about the movie. That was good. I'm not so crazy about Cedric's scruffy-and-nasty look in the biggest picture (sorry, no pic posted), but the little profile picture on the side was totally adorable with his cute squinty-eyes and unruly hair. Again, that was good...gorgeousness was involved here, peoples.
And then I read the captions:
"VAMPIRE WEEKEND: The guys creep into theaters December 12."
WTF?! Seriously! You'd have to be completely ignorant, oblivious, civilization-deprived, retarded, idiotic, stupid, blockheaded, dense, doltish, dumb, thick-headed, absurd, narrow-minded, brainless, cloddish, dim-witted, dopey, dunce-like, foolish, imbecilic, imperceptive, inane, inept, insensible, irrational, lethargic, moronic, oafish, backward, benighted, primitive, unconscience, naive, absent minded, blind, mute, paralyzed, and deaf. I could even taste and smell Twilight the Movie in the atmosphere.
Otherwise...YOU'D HAVE TO BE IN A COMA TO BE THAT MISINFORMED!! and even then...*sigh*
And it's not so much that the date was wrong, it was the fact that they did. Does that even make sense?
I'm dead tired and Katie keeps on writing sexy on my facebook. I'm SO going to crucify her.

I've decided that I should go beyond amazing and way, way beyond the norm.
...and "vampire" popped into my mind. It would be the hardest costume ever considering that vampires are impossibly gorgeous and have topaz eyes. Or if I want to go with the stereotypes, I'd have to buy fangs and drape myself in velvet and crap. Either way, I'd have to, like, go on an extreme diet to get an acceptable body and stuff my bra. eww. Besides, everybody knows I try to go vamp everyday, so the question is..."what's the big deal?" that idea was and still is a hopeless cause because everybody is expecting me to go vampire.
after much thinking, i thought that I'd dress up as my idol, Raven Madison. (and if, at this point, you think i'm copying off of KLassy's ideas, i swear i'm not) Raven is goth. Really, really goth. Black-lipstick, black-eyeshadow, i'm-dating-a-vampire goth. People say I'm goth. As if. (I've been meaning to completely succumb to my gothness, but I have some crazy genes in my DNA, so better not.) Hot Topic has some seriously wicked hot corsets and beautiful skirts that I would buy on a regular day (i don't though, if you haven't noticed my crappy wardrobe). I would totally do this, if not for the fact that the only thing that would surprise people would be the fact that i'm not wearing jeans. Seriously. I must have some kind of kickass reputation for my quiet-ness and black-ness (which I don't really wear that much black). I need a new plan.
My third, and hopefully final, idea is this: A prep. How gross is that?! I'm considered a freak on a daily basis and the one day I could wear black without being ridiculed is the day I decide to go "colorful." shudder. Unfortunetly, I (thankfully) lost the ability to dress preppy 6 years ago in 3rd grade. Just to get one thing clear: I'm NOT goth, despite what everybody else says. I like black and black is a part of me. I don't intend to go boho or crap anytime soon. And so, in order to become preppy, one must dress preppy. and to dress preppy, one must go into the mind of a prepster. What the hell?! I seriously need some kind of help 'cause i can't find an acceptable pink skirt or white top. It's like, the one time i decide to dress preppy, is the day all pink things die and black things take over the world. HHHHEEELLLLPPPP MMMEEEE!!! i'm in serious trouble if I can't pull this off. Need ideas from all of my preppy friends, which is, letssee, 1, 2, 3...ALL OF THEM minus Amanda, I don't know what exactly she is.
AND...
A Halloween Un-Party at my house. It's not seriously a party, but it's not completely not a party. An Un-party. Has cake...WITH DERRANGED TWILIGHT CHARACTERS!!! something you don't want to miss. I'm unveiling my not-so-new and not improved room. It's purple and black and has Twilight. That's all that matters. You could sleep over if you want...my room definetely does have more room and by that time, I'll have my Illustrated Twilight Companion book. I'll be screeching all night. fun fun. I know, I'm completely dorkalicious. I'm deciding whether I want to trick-or-treat and get free candy or not. Probably not. I dunno.
And this concludes Mission Improbable. Give me your thoughts!
