What Do YOU Want To See?

I want to be a crowd-pleaser(and it seems like I haven't been doing the worst job of it), but I need some things to post. I'd love it if you tell me what you want to see and what you liked in the comments. Please help me entertain you!

Thank You!!!

I just wanted to take the time to thank the flood of readers that have been checking out my blog and Synfan and I's Twilight blog. We appreciate it immensely and are still quite in shock. There are currently 143 votes on the Twilight Character poll. 143!!!!
So, thanks again to all of you. Keep commenting!

12 Things To Consider When Making New Moon

This is Katie's list of things to consider when making New Moon(she wasn't exactly satisfied by Twilight) I can't say I agree on all of them, but I'm completely SOLD on 5,9,and 11:
1. NO FLASHBACKS! Trust that the audience is smart enough to use their imagination....hellooooooo...

we all read the book.
2. Let the actors act. Don't try to make them act according to how the book described. For example, Edward all the sudden becomes really angry after almost having sex with bella. Cue natural acting, not a forced frown. And it might be just me, but allow robert pattinson to use his real accent.
3. Soundtrack and Score needs some adjusting. More moody, guitar driven stuff (robert pattinson singing) and less songs that sound like Evanescence. it is old. let's make it more classic instead of topical. In addition, this is not an episode of the original 90210. Please, no more screaching electric guitar solos in the background to signify the drama.
4. More Jasper
5. Naked Edward
6. Hire a new Jacob OR at least tell him to simmer on the whitening strips. (thanks, mom)
7. Naked Edward
8. Deviation from the book is ok to make it less cheesy.
9. Naked Edward
10. Make it more fun
11. Naked Edward
12. Work on the twinkling Edward. He still needs to be tough. You are, however, allowed to make him naked while he twinkles.

The end.

Thanks to Katie!

Random

Ok, I feel like posting about random things at the moment because it's been a good day.

Francois has taken a little "break". Haha, I know you are all thinking-"she killed him!"-but, as much I wish I had, I didn't. Regardless, I won't be seeing him until next Monday, which just made my day.

So, what are everyone's Thanksgiving plans? I'm going to spend a relaxing 5 days at the beach(no, i won't be swimming-but there is a hot tub) with a turkey and way too much food. I'm not looking forward to the 5 pounds I'm likely to gain.

I am happy to report that SunnyD, after seeing Twilight, does not hate Kristen Stewart anymore(though she still doesn't think she's pretty) and thinks she did a good job. Really, the trailers didn't do her justice.

And finally, today, I got someone who agrees with me that Kristen Stewart is perfect to play Bella-you have no idea how rare it is to find someone agrees with me about that.

I'm planning on going to see Twilight at least one more time, hopefully this week. The trouble is finding someone in my family to go with me. Still working on convincing my aunt to read the books.

I am going to attempt to crochet for the first time since I was like, 8, this week. Wish me luck!

I absolutely love this little cape this person on Etsy made:

Anyone watch the AMA's? To tell the truth, I recorded and fast forward through several hours to only watch The Fray and Coldplay's performances(which were both amazing, by the way)

For those of you who haven't heard The Fray's new single,"You Found Me", you absolutely must. Here's the link:

There's one more thing I'd like to discuss before I say adios. Does anyone else have the issue with people disagreeing with you for the fun of it? See, it seems like it's happening more and more lately that people are telling me the exact thing I don't want to hear, just to see my reaction. Think it's funny, do you? Well, it's not. Ugh. I know, my reactions are absolutely amazing and you wish you could react as well as I do, but seriously people(and you should know who you are) stop!

Well, i think that's it. I'll try to post some time this week. Happy Thanksgiving!!

The Greatness That Is Kristen

Honestly, I was shocked enough at how many comments I got on my Austin Drage posts, but you guys literally made my jaw drop when I saw that I had a whopping 50 comments on my Is Kristen Stewart Pretty? post. Wow! I really didn't think that many people read it. Of course, some of the comments are just me and Synfan talking, but 18 of them were from different people. Glad to know the majority of you agreed with me. It's successfully made me win the competition between SunnyD and I(though she's still so stubborn she won't admit it)

Regarding this comments:

I challenge all of you people to look up Kristen Stewart on google images and look at all of her TERRIBLE pictures!!

Alanna picked one picture that Kristen looks halfway decent in, and it's one of the only pics of her that looks even slightly passable.

She is SO SO SO wrong for Bella, the role of Bella deserves a better actress than Kristen freaking Stewart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, that was SunnyD. She's a little messed up in the head and has some EXTREME hate for Kristen Stewart, which I completely don't understand. I mean, I could understand if she didn't think she was pretty, but she really hates the girl. Freak, much? Just kidding, SunnyD, you know I love you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to whoever wrote this:

SunnyD and anyone who think's she isn't pretty... are clearly repressed homosexuals.

I threw that in her face like a pie and enjoyed it.

About SunnyD's comment about her bad pictures: Most of the bad ones are from a few years ago. I've posted some awesome pics of her above!
Enjoy!
And to all you Kristen lovers, like me, you rock! To the "other people", you'll come around.

Hot Guy Of The Week: Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Synfan and I have been obsessed with the star of The Tudors, Jonathan Rhys Meyers(aka Henry the Eighth)
Gorgeous.

Hot Guy Of The Day

Ok, since I'm obviously not very good at keeping up with posting a hottie everyday, I'm going to change it to Hot Guy of The Week, to make it easier. Please bear with me.

Hot Guy Of The Day: Cam Gigandet

You know how I love my Twilight boys.
Hope you love these Cam pics as much as I do! (love his tattoos, too)

What a hottie. Must they make him wear a ponytail for the movie? Grr.


P.S. And let's all thank him for not wearing his shirt!

Finally, A Regular Post

This is my first non-"Hot Guy Of The Day" post in a while, so enjoy it.

So while I think of something interesting to say, you can watch this hilarious skit from SNL with "The Dancers"(you'll get it) here.

In case you were wondering why I haven't been posting that much lately, it's because now that I have my ipod touch, I rarely use my computer anymore. But...my ipod, for some reason, won't let me type a post. It'll let me write the title, but no post. Which sucks, by the way. But I will try as hard as I can to actually turn on my computer and keep you guys updated on my super exciting(not!)life.

Only 5 more days until Twilight! Who's not excited? I probably won't be able to see it until days after it comes out because of how fast tickets are going. Ugh. Then I'll go all emo, you'll never see me again, and I'll grow old in the corner of Emo Mart.

I am sad to announce that Synfan has deleted her blog :( R.I.P. Synystergatesisbeast.blogspot.com
One question, Syn: WHY?! (lol, it's only funny if you've seen the blog)

I know The Dusty Tomatoes and I are being total slackers when it comes to posting Grin and Bear It, but I promise(not really) that I will try to edit all of our crap and post it.

So, Christmas is coming up fast(their already playing Xmas music on the radio!) and if you're looking for cheap gift ideas, you've come to the right place. Throughtout the season, I'll be posting cheap ideas for presents. For today, I'm recommending going to Borders. They have these little boxes with all kinds of things inside them. For example, the therapist in a box, a mini Zen rock garden in a box, Hilary Clinton in a box, George Bush in a box, A Golden Snitch in a box(might have to get that for myself), and plenty of other things. They're cute little gifts and most of them cost, at the most, $10.

Here's an interview with the adorable boys of Twilight. Thank you to Kellan Lutz for agreeing with me that Rob is perfect for the role of Edward!



And also, some beautiful pics of the Twilight Cast:

Thanks to Roberpattinson.org, one of my favorite websites(duh!)

Enjoy!

Hot Guy Of Yesterday: James Marsden

Sorry I didn't post my hot guy yesterday-I got home late and was exhausted.
Today's hot guy is James Marsden-aka Corny Collins from Hairspray.
Enjoy!(why do i always say that? Guess it's my schtick-lol, Dani and Red'll get it)

Hot Guy Of The Day: Jake Gyllenhaal

Gotta love this dude. What a cutie!

Sorry the pics wouldn't work-blogger's being retarded

Hot Guy Of The Day: Jeff Buckley

Wish Jeff Buckley hadn't drowned. His music is incredible and he definitely had one of the most beautiful voices in the history of the world. Listen to "Hallelujah" or "Lover You Should've Come Over" if you don't believe me.

Hot Guys of The Day: Sean Faris

I know I've been slacking on my "Hot Guy of The Day"s, so I'm going to officially start posting one everyday NOW.
Today's is Sean Faris. Enjoy.

I'm Alive!

Sorry it's taken SO long to put up another post. I couldn't get on the computer for a week and I just got my new ipod touch on Saturday and I haven't turned on my computer since. I'm absolutely addicted. It's hard to type on, though, so I finally turned on my computer to post.
I went shopping with friends on my day off today. So many Twilight things at Borders. It was fun. I got a Cheesecake Fantasy ice cream cone at Coldstone Creamery(delicious!) and I saw some adorable winter coats at Old Navy(if you need a nice winter coat, go there-so cute)
I saw a fabulous James Dean Calender at Borders. Can you believe Synfan AND Sarah both think he's unattractive? Sarah actually said, "Ew". I was like, WTF?! He's gorgeous.
There was also a really funny calender with pics of hot, shirtless guys with chiseled bodies that had funny things written underneath. For instance:
"Guys are like paintings: you don't want an ugly one hanging around"
and
"Guys are like bad haircuts: We've all had some ugly ones"

Not too much has been happening since I last posted. But here's the update:

What I'm reading: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban(for like, the third time-never gets old)

What I'm Listening To: RPattz's new songs from the Twilight soundtrack(wish i could get just his songs and not the whole album), "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga, and "Mutha'uckas" by Flight Of The Conchords

What I'm Watching: I've fallen in love with Old Greg, this hilarious, demented, twisited thing from a British show called The Might Boosh. You must check out Old Greg!

My Obsessions: My Ipod!!! Old Greg, Tap Tap Revenge(awesome free App from itunes for iphone and ipod touch), and Cubes Lite(another free App)

I think that's it.
Sorry about the long absesnse!
