Great Twilight Fics

Were you rooting for a couple that didn't exist in the Twilight series? Have no fear. Many wonderful fics have been written on every possible couple(my favorites happen to be Jacob/Edward and Leah/Jacob)
Enjoy!

The Remedy For A Bad Day

This song is just so happy. It makes you want to get up and dance. It's called "Dreamer" by Chris Brown. It's on the USA Olympic soundtrack. So far, this is my favorite of the other Olympics songs(though I haven't listened to all of them yet) and possibly my favorite Chris Brown song. He is extremely talented-great dancer, amazing voice-and only 19! Not to mention the fact that he's incredibly sexy...

My Latest Obsession




As you probably know, I have many obsessions. My latest one is...well, I don't really know what to call it. I like taking the squished marbles and putting a picture behind it. The picture is magnified then and creates a really cool effect. Making them is simple. I just cut pics from old magazines, used tacky glue(make sure it dries clear) to glue them on the back, and then let it dry. Simple. I've been making them like crazy and taping them around the edge of my computer screen. I'm going to make some to sell(including Twilight magnets) on Etsy. More info about that later. Until then, enjoy the pics of what I've made so far above! Sorry the pics are bad quality, the lighting is terrible and I can't move them, seeing as they're taped on. So, excuse the crappy photo work(I'll do better!).

The Dusty Tomatoes on FictionPress.com


Hello, everyone! As I said a few posts back, The Dusty Tomatoes(including me) are writing a play(more like a movie, actually). We're pretty proud of it so far. It's called Grin and Bear It and so far we've posted Act 1:Scene 1 & 2. We have lots more written and will post the rest as soon as we can revise it and make sure it is ready to be exposed to the world. Until then, you can read the first part here: http://www.fictionpress.com/~thedustytomatoes
If you scroll to the bottom, you'll see the link to the play. The top part is just our profile. Feel free to read it!
Feedback would be awesome. You can review the story on Fictionpress if you would like, or you can post your opinion in the comments.
Thanks!

Hello?(echo)

Just wondering, is anyone out there? I feel slightly lonely on this blog...it's like a ghost town. If you are reading this, leave a comment or something. Let me know I'm not the mayor of Snoozetown.
Any suggestions as to how this blog can be more exciting? Vote in the poll on the side. You don't have to sign in, leave a name, or anything. Just click and vote. Thanks.

Politicians-Switchfoot

This song is a lot different from Switchfoot's other songs. It's more rock than alternative this time around.
The message is good, the chorus is...invigorating?(I'm trying to use different adjectives-i say 'awesome' too much)
Anyway, even if you don't listen to anything I say, please listen to this song. You won't regret it.

Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan-Yay or Nay?



I've changed my mind several times about whether or not Kristen Stewart is right for the role of Bella Swan(main character of the Twilight series, for those who don't know). For everyone who has actually read the books(or at least the first)-what do you think of Kristen? Like I've said, I've had changing opinions, but I've settled on one verdict-she is right to play Bella. SunnyD is totally against it and persuaded me she wasn't right for the role. But after watching so many behind-the-scenes and trailers(it's an addiction!) I have decided she is Bella. Of course, I've always been a supporter of Rob playing Edward, even from the first few chapters of Twilight.
So...what do you think?

Beautiful Day


It is absolutely gorgeous in my neck of the woods right now(hence the yellow writing). I think the weather's being nice to me because I only have three more days until school starts(EEK!) The sun is shining, it's like, 80 degrees or something, and there's a nice breeze. But I thought I'd take a break for a few minutes to post my list of songs to listen to when the days are like this. My Sunny Day Playlist:
1.Beautiful Day by U2

2. I'm Your's by Jason Mraz
3.Mysterious Ways by U2

4. Say by John Mayer

5.Accidentally In Love by Counting Crows

6.Big Yellow Taxi by Counting Crows
7.She Moves In Her Own Way by The Kooks

8.Viva La Vida by Coldplay

9.Strawberry Swing by Coldplay

10.Dare You To Move by Switchfoot
11.We Are One Tonight by Switchfoot

12.New Soul by Yael Naim

13.Waiting On The World To Change by John Mayer

14.Clarity by John Mayer

15.Hear Me Now by Boyce Avenue


Embrace the nice weather if you have it!

Now I am going to go play my guitar outside.

Officially The Grosest Picture Ever To Surface


This pic is just disgusting. He has just moved up a few spaces on my list of unfortunate-looking people(note: i have not actually made that list yet, but I will)
Why on earth would you want your baby to look like him?
Click on it to see the hideousness get larger...

Things Are Better


Ok, so as you all know, I was pretty pissed about HP #6-the movie-being moved to July 2009. I'm all better now, after reading this:

As everyone undoubtedly knows, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was just moved from November to July of 2009. Not only did this anger fans and start up an immense amount of discussion, but it left a huge gap in the release schedule that was just waiting to be filled. To fill that gap, Summit Entertainment has stepped up and moved the release of Twilight from December 12th to November 21st. For those who are completely disconnected, Twilight is the big screen adaptation of the first book in Stephenie Meyer's series. It will now go up against Disney's Bolt head-to-head, since Disney moved that film to the vacant spot as well. This is definitely a knife if the back of all the Harry Potter fans. As much as I'd love to talk highly of Twilight, I just can't, especially after they ruined Comic-Con. I know that there are probably countless



REJOICE!

The Devil Wears Prada


So, I may be the last girl on earth to see it, but I finally watched The Devil Wears Prada. I read the book a little less than a year ago.
The movie was great, but of course, the book was better. But it's hard to fit all of the conflict from the book into the movie, or else it would be REALLY long.
I noticed that there were a few added things. For instance, I don't remember Emily ever being hit by a car and ending up in the hospital(but maybe she did and I just don't remember)
I highly suggest you read the book if you liked the movie. The characters are much more developed, Miranda's much more annoying(in a good way, though-if it's possible), and the conflict is better.
Really great book. Really great movie. Check out both, if you haven't already.

Greatest Prank Call Ever

This is SO HILARIOUS! Wow. I can't believe he did this to this poor guy!

Fun Stuff

I found a couple of cute, random, quirky websites. Most of these things are completely useless-in fact all of them are useless, I'm pretty sure. But they're still fun, for some strange reason.
A few of them are just pointless characters(?) that you can control with your mouse. Have fun!

My Artwork

Ok, I made a special public folder on Picasa web albums just for my art, so go check it out. Feedback would be much appreciated.
http://picasaweb.google.com/JoyfulMonkeys/MyArt

Random Stuff

Ok, so I have a lot of links I'd like to post here. If you're bored or want something to read/do, then you've come to the right place.

My best friend Nikki is a very talented writer/author. I thought I'd post the links to all of the work she's done.
Here's her website(with poems, stories, etc.):
http://shanequa.webs.com/

If you look to the left on her homepage, you'll see the links to the sites she's on(youtube, fanfiction, etc.) I highly suggest her original writing(it's my favorite)

My other best friend, SunnyD is also on fanfiction.
Here's her link:
http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1530309/

We three make up The Dusty Tomatoes. We are currently co-writing a play. I'll write a synopsis and post it later. We're waiting until we have a bit more written before we post it on the account me share on fictionpress.com. I will have the link and everything once we have something there.

Um...so I think that's it. Of course, there's Synfan's blog: http://synystergatesisbeast.blogspot.com/

I was taking pictures of some of my artwork, but my camera ran out of batteries, so I have to let it charge for a while, but once it's fully charged I'll finish the pics and hopefully have some posted by tonight.

Sneezin'-Parody of Jesse McCartney's 'Leavin'



This is SunnyD's awesome parody of the hit song,"Leavin'".
This is just great!
All credit goes to SunnyD

Sneezin’

Hey crazy boy, I’ve been blowing my nose all day

No more sneezin’ all night, no more watery eyes
Jeez, I’m blowing on that G-5, G-5

So I’ma tell you one time, that I’ve found a brand
I have to tell you that

I’m sneezin’, tissues have become my man
My nose is runnin’ faster than you can
No more sneezin’ all night, no more watery eyes
Jeez, I’m blowing on that G-5, G-5
And I’m sneezin’, tissues have become my man
So, call your mommy, and tell her I found a new brand
The one that’s so, so fly
The one that noses like
Have you sneezin’ all night like, like
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Man, she gon’ be sneezing like

Don’t stress, don’t stress, don’t stress

Don’t stress, don’t stress, don’t stress
Cause we blow and we blow and we blow
No stress, no stress, no stress

No stress, no stress, no stress
Boy, I have to tell you that

MICHAEL PHELPS: THE GREATEST OLYMPIAN OF ALL TIME


Michael Phelps has passed the world record of most medals won in a single olympics-adding an 8th gold medal to his collection.
I'm kinda sad the swimming is over now. I liked watching him. Never ceases to amaze me.
GO TEAM USA!

ROBERT PATTINSON IS MY MAN!


OMG, so, I just found out that Robert Pattinson sings and plays the guitar!!!! And he rocks! Such an amazing voice(though it doesn't sound like him) This goes to show he's more than just a pretty face. He's BEYOND INCREDIBLY talented. Beyond. Way beyond.
I've imprinted on him.

100TH POST

This is officially my 100th post(yay me). I thought this day would never come! I remember when I only had one post...then two...then three....then I don't remember anything after that.
I remember the first comment I ever got:

Aysha said...

People killin, people dyin
Children hurt and you hear them cryin
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

My first post...http://alannaisbored.blogspot.com/2008/01/whats-purpose-of-this-blog.html

Anyway, I have many people to thank for this award.
I have Synfan, who was once the only person who ever read my blog. Thank you, Synfan.
Then I want to thank Jeb, another faithful reader.
And the random anonymous people who posted comments. I love you, whoever you are.
I want to thank my parents for getting a new computer and letting me have this one...
I want to thank Blogger for making this all possible.
I want to thank my two best friends, Nikki and Dezzy(weird names, huh? just nicknames-their parents aren't mean like that) for being awesome.
Um...I also want to thank Jimmy Kimmel. He's funny and has nothing to do with this.
I also want to thank Robert Pattinson, for being SO hot.
I want to thank whoever invented the internet for being so cool.

I guess that's it! Anyway, thanks to all and sorry this was such a boring post!!

SO MAD!!!!

Ok, mad is an understatement. Furious? Livid? Livid's the word. Wanna know why?
Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince-the movie-was supposed to come out Nov. 12 this year. I've been wanting it to see it so bad(HUGE fan of HP)and it's coming out in 3-D in IMAX!!! But they released news yesterday that the date has been push to JULY 2009!!!! COULD I BE ANY MORE PISSED? THE ANSWER IS NO! NO! I COULD DEFINITELY NOT BE MORE ANGRY
Arg.
F*** who ever's decision that was!

Breaking Dawn

So, what did everyone think of Breaking Dawn? I thought it was IN-CREDIBLE! Definitely equal in awesomenss to HP # 7.
I've gotten mixed reviews, so tell me...
Did you like Breaking Dawn?

P.S. Vote in the poll to the left <--- (To the left, to the left everything you own in a box to the left)

Stumbleupon

Sorry I haven't posted in a while!
I found this great add-on for those with Mozilla Firefox. It's called Stumbleupon and it's so cool! You sign up for free and click on your interests. Then, a 'Stumble!' button appears in your toolbar. Now, whenever you're bored, you just click on 'Stumble!' and it takes you to a site it thinks you would like. Then you rate it. Thumbs up? It's put in your favorites. Thumbs down? You won't come across it again.
It's simple and very fun. I've found awesome websites I never knew exsisted.
Warning: This is very addictive, so beware.
Here's the link to get Stumbleupon if you have Mozilla:

DAVID ARCHULETA'S NEW SINGLE-CRUSH!

This song is majorly catchy. Gotta love David's amazing voice and adorkable personality!
