TWILIGHTAHOLICS! Part 2~*~ Should've been started by Caribbeanprincess!!!!

[travelmel]

Ooh, I read this series in high school and I recently pick up some used copies of the first three and after I get done with this truly awful negotiable instruments final tomorrow (really law school?? do I need to know this stuff?? I think not), I plan on starting them. I recently listened to A Great and Terrible Beauty and I thought it was really good. I don't usually do audiobooks, but I had itunes credit and thought it would be a nice change, plus I knew if I had a hardcopy I would just sit there and read the whole thing and not study. The lady who read them was awesome!! I plan on reading the rest of the that trilogy asap as well.

I liked a Great and Terrible Beauty too but haven't read either of the sequels yet. I read the first 4 Outlander books years ago-my husband bought me The Fiery Cross when it came out and I never picked it up because I forgot so much of what was going on! After reading the Twilight series and The Host, I was inspired to try again after reading threads on Twilight Moms. I forgot how great they are! I'm finally up to The Fiery Cross. That one moves a little slowly but I've been told that the 6th book is very good and worth the wait. Diana Gabaldon is hoping to have the 7th book out by the holidays next year.

So the two of you like the Outlander and you liked Great and Terrible Beauty (did you think it was scary in parts? It gave me all over body goosebumps a few times... I thought it was very intersting... but not enough vampires.. lol)

The Outlander series sounds great... I'm daunted but I think I'll attempt it! I also loved the Clan of the Cavebear series in high school.

Travelmel,
I guess the saying is true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder because I do not see Rosalie as anything more than just plain. I have also not seen her in anything else but have see her in pics on the internet and even not in Rosaslie garb I just don't see her as even pretty. Sorry to disagree.

For the person looking for books for the kindel Have you read the Ann Rice Vampire or Witch chronicles? How about Jean Auels caveman series? I would love a Kindel it just seems so convenient.

Ang

Absolutely no apologies necessary. I was thinking about it and I think somebody said that they thought Rosalie was more 'sexy' than beautiful. I thought maybe that is sort of like a porn star vs say.... JFK Jr's wife, Caroline?

But, yes, beauty is so totally in the eye of the beholder. I'm easily pleased though. I thought she was lovely.

I wish that Rob Pattinson would share the diary entries he wrote from Edward's POV while he was preparing for the role. Just a random thought I just had. Go back to resuming your life now!

Me too! He's got an interesting take on the whole thing. I think he felt the whole story was a little twisted but it would be interesting to hear his take on that for sure!

my dh has a great sense of humor. Th at is why I fel in love with him. We were talking about Glenn Becks book "the Christmas sweater" I think it's called. Anyway it's been on the bestseller list for a long time and I thought about reading it.
I looked at my dh and said "I would love to read it, but will be sad if there aren't any vampires it in." Which he came back with "Well, you could pretend" LOL
So, we'll all just randomly slip Edward and the rest of the Cullens into our everyday life. Should make it more interesting! LOL
Shopping list-
bread, butter, human blood for Renesmee and new jeans for Rosalies butt.

My Dh teases the same way.

I can't wait to get one!!! OMG I found it!

Check out the stickers. They're great! On pg 5 they have one that says "Meanwhile, in a town named Spoons..." Ahhahahaha too funny...

Too funny! I can't afford the SF thing. Have a great time!

Rob Pattinson has a diary????? OMG are you kidding me?!!?


MS just about did me in. I don't know if I could handle his diary, although I am sure it would not be what we are expecting.


But still.

I was in a doctor's office today and saw that they had the November 14th copy of Entertainment Weekly with Rob and Kristen on the cover. So I put it in my purse. And I don't feel all that bad about it.

I told my sister and now she is calling me a criminal. I told her if being a criminal was wrong I didn't want to be right.

When I opened the magazine to a picture of Rob, my Mom said "he's too pretty to be a boy."

Did you first run screaming around the waiting room yelling, "It's Rob! It's Rob!"?

Cause that's what I would've done.

 

[Jenn1116]

Mmmmmm diary... I bet it's got Kristen scrawled in all the margins... lol

 

[Jenn1116]

Mel, If they don't come out with general or single day tix, I won't be going either, even though I live so close!! I'll spend the weekend mourning my fate

You are lucky the people at the Dr's office did not send you off to the Voluori!!! I hear Jane is pure evil to magazine thieves!!!

Goosebumps?? Uh, yeah! I would listen to it at night while trying to go to sleep and I'm telling you what, I would get freaked out. The lady who read it was just amazing. And yes, Outlander is awesome...you should give it a go. I always have to tell myself that there is no obligation to finish a book. Although I usually do anyways...like with The Historian...I got so bored, but I finished it anyways...just feels like quitting.

OMG that Cafepress stuff is great . I have to get one of the OCD ones for my car. Obsessive Cullen Disorder .. Gotta love that .

Both my DD's are so imbarrassed by my love for Edward and Twilight . But whocan blame me They started it when they told me how great the book was . Now I am reading it again ...

hottopic.com Has The Blankets For Sale Right Now!

I don't see them!

EDIT: Yup they are sold out. It's no wonder either as the Ebay hawkers know they can get $50-$100 for one online. Sometimes I hate those guys. They remind me of ticket scalpers.

They were there and gone in hours. The sad thing is, when I bought mine at the store, someone apparently sold me one of the other employee's blankets that was held in the back. Every time I see her (she works in both HT and Waldenbooks in the mall) she says, "oh, you're the one who got my blanket". Today she said she was going straight home to order one since they haven't gotten any more in...and by the time I got home (she was still working), they were sold out! I feel like a heel!

Did you first run screaming around the waiting room yelling, "It's Rob! It's Rob!"?

Cause that's what I would've done.

I wanted to yell WOOHOOO but I didn't for fear of giving my evil plan away. Instead I just smiled deviously and quickly scanned the waiting room while acting like putting a magazine in my purse was a natural thing to do.

You are lucky the people at the Dr's office did not send you off to the Voluori!!! I hear Jane is pure evil to magazine thieves!!!

I actually confessed to my Mom in the exam room and she said you better hope they don't have these rooms bugged. I sure hope they don't or I am in a heap of trouble if Jane finds me. Those Volturi rules are harsh!

LOL~!!!! How funny!

I am still giggling that I took the magazine but the pictures of Rob are almost worth some jail time. I can't wait for the next appointment to see what new magazine they have with Rob in them.

We've got an inch of snow so our entire Portland metro area is shut down.

I'd like to get to that mall! (*anybody watch How I Met Your Mother??)

[travelmel]

P.S. I also read a pretty blase article about Michael (SP?) Copon did not leave me with the warm fuzzies about his person. Doesn't really matter too much in the end, I suppose.

Oh! I do! I do! That show is legend-wait for it-dary

Ok so i FIANLLY got to see Twilight last night...i thought it was good, Rob was awesome as Edward, LOVED Emmit. Thought Mike, Jess, Angela and Eric were cast perfect. Couldn't get past that Esme was played by freaky, pyscho Greys anatomy lady...and totaly had a different Charlie in my head...thought of a heavier more burly man. OK now..please no flames, but i thought Kristen Stewart was very twitchie..lol is that even a word??? I also felt the story was very rushed..there were a few girls in front of me that were talking....they haven't read the books..after the movie they were saying they didn't really understand certain parts and thought that Carlisle and Esme were suppposed to be younger...lol. Oh yeah and i think a few more sparkles would have been better on Edward in the sun..lol.

My 2 favorite parts were definitely the baseball game and when Edward and Bella walk in together for the first time..."everyone is looking...no not that guy ..ok now everyone is (i got it basically down right ) ..lol....i also liked when Alice and Jasper held hands in the car...don't know why, it was just a really sweet moment. Oh yeah and i thought James was really HOT!!!


** also wanted to add..How i met your mother is one of the best shows on tv!!!!!! My Dh and i have been watching from the start and crack up every week!!!

 

[evildiva]

Not sure if this is true or not...but our local radio station's celebrity goddip this morning said that they are looking to cast Robert Pattinson as Johnny Depp's brother in Pirates 4. If this is true, then two of me favorite men to look at on the big screen will be in the same movie. Perhaps they will make Rob a "dirty pirate" like Johnny. One can only hope.

LOOOOVE IT! When we were at Barnes and Noble DH bought "The Bro Code" (it's an actual book that was written as if by Barney himself.) for like $13. I just wanted to let you know it is WELL worth the money. SO FUNNY (and horrible, yes, of course)!!

Sorry for the OT But that show is hysterical. It's one of those gems that you figure can't be funny AGAIN this week and it always is.

P.S. Ariel: I totally thought Kirsten was twitchie! But, it made me feel better (For some weird reason) to see her in a real life interview and see that she is just that way. She's twitchy in person. It made it less annoying that she wasn't trying to "act" twitchy. lol
