*blink*
Your neigbor has a gargoyle?
My sister had a fit when she saw an angel at a church in Budapest.
What was freaky, was that, it did have its hands over its face.

*pauses, then looks at first line*
thats wierd....

*wonders what Daylily and Garrett are talking about; decides she doesn't really want to know*

Great link, Garrett! I like the video and info on the car. It's awesome!

About an hour ago, I finished reading Breaking Dawn, and it was amazing! I'm very excited and hyper-ish right now!

Yay kk! You finished it!!! I'm glad you liked it as well!!! hmmm... when do you think we can start talking about the book??

Garrett nice link!! I love that car. I want it so bad. A gargoyle at your neighbors house?!? No way!!! That's so weird and cool at the same time!

I don't know...that's a very good question...because there's a kind-of spoiler that I want to post really really badly, and it's a picture, so it can't be whited out (or can it?).

But the picture is awesome! *wants to post it*

Probably not. :-) But if you want a bit more in the way of details: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/episodes/2007/fear/f-10.shtml

It's a miniature gargoyle that squats next to her steps. I'm kind of ticked, because now Ael won't walk Mac at night. :-)

That show looks interesting, Garrett...Hmmm....

I like the weather right now: Rain! And yesterday there was a huge storm, with a suspicious lack of lightning...

And I saw something really weird...I looked out the window, and saw a silver car parked on the other side of the road, right across from the driveway. It was definitely, without a doubt, a volvo. I've seen so many recently...

Anyway, just as I was going to look away, a couple walked up to the car. They didn't look old, but the way they were hunched over, and used canes, and wore older-styled clothing, it made them look old.

Well, they looked around a little bit, seeing if there was anyone there, and in a matter of seconds, it seemed, they straightened up, literally jumped into the car, and sped off.

I was kind of weirded out...it was just so strange! Hmm...

Edit:

I'm reading some poems by a guy who's last name is Cullen, and I can't help but laugh at some of these.

Here is a part of one of his poems:

quote:

Originally written by William Cullen:

Thus, Oblivion, from midst of whose shadow we came,
Steals o'er us again when life's twilight is gone;
And the crowd of bright names, in the heaven of fame,
Grow pale and are quenched as the years hasten on.

That poem is... creepy
I was in Ireland, and there was a car-sales place by the name of Bill Cullen...

I was in the supermarket yesterday, and I saw a poster done by a pre-school class. It was something like "Thank You For Letting Us Come To The Supermarket We Learned So Much Here"
It was singed, and the names I noticed were; Issabella, Edward, Alice, Rosalie, Jessica and Angelina. What do you make of that?

Daylily: Gasp! No way! That's soo.... weird/cool/funny!!! Haha. I can't believe that the names were so... similar. Haha

kk: The poem wicked awesome!! That's so cool. You know there's a book written by a Cullen, can't remember the first name... I'm kind of tempted in reading it because...

Garrett, I love Doctor Who! haha, I don't think I've seen that episode... do you think they have it on YouTube?

I really want to start talking about the book... I've been like itching to talk to someone who's finished it!!

I've seen it there, but I'd recommend getting it on DVD (http://netflix.com/, for example). It's much better watched late at night, with all the lights in the house out, and the bass turned up. :-)

Re: preschools -- Erin's class had a couple of kids with highly recognizable names. I'm just blanking on which ones at the moment. It wasn't quite as blatant as Harry and Hermione, but it was close. :-)

And I'm very disappointed that I haven't seen any Mercedeses (sorry, Sound of Music flashback) or Volvos driving around. Yes, it's the other side of the country, but you'd think there'd be _some_ vampires living in Stephen King territory...

Excuse me, have you seen a blowfish driving a sports car?

Daylily: Whoa, that's awesome! So funny! Meet those kids, and take pictures or something!

Emi: I need to look up that book...I saw others, when I looked up the name Cullen on www.gutenberg.com, and there were some books...one of them was about the history of the church, I think...I need to look that up...

I'm so excited! I'm having a Twilight party! *scream* My twilight-obsessed friends and I are making sure everything's going to be awesome, and very like the books. We each get to dress up like a Cullen, or other character from the saga!

I'm going to be Alice, my friend Liz is going to be Rosalie (which is ironic, because she really likes this guy named Emmett), and my other friend, who's a klutz, kind of, will be Bella!

Tomorrow I go shopping at thrift stores for Cullen-ish outfits, and/or jewelry. It's going to be fun! I've been trying to find charms for a charm bracelet: a wolf, and a faux diamond heart.

At the party, we're basically going to dress in costume, cover ourselves in glitter gel, and run around outside at the nearby park. Also, the weather forecast says there's going to be thunderstorms that day, so we're probably going to be playing baseball.

There will be actual food, of course, but we've decided that the only beverage there will be tomato juice, only served in wine glasses. (Blood substitute, of course. It's a bit clichéd, but it'll work.)

The party is going to make up for the fact that neither of us went to a midnight release party.

I'll take pictures of everyone in costume, and post them here. *is very very hyper and excited about party*

So. Um. Has anyone else heard the good news?

Twilight (the movie) is being moved up to November 21st since Harry Potter and the Half-Blooded Prince got moved to the Summer of 2009.

quote:

Movie News Flash!

So, many of you have heard that the release of the sixth Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, has been moved from this Thanksgiving to next summer. First and foremost, please know that this schedule change has absolutely nothing to do with Twilight, me, or Summit Films (so enough with the imdb death wishes, okay?). This is Warner Bros. decision, and it was not motivated by anything Twilight-related.

Now for the good news! Though we're all sad to have to wait for Harry Potter, this open spot at the theater creates a cool opportunity. The good people at Summit were thrilled to let me know that now Twilight fans are going to get their movie three weeks earlier than scheduled. That's right—Twilight will be released in theaters November 21st! Let the merry-making commence!

--Stephenie

Cool. Huh? I can't wait!! It's during Thanksgiving break... so I can go to the midnight premiere if I wanted to. I wouldn't have to go to school that day.

Alrighty, that's all I wanted to say.

Happy Day!

EDIT: Oh Garrett! I've seen some Mercedes and Volvos all over my town, but I'm Southern NH... Speaking of Stephen King, I almost stayed at Washington Hotel, or Hotel Washington, whatever it's called one summer. But we decided against it. Haha.

Yeah, I got an email alert about the moving of Twilight to the 21st, but I didn't know that HBP was being moved to next summer: That's horrible! My father will be heartbroken! But I can only go to one or two movies a year, so this leaves a better chance of me being able to see Twilight...hmm...

It's going to be a good movie, I think. I like the trailers for it...I can't wait!

So do you think the HBP trailer is going to be shown with Twilight?

DD blogged about the Harry Potter movie delay last week. Must say I find it an extraordinary decision by Warner Bros.. I guess it does mean that Twilight will move up to Thanksgiving rather than Xmas, which may be a good thing for it. I slightly wonder why they didn't try to get it out at Halloween though...

Yeah, I heard about that. But unfortunately I can't be as happy as I'd like to be about it because HBP is moving! *dies* I think it's going to be a good movie, though, so I'm not holding a grudge for it taking HBP's spot. As for what you said about the trailer, kk, I don't know. That's an interesting idea. Do you think they'd show it that far ahead?

I think they might...They showed the Twilight trailer with Prince Caspian, even when they thought it wouldn't be released until December 12th.

I had an interesting conversation with a nurse at my grandfather's nursing home today. I mentioned Twilight to my sister and then she explained how her daughter made her stand in line at a bookstore for four hours to get BD for her...It sounded like a funny story...

Aw man! Poor Harry. Lucky Dumbledore haha

Emi: Do you think a large PM could be started so that everyone who has read BD could discuss it there in the meantime?

Heh heh gargoyles... Wasn't there a cartoon about Gargoyles? Kind of like a He Man thing?

They never play Doctor Who on regular TV, so I've never really had the chance to sit down and watch it

Mel: That sounds like a good idea. Do you want me to start one? If so, anyone who wants to talk about it, please just say so here...

Dr. Who plays on the SciFi channel every now and then. The season ended like a few weeks ago. Does anyone know if Catherine Tate is going to be in the next season?? Or even David Tennent? (Love him by the way)

Anyway back on topic, Twilight had a trailer for Prince Caspian?? I did NOT know that. I wanted to see that movie in theaters too! Ugh.

Um... Who do you think is the best portrayal of the Twilight Characters in the movie?

I want to say Emmett, because Kellan Lutz looks so much like what I thought Emmett would look like... minus the curly hair part.

Alice, Emmett, Bella, Edward, Rosalie, and Jasper

Carlisle and Esme

Jacob Black

Thats most of the characters...

Remember, if you want to do a PM about BD, just say so and then I'll start it up??

Emmett and Alice...I just love Alice's hair! It's so awesome! Carlisle too, though. He looks as described. He's pretty much had the same affect on my friends that he did on ppl in the book, so, yeah.

Jacob needs a ponytail...

You know, the thing about Alice's hair is, I expected it to be shorter. Like, not really a pixie cut, but a bit longer than that and a bit shorter than in the movie.

Wow, what a convoluted answer.

Anyway!

I think Carlisle looks the most, and Esme too. The others are more or less in the general area of what they should look like, though I think Jasper would look much better with shorter hair. I guess Emmett looks the same, but he's sort of a cardboard character until book four so I never really spent too much time thinking about what he looked like, really. Sorry, Emi

Oh, and on the PM: Yeah, sure, go for it! I'd join to talk

Aww. Me = no SciFi channel.

ach weel.

EDIT: Oh, and I think Jacob generally looks all right I can't wait to see him on screen

*happy sigh*

I just made a huge container of glitter gel! It'll be so much fun tomorrow, when my friends and I get to use it! So now I'm all sparkly because I've been testing to see how shiny it is...and there's glitter pretty much covering the floor of my room... heheheh...
