ZOMG! TWILIGhT!

It was pretty good! I was very, I repeat VERY, surprised. I thought it was going to be some trashy chick flick, but it wasn’t! It actually stayed very true to the book, thankfully.And the person who played James?! omg, he was perfect for the character. He was all, like, rawr. And he wasn’t even that bad looking... >.>Though there were a few bad things. First of all, the person who played Bella kept shaking her head a whole bunch. “No!”-shake head-“Edward”-shake head a few more times-“You have to!”-shake head furiously-“You jumped across the lot!”

You get the point.

And then the sparkling scent... phft. Bad. It was so lame. He jumps into a ray of sunlight and is all like “THIS IS WHAT I LOOK IN THE SUN!! A MONSTER!!” phft. lame. Then they laid down in the grass together and stared at each other while Edward’s skin sparkled away. Phft. lame.

And then, finally, the kissing scene. He was all like “Lemme try one thing.” Then he leaned in, leaned back, leaned in, leaned back, and finally went for it, and Bella lunges for him, and he for Bella, then it was all like O.o for a few seconds there, and then suddenly Edward flies across the room.

But it was good. The actors were awesome. Jasper, James, and Esme were exactly as I pictured them. Carlisle played a good character, but not fatherly enough. And Emmet, i pictured bigger with blonde hair...

Anyway, HAPPY BREAK!

Good day.

Hot Cookie!

Well, as you probably know from Rebecca, yesterday I returned from my stay in good ol' Iowa. It was rather uneventful, except for some things. For example, on Thursday, Rebecca and I were left in charge of three kids. One, a rambunctious and loud and annoying, but cute, three-year-old. Two, a suck-up, but really sweet, eight-year-old. Three, an annoying and somewhat-responsible eleven-year-old who thinks she's on top of the world.

It was quite the experience.

For example, when asked about how he felt about John McCain, he promptly replied, "I don't like John McCain." And when asked about Norm Coleman, he responded with bathroom noises. But the best one was when he said what he thought about Barack Obama. "Hot cookie!" he cried. Me and Rebecca cracked up because he was being completely serious, though he was holding a cold cookie in his hand.
Also, he was giving out words of wisdom.
  • "If you want something to be broken, just leave it broken all the day long." (In response to Hannah's broken brush that she was throwing a tantrum about.)
  • "If you want to be over there, go." (In response to Hannah telling him to start over there for the dance they were making.)
  • "If you don't want to read with people, don't tell them." (I don't know what this one's about.)
But it was fun/stressful/got paid really well. Thanks Becca!

And then Saturday night, I was over for dinner at my other grandparents' house along with two aunts and uncles and a cousin with her husband.
Now. Picture this. I'm sitting at a table with my cousin and her husband, Chad, with Nathan there as well. And Chad knows about this new girlfriend of Nathan's, and he promptly asked, "Is she a good kisser?"

He said yes.
Oh. My. God.

And if it couldn't get worse, my grandpa thought that the people on the island (where Nathan worked for a bit. Small island. Uninhabited. Science stuff.) slept in tents. And he was worried about him and Lisa (his girlfriend) sharing tents.

Ohmu!!

And it still gets worse. Nathan is going out to see her at her college, and when he mentioned that, Chad asked where he was staying. And Nathan said a couch in her room. And Chad told him to be sure not to do anything. Especially with the thin walls.

Ohmu!!

But that's the most of my adventures. Except that we saw a missile on the road. Strapped to the top of a truck. With the US on the side of it. Scary? I think so!

Good day!

Not Todoodle!!

Ha, Kwano! Not todoodle!! Pie!! mwhahahaha...
Anyway, I'm back from camp. I'm a little sad, but it was a whole bunch of fun. You're probably going to here a lot of the same stuff Kwano said, but... it's my blog and I can do what I want!! MWHAHA!!
OK. The few most memorable moments are the following: NBA, the game (which I just lost), the "training", the Hootenanny, and winning Happy Camper!!
First, NBA. Nothing much to say about that. I'll talk to Kwano to see if you guys can be initiated. Anyway, Speedy allowed us entry. Twas/tis fun.
Then, the game. (which I just lost again. sorry folks.) it was so weird! Speedy all of a sudden said "Darn! I lost the game!!" then Kwano, Belle, Emma, and I were all like "GAAH!!" and she was all like "whoa, you guys play?" then that entire thing led to Speedy saying she lost the game whenever possible. *sigh* I lost the game more times that week then I have ever.
Then, the Hootenanny. At first, Kwano and I just stood around doing nothing, but then some of Hannah's friends came up to me and forced me to dance. Basically, they grabbed my arms and waved them around wildly. and another forced me to be her tango partner!! And another was all like "Don't make me snap my fingers in a 'Z' formation, 'X' formation, butt formation..." it was weird.
Afterwards, we went to bed and were woken up at 12:15. By Speedy. To go on a "Trust Walk". To a campfire. For S'mores. Sheesh. She said she was in there for five minutes trying to wake us up: shaking the beds, telling us to wake up... One girl (Belle, I think) groaned and rolled over and I, being half awake, said "What's Speedy doing this time?" Yea. It was annoying. I was so pissed. And Speedy was afraid we were going to kill her.
And, finally, winning Happy Camper. Apparently, we sang "The Elephant Song" and "Herman the Worm" that we were seen as being happy even though we hardly participated in the other singing/dancing. So, we won some Peanut Butter Patties. (I REFUSE to call them Tagalongs)
But that's it. Good Day!

GAH!! COLD!!

OK, having just arrived from FL last night, I'm quite disorientated... where there was sand, there's snow. where there were palm trees, there are leafless maples, oaks, etc. were there was heat (mostly), there is cold...
anyway, here is the basis of my trip, though some is quite annoying... take the morning of our departure... the moment to the clock ticked 4:30 AM on Sunday, I was out of bed, preparing for our 7:00 flight... we took a taxi to the airport, sat around, yadda yadda...
a few hours later, we arrived in Fort Myers, FL, and drove the 45 min to Sanibel where the family (holt house) beach house is located... and, after not eating for 11 hours, I was quite hungry... sadly, there was nothing in the house foodwise besides some Spaghettios and salt... we went to the grocery store, got food, came back, ate, read, ate some more, and went to bed...
Monday: New Years... *sigh* OK. every New Years, we make appetizers, and one of the appetizers was olive based... and the olives have to be in small pieces along with various other things... well, the olives still had pits in them and, because of the total incompetence for machines in the house, my brother and I had to pit them by hand... then, we had no cuisanart. only a blender. we ended up chopping EVERYTHING by hand... then, the rest of the night passed uneventfully... we watched the ball drop and played games... but get this: I have an hour less of 2007 and an hour more of 2008 because of the time change!!
Tuesday: Cold and rainy... didn't do anything
Wednesday: found many octipus on the beach.. all alive... that's it...
Thursday: MINI GOLF!!
Friday: last full day... and it was really cool because there was an entire rainbow above the beach... as in you could see the beginning and end of it!!
Saturday: cleaning, packing, yadda yadda... left around 3:00 for the 5:30 flight... got home 9ish...
and here i am... probably the longest post ever in the history of long posts by e2... and tomorrow there is school... im sad...
