Breaking Dawn Fantasy Post

In my last post I talked about doing a fantasy Breaking Dawn post. I thought it would be something fun to do since we are now embarking on this craptastic drought until next November (or at least until October when they start filming).

I want to do this in 2 different parts. The 1st part if going to be the wedding. The 2nd part will be the honeymoon and a couple of other things. Ideally, I would like you guys to email me your fantasy items, and I will do a huge compilation post. This won't be fun without participation from you guys, so get this out to your friends!



The Wedding Post will include things like:

1.) Bella's Dress, hair, garter, shoes, jewelry
2.) Edward's tux
3.) Alice's bridesmaid dress
4.) Inside the house decor
5.) Bouquets
6.) First dance song
7.) Bella/Charlie song
8.) Outdoor decor
9.) ....and anything else you guys can think of.

I want to keep it pretty close to the book. Certain things in the book aren't described that well (like Bella's dress for example) so some parts will just have to be a guess. Let me just tell you, I googled "Anne of Green Gables" style wedding dress and what came up was down-right frightening! It was all ugly, long-sleeved nightmares! Let's hope we have a more modern twist to the dress for Breaking Dawn. *crossing fingers*

So start sending me ur things. Email me about winklej@etsu.edu

I will be collecting things for probably another week or so. Look forward to seeing all ur ideas!!!

P.S. Kudos to whoever drew this pic. I found it on google. It's pretty stinking AMAZING!

Why is There Actually a Team Jacob?!?!

I apologize for waiting so long to update the blog. It's been a lazy past couple of weeks. I have been off since the end of June and have to go back to work this Friday...which is gonna SUCK! Waking up at 5:45 is gonna be a bitch since 9:00 has pretty much been my new schedule.

Just an FYI, this post is definitely going to embody the title of the blog-random rants. Several things I want to touch on. First is some Eclipse stuff.

Number 1-Why are there even Teams in the saga? I mean, I completely get that Jacob is a vital character in the story, and I love T. Lautner...but Team Jacob?!? WHY? Reality check......HE LOSES!!!!!!!!! I mean honestly, do Team Jacob fans not read the books? When Taylor and Kristen went to the fan event in Austrailia for the Eclipse promo, this interviewer asked these 2 girls why they were Team Jacob fans. One of the girls said, "because Jacob is soooo much sweeter and nicer than Edward." Ummmmmm....excuse me, but what planet do you live on because I'm pretty sure Jacob is an asswipe through 3/4 of the books! I think there is another version of the books floating around somewhere for the Jacob fans....because sometimes I feel like we r not even reading the same ones.

I ran across this shirt on CafePress...oh yes, and I bought it!!!



Speaking of Jacob fans, I went to see Eclipse for the 3rd time by myself (because i'm that cool) the other day. Two middle-aged women sat directly behind me. And I 99.9% sure one of them was an avid Team Jacob fan because every time Taylor came on the screen, she sounded like she had a big O. Seriously, the sounds she made had me throwing up in my mouth a little. I wanted to turn around and be like, "Dude, he just turned 18, that's gross." I'm only 22 and still find it a little weird to stare at his perfectly-sculpted abs. wait what?? lol. Plus, he reminds me wayyyy too much of my brother. Legit, some girls call my brother Jacob Black and Taylor Lautner...so yeah, a little weird for me.


hehe, Taylor I love you, but I thought this was hilarous!

Number 2-To be perfectly honest, I hated the Sia song "My Love" when I bought the Eclipse soundtrack. People were saying it was their fav song from the soundtrack, and I literally thought, "whaaaattt? r we listening to the same thing?!?" But ever since I saw the leg hitch/proposal scene, I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!! It's like I'm listening to a completely different song. It may have something to do with the fact that I imagine Kristen, er Bella jumping into Rob's, um Edward's arms everytime I hear it.

What did you guys think of the score? I have heard a lot of people say they hated it. Me...I thought it was one of the best scores so far. I am in love with it!



Now for the random...



ummm, HELLO! how in the hell did I miss this?!?!? And then I saw the BTS video of them filming this scene the other day. I guess I was on vacay or something when this came out because I don't know how I missed it. But seeing this reminds me of all the baby talk Rob has done recently ;-) Someone should totally write a fanfic about this...Rob/Kristen/baby.

Some pretty great things have happened recently like this:



0_0!!!!!!!! Holy UNF!



Yes, YEs, YES! Dear Kristen-please always keep ur hair this color. You look GORGEOUS! <3's me



#Trufax-This pic is stuck on the side of my filing cabinet at work. Is that too much? Probably, oh well, I'm pretty sure all of my students have realized my obsession by now. P.S. Yes, I know Taylor is supposed to be in the pic, but it is much better like this ;-)



Can I legit tell you how excited I was when the livestream camera went over to Kristen posing for pics, and then here comes Rob walking up to her??? I'm pretty sure I was on the edge of my chair screaming, "they're gonna do it!!!!" and when they actually did, I literally jumped out of the chair and squealed. I'm glad my brother was in a different room when this happened. Because he already thinks I've gone off the deep end. And I don't think I need to address the way she's clinging to him...that in itself says enough :-) There are tons more pics from that night, so I will address those in another post.


Can we please discuss these? Because I'm pretty sure when I clicked on the link to these fine gems on Twitter, I nearly fell out of my chair. I had no idea that these awaited me on the other side of the link, so I was a wee bit unprepared.



O-M-G!!!!



*sigh*



SQUEEEEEEEEE


Sorry if this post seems unorganized, but I had a lot of random little things I wanted to talk about. Promise the next post will be a little bit more coherent. I'm still trying to navigate my way through using blogger.

One little thing I wanted to discuss before ending is a post I want to do in the near future. It is a post that would be loads of fun with participation from you guys. So let your friends know (because doing this with only 4 followers aint gonna cut it). I want to do a Breaking Dawn fantasy post...because let's be serious, we're gonna need something to tide us over until next FREAKING November when the 1st part comes out. This depresses me, but I guess set pics for Breaking Dawn are only a couple months away.

Anyway, the things I want to post about are like fantasy:

1.) Wedding dress
2.) Decor
3.) Flowers
4.) Wedding songs
5.) Honeymoon location
6.) Honeymoon house
7.) Honeymoon songs (naughty or nice ;-))
8.) What their cottage would look like

...or anything else you guys can think of to discuss. So get this out there to your friends, and I will try to compile a big post for this. I think it will be lots of fun! And who knows, maybe we will send our ideas/demands to MR ;-)

big shout out to @vonch on Twitter for the push to update my blog!

Eclipse-Holy Shiznit!

I've been neglecting the blog for about a week or so (it's not like I have that many followers to entertain or anything...lol), but I cannot load blogger on my work computer for some reason...and it sucks!

My last post was going to be about the Eclipse LA Premiere cause all kinds of epic stuff went down. But we will get to that later. Right now I want to discuss the movie.

And O-M-G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! David Slade, ily! Soooo amazing.

Here are some things that really stood out to me...mostly positive and great:

1.) 1st scene-HELLO RILEY! U r SEXY!

2.) The 1st meadow scene-so sweet and HOT! I could barely hold myself together within the first five minutes. The teasing was…yummy!

3.) Protective/Jealous/Worried Edward gave me butterflies…for real

4.) Beginning of movie felt kinda rushed and choppy in bits…but hey, there’s a lot of material to fit within 2 hrs.

5.) The middle/end of the movie paced out better…not as rushed

6.) Charlie/Bella “talk” was PURE WIN!

7.) One of my best friends that went with me is officially Team Jasper...she said Edward comes first, then Jasper. lol

8.) Leg Hitch-O-M-G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was shot totally different than I expected it to be, and it was AWESOME! It was perfection at it’s finest.

9.) The Proposal was so sweet-you could tell he was nervous. But when she accepted and he picked her up off the bed and swung her around…yeah I died a little inside. Freaking most adorable thing EVER! And that smile he got on his face whenever she said yes....yes, yes, yes! I was a little disappointed that we didn't get these angles...




10.) Jacob/Bella kiss-little bit longer than I expected it to be. I was like, “OKAYYYY, we can stop now.” My friend was literally dying beside me because she hated it. lol. But it didn’t bother me too much. I could sense the emotion in it.

11.) Fight scene-WIN!

12.) Edward/Riley/Victoria fight-Even better! Fightward for the win!

13.) I haven't seen anyone else mention this in their reviews...but did anyone see the part after Edward killed Victoria and he came back over to Bella and ripped that piece of her shirt to stop the bleeding? yes, that ONE! OMG, I about killed over. Something about ripping her shirt that fast was unbelievably HOT! I know I went, "omg!" before I realized what he was doing. haha!

14.) End meadow scene-LOVED it! those were some of the best scenes. The look Edward gets in his eyes when Bella is making her speech is beyond heartbreaking…in a good way.


Whew, that was long. Sorry! But yeah, it was Freaking Amazing! Can’t wait to go see it about 5 more times. I want to see it by myself…I can enjoy it more then. So my brother and I are going again tomorrow at lunch to see it. I had to bribe him and say that I would go play disc golf afterwards. :-/ Have any of you ever played that??? Cause I suck at it...bad! It is embarrassing. Last time I went with him, I made sure no one else was around us. lol.

P.S. Rob/Kristen’s chemistry was off the charts in the movie! It was beyond words. You could really tell how much more natural and relaxed they were with each other. The teasing and lightheartedness that they brought to Edward/Bella was a much needed plus for this movie.

Here are some pics from last night's midnight premiere



yes, I went full-on cheese for my Eclipse premiere shirt. lol



my good friend Megan (she's the one that died during the Bella/Jacob kiss)



getting ready
