It is pretty obvious that I’m a big Twilight geek. I just can’t help it.

Those of you who have read it know that it is like crack. Moody, glittery vampire crack that I distributed and pushed on you all. My own copy has made some rounds and converted quite a few here in Chicago.

And to those of you who scoff and say you don’t like angsty teen vampire novels, I was the same way. NOW LOOK AT ME.

Then when you add RPattz to the picture? I’m done for.

So when Katelin got to meet and interview the cast, I pretty much was freaking out all weekend for her with each text I received and that led to this brief conversation with my sister (ignore the mural part, that was a response to a previous question).

Obviously sad pathetic fan girls don’t say fuck.

Only awesome ones do.

P.S. “Jamie in Chicago” from this video interview with him is me. RPattz knows I exist.This clearly means I’m better than you. (except for Katelin because she got to meet him)
P.P.S. And basically that we are getting married.
P.P.P.S. Registered at Pottery Barn, what up.
P.P.P.P.S. Haters to the mother fucking left.
P.P.P.P.P.S. This is probably the most ridiculous post I have ever written.

Thanks for all your comments on Disqus yesterday and today! I removed it and since I couldn’t just activate threaded comments via Wordpress (not compatible with my theme), I had to install the Wordpress Threaded Comments plugin. So far it seems okay but I hate that I have to enter all of my info when I want to reply to a comment on my own freaking blog!

But I’ll live.

And because New Moon is just weeks away, I’m hosting a Twilight themed giveaway over on my shopping blog.

Go check it out for a chance to win a tee of your choice from Firedaughter Clothing.

Stay fierce.

We all know I’m a total whore for RPattz and Edward Cullen. I’m not ashamed to say I enjoy some pent up steamy vampire non-sex. But seriously fuck off, Stephanie Meyers, these damn books ruined all possible future relationships I might have and I now have unrealistic expectations for men*.

Anyway, yesterday I came across Twilight tattoos**. Unfortunately, there is such a thing because people get them.

Why?

I guess Edward dazzled them into doing it but really, is Twilight such a great piece of literature that you must have it tattooed on your body?

UNTIL YOU DIE?!

Well these people think so.

I know bring you the worst tattoos I’ve ever seen.***

I know some of you might have read my twitter about being unimpressed once I walked out of the theater. First off, no one screamed during the movie which was good or they would have got a Nike to the back of the head.

Casting:
- Rosalie was like the biggest casting fail. She was suppose to be this like hot fierce bitch but she was definitely not.
- Jasper was okay but I think he was just a little too stiff, if would have loosened up it would have been way better.
- Mike and Jessica. NO.
- who I liked: Alice, Emmet, James, Victoria, Laurent and Charlie. I thought they were cast very well

Biggest gripes:
- not enough build up. I know you’ve read the books. They are continuously on the verge of getting hot and heavy. The one kiss was good but it just wasn’t enough. I don’t think there was enough passion between them to get the full effect of the books.
- Kristen Stewart underacts, especially in the breakup/leaving Forks scene. She’s too controlled.
- the diamond glittering effects and sounds. Seriously, could you get anymore cheesy? Totally should have looked like this (scroll down).
- a lot of the high school scenes just annoyed the hell out of me.
- they veered from the book a lot. I can understand have to adapt to a movie but this was just too much.

Things I loved:
- the bad vampires. They were cast so well and Victoria is perfect. Can’t wait to see how she does in movie three!
- the baseball scene. Loved it!
- RPattz playing the piano. Um hi, I totally melted.

Overall, they skipped way too much. Added in too much bullshit. Not enough Edward and Bella buildup. Rosalie sucked. It felt like it moved too fast and was over way too quick. It wasn’t horrible but had so much more potential. It could have been amazing. They just got the go ahead for the next three. Hopefully, they will be way better even though New Moon is next and bores the hell out of me.

Oh and did you notice Stephanie Meyers was in it for a split second? She was in the cafe.

Twilight movie = FAIL

What did you think?

Twilight came out in theaters today. I will not be seeing it until Sunday so take your spoilery bullshit somewhere else!*

Good thing Jessica Maria and I started out internetz book club and read Twilight because don’t we all need to be distracted by fictional, smoldering hot vampires who are obsessed with the person they love and consider their life?

Yes, thank you Stephanie Meyers for distracting me from life for a solid four days while I read those books. Even though your writing was cheesy and Bella was whiny as hell. You still sucked me in.

Twilight is my crack.

Alright, time for some RPattz** for this Friday morning. Who doesn’t love this dude?***

* Yes, we all know what happens since we read the books but I still don’t want to hear it!
** The hair**** is totally sexy. I don’t care what you bitches say.
*** Crazy people, that’s who.
**** Marry me, plz and we can have amazing hair together. Thanks.

Last week, boyfriend and I did some shopping. I was dying to know what happened in the last book of the Twilight series or saga as they call it. A stop at Borders was definitely needed to pick up my latest dose of Edward Cullen.

We get to Borders and go our separate ways, I rush of to the land of Edward and he heads towards the magazines. I grab the book and scurry to the counter to pay. There was a guy there probably about my age working the register, blah blah small talk, doesn’t seem to notice that I am 24 year old giddy ass girl clutching a silly young adult novel or does and is trying not to laugh.

Maybe that’s why he felt the need to bust me out.

I use to have one of those Borders rewards cards on my key chain but then realized it was linked to my mom’s account so I decided to make my own. He grabs a card and asks for my email address, I hesitate before speaking, “jamieislovely at gmail dot com”

Then this kid opens his mouth and says:

“Oh that’s cute. It’s nice to have such a high opinion of yourself. That’s healthy.”

I grab my preteen novel of vampire lust, attempt to pick my jaw up off the floor and try not to throw back:

“it’s my secret bloggy code name, shut up!”

Then stopped when I realized how even more geeky it would be to tell someone you have a secret bloggy code name while drooling over fictional vampires…

COMMENTS CLOSED!

A few weeks ago, Jessica Maria asked her readers if she should pick up the hyped up, bloodsucking teenage novel, Twilight. I was like – you jump, I jump and so our super awesome internetz book club was born. We both finished it and last night we talked Edward Twilight.

It’s kind of long and my formatting got screwed up but if you are a fan of Twilight or thinking about reading them or just plain interested in how a convo with either of us would go, check it out. Oooh, and there is pictures – pretty vampire pictures! Those alone are worth it!

Jessica: you’ve effin’ finished the SECOND book?!

Jessica: you’re on the third or have you finished the third??

Jamie: it’s ridiculous. i went to target saturday night and picked up the second and third

Jamie: and now have finished both

Jamie: i’m kind of ridiculous

Jamie: but i was totally sucked in and NEEDED to know what happened.

Jessica: right right

Jessica: i finished the first and definitely want to know what happened

Jessica: well, let’s talk about the FIRST one hahaha

Jamie: hahah i know right, jumping ahead of myself here!

Jessica: okay, so a of all, if i was fifteen this would be a tome for me

Jessica: as a military kid who went to three high schools and was always the new kid

Jessica: but i would have turned into a sulky kid, without an edward… so it’s good i didn’t read it in highschool

Jamie: seriously, high school girls are dying right now because there is no edward in their lives

Jamie: no one to dazzle them!

Jessica: oh gawd

Jessica: some her words though – like “dazzle”

Jessica: made me scrunch up my face

Jamie: really! i was like who says that!?

Jessica: there were a lot of really funny lines that made me laugh

Jessica: oh man! there was one that was SO hilarious, but i forgot to mark it

Jessica: it was like, “if he left i would only be left with a perilous anguish and depression” – cheese

Jamie: i know! it was so dramatic at times

Jessica: okay, also, nobody in the entire story ever smiled

Jessica: is the word “smile” in the book?

Jessica: all i picture are intense stares

Jamie: agreed. everyone was so serious

Jessica: she’s always disgruntled and edward is always just intense and silentish

Jessica: even the end when she’s supposed to be yay! happy! i’m alive!

Jessica: she’s all complaininz about makeup and a dress

Jamie: it was prom! that’s what people do! how did she not know about it

Jamie: obviously lost in edward’s dazzle-ing

Jessica: hahaha

Jamie: it made me laugh about the kid who showed up at her house thinking they were going to prom together though

Jessica: haha, that is true

Jessica: he was a little comic relief in all the “i’m gonna hunt you down and killz you” stuff

Jessica: and ps you can’t be with me because you’re gonna die and i will live forever

Jamie: and then OMGZ I’m old!

Jamie: you’re like a year older, chill!

Jessica: that freak out was so stupid

Jessica: she’s all sad on her birthday and angry on prom

Jessica: dude, your boyfs is hot and loves you eternally and you’re all disappointed with life?

Jessica: ps you’re alive, you almost died.

Jamie: okay this is kind of stupid but in the beginning when they were talking about how they dont hunt humans

Jamie: i was thinking well wtf how do they survive?!

and i was well Carlisle is a doctor at a hospital and they have blood there! they totes steal blood for like infusions and stuff

Jessica: hahaha great guesswork! too bad they like ‘em grizzlies and mountain lions

Jessica: okay okay okay important part: edward is fucking hot

Jamie: um YEAH he is!

Jessica: so after finishing the book i totally looked up the movie trailer and how they cast the movie…

Jamie: hahah i was going to bring this up !
