Curious. Very curious.

Well, as everyone already knows by now, I am Dani. And Dani is the judge of the lovely debate that took place over... However long ago it was. XD (Wow, has it really been that long since I've worked on something blog related???)

So, anyways. Let's talk about the debate.

Anna
Strong points- You backed up your claims very well with lots of evidence.
Weak points- How do I know that vampires aren't bad too??? And your arguments were sort of leaning towards "Theres too many werewolves so they aren't bad." thing. (Well, to me. I wouldn't really know. XD)

Erin
Strong points- You were very agressive out on the field.
Weak points- I'm still not entirely convinced that werewolves are so bad. Your arguments were more of like "Well, this is how it is. I'm right." kinda thing.


So, sorry if that was offensive to either or you. I swear, I didn't mean it in that way.

*shakes head* Good lord, do I really want to judge this??? I feel like you guys are going to end up hating me if I pick one of you over the other and you'll delete my Tech column. Hmph. *crosses arms over chest*

So.... Drumroll please!!!!

DRUMROLL DRUMROLL DRUMROLL DRUMROLL DRUMROLL DRUMROLL DRUMROLL DRUMROLL DRUMROLL DRUMROLL

The winner is....

*gasps*

*gasps*

*coughs*

*sprays breath spray in mouth*

*coughs*

*screams*

*gasps*

*throws tack at picture of Edward Cullen*

*takes bite of pizza*

*spills pizza sauce on jacket*

*slops water on self because of shaking hands*

*gasps*

*takes deep breath*


THE WINNER IS ALICE CULLEN!!!!!

*throws confetti and hands Erin a Rosalie cupcake*


Well, good job, mates. Let me tell you why I picked Anna.

Anna seemed to have more factual evidence, rather than opinions. Besides, Ashlyn told me about werewolves imprinting on people at the movies when I went and saw Twilight, and from what it sounds like to me, it wasn't Jacob's fault that he was so in love with Bella. He didn't do it on purpose or anything.

Sorry Rosie!!! (If I may be so bold as to call you that.) Dani will give you a big hug and kiss at school tomorrow. If you want. :D

Congratulations Alice!!! You now have free reign over the song choice!!! (If I can figure it out.)

And as for me, well... I'm still not sold on the vampires being better than werewolves. Well, actually I am. James was way better than any of the characters!!! And no one can convince me otherwise.

And now... I shall take my leave. Math homework is calling, and well... God knows how long that's going to take.

- GUESS WHAT??? Two days until Australia comes out!
- EVEN MORE GUESS WHAT???? Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince comes out on July 17, 2009!
- EVEN MORE GUESS WHAT WHAT?????? Only one day left of school until Thanksgiving break!
- EVEN MORE GUESS GUESS WHAT WHAT????????? Please say you noticed the lovely Harry Potter reference to the title. XD

Rose has a Playlist!!!

Alice's Twilight Playlist (aren't you excited)

Here it is, in honor of the famous Steph, Rose and I have each created our own playlists of songs that we feel represent Twilight(whether that be in BPOV or EPOV or just inspiring of some of the ideas that play a part in any piece of the Twilight Canon). So hopefully, you and I have similar taste in music, and if not, let me know what you think should be on here! I have added explanations on some of them because it wouldn't make sense if you just listened to the song. Enjoy!

SONG ARTIST

1.Animal I Have Become Three Days Grace
2.Fireworks Plain White T's
3.For Heaven's Sake Billie Holiday
4.I've Just Seen A Face Jim Sturgess (From Across the Universe)
5.Paperthin Hymn Anberlin
6.La Vie En Rose Louis Armstrong
(If you didn't know, La Vie En Rose is like saying you are looking at life through rose colored glass, in other words, life is good.)
7.What I've Done Linkin Park
8.Let Me Take You There Plain White T's
9.Lullaby The Spill Canvas
(Keeps saying he wants to "sing her to sleep" and it reminded me of when Edward offered to keep Bella's bad dreams away by singing all night.)
10.Under The Weather K.T. Tunstall
(This song simply reminds me of Forks)
11.Johanna Sweeney Todd Soundtrack
(You have to replace "Johanna" with Bella, Antony is Edward, and change "yellow hair" to brown)
12.Seventeen Forever Metro Station
13.Extraordinary Girl Green Day
(They keep saying "some days he feels like dying" which reminded me of Jacob, and "she gets so sick of crying" which makes me think of Bella and how she is tired of cying over Jacob.)

Well, there it is, I hope you enjoy it. Sorry, I don't have the skills enough to make an actual playlist, but I hope you go listen to these songs!

Alice 's music!

(and you too!)


OOH! OOH! Who likes the icon?

Keep it classy Twilight lovers!
aliceCULLEN

Eh?

New background... Didn't make it myself. Am in the process of trying to make one... We'll see how it goes.

Oh, it's Dani by the way. In case you hadn't guessed already. :D

Gah. Headaches.

Guess who????

1. I like to write.
2. I get really bad stage fright.
3. I have a blog myself.
4. I help people with HTML.

It's none other than Dani, folks! And you know what... You know what... I think that we are getting a spiffy new template!!!!! *gasps* Why yes, that would mean that I have figured out the dumb thing they like to call Paint Shop Pro. :D I'm not a pro. I made this really awesome Joker icon though... It's up there! *squeals* And I made this other thing but it sucks. But I know some pretty cool tricks now so we shall get a new look! AN UPGRADE, my friends! UPGRADE TO THE MAX!!!!

Shlove you bunchies,
Dani

Hey! Anna likes purple too!!!!! Not as in the Joker purple, but it's purple all the same! WOOO!

Bella was not thinking straight when she decided to ride the motorcycles, as she was still being catatonic and depressed. So it would lead me to question the sanity of her decision. I mean, she was doing that so that she could hear voices in her head! However, the sanity of Bella is not the real issue here. I am merely pointing out that Jacob should have been the responisble one and kept her safe.


Seth may have still been raised there, but as his mom was distraught over the death of his father, and therefore learned that death was bad, making him pro-peace. So his experiences were very different from those of Jacob.

Also, the werewolves never really saved Bella's life. If the existence of mythical creatures remained in fairy tales, Bella would have been dead at least twice over. For example, Tyler's car almost runs her over. Ever if she had not died, but continued her life in Forks, Port Angeles would have made her much like Rosalie, but instead of being undead she would be dead. And even if she somehow survived that, she would have found some other way to stop breathing. It's Bella, after all. Without the existence of creatures that should not exist, Bella would be 6 feet under.

So anyhow, I will just publish this post now. I can do another, longer one after Anna blogs. So the ball is in your court, mon amie. And just for you, I will turn my text purple.

ROSEcullenROXyourSOX

Eh-hem. I must say, I do disagree with you...

A/N: Dani, Seth is the werewolf, formerly in Sam's pack but now in Jacob's, the has, out of the kindness of his spectacular werewolf heart has befriended Edward, and therefore most of the Cullens.


To my lovely blogging pal, Rose:


It is my regret to inform you that you are once again, wrong. The Queilute tribe that lives on the reservation regards the Cullens with coldness of heart and suspicion, werewolf or not. In Twilight, Jacob mentioned that the Cullens were not allowed on their land. Granted, he did not believe the myths at that time, but he was, nevertheless, raised in the very environment you claim Seth to be free of. Wrong my friend. Seth's father, Harry Clearwater, was on the council and friends with Billy Black. These deeply-rooted convictions that Billy holds close were not only his. They were, and are, spread throughout the entire Queilute tribe.

As for hating Jacob. I don't. I am merely prone to over-exaggertion and dramatics; this you should know. Looking back, I was only frustrated with the way he handled the Bella-Edward-Jacob love-triangle situation. Now, the situation is taken care of, Jacob loves Renesmee, and all is forgiven, and I am firmly on Team Switzerland.

And now we have come full-circle back to Jacob. Is Edward not equally selfish for wanting to take Bella and keep her for all eternity? (Don't get me wrong, I would do the same if i was Bella and Edward was the human, buy I never claimed to be unselfish, now, did I??) Breaking Dawn and New Moon are the epitome of examples that every decision that Bella has made that has gone awry, has been two-sided. Sure Jacob built the motorcycle, but she was the one who decided to get on it! All of the allegations toward Bella are false, and cannot be ligitimized by pointless, factless arguments!


So let's leave at that folks, it's time for Anna to go to bed.

(oh if only there were no need for sleep, how I long....)

*sighs wistfully*
aliceCULLEN (the icon seemed fitting)

The Judge makes a lovely point about the debate, however long... *smirks*

Hello everyone! My name is Dani and I am the judge of the whole debate. *makes impromptu drumroll sound* You know, I should make myself a Photoshopped hat. That would be totally insane! Like my Harry Potter t-shirts. Golly, that was amazing. I even amazed myself. ;) Because then I can get a hat like Robert Angier's hat in the Prestige!!!! *sighs* Oh man, Hugh Jackman is HOT in that movie. XD But not nearly as fine as in Swordfish- *gets bug eyes* Oh man. I said that out loud, didn't I? Right. *mutters "Note to self: Stop revealing personal comments in public places that could potentially turn out to be embarrassing nightmares!"* :)

Hah. So... Before I begin, I must say that I know NOTHING about Twilight. So, technically, it is fair that I am the judge because I am not influenced by things like "Well, werewolves were part of the Assyrian revolution and helped further it..." blah, blah, blah. So, I cannot be prejudiced by anything! Why? Because, no offense, but I really don't care.

But I do care about this debate! Because I am the judge! Which means I have to pick a winner! So, let's evaluate the Alice's and Rose's arguements so far!!!!!

Dani's thoughts about Rose: Rose, good job with refering back to the text! However, most of your arguements seem to be based on opinion, rather than facts and textual evidence... IE: "I have the upper hand..." Let's not get too ahead of ourselves, mon amie! There's still a long way to go! Oh, and another thing about Anna *cough* Sorry, Alice... Alice's statement that werewolves were bad back in eighth grade... People are allowed to change their minds!

Dani's thoughts about Alice: Alice, great job with basing things off of facts and stuff! I am a twee bit confused by your arguements. Perhaps you might want to include little explanations of who Seth is??? The judge doesn't quite understand!

Dani's thoughts on who is winning: Neutral! But perhaps Rose could come up with a kick butt arguement... Alice's seem to be a bit stronger at this point in time....

Dani's thoughts on the whole debate: Is it just me, or is this debate a little hypocritical? Let me start off with a quote from Alice: The people of Forks are really only scared of the idea something dangerous lurking in the shadows.
EXACTLY.
The people are scared of the idea of dangerous things lurking in the shadows.
Werewolves are dangerous... They bite you...?
VAMPIRES ARE DANGEROUS.... THEY SUCK YOUR BLOOD AND IF THEY GET TOO MUCH THEY CAN KILL YOU!!!!!!!
Sheesh. So then we could debate the pros and cons of vampires, too! Do you not see the hypocrisy???? Or maybe irony is a better word. Yes, it is the irony of the situation.
Vampires are dangerous, in a way; werewolves are dangerous, in a way.

So yeah. Probably, everyone thinks I'm like, retarded right now... The Harry Potter freak trying to post her thoughts on something she knows very little about.... But whatever. That's the magic of writing and debating. You don't necessarily have to be right.

Oh, and the text is green and purple because of Heath Ledger's Joker in The Dark Knight. Best movie ever... Go see it. It will not disappoint. And you know it'll be awesome because it's a comic book movie. Look at Superman! Spiderman! And even Watchmen! Which hasn't come out yet, but it will! And it will kick butt! Because I read the "graphic novel" Watchmen! And it was so amazing! :D

So, really, if you want to tell me that I should not be the judge or if you want to talk about how awesome comic books, HTML, David Tennant, Hugh Jackman, Aaron Eckhart, Heath Ledger, screenplay writing, cookies, Lucky Charms, Doctor Who, scottish accents, iPod Touches, Harry Potter, Christopher Nolan, The Shins, folk music, alternative music, candy apples, caramel, panache, Heath Ledger hats, and reading and writing in general is, drop me a line on here or text me if you are priveleged enough to know my number. That's right, I'm just that cool. :D

And perhaps the quickest response ever by rose...

That was not about you, but about werewolves. No offense on a personal level. And maybe you have changed your mind, now. But true 180 degree turnarounds are rare, and after just a few months, do you really believe that the werewolves are that much better? (i have some strategy too, my friend. granted, it is not quite as beastly as turning your text purple, but still...)

And, again, you proved my point. Many people hate Jacob after coming off New Moon. Hmm... I wonder why. *evil laugh* After a book filled with Jacob, most people see why werewolves are bad.

As for Breaking Dawn and Eclipse, I will give you Seth. He is good, however, he loves the vampires DESPITE what they are, as he is still a younger vampire and has not been raised in an ANTI VAMPIRE background.

Another thought... the "space heater" was trying to tear Bella away from the one thing that kept her alive and sane. And he knew what would happen if Edward went away. He was there, remember? He isn't half as noble as Edward, but instead he is selfish and wants Bella for himself, despite the fact that he knows her answer. He has a history of kissing her against her will, trying to convince her that she loves him and not Edward, and exposing her to many dangerous activities, such as cliff-diving, motorcycles, and young werewolves. Not very smart of him.

roseKNOWS (haha it rhymes! beat that!)

werewolvesAREbad

Er. Yeah. Um, no you don't.

And that title my friends is my long due response to Erin's post. Oh, and why would I delete the conversation post anyway, it was like the highlight of my eighth grade year! :)

May I begin with this statement:

Minds are subject to change (much like weather) and mine has. Is that really such a hard concept to grasp. I mean, come on, that was April and this is October.

And now I continue by saying:

Edward has also changed his mind about werewolves! (Seth, anybody???) Perhaps Erin, you recall that when I made that statement I hadn't read Eclipse. My opinions were not yet fully formed! In addition to this, Breaking Dawn nor the special edition Eclipse with the first chapter were released. Breaking Dawn brought Jacob and his pack (including Sam's pack) into a whole new light. He isn't a bad guy. Would a "bad guy" serve as a much needed "space heater", braving the vampire smell that is so putrid to him might I add, for Bella's sake. Sure, he was thinking some, er, questionable thoughts, but show me one teenage guy, or any guy for that matter, who wouldn't do the same thing if he was sharing a sleeping bag with a beautiful girl that the loves. Are we now judging Jacob for being normal???

As for my rather obnoxious statement "BOO JACOB BLACK I HATE YOU WITH THE PASSION OF 1,000 SUNS!" well, I was just coming off of reading New Moon. How could I not feel this way?? And when did this debate become about me? This debate is about the werewolves. When you want to continue with that, just let me know and I will be more than happy to talk.

Until next time,
always
aliceCULLEN

And Finally, Rose Returns...

I have returned! And before Anna slaughters me with a pen (haha anna penphobia) I shall blog.

So. Werewolves. What more to say. We've covered quite a bit of notes on this. (anna turned it purple! strategy my friend, strategy...) I must wonder what type of strategy this is. I mean really? Am I going to start quivering under my seat because you turned the text purple? Anyhow. Back to the real debate here.

Before I continue, I would like to point out something that Anna herself said. Please check our post, "Ze Longest Conversation Ever" and scroll down to the discussion on werewolves. Anna asks, "What's so great about werewolves anyway? All they've got are constant fevers and nasty tempers!" And no Anna, you can't delete the post, as it is the whole reason we started this blog.

Now to be proactive and keep Anna from poking wholes through my arguement, I replied, "I don't know. They saved Bella from Laurent????" And no, this is not defending werewolves, as it was Bella's own fault that she was in that position in the first place. "Ok, so they did one cool thing for her but "bloodsuckers" is too offensive. And he told about the motorcycles!" Anna notes. Which, my friends, is exactly what I was saying in my debate. So Anna, you see, I do believe I have the upper hand currently. You may have all your little thoughts on how Jacob completes her life, but you have yourself agreeing with me. And the best part? It's still on our blog for viewers to see, and if you delete it it makes you look like a cheater. Wasn't I so smart to look back on our archives? ;-)

Now I believe that this is all I truly need to say on the matter. I already covered the other reasons why I am anti-werewolf in this debate. Until we begin our mindless debating, I rest my case.

And so I return with a stonger rebuttal than ever!

In response to Erin's post I have these things to say (they are in chronological order parallel to her paragraphs in the post):


Um, excuse me, is New Moon not about how Jacob the werewolf helps Bella patch her life back together or am I just completely crazy? First of all, Edward DID NOT leave because of the werewolves. He left, however foolish his decision might have been, because he thought that it would be the best thing for Bella. Not because young werewolves were running rampant all over Forks! As for Jacob assisting Bella in doing dangerous things it was understandable AND acceptable! For one, he is just a normal teenage boy who knows no better - can we blame someone for something they are totally ignorant of - I think not. Two, if this were Emmett assisting Bella, no one would blame him, they would probably recruit Rosalie to help build the bikes, and it would be one big happy family that no one would think anything of. Three, Jacob is nearly the vampires equal in strength, he is smart enough to help Bella when she needs it, is a good teacher, and most importantly, has full-time access to a community of help! Dispute that Erin! By the way, Edward calls Jacob "dog", how is that different than Jacob calling Edward "bloodsucker" ?


The events that had potential to occur in Breaking Dawn DID NOT HAPPEN! Yes, they were going to go to the Cullen mansion with the idea to get rid of Bella/the Cullens, however the objectivity on Sam's and Jacob's part prevented this occurrence. Um, compassion anyone? Crisis avoided. They were able to think level-headedly and work out the situation with no one for the worse. Sure, imprinting can hurt, but think how many more people have been affected in a positive way. Emily, though disfigured, has never been more in love. Claire, the two-year-old could never have asked for better protection or love. And Renesmee is lucky enough to be able to spend all of eternity with the one she loves.


The people of Forks are really only scared of the idea something dangerous lurking in the shadows. And anyway, the thing that they were scared of turned out to be Victoria anyway. (thank goodness she's gone!) I will say it again, the werewolves are protectors not big, scary monsters!


Jacob is da bomb and you know it!
(I still want an Edward though!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
aliceCULLEN

And the other side speaks!

So we have a fair, but perhaps not too strong (luv u anna!) argument in favor of werewolves. But did anybody read New Moon? We have Edward, who is forced to leave when he thinks the situation is out of hand. And then we have Jacob, who assists Bella in her attempt to do dangerous things, tries to convince Bella he is better, and calls the love of her life "bloodsucker." Can we just say obnoxious.

But of course, that isn't all. In Breaking Dawn the pack decides to attack Bella just because they think she is a danger. Just because we can sympthize doesn't mean that this is the right thing for them to do. And the whole imprinting thing? Think of how many people it has hurt. Leah, for example. While she is a werewolf by the end, think of the torture. And Emily's face, because Sam has bad self control. Think of Jake, before he imprinted. The families around the imprinted one are sick of the 1 track mind. The people imprinted on may be alright with it, but what happens if that spark goes away for them? Then they'd just have a stalkerish werewolf hanging around, creeping everyone out. The parents of the people imprinted on can't be crazy about the choices by their children. Can you imagine having your 3-year-old being watched that closely by someone who looks like he's in his mid-late 20s? You'd get a restraining order in nothing flat.

Even if Jacob wasn't a jerk, and the whole imprinting thing wasn't like having a wolfy stalker, there are many other reasons that werewolves are bad. Take, for example, the beginning of New Moon, where Jacob thinks that the teenagers have joined a creepy cult. The town doesn't know what to make of this super strong connection between the teens... Embry's parents get mad at him all the time. And you have to admit, you can totally see where they get that idea. Hmmm... now we have evidence that the townspeople are frightened by the presence. And they scare of hikers/tourists that promote the economy of the small town.

Voila! A plethora of evidence that screams NO WEREWOLVES! What do you think?

roseROX

As far as I can see....

As far as I can see, the whole high school thing is overrated. It's basically a lot of homework with a little drama on the side and hardly and time for *sniff* blogging. So, I decided, to heck with it, I am going to blog any way.

NOW... As was promised, Rose and I will begin our debates about werewolves (or shall we call them shape-shifters? hmmm.... I suppose we will have to settle that later). Today I Alice, will give my opening statement. FYI I am pro-werewolf/shapeshifter and Rose is con.

OPENING STATEMENT:

The bloodline that ultimately led up to Jacob Black and the pack that he considers himself a part of (we are talking of course, pre-BD currently) started with his great-grandfather Ephraim Black. As far back as I, the Cullens, and the communities of Forks are concerned, no problems began to arise with the wolves until the (non-veg) vampires showed up. Even then, the werewolves were only acting as a defense force for the mortals in the Olympic area. They call themselves protectors and protecting is what they ultimately aim to do. The only things that die when they are around are the enemies.


However much Breaking Dawn gave its readers the idea that werewolves in Sam's pack are murders, we must stop and think about the reasons and utter humanness and compassion shown on Sam's part. He only thought of his pack's and the community's safety. Does Bella not also feel vengeful and want to murder Mike or Jacob for example? And yet we do not condemn her for these feelings. On the contrary, we encourage them, telling her to be as human as possible. Is Edward one to overreact strongly? Wanting to kill Jacob for kissing Bella - a situation countless human women have been in, and yet none of their boyfriends feel like wringing the life out of someone with their bare hand. Yet, if I were to say anything negative about Edward in public, I wouldn't put it past every teenage girl in the room to attack me in various ways. Heck, I would do the same if put in their situation.


Though it did seem likely for a while that the pack would attack Bella, did they not stop when one of their own assumed his rightful role to protect the one he loved - even the one he did not yet know he loved. The answer is yes, they did stop. They acted compassionately. The werewolves are not bad. This proves it. Sam's pack outnumbered Jacobs in numerous ways, and yet they prefered to settle their differences with words. THEY DID NOT ATTACK!!
However much the violent nature that young werewolves live with is a part of their actual personalities is debatable. And that is exactly what I am here to do. Jacob is, and continues to be, the living proof that werewolves can coexist with vampires and still do their part as protectors in the community. They can do it. Werewolves are not a bad thing.

As always, I love you guys, our readers are the best,
forever, aliceCULLEN

At the stroke of twelve...

No, this is not some creepy horror story. I am talking about the Twilight Party!!!! I have pics and will post them on the side bar when they are uploaded on the computer but for now I shall recount the events of the party.

I got all dressed up and went with my dance friend Presley. We started with the trivia, and following that I entered the costume contest (no, i didn't win :-/ ) and we got bite marks painted on. Then we took a "prom photo" and got our fortunes told. Nothing exciting there. Finally I made a "Jacob bracelet" which is not actually a wolf but a gray lion (I could have had a green hippo instead) and a lot of beads.

Then we waited around for like an hour and a half for the book. And, as they say, the rest is history!!

luv, roseCULLEN

Ahhhh....fan fiction.

As mentioned before. I am spending my summer mostly reading fan fiction from the Twilight canon. I don't know if you people are as bored as I am, but I thought I would share the love and share my favorite sites and stories.

BUT! Before I do this, I thought that we should review our fan fiction vocabulary words:

In-Canon, or Canon: Stories that follow the plot line of the original text and do not go beyond what has been written. The world according to the original author

eg: CANNOT be things like "Edward Changes Bella Into A Vampire" or "Edward and Bella's Wedding Day" UNTIL those things ACTUALLY HAPPEN. However, they CAN be things such as missing moment, other characters point's of view, art, or really anything that is in the stories.

Alternate Universe (a.k.a. AU): fan fiction in which one key detail in the story has been changed to ultimatly change the entire outcome. These stories are non-canon.

eg: Bella loves Mike, Edward never comes back, etc.

Crossovers: When characters or the story line from another series or story are/is integrated in the one you are writing.

eg: Mr. Varner is actually Snape from Harry Potter and teaches Edward and Bella how to make potions instead of Trig and Calculas.

EGADS! IT HAS BEEN DONE!

ANNA FOUND IT! BELLA'S MERCEDES GAURDIAN! (you've read the first chapter of Breaking Dawn right??) ;)

This was actually surprisingly hard to find because you have to search it by the model name first, so people, ya, I love you that much.

OH! And yes, the book was right. They did take a flame thrower to it. Hehe. Alice likes.

ahh...pretty car.

Love, aliceCULLEN

Rosalie and her amazing plans for buying Breaking Dawn

So. Alice will kill me. But, just to let you all know, I am going to a "Prom Party" for Breaking Dawn from 10 until 12 with one of my dance friends at Barnes and Noble on the first.

I am super excited! So, anyways, had to tell you because this is a blog dedicated to it, so yeah.

later,
roseCULLEN

And so summer drones on...

Don't worry. Rose and I are planning spectacular things. Truely. But, for now, I am contenting myself with things that probably show you just how lame my life is currently. But enough of this talk. Check out the new pics on the sidebar. And I am in the process of posting a list of Steph's Breaking Dawn Quotes of the Day. Or you can just visit http://www.stepheniemeyer.com and see them daily. Anyway, I am off to read more fan fics....wow. I'm cool.

I thought you might enjoy these pictures!




YAY! THE CULLENS!



On the left is my current desktop background. The one on the right is just something I made on Paint when I was bored one day.




Look what Alice drew! Betcha didn't know I could do that?!?! Did You?

(Disclaimer: I do not take credit for the originals of any of this. Names and original photographs belong to Stephenie Meyer. I simply replicate them for my own amusement. Please don't sue me.)

Love forever!
aliceCULLEN

Meet And Greet!

I do certainly think it is about time for anyone who doesn't know us but reads this blog to get to know us.


Here we are:



Dani (on the right): the ever-beastly techie to whom I owe much. Including the fabulous blog layout.



Anna: I assume the position of Alice! Oh, how I adore Alice...



Erin (middle): She assumes the position of Rose, which if you base it on hair color, seems kind of backwards...anyway, there is Dani again on her right.

That's us folks,
happy 4th!
aliceCULLEN

OH SIR! HAPPY NEWS INDEED!

And finally, we bring to you, The Amazing Alice Cullen!

Ah Alice.

Mary Alice Brandon, as she was known in her human life, has a vague history. It is known that her character was born in 1901 in Biloxi, Mississippi. Her human life was spent in an assylum because of her premonitions, that later intensified into visions in her vampire life. Similar to Bella (see earlier blog), Alice was the only other of Jame's victims that escaped. She was changed into a vampire by another of the kind that was working at the assylum that she was commited at. He did so to save her from the cruel death that James, the tracker, would have given her.

Alice's visions were, in a way, her saviors. Without them, it is likely she would have turned into a complete savage, seeing as the vampire who changed her fled as soon as the transformation was complete. Without her visions she would have never seen that she was destined to meet Dr. Carlisle Cullen (again, see earlier post) and Jasper (and again). However, Alice is limited with her gift. She can only see outcomes once a decision has been made.

Jasper Cullen is Alice's soul mate. They are the reason for each other's existance. They joined Carlisle's coven in the 1950's and have been there ever since, under the pretense that they are his children, though physically, Alice is 19 and is entirely to old to be and adopted child.

Well, I am off to engage in scintillating discourse about future blog ideas with Rose,
Alice Rules,
You know It,
Lots of Love,
aliceCULLEN

Aw Shucks....

May I point out that Gimme Some Twilight has a beastly and amazing techie who I must thank first, before I begin my spiel about the amazing Alice Cullen!

Merci, mon amie! Je t'aime! (in a friend kind of way)

The blog is pimp.

And Dani comes to the rescue!

Dani wants to help all the devoted Twilight fans that read this blog.
But first, she wonders why no one on this blog bothered to look up Twilight fan sites.
*sighs deeply* Must I always take matters into my own hands?

Everyone has heard of Mugglenet fan fiction and Veritaserum fan fiction, and overall just Harry Potter fan fiction. But what about Twilight fan fiction?

And here are just other links for good fan sites, some about Alice, some about Edward, some about Bella and Edward.

Oh, and here's a podcast about Twilight called "Bite Me."

http://bitemeatwilightpodcast.blogspot.com/


See, Dani can be helpful and be nice about Twilight at the same time.
Heck, it's not Harry Potter, but she's not complaining. You guys listen to Dani rant about the latest Harry Potter news, and now she can listen to you rant about the latest Twilight news and check the sites every hour on the hour like I do with The Leaky Cauldron.

And, who won't be excited about Twilight fan fiction? You guys can post them on your blog or something! Woot.

- The beastly HTML techie who's current occupation is to watch "Titanic" without getting a lump in her throat.... Just kidding.
- Dani

And finally we have Rosalie...

One note before we start:
Alice has made her corrections to my predictions, and some I must admit seem more logical, however I must say that I will wait for the book to come out before I can be sure about this. Oh and I can promise you I will have it the day it comes out. I might even have it before you guys do! I'm very excited.

Now back to Rosalie. To those of you that have read the books in detail, well, we all know her story. The beauty who seemed to have it all. The engagement to Mr. Prince. The drunken husband and friends doing dishonorable things to her on a darkened street. Carlisle rescuing her. Saving Emmett from a bear attack by running him many miles to Carlisle. Romance. Narcism. Jealousy. Beauty. Her story in a nutshell.

But thats not very exciting now is it? We all know Rosalie is the only one that wanted Bella to have a choice to remain human. But I guess what we should talk about now is why. In her own words, she comments that she wishes someone was there to vote for her to stay human. But Bella doesn't understand why (Actually, there are a lot of things that Bella doesn't understand, but we shall overlook those for the time being.) But Rosalie was pretty. She had plans outside of being a supermodel-gorgeous vegetarian vampire. She wanted to get married and have kids. She was about to get married to royalty. In short, she got precisely what she wanted.

Mr. Prince ruined that when he got drunk. Rosalie was nearly dead. She became a bloodthirsty not-quite alive vampire. If she had had Bella's choice, she would have stayed human. I mean, besides Bella, (who as we have already pointed out, is not the sharpest knife in the drawer) who really plans to spend the rest of eternity as a, for lack of a better term, bloodsucker? Certainly not Rosalie.

Which brings us back to this:
She says she is jealous of Bella. Bella gets Edward's attention, has the Cullens tripping over themselves to save her, and puts all of the Cullens in danger at one point or another from bleeding, standing near them or just being a danger magnet. But are these the real reasons Rose appears to hate Bella at the beginning? Or could it simply be that Bella's heart is still beating?

Just something to think about.

Peace,
rosalieCULLENforever

just so you know....

As an aside from our character bio's, I would like to disagree with some of Rosalie's predictions.

Let us first take a look at this one:

1. Jacob Black will die - I disagree. I believe that Jacob's love for Bella and for her safety will overcome his obligation to the treaty. I do think, as well, that his design in going so far away and letting his instincts take over was to try to disconnect himself as much as he could from his pack and all that is to happen in Forks. Therefore, I predict that Jacob will not die, but will be in such emotional pain over Bella's transformation, that he wishes he would have, though he will do nothing about it.
2. 
   Emmett will get seriously hurt - I disagree with this as well. The reason being his strength. I do believe that someone will get hurt, but I think it will be one of the Quileute pack. Maybe the relationship that budded between Seth and Edward has something to do with it...Perhaps, the war will break out, BUT, Seth will get hurt and since he is Edward's friend as well, they will band together and forget the conflict temporarily until a time upon which it can be settled.

There you go. That's what I think for Breaking Dawn. And we already know that Edward and Bella are getting married ASAP because Alice was only given till August 13. AND Anna know because she has the special edition Eclipse...there was only like 4 days till the wedding in the first chapter!

I have forseen! -aliceCULLEN

My Good Friend Eduardo

First of all I have to tell you a little something... THE SPECIAL EDITION ECLIPSE IS AMAZING! THE COVER IS GORGEOUS! I LOVE THE FIRST CHAPTER! I LOVE STEPHENIE MEYER! no seriously, it is worth buying because it is beastly and amazing!

Ok good fans of all things Stephenie Meyer, the long awaited Edward Cullen part of this whole little fun character biography thing has now arrived. Like when you see the signs at the airport that say stuff like: San Diego -- Arrived. But take San Diego and put Edward in. Get It??? good.

So, Edward.

I suppose I should start with the human Eddie-boy. ~~~

Edward Anthony Mason was born on June 20, 1901 to Edward Senior and Elizabeth Mason. His parents unfortunatly contracted and died from the Spanish Influenza when an epidemic swept Chicago, Illinois in 1918. Edward, while contracted the disease, did not die from it. He was saved by his mother's will and the hands of his careful physician, Dr. Carlisle Cullen.

Dr. Carlisle Cullen changed Edward into a vampire after agreeing to Edward's mother's one last wish; "save him." Edward was the first addtion to the coven of vampires started by Carlisle. At first, he pretended to be the brother of his adoptive father. The ever-17-year-old's adoptive family now includes Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Carlisle, and Esme.

Then Edward found Bella.

Boy meets girl. Girl likes boy. Boy and Girl fall in love. Ok, well really, their relationship isn't that simple. You see, kiddies, Bella's blood attracts Edward in a way that is new and amazing to him. Her blood, really this is the best way to describe it (thank you Stephenie Meyer!), "sings" to Edward. Because of trial and error and splendor and tenderness and love that in their relationship they are held fimly together in this life and many lifetimes to come; nothing in the world can separate them. Not even death.

Against Edward's better judgement, he agreed to turn Bella into a vampire. This, of course, would allow them to be together forever, for sure. Because Edward is not completely sold on the idea that he contains a soul. He could never be where Bella is not. And as far as I am concerned, if Stephenie Meyer decides to split them up in Breaking Dawn, I am going to cry and be inconsolabe.

loveYOUforever

"I have chosen you and will not throw you away." -Isaiah 41:9b

OMG!!!! GUESS WHO? ITS....

EDWARD CULLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats right ladies. He's finally here. The one we've all been waiting for.

So lets start.

I shall leave history and analysis to our good friend alice. After all, it is a lot more fun for myself to predict, as I can't actually see the future.

So. Our adorable friend Edward.

Although we will know a lot more about him when Midnight Sun comes out, it is time to stop stalling and begin discussing the future for the character we all love.

Hopefully Bella and he will get married ASAP. Then of course conflict in the form of W-E-R-E-W-O-L-F will come along, vampires and werewolves *shudder* will fight it out. Here is where it gets fuzzy... my guess? I think Cullens will triumph, but not without some casualties. Sorry fans, but I think that Jake, another werewolf, and perhaps... Emmett? will be hurt, perhaps seriously. Not that this is absolutely true, just my thought. Emmett will barely make it, Jacob I think will die, and the other werewolf will be killed instantly. Bella will be very upset (no duh) and Edward will win her over in the end, and they are happy together. Voila. Rosalie's predictions come to breaking dawn. I shall have to wait for accuracy, but what do my other members of the panel think? Do tell.

Here She Comes! Miss Twilight America! Ladies and Gentlemen It's Bella Swan!

Oh Bella. Bells. Bellaroo. Liberty-Bella. Ring-a-Bella. Church-Bella. Little-Bella. Big-Bella. Bella, Bella, Bella.

Oh where to start? I assume it would be appreciated if I simply started from the beginning like Julie Andrews told the Von Trapp children oh-so-many years ago.

So, here we go....

Isabella Marie Swan was born on September 13, 1987 in Forks, Washington to Renee and Charlie Swan. Her parent's divorce when she was only six months old led to her ending up living with her mother Renee in Pheonix, Arizonia. When she was young, Bella visited Charlie, but eventually put an end to those visits. At her school in Pheonix, Bella never fit in. It is also known that Bella used to take ballet lessons at a studio near her house.

Upon her mother's marriage to Phil Dwyer, a minor league baseball player, Bella decided to move to Forks to live with her father Charlie. In Forks, Bella begins life in her new home and makes some very interesting new friendships.

At Forks High, Bella meets Edward Cullen. She befriends him and his sister Alice and brother Emmett. She soon found herself falling in love with Edward and he with her. This relationship, however, is more difficult than any the world has ever seen, really. You see, Edward and all the rest of the Cullens are vampires. But no ordinary vampires; they obstain from drinking human blood. This is what makes the relationship between Bella and Edward especially challenging. As it is, Bella's blood "sings" to Edward and he wants it like nothing he has ever wanted before, but he resists.

Bella, on the other hand, would like nothing more than to join Edward's family so that she can be with him forever. All she has to do is marry Edward and he will do it for her, otherwise, she must settle for Carlisle (see below story) Edward's father to do it instead. Bella decided to marry Edward. Their wedding is planned for the late summer and the next book.

OH MY GOSH I CANNOT WAIT FOR BREAKING DAWN TO SEE THE WEDDING!!!!!!

Love always,

aliceCULLEN

Jasper Hale *places band-aid over papercut nervously*

Before we talk about Jasper, a brief note to our beastly techie...




No we won't delete it! (At least, not NOW!) However, while Harry Potter is good, we don't appreciate your dissing of Twilight. You just have bad taste in vampires. (Edward not hot? *gasp!*) SO, ANYWAYS, I will leave it on for now. And I will see what Anna thinks about KEEPING it on.

Brief note: It got deleted.




Back to Jasper.



hahahahahahah! i made ur blog PINK erin! cheya.

look at the label!


Thank you Alice (Anna).



Again, back to Jasper.


Background: He was in the Army during the Civil war. He met several female vampires, and one, Maria, changed him into a vampire. He fought other vampires for control of Me-he-co, thus obtaining many cresent shaped scars all over his body.

He has a really sweet power (guess who would want it!). He can make people feel different emotions. Pretty cool, right?

Alice is his soulmate (Sorry Anna, will have to wait. So will that track wedding). She saw him coming and waited for him, and led him to the Cullens.

So yeah. I think he will kind of be in the background, as a brother, perhaps, in the last book. He took his bit of fame in #3, and so my predictions (not being Alice, they may be inaccurate!) are for him to just be there, and while he will have a part, it will be pretty small.

By the way, Alice will no longer kill me... I finally blogged! *cheering and clapping*

Anyways.

rosalieCULLEN 4ever!

Carlisle (my children this is pro-NouNCED CAR-lye-al NOT CAR-lye-SAL) *shakes head and sighs*

OH HERE IT GOES, HERE IT GOES, HERE IT GOES AGAIN! OH HERE IT GOES AGAIN!

*clears throat*

Now, as it has been said, this month we are doing character stuff. And things. And more stuff. And then more things.
I decided that Carlisle must have his time to shine. As we all should. Yes. Even you.

SOOOOOOO.......

10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...CARLISLE:


Carlisle Cullen's story begins in London, England in 1640. He was born into a period of religious unrest. His father was and Angelican pastor who led hunts. In other words, he led hunts for werewolves (ugh. jacob), witches, and vampires. His father believed that this was the only way to rid the world completely of evil and sin. Unforturnaty, often times the killed only innocent citizens who knew nothing of witches or that sort of thing. When Carlisle's father aged, Carlisle was put in charge of these raids, though he disliked them, and was cunning enough to actually locate a coven of vampires in the sewers beneath London.

(HERE IS WHERE IT GETS REAL GOOD! WOO!)

The raid to attack these vampires led to utter chaos and ultimatly led to the biting by a vampire on Carlisle. Knowing he would be unwelcome at home, he hid in a potatoe sack, and, amazingly, was able to remain quiet during his painful three day transformation. Carlisle, disgusted and horrified with himself, his lust for blood, and what he had become, decided to hide out in a cave. He resisted the urge to drink human blood, and discovered that animal blood would suffice, although lacking in the amount of strength it provided him.

This new life came only after Carlisle was forced to accept what he had become (as much as any of them can anyway). Let us not think that he did not try to rid himself of the world.

He ended up as Dr. Cullen by meticulously studing medicine at night (over two centuries dearies), earning himself the nickname "nighttime patron of the arts". Carlisle first encoutered the Volturri while he was abroad in Italy. As much as they try to persuade him otherwise of his new lifestyle, and he them, they parted on good terms as much the same as ever.

Carlisle decided he would at least try to do some good and only save people. His coven now includes Edward, Esme (see below story), Rosalie , Emmett (see below story), and Alice and Jasper.

Let us all learn from Mr. Cullen and realize that even people who are supposed to be monsters can do some good in this world.

Edward rules,

aliceCULLEN

Who wants to Arm Wrestle (A.K.A. Emmett Cullen)

Well.

Emmett Cullen.

The Strong One.

(OK enough enters stop procrastinating rose!)

His life as a vampire began when he was mauled by a bear back in the deep woods of Tenessee. Rose *smiles and waves* found him and ran him back to Carlisle, who changed him.

Emmett is strong but lovable. His true love is Rose *sighs because of the cute actor for the movie*. His mind is described as "a clear blue lake" and he has no secrets. He loves Bella in a brotherly way and is very amused when she trips and causes accidents. For food, he prefers bear.

Emmett is a pretty cool guy. The actor who plays him is awesome and pretty cute at that, and everyone loves Emmett in general. For future, we predict a brotherly love for Bella and strength that helps them in whoever they may fight in Breaking Dawn.

luv,
rosalieCULLEN

Jacob Black (jAY- kOb bl-AH-k) *dramatic music*

Well Well, Jacob Black. Just your typical, everyday, reservation-living, vampire-hating, big and furry werewolf. However, my friends, we are about to begin our jouney as we delve deeper and deeper into the fascinating mind of this ever-16-year-old boy.

Fasten your seatbelts were are now preparing for takeoff.

IN the words of Julie Andrews, let's start at the very beginning. A very good place to start :

Jacob Black is part of the old and loveable Quileuete Tribe. His father Billy Black is practically family to Bella and Charlie Swan, therefore making Jacob an automatic part of Bella's life. Jacob has been taught the history and the many legends of his tribe and knows the stories of the ones that they call The Cold Ones, or as he prefers to referance them as, "Bloodsuckers." These bloodsuckers of course, we all know and love as the Cullens. NOW, as Jacob grows older he starts to go through some not-quite normal changes for a sixteen-year-old boy. For example, I don't believe I know any boys that can change into a reddish-brown werewolf at will, belong to a pack who share their innermost secrets unwillingly, or that can heal at incredible speed. By the age of 16, Jacob's body had matured to adulthood, though he will never grow older.

All that aside, the most important change to the way Jacob lives his life is that he is now a werewolf. This means that it is now his job, along with his pack (Sam, Quil, Embry, Jared, Paul, Seth, and Leah- I think that is all of them) to protect their reservation lands and the people within them and make sure that the Treaty is honored. The treaty I speak of is the one that the Cullens made with the Quileuetes that says if they do not bite a human then they can coexist peacefully with the divider of the boundry line that separates Cullens (Forks) and Quileuetes (La Push). If the treaty is not honored, their fates will ultimatly end with war. It is, first and foremost, the nature of the werewolf to destroy the vampire.

Though these are all interesting, perhaps the biggest change for Jacob is that he realizes that he is in love with Bella Swan; the clumsy yet lovable mortal. THIS turns out to be a monumental problem in Jacob's life. You see, Bella and Edward (Cullen) are deeply entwined in their own relationship and will allow nothing to drive a wedge between them. Jacob, having declared his love to Bella, is crushed when he learns of Bella and Edward's engagement. His future is henceforth left to Stephenie Meyer and whatever kind of magic she dreams up for Breaking Dawn.

to blog is to live -aliceCULLEN

Ees-me (Laurel, we luv you, but seriously!!!)

So.

Alice said I should post about something. So today in science I decided to a character analysis of ESME. Because who better to start with then the mom, right?!

Esme. *clears throat and looks at thick packet in front of her*

Before Carlisle, her life kind of sucked. At 22 she married an abusive husband, got pregnant, ran away, and had a son that died later of lung problems. You probably would commit suicide too if you had those issues!!!

She was a schoolteacher and always loved kids, part of the reason she makes the perfect motherly figure for the vampire family... and of course, she's just kind of awesome like that.

She met Carlisle at age 16 when she broke her foot climbing a tree. He recognized and changed her when he found her still alive after a suicide attempt.

They got married and (sort of) lived happily forever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and EVER!!!!!!


Esme is totally one of the nicest vampires *undead* (I mean, they're not alive, and they're not dead, so....?) and a fantastic mother. Her motto of *play fair* seems necessary with her sort-of lifestyle (it's not really life).

So... ESME IS AWESOME AND YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS FACT!!!!!

And now you know a lot more about her, which is always good, especially if she is Bella's mother in Breaking Dawn (we are crossing our fingers!).

Anyways.

rosalieCULLENforever!!!

Annabel Lee

Maybe you know, maybe you don't. There is a poem by Edgar Allen Poe called Annabel Lee, and today when I was on Google searching for monologues (yeah. acting is pretty much the bomb) it came up. Well, I read it because I remember a teacher reading it once and me thinking that it was such a pretty poem. But, today, I realized that this is completely Edward and Bella set to a poem. Only Edward is the narrator, Bella is Annabel Lee, and the kingdom by the sea is Forks...
HERE IT IS:

ANNABEL LEE

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know,
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In a kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of those who were wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Could ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of my beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling-my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
-Edgar Allen Poe

Geez. I think its kinda creepy how even the "chilling and killing" thing fits in. Well, that's all for now folks, ta-ta!

Ze LoNgEsT cOnVeRsAtIoN eVa! But read it cuz it's funny...

Okay. So both of would pretty much kill to get our hands on a copy of Breaking Dawn, but for now we just have to take what we can get. So children, we love you enough that we spent a good five hours over the course of like three days writing notes to each other about the books when we were supposed to be paying attention in class. BEWARE! IF YOU HAVEN'T READ ALL THREE RELEASED BOOKS THIS IS LITTERED WITH SPOILERS! The blue is me talking and the the green is Erin. Oh! When this conversation started I hadn't read all of the series yet, so if something about pen-phobia comes up it is because I threatened to murder Erin with my pen in French if she let anything slip about Eclipse.





ENJOY!





Bonjour! C'est le conversation en francais! (BAM! BEHOLD THE FRONTIER! THE CONVERSATION BEGINS IN FRENCH! WOO!):




Edward!! *sigh*

Yeah… he’s so hot! (James is pretty cute too though… moving right along…) The actor is not very hot though… I mean… CEDRIC DIGGORY? ARE U KIDDING ME?!

Boo Ced!

He was supposed to be hot in HP too, but he isn’t.

I was thinking… Edward said that only a vampire could kill another vampire… and I know Jacob said it was a werewolf’s nature… but I still don’t get how that works. OH and don’t you think it’s weird that Edward is like deathly cold and Jacob is constantly running a fever? AHH!

Well they are polar opposites so that’s my thought… I think the other answer is they are made to kill vampires. *Edward*

Still though, it just goes against everything Edward said. *sigh* Oh, I asked my brother and a Porsche 911 Turbo turns out to be VERY fast!

duh! I saw a pic of it online… really cool. probably lots of $$ too, but u know…

man. I was SAD when Edward was going to ask the Volturi to kill him *sob* but it was so cute when he never let go of her! AND HE PROPOSED! I wonder why Bella is hesitant to accept… Do you think it’s because she’s afraid he’ll leave

No think about Charlie/renee

Yeah but I would think her love for Edward and her desire to become a vampire is stronger.

I refuse to answer this for my new-found pen-phobia.

umm that would be a good reason…

yeah. who would you want to be (besides bella!) I want to be alice!

oh me too!

but rose is pretty… too shallow though

ya and she used to be mean.

she almost made him die *gasp of horror*

OK well she should feel bad about that but I guess she had a legitimate reason

true other side still she’s gorgeous!

go-geous! her dress for prom sounded umm… interesting though

Alice’s too. (drawing) It’s like, all cut out

no in the book it said it was more like (drawing)

(goes back and underlines Alice) that one was alice’s. I’m sure they’re, well, “hot” enough to pull it off…

OK well still stilettos alice? hobbling much?

I know not the smartest. they were just having some “human” fun… it was funny they had a part online where they made Jasper blow-dry Bella’s hair…

Oh sure lets all blow the scent of Bella around 6 hungry vampires SMAAART!

I know But it wasn’t Edward at least… he would have gotten all black-eyed and attacked her!

Potentially problematic… but then again he handled himself in Volturi VERY
well... so maybe he would be Ok... he sounds like a good kisser doesn't he?

Yeah pretty much he must be so hot! OMG! anyways... it would be so cool to have his "power"...
read people's minds

Well actually i don't know because i think people's thoughts should be left alone... but yeah it could be cool. Honestly i'd rather have Alice's or Jasper's talent.

true wonder if bella will end up w/a talent... COOL!!!

ya like reflecting powers back on them

or jasper... make him calm or feel drowsy... he just falls asleep...

ya or less thirsty...

that's cool he wouldn't kill her as easily

always good... Jane is scary!

yeah unless you're bella then not so bad

how so?

jane no hurt her

Oh DUH! it is so sweet that Edward threw himself in the way but i hought he was, like, dying the first time i read it. i think i read the last like 5 chapters 20 times this weekend

he didn't have to... it doesn't hurt her.

but he didn't know so it was so sweet!

i know! the whole thing is sweet... very romeo-like.

This conversation is from when we were supposed to be paying attention about water and other useless things in science:





EDWARD :)

*gasp*

*sighs and faints*

*thump* (that was me falling)

Oh- like when Bella fell and then Edward left!

*sob* He left!

Have you ever wondered why they don't just call him Ed? I mean, they call rosalie, rose.

Yeah, then they would be Ed, Es, Em, Car, Jas, Rose, and Al.

Well, they call Jacob, Jake too. I mean, Edward really is a lot of consonants!

True, but Edward sounds better than Ed.

Yes, much hotter, I agree. Edward...

*ow ow* (read that last part out loud)

You know, if Carlisle is going to change her anyway, she might as well just marry Edward. I mean, she obviously is madly in love with him.

Well, but she wants Edward to do it. Wouldn't you?

Yeah, she said she would trade anything for that. Frankly, I don't blame her.

Again, wouldn't you?

Well, if she marries him, he'll do it anyway.

True, but i now have pen-phobia again.

Dang! Annie really needs to read faster now!

I know! her and Laurel read like snails!

Seriously!

I waited SO LONG for New Moon! I finally got it from Cydne instead!

EDWARD! *sigh* I couldn't believe that Alice offered to change Bella!

I know - so cool! She saw it already though so she might as well make it happen.

Thing is, if I were Bella and Edward was foing to change me, I would be afraid of him getting carried away because I was so...er...delicious.

He wouldn't. He didn't in Twilight.

Still, he was saving, not changing her. Who knows what could happen if that went on for much longer.

He didn't even want her changed.

Heh, not like he has much say there.

VOTE!

I didn't think Carlisle would be for it.

Yeah, I was surprised. Also, Rose wanted Bella for a sister?

I know, and Carlisle was all "Not unless they're dying"......hmm.....Bella fettish?

That would make Edward mad!

No, he wants her human, that inclules human death.

SAD! Bella dead=Edward dead! *sob*

Egads! What do you think he would do to get the Volturri to kill him?

Um...bite someone in a crowd at noon???

Yeah maybe......I HATE JACOB BLACK! He almost made Edward DIE!

Edward...

Edward...

*gasp* *faint* *thud*

EXACTLY! i want an edward.

I'll try for your birthday, no promises.

HAHA! Geez...how much do you think Edward bribed those colleges?

I don't know, that depends on Bella's IQ.

In that case, let's say The New Cullen Library Wing.

Hehe..."Cullen University"

teehee.


SENTANCE PATTERNS BORE US! SO WE DID THIS IN LANGUAGE ARTS!:


What do you think Carlisle and Esme would have done if Edward had lost control that first day?

Esme wasn't there. Edward was vampire #2.

NO! The first day he saw Bella!

Oh. Moved to the top of Everest or something...

Well, it certainly is lonely up there! Only thing is they might be compelled to resort to cannibalism.

True. Mountain Goats?

Nah. Too cold.

FROZEN FOOD!

Frozen mountain goats?

EWWW! They won't be selling THAT at Safeway anytime soon!

I wonder...do you think Edward can hear animal thoughts too? Mountain goats perhaps?

That would be strange. "Must eat grass...."

EDWARD *sigh*

*thud* lol

*holds head and groans*

*sees stars*

awww...remember when Edward was all- "You came across my sky and lit it up like a comet"?

new book from his point of view is called Midnight Sun. So cute!

Oh I get it!....awww!

Yeah! Cute!

Breaking Dawn?

IDK....why?

No, dAwn...not dOwn!

Oh. Right. I love Alice too!

I like her personality...always so nice. But I don't think she should have gotten Bella's hopes up by saying she would change her.

Well, it made the vote possible though.

Yeah, still it's kind of an empty promise because at the end of New Moon she says something like "I'm not ready to do that."

But still, kind of cool. Nice of her too!

And I guess it helped Bella on the plane to Italy.

Yeah, that's good.

I <3>

Same here.

How could you not? It just gets me! Don't you think it was dumb of Bella at the end of New Moon when she kept saying "Oh I'm dreaming" when she woke up and Edward was there?

I know. And Edward thought he was dead!

Yep. "Carlisle was right". HA! CAR-LIE-SAL! Oh man Laurel.

Laurel....

Oh geez...


(here we started a new page because we ran out of room so i'm talking again):


Do you think it's weired that Cullen sounds a lot like cult?

Yeah. The "bloodsucker's cult" says Jacob Black. *shudders*

BOO JACOB BLACK! I HATE YOU WITH THE FIREY PASSION OF 1,000 SUNS!

Make it a million or two!

What's so great about werewolves anyway? All they've got are constant fevers and nasty tempers!

I don't know. They saved Bella from Laurent????

Ok, so they did one cool thing for her but "bloodsuckers" is too offensive. And he told about the motorcycles!

Yeah, plus he was nearly responsible for her death. (cliff)

Well, but he saved her on the beach though.

Still, it was his fault in the first place.

:( VICTORIA :( :( :(

eww!

She should be a frozen mountain goat!

"GRASS!"


UGH! We are now in french again learning new food vocab words- tres degoutant! But why pay attention to that when we have lovely bookish things to discuss. So strap in 'cause here we go again! (by now I had started to read Eclipse)


Where are you in Eclipse?

Oh...um, beginning of chapter 2.

What's happening?

Alice, Angela, and Bella (haha alphabetical order) are planning stuff for the weekend because Bella just got un-grounded.

Oh. I see. It's really annoying how Charlie hates Edward!

I KNOW! He needs to get over himself!

And then he like, loves Jake *shudder*. Jake is worse than "Ed" is!

Yeah! I mean, Jake could at least have a positive attitude - it's not like the Cullen's don't honor the treaty.

Yeah I know. Those Cullens....they all love each other in an immortal sort of way.

mmhmm...Edward *sigh* *thumps*
*thump thump thump* (me falling down stairs) *OUCH*

Man, if your heart beats like that around Jasper you're really gonna need that band-aid!

potentially problematic.

Cheya. I would say so.

Well, if that happened to Bella she wouldn't have to marry Edward.

HUSH! DON'T SPEAK OF SUCH EVIL THINGS!

Well it's true.

But Edward and Bella are like the Romeo and Juliet of Forks! They are meant to be! Forks is in Washington right?

Yup. Upper Olympic Peninsula. Meyer said she just googled "#1 rainiest place" and it came up.

Good for Edward. Bad for hair.

Uh-huh. And make-up and prom dresses!

Stiletto and a leg boot....I'll say it again - nice Alice, nice!

Yeah, just great for Bella! Well, maybe it'll threaten her life enough that they would have to change her.

Potentially problematic as well. Good thing there wasn't a piano for her to trip over too.

That's good. No cake for her to ruin either.

Who cares about the cake??? Bella could have died!

Maybe...never mind. They can't eat the leftovers anyway. GRRR!

Mmmm....frozen mountain goat....

How exciting! They're on sale a King Soopers....YAY 50% off clearance. YAY!


(I have to explain this next part. See, our french teacher, Mrs. Huff, was talking about how we don't say "give me a butter" but "give me some butter" and then the conversation just escalated from there.)


Give Edward a butter!

ANNA! Shame on you. (Give him a milk)

BAD ERIN! (not that I disagree) ;)

Anna *ribbet* avec Edward!

Ummm...no he is Bella's.

Anna wishes.

*sighs wistfully*

No worries, same here. But we need a new page.


So now we are in science again and unfortunatly we had to cut this conversation short because Mr. McKinney caught us doing this and we were subjected to watching him have too much fun boiling water to demonstrate the water cycle. Oh joy. :


Ahhhh....look at all that pretty, new white space to obess over Edward on.

Do you think Emmett is hot? I mean, technically, he is deathly cold, but you know what I mean.

Well, maybe. He sounds scary at first, but then he gets nicer. His actor is hot though.

Yeah, he's got MUSCLES! Hmmm...works out right??? ;)

Oh gee, I don't know...HA!

Shouldn't have to anyways!

Oh baby!

ERIN *SIGH*

I wonder why Esme got such a small role in the book?

Not as important to Bella.

True, true. EASE-ME.

Oh man Laurel.


AND NOW, MY FRIENDS, THE CONVERSATION HAS COME TO IT'S CONCLUSION. IF YOU HAVE MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO THIS POINT, WE APPLAUD YOU. DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT TECH TIME WITH DANI! (IF THAT'S NOT UP YET, IT'S COMING SOON. DANI IS OUR BEASTLY TECHIE...THE AMAZINGNESS OF THE HTML IS ALL DUE TO HER MY FRIENDS!) au revoir!
