New Shirt!

So...last night I made a new twilight shirt for the movie. I know, I'm nuts. Here are the images I put on it.



Front:

And I made the apple red sparkly.

Back:

A little more plain and obvious, and not quite as fun as the OCD from last time, but I think the front of the shirt makes up for it. I will be sure to post LOTS of pictures of me and my gal pals in our shirts at our pre-party and movie night!



On another fun note, I get my hair redone tonight! So I'm going to be all dark for the movie tomorrow. So excited!

Word Verification Fun

Okay, so...no one has been commenting on my blog lately. I suppose my obsession with Twilight is old news or something... ;) So, I decided to switch it up a bit with some fun stuff.

I have been paying a lot of attention to the word verification feature here on blogger. I am sure it is just a randomization program, but some of the words it comes up with are just too fun to ignore. So here is a list of a few of my favorites -- okay more than just a few, ten -- and the definition I came up with in my head when I read them. Try it yourself! And let me know if there have been any fun word verifications that have caught your eye.

1. danish -- okay the definition to this one was obvious, but I thought it was fun that I got a real word!

2. winch -- A mix between a witch and a wench (scary indeed!)

3. extesses -- excessive extras

4. unduck -- something not duck-like. Ex. A cow is sooo unduck!

5. tagra -- And addictive drug that induces the need to tag ones friends. Found excluseively in the blogging world.

6. bergoods -- to me this sounded like a high end department store

7. slysick -- When one is sick of others who are sly

8. dialogit -- Dialoge that requires logic

9. gists -- real word...well gist is, can it be plural?

10. destiphi -- the way Gus from Cinderella would pronounce "Destiny"

My Blog

I'm having too much fun with Wordle! This is all of my blog posts in a wordle!



Can you find your name?

My Novel

So...many of you know that I have started writing a novel. I saw this really cool thing on My Favorite Author where they took the author Sarah MacLean's Wordle of her book and posted it as a teaser! It is very cool. So I thought I might try the same thing with mine...my novel is not done yet, so some things will tweak in importance before the end, I'm sure (Like the name "Ben") but here it is so far! This was so fun!


By the way, getting it to post on here was a pain, but so worth it! If you click on the image you can see it larger and read it all better! Enjoy!

One Week!

Eeek! I already have my ticket and it is one week exactly that I will be sitting in the theater ready to watch the most anticipated movie of the year. I sure hope it lives up to all this hype!
Just had to put him on here!
Um, Any questions why I am looking forward to this film so much? Because the books are awesome of course!

Here are some fun pictures of our tickets. We got tickets through someone who rented an entire theater. This was like 3 months ago that we ordered them! We ordered 24 tickets as a group! So here is the picture Jena took of all the tickets, since it was her friend we ordered from she got them all for us!


This is Jena's picture of a ticket up close. My camera kept using the flash and totally whiting mine out when I tried to get a close one. My seat is O-25.

No, I'm really not excited. Why do you ask? :P


And this is me with my ticket! I'm a tad excited! Can you tell?
