Jane Austen

I was going to put this all up on livejournal but my computer wouldn't co-operate.

That is the boxed set, viewed from the front and on my computer desk infront of the monster itself.

And viewed from the back, as you can see it has a lot of books in it!...Oh, oops, don't look at the bottom left corner...I've been messing around on photoshop again ^^

This is to show(off) the gold edged pages and pretty cover.

And this is another plus, THERE ARE PICTURES!!!! And yes, it is quite obvious now what that other book is that is lurking on the edge of the picture-

Keeheehee. I got it yesterday and I have only read 63 pages (it's 617 pages long) and when I went to the till (at Angus and Robertson) the first question that the lady asked me was not '$32.99 please' it was 'I bet you're looking forward to the release of the fourth book'...my response was automatic of course but I looked up when I walked out of the bookshop (after blushing bright red of course) and I noticed that they had a huge poster up for both Breaking Dawn and The Host. While I was at the counter the lady commented to both me and her co-worker that The Host was selling out. I can't seem to go anywhere without overhearing a conversation about Twilight.

Today

First off, I would like to start this post with a picture that I found on Twilight Australia:

I think its quite sweet :P

And for the rest of this post I will talk about my new obsession with music...and not just any music:

Tank, Farenheit, Danson Tang, Jay Chou, etc.

There is no possible way that you could scare me Sheryl, I love it! And yes, the remix is very, very catchy!!!!

I have submitted 430 signed reviews on my ff.net account and there has been 1042 hits on my profile page ^^ (I guess the really like to pull their guns out and take shots at my profile :P) If I favourite 7 more stories then I will have favourited 200 stories, exactly

I am currently in the process of rewriting the first 2 chapters of New Hope/Shattered Sanctuary and hopefully I will have them done by tomorrow so that I can put them up with my next chapter. It's rather darker now than the humorous start that it got off to the first time around, here's a little taste of the very, very start:

A lone horn sounded from the dark forest, it cried out in the silence for a moment before it was cut off sharply, the scout pole axed from his horse. The watch on the walls at New Hope quickly signaled the alarm, Scanran raiders had surrounded the camp.

The commander of the camp watched from the main wall as her troops ran to raise the gates and man the battlements. It had been a month since the last attack on her camp and she had foolishly thought that they would be safe.

A flash of mail in the corner of her vision distracted her for a moment, thoughts of her friends flooding her mind. Neal had been among the first to fall, his magic of no use against a Scanran’s lance. His father had wept over his son’s body until an arrow bloomed from his back, another one to his temple following in quick succession. Kel had frozen in shock beside the bodies, endangering herself, until someone had grabbed her by the waist and dragged her down to sit against the wall.

She felt numb, apart from everything that was happening around her. She sat, motionless, as the Scanran’s flooded from the forest like oil across water. The walls were quickly overrun and the clang of sword fighting began to invade Kel’s thoughts. She stayed detached from her surroundings until someone fell down in front of her, blood pooling before her from a wound in the man’s side. Her heart shuddered as she realized that Dom was the man before her, clad in the mail of the Own and clinging to a bow that had fallen with him. He was with his uncle and cousin now, in the realms of the dead.

Kel turned her eyes from Dom to see a raider stood over her, broadsword grasped in a two handed grip. This would be her end as well.

Yeah, so it is a lot darker than the first write, but dont worry, there will still be quite a bit of humour in it xD

And something else that I must add in here, the baseball scene sounds kick-ass! (lolololol)

"Catherine Hardwicke, who's directing the scene for her adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's bestselling young-adult novel "Twilight," is excited about the sequence in which balls are hit with the force of cannon blasts and gravity-defying catches are the norm -- and about one gag in particular. In it, two players "are in competition to catch the same ball and have a huge, crazy midair collision 20 feet up in the air when a huge crash of thunder resounds," making it appear as though their clash created the resounding boom. One of them also "totally climbs up a tree crazy-style and catches a ball midair -- like way at the top of the tree. It's a really fun stunt.""

Rant

I think its about time that I had one of these and todays subject is the Twilight movie (did I hear a groan in the background?) I really just want to make my point with the cast (no offence intended) so, heres my opinion.

Ashley Greene-I love her! What is wrong with everyone, of course she is beautiful and she suits Alice (lets see anyone who flames about her do better!)


Of course you arent going to find an actor who is both short enough and old enough to play Alice, it is basically impossible. And I think that its about time for everyone to lay off her hair, there is a limit as to how short you can cut your hair and whether or not it will suit you. Of course she cant just randomly chop her hair off-then all of the fans will be saying: EWW what's with her hair? - either way, you cant win.

Robert Pattinson-Okay, maybe he isnt a Greek God but has anyone seen one of those around lately? The image that Stephenie has created for Rob to fill is pretty much impossible (although he is doing the best that he can to) Yes, his hair may look a little weird but doesn't Daniel Radcliffe's?


Yes, that is Daniel Radcliffe and his...mustache?

And who can forget the....mullet like being on his head in the movies

So...why does everyone like Daniel so much? If he can have hair like that and still be considered 'on of the hottest guys in the universe' (not my own words) whats so wrong with Rob's hair? And some people say that it isn't just his hair, its his face as well. If anyone wants to say that he is the worst possible choice for Edward and that he is 'hell ugly' I think that they should attatch a picture of themselves and see how they compare.

Kristen Stewart-She is beautiful. And to tell the truth, I didnt really like the A Series of Unfortunate Events anyway so I think that there is no better actor. I dont see how anyone can critisise her, I shall say again, you can only really say that someone is ugly if your prettier than them yourself and even then it whats on the inside that matters more.

I think that I'm done with this rant now and I will probably regret later anyway (when the movie comes out and I am proven wrong but then I will let everyone laugh at me). Hm....I cant remember what else I was going to say....

Except from Catherine Hardwicke is awesome and Stephenie Meyer all but rules the universe ^^

Edit

This is something else that I found from a google search:

Hmmm....

I Lolz

Which Twilight novel character are you?

You're Jasper Hale - You have a calming personality and a simplistic way of looking at life. People like to be around you because you can help keep peace and are friendly to everyone. Although you do have a quiet side, you would be well balanced with a bubbly, spunky mate.
Take this quiz!

Now lets see if this works (I messed a bit with the HTML to get rid of an annoying message) I cracked up so bad when I read this ^^ and the next time I update I will actually write a bit instead of just putting up quizzes/pictures/other random junk

And this is an extra edit, I couldn't resist when I found this-it is absolute GOLD!!!!! (just take a look, I was laughing until I cried)

*Pulls self up from floor* In the words of Mr Bui "OH MY GOD!!!"

And here is another one (no I didn't photoshop it) I found this in my random internet search of 'Edward Cullen'

Cute....I Think Not

Okay, I had to put this up here (its another pic from http://hisgoldeneyes.com/) I found it highly amusing-the picture and the comment

Hmmm....the comment for this one was:

'hahah she is picking food out of his teeth! adorable. =) '

.....Adorable....I think not.... It looks like he's eating her finger!

New Picture

I wonder if you found this one before ^^ It's from http://hisgoldeneyes.com/

And I love this bit:

Rob's Lullaby,

MTV reports that Rob Pattinson (Edward...you should know that by now) is composing a song that may be used as Edward's lullaby for Bella in the movie. He's apparently a very talented musician and though the Twilight director, the fabulous Ms. Hardwicke, can't confirm that Rob's song will absolutely be the final choice for the lullaby, Kristen Stewart seems fairly convinced.

Lol. I am doing a very good job at pro-crastinating
