But the ever continuing list of directors I want to work under has grown:

 Joss Whedon, Chris Weitz, and David Slade

Round 2 in less than 22hrs!

The End.

Without Rain There Can Be No Rainbows

...which accurately describes the day I am about to have.

If you remember this blog, I found out that I get to screen Eclipse tonight.
(or if you saw this Tweet from yesterday...)

Since I volunteer at the Denver Center, I gots the hook-up!

Basically my "boss" cannot go promote Dracula so she asked me to go in her place!

I'll be giving out 2 pairs of tickets to lucky trivia winners,

My plus 1, Adam, & I get to stay and watch the movie,

and then hand out "Dracula bucks" after its over.

YEP! Eclipse = Rainbows!

heh, like how Edward glitters, and rainbows glitter...

heh heh, see what I did there?

[yea, I'm a loser!]

...but here is my rain...

Today also marks the first day of summer school.

Granted it is the last 2 classes of my college career..

[*fingers crossed*]

but still..

Summer school.

You can't argue that summer school = Rain.

What are some rain & rainbows in your life right now?

LTT Memorial Day Questionnaire

Today the lovely UC of @letter2twilight posted a fun questionnaire in lou of a "crappy, not thought-out" letter [her words]...

& I am going to answer it here!

Q: How long have been reading LTT:

A: I think around March or April 2009...

Q: When did you read the Twilight books for the 1st time

A: In November of 2007 I read Twilight in 11hours
I got New Moon & Eclipse for Christmas '07 and finished both in 2.5 days

Then I was at the midnight release of Breaking Dawn:

and read it from 12:45am to 8:45am:

and it is tied with Twilight as my fav

Q: Team Edward or Team Jacob

A: Easypeasy... Edward!

Q: Always?

A: Yes. Unless you consider Team ALICE!

Q: How “out” are you about Twi in your “real life?”

A: Completely. More than I really am... People are always coming up to me to talk about the 'latest news' ... you know the stuff I've known for 4-5days already...

Q: Top 5 people in the Twi world you want to meet the most

A:

5. 

Kristen - so if she is really a bitch irl, I can punch her.

4.

Ashley Greene - because I want used to want to be BFFs,

but now I want a pic with Alice!

3. 

Chris Weitz to rape him pick his brain for directing advice

2. 

Robward Pattinson - obvi!

1. 

Duh! Stephenie Meyer

Q: What are you reading? 

A: The last book I was reading this week was "Kill Your Friends"

Q: Do you have Eclipse Plans?

A: Yes. I will be driving down to south Denver since the cinema complex I work at didn't book it!

[Yeah! They are INSANE for not fighting for it...]

 

And I have since sent an email to UC & Moon requesting advice from the LTT community about my plans...

Q: Three sentence bio (tell us where you’re from!)

A: I’m a 23 year old, single from Colorado, USA. I love dolphins, music, musical theatre, cinema, cats, my cat Kona, crafting, Twilight, True Blood, most vampire lore in visual media (which all started with Buffy), anything from the mind of Joss Whedon and a whole bunch of other stuff. Oh, and I write this blog!

Q: Random Twilight Fact (about yourself)

A: Until I saw the Eclipse trailer for the first time on a movie screen this last Saturday, I thought I was over it *gasp*

So yeah! That was fun!

Feel free to answer these questions about yourself in the comments!

The GOLD That is LTT

I for one feel that you can't truly be a fan of something if you can't tease yourself about it.

Especially Twilight.

Having said that...

I have a (mildly one-sided) love affair with LTT

[thats Letters to Twilight & LTR is Letters to Rob, just sayin]

Not only do Moon & UC whip out hilarious letters,

but the community is made of amazingness & comedy gold!

As the LTT/LTR community has grown, many letters are written by readers

 such as CalliopeBlabs and Freya

But as every reader should know knows,

some of the best stuff is left in the comments!

A prime example:

I followed a Tweet
to a letter comment

*I'll pause while you read and re-reed this awsomly speeled lettar.*

& if you think that is the best of the best,

you'd be mistaking because the reply comments had me LOLing irl style!

Donny… I’m sorry you lost your lady, but seriously- you don’t need to take it out on those of us who enjoy the occasional word spelled correctly.

Now go put on a pea coat & Ray-bans and tell your girl you don’t want her to come. She’ll get all worked up and will no longer be lost.

mariemarie, on May 24, 2010 at 12:35 pm Said:

Donny it brakes my hart that you losted your girlfriend.

Ashley, on May 24, 2010 at 12:36 pm Said:

I agree with UC. Go get some Ray-bans…work your stuff. Get confident. Be “forbidden” and play hard to get.

Heck, read the books. You might be surprised that you like them yourself. Then you two would have something in common and a new role playing game in the bedroom.

This could work for you.

deep fryed head first in a local mcdonalds kitchen? 

*sobs uncontrollably* 

It will take so long to get the grease out of my hair. 

          Seri Panjouled, on May 24, 2010 at 1:30 pm Said

          ^ this MIGHT be the way to Rob’s heart. Just sayin’.

Ashley, on May 24, 2010 at 12:34 pm Said:

Haha.
Robert Pattinson. Setting unrealistic standards for women since 2009.

Sorry, dude.
A garlic tree would be pretty sweet, though.

tielle, on May 24, 2010 at 12:37 pm Said: 

Perhaps your girlfriend dumped you for reasons other than Twilight. . . like your apparent aversion to spell check or your lack of education. I doubt 90% of the male population was broken up with over their girlfriends love for this series. Of course, if this is the case then maybe you guys should start reading this “rubbish” and take notes on how to be the perfect boyfriend.

P.S. It isn’t the least bit appealing hearing someone say “I hope all you fuckers get deep fryed head first in a local mcdonalds kitchen!” 

tiffanized, on May 24, 2010 at 12:38 pm Said: 

Well if I’m going to get blasted for the existence of Twilight, I better start seeing some royalty checks, stat. 

Mr. Brasco–if that is indeed your real name–I’ve noticed that the kind of guys who lose their women to Twilight are the same kind of guys who think that Applebee’s is an appropriate venue for their anniversary dinner and don’t know what their lover’s favorite flower is. Grow a romantic bone–or better yet, read the books and take some tips from Edward (just not the stalking and breaking & entering). Write her a note that says “Be Safe” when she leaves for a business trip. Give her your mom’s tacky engagement ring. Wear a sleeveless white button down. 

Also, I think you are confused: ERIC is the poofter (aka “Gaysian”).  

          Ashley, on May 24, 2010 at 12:42 pm Said: 

          A-MEN. Thanks, Tiff. 

          It’s not hard being romantic. I don’t know why guys just…can’t get it.

          and hey, Donny, instead of being threatened by a fictional vampire who was written by a mormon (awesome) housewife, step up your game a bit. YOU are the obtainable one. 

          Throw on some glitter and step out into the sunlight.

          xo-me. 

& OF COURSE there is always more where that came from...

I guess I am saying is:
If you are a Twilight fan and haven't checked out LTT/LTR yet...

WHY THE HECK NOT?!

Just Say No to Kstew... A Rant

KNOCK KNOCK

Who's there?
-Apparently not me!-
Sorry.
Sometimes I just don't blog.

But since tomorrow is the beginning of LENT
I need to get this blog out there because...
well I guess you'll find out tomorrow....

 As a Twilight fan, I have an addiction to the Twi-blogs out there...
The bloggers at the forefront of this list are the ladies of LTT & LTR.

LTT has a post called: A healthy debate: Kristen Stewart’s Acting.

I started to leave a comment with my opinion,
and it ended up a novel. 

Therefore, I thought I'd share my "novel" here...
***

As someone who owns In the Land of Woman proudly, worked in a video store for over a year (around the time when Into the Wild came out) and now has been working at a movie theatre for a year and some change I can safely say... I CANNOT STAND KSTEWS ACTING!!! With or without Rob. End.Of.Story.

Rob was on my radar WAY before Twilight. KStew was on my radar starting with *wince* Zathura (since to this day I have never wanted to make my TV commit suicide with Panic Room). I rented (for free when I worked at the video store) Into The Wild and couldn't even finish the DVD... That.Never.Happens.To.Me.

And when even Twilight came out, I didn't have the nonsten passion I have now.

Shortly? after came Adventureland... When Adventureland posters started popping up around work because I get breathy around Ryan Reynolds myself, I was really excited to see it... Let me remind you I work at the movie theatre (I see movies for free)... Ugh. I walked out wanting 2hrs of my life back. I saw it with my favorite lesbian and even SHE said she hardly lusted over Kstew while I lusted over Ryan, and she is into Kstew. Bella, erm, Kstew couldn't act... (to be fair: Rob's Spanish Dalí is very similar to an American Edward.. but Little Ashes was also epically better)

New Moon was a smidgen more tolerable because post-breakup she didn't have to act. She was blah with rare wonderful moments of life and then back to whiney... aka she didn't have to act. =/ And she didn't BRING IT with a heartbreak at the break up scene... The reason I cry everytime is because I have been there and I remember how I felt reading the book. I usually have tears by this scene and don't have to worry about actually looking at her until that wonderful bare chest and beer belly show up...

I love Dakota Fanning. I love what Joan Jett did for females in the music industry... so let me just say THANK ROBWARD that I won't have to spend my own money on it.

Final verdict:
As long as I don't have to spend my own money on it, I will continue to give Kstews MOVIES a chance. And she'll probably let me down until it hits her that she isn't 14 anymore and should probably work at the craft. As far as KSTEW herself: Bloody hell woman take a shower and get off the man I have wet dreams about!

A Happy Birthday to... TaylorTot

How Twilight Should Have Ended.

Since I fail at doing anything productive. Ever.

(I also fail sleeping as well...)

I shall share the video, Charlie Bewley tweeted out.
(As in, he just shared it recently.)

It is good times.
(Even for the non-Twi!)

You are welcome.

TaylorTot... Am I slowly falling for you!?

It is widely known in the world TwiBubble, that Taylor Lautner was Summits go-to-PR-man/face of Twilight. [Since he is young and eager to please. *cough* thatswhatshesaid *cough*]


And even when NEWS BROKE that you, TaylorTot, were unhappy with just being a piece of hott under-age meat oogled at for your New Moon abs....

...you are still considered the one of the 'Holy Trinity' that is game for anything:


Skip to the last 2mins for AWESOMENESS:

See!? He really is down for anything:

So TaylorTot,
 

After watching you on Conan, I sent out a Tweet about your jawline...
But it was the fact that you could actually DO IT (catch grapes in your mouth that is) was what I found attractive...

Then I saw the Jimmy video from a LTT post...
In which you are confused at the beginning and get so into it at the end...

 Well I got so into watching these snip-its, I ended up tracking down each full interview online...

And I'm beginning to worry that I truly will become a Mrs. Robinson in the future...

You see I have a rule, in my dating realm:
I am 23, therefore, the youngest I can go is 20!

And I only broke this once when I was 20 and he was 16...

...you see!?

I am already a reformed cradle-robber!

And I just can't have you out there rockin' a sweet suit!

or steamy and sexeh in the rain!

So from now on, if ever I feel a swoon coming on...
I shall force myself to look at the following pictures:

Then convince myself that you are still 8 and not 2.5 months from 18!

...

Damn it.

I scrolled back up.

Forgive me Father for I have sinned...
