Again.

It's that time of year again.

Yep.

Time to get tickets for the midnight showing of Eclipse!!!

What, that wasn't what you were expecting??  What planet are you from then?!

Ha ha, I kid. Sorta :D

I went today and spent WAY too much money, but I got tickets. And not just any ordinary tickets. My theatre is showing Twilight and New Moon before Eclipse. SQUEEEE!!!  So starting at 7:15 pm on June 29th, Matthew, the Bestie, her bf, and I will have our butts planted in a movie theater seat (poor guys never had a chance!). I'm so very excited!

I gotta feeling...

that tonight's gonna be a good night!!

The bestie and her bf are coming over tonight. We have a frozen pizza, chips and queso, and monkey bread to enjoy while we watch Twilight. After that, we are headed over to the theater to see NEW MOON!!!!! I am ecstatic! I cannot believe it is already here :) The counter on my page finally says "0 days" and I am sooo ready! I have a little paper to write and I have to go to work and clean and make monkey bread, but I'm hoping to squeeze in some New Moon reading today. I just love it!

What about you? Are you as excited as I am?

Bestest Friend

The Bestie just sent me a text saying this:

"I got 4 twilight tickets!"

Of course we all know she is referring to New Moon. It is really funny because I was going to stop by the movie theater to get the tickets and she beat me to it! Great minds think alike :) The first four showings were already sold out so our tickets are for 12:12 am on the 20th. I'm very very excited. I guess I feel more excited now that I have physical proof it is happening in 48 days!

BTW, Matthew and I are still on for "shopping" this evening... I'll let you know how it goes!

It's that time again!

I am now in NEW MOON mode! It's crazy actually, and I might need therapy (or heavy duty psych meds....) I check newmoonmovie.org obsessively (and by obsessively I mean every other minute I am online). The official movie poster was released this morning, and I LOVE IT!!!!!
You better believe that this replaced my pretty white Twilight background on my desktop. It looks amazing... Edward is amazing... Jacob is amazing... omg. I'm in New Moon overload!!

Hurry! Someone get the tranquilizers!!

Who's it going to be?

*SPOILER ALERT: DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN/INTEND TO SEE THE AMERICAN IDOL ELIMINATION FROM TONIGHT!!*

Click picture for link to original
I have watched American Idol on and off during its 8 seasons. I remember watching the first one, then I skipped a couple and didn't really get back into it until season 5. I was for sure that Chris Daughtry was going to win. I skipped season 6, and got back into it last season and love David Cook :) This season, I have watched it almost religiously, and now that the finale is next week, I feel I must share my opinions, and get yours as well!

I'm a little disappointed to see Danny go. I really like all three of them, so I guess it would have been disappointing either way. I feel like everyone thinks of Adam as the shoe-in for the title, but I also feel like Danny and Kris are better singers than him. The difference is that Adam is the better performer. At first I was certain that it would be Adam and Danny in the top two. As I got use to Kris and even Allison, I figured it could go a number of ways. I love Kris as a singer, but I didn't expect him to outlast Allison, and definitely not Danny. I think, though, that he could come in from behind and take the title from Adam. Adam will not have any issues getting a record deal whether or not he wins, so I think Kris should win. That is just my opinion though. You tell me now... what's yours?

Bella Complex

I do not know what is going on with me, but the past couple of days I have been especially clumsy. I can't tell you how many times I have dropped things (cell phone, purse, jacket, umbrella, etc.), knocked things over (especially off of my bathroom sink), and tripped/slid (over shoes, clothes, completely flat surfaces... ). I have never been especially graceful, but my goodness it's not usually this bad. Maybe it is all the buzz about New Moon and all the wonderful pictures of the cast that have me a flustered. My subconscious must be trying to turn me into Bella so as to attract a hunky vampire. What do you think?

Also, congrats to Brahmin in Boston for her 100th post!!!!!

It's almost here

Tomorrow is my birthday! I'm kind of excited, kind of not. I turn 22 this year, which seems pretty surreal. I feel like I'm actually an adult, but I still want to be kid. Whatev... plenty of time for an identity crisis after this weekend.

I wanted to say that Matthew has well made up for the concert incident. How did he manage that you may ask? Well, he bought me the greatest early birthday present I could have asked for. (p.s. Not that I require him to buy me things when he makes me mad... He did it on his own). I do not know many guys secure enough in their relationships to give such a wonderful gift! I got the picture from amazon.com.

Yes. He bought me Edward!!!!!! How awesome is that! I feel like one of those creepy stalkerish fangirls, but I don't really care. It was pretty cool of Matthew to do this :) So What do you think?

The bestie is throwing me a party this evening. I'll try to take some pictures if I get a chance. So excited!

I must be dreaming!

While catching up on my Google Reader, I came across from the most recent post from Tia over at Clever Girl Goes Blog. I really really enjoy reading her blog. We both share our fluent language of sarcasm :) Anywho, today she posted what could possibly be the movie poster for New Moon, and I must say.... well, I can't really say anything for all the drool pouring out of my mouth. Holy crap it should be illegal!!! I'll let you see for yourself. What do you think?? click on the picture to go back to the original article :)

Where is he?

Remember that poster that the bestie and I.. ummm.. borrowed? Well, the bestie and I decided to take pictures of that poster in weird places. You saw mine (it was kind of pathetic...). The bestie sent me hers yesterday with only one line in the email. It said:


"Edward in my BED!!! Beat that"

This left me speechless! Why didn't I think of that?! It's ok though. Matthew came up with a genius idea for when I get the poster back next week. Sorry, but you are just going to have to wait. It's so good that I can't risk sharing it! hahaha

p.s. I'm suppose to find out about UK's counseling program today in the mail. I swear I'm going to try and not tackle the mailman.... I'll let you know what happens!

It should be illegal

So I actually watched the Oscar's last night. I hardly ever watch it, and there was only one person that made me want to watch it this year.

Yep.... Robert Pattinson

Image from here

I'm so not obsessed... (well, maybe a little).

There was just way too much sexy in one area. I didn't know Hugh Jackman was hosting (apparently I have lived in a cave for the past month or two). I think he did a very good job. He was funny, and he kept it clean which is really important. I'm not going to make this a long post, although I would like to know if anyone else noticed who was sitting behind Mickey Rourke? I certainly did! It was none other than.... Rob (of course!). I was very pleased with this. Nothing against Mickey, but I would much rather stare at Edward. haha

Borrow.... not steal....

The bestie and I always talk about how we have to be the most pathetic college students in the world. We are graduating in roughly 3 months, and have only been out to a bar once. We never do anything. We constantly desire to do something wild and spontaneous... we finally figured out how :)

First, I should mention that every week the campus plays popular movies for students for $1. This week, they are playing.... wait for it..... TWILIGHT!!!!! ::squeeeeeee:: It is playing Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and of course I'm going to both showings :)

To advertise, there have been posters in the student center. The bestie and I have been lusting after one of the posters, but they were all locked up behind glass (of course). Last week, we finally found one. It was taped to the front desk in our classroom. We decided that this was our chance for spontaneity. The bestie walked right up to the front of the lecture hall and grabbed the poster! So now we have Edward in poster form :) We have joint custody... I have him now and we will trade off on Thursday. Hahaha... I know it's pathetic that our big spontaneous act was stealing (uh... I mean borrowing without permission...) a poster. Oh well. I can guarantee that we will never forget it, and those are the best experiences to have :)

Twilight-a-thon... kinda

OK, I failed....

I mean, what kind of fan can't continue a twilight-a-thon for more than a day? I have failed miserably (I wonder if Edward will ever forgive me???).

Anyway, I will blame my laziness on re-reading Twilight before I see the movie TOMORROW night **trying miserably to not squeal like a 13 year old girl**.... and also on the very chilly weather. What could be better than curling up under a nice fleece blanket with an awesome book while watching it snow outside? So in my defense, nature was against me and I was simply distracted by other things. Pitiful, I know, but it will have to do. Plus, it is my blog afterall, so if I happen to not make a post or two, what does it matter? lol

Enough about that for now... I have another "why my boyfriend is Edward" moment to share. This was just so good that I could hardly believe it was Matthew! So here goes...

While listening to the Twilight soundtrack (naturally) and stuck in horrible mall traffic:

Matthew: "Am I sparkling honey?"

Me: "Baby, the sun isn't out. It's way to cloudy for you to sparkle."

Matthew: "but.... you are my sunshine."

I mean, it doesn't get any better than that.... seriously.

Twilight-a-thon

Hello, my name is Kirsty, and I'm a twilight-a-holic.

Wow, I feel so much better. That first step was a doozy!

Now that that is out of the way, I feel better about my multiple Twilight related posts. Since I have so many already, I figured it wouldn't hurt to post Twilight every day starting today until I see the movie (and then multiple after that about the movie... naturally).

So where to start it all off??? I believe I will begin with the soundtrack that my amazing boyfriend purchased for me (perhaps that should equal another mark on the Edward List??? I'll think about it). I have been listening to it all week, and I actually believe that it helped me with studying for my Abnormal exam I had yesterday! Or maybe I'm just losing my mind... whatev. Anyway, I love most of the songs on the soundtrack, but I've decided to post my favorite one here. I have not been able to get it out of my head, so instead of trying to get rid of it I decided to give in... it's soooo much easier that way! Anyway, enjoy the video!

I Got a Golden Ticket!!!

Well, not really golden, but close enough! I fought 5:30 Nicholasville Road traffic to get Twilight tickets. I finally made it to the movie theater, and went straight to the window and made my demand. The 12:01am showing was sold out, but I got 4 tickets to the 12:05am showing. I figure that if I am waiting this long, 4 more minutes won't kill me (I hope....). Amanda and I are taking Matthew and Stefan, and they better pay attention (or even take notes... that would be awesome lol). Needless to say, I am absolutely thrilled for the movie. Less than two weeks away!


Now that I have made an attempt to spread my joy, I must begin cleaning this mess I call an apartment. Dad and Nola are coming down tomorrow to bring me a new computer (since mine got the BSOD x 2.... not a good thing). I think I will be too busy most of the night to think about the movie (..... yeah right... who am I kidding??)

I'm not obsessed.... well, maybe a little....

Since I finished reading the books, I can't stop thinking about them! It's a little scary actually. I spent those two weeks living vicariously through Bella Swan, and now all I can do is keep wishing Matthew would turn into Edward, and everything I hear or see I can relate to Twilight. Poor Matthew is so annoyed with me! I'm sure he will get over it eventually, but he will definitely have to wait a couple of months after the movie is released....

I think the reason I am so in love with these books is because of the story of true love between Edward and Bella. It is every girl's dream to find a man that will risk his life for her, and love her truly and unconditionally. We want to be the damsel in distress who finds her prince charming, and this is exactly what happens in these books. Edward says all the right things at all the right times, and is the perfect example of what a man should be to the woman that he loves. It has actually made me reassess my relationship with Matthew (as sad as that may seem). Luckily, I have come to the conclusion that Matthew is not that far off from Edward, and he even has some of the better properties of Jacob as well (2 for 1!). So here is why Matthew is my Edward(or Jacob):

1. He is pale, and has fangs. I know Edward doesn't have fangs, but at least give me that much lol.
2. He does sweet random things that remind me why I fell in love with him in the first place. Exhibit A is the beautiful bouquet of roses he brought home for me this weekend when I was in a sour mood. He also leaves me cute voicemails when he goes to lunch. It's no "take care of my heart I've left it with you" but it will do.
3. He is absolutely in love with me, and I'm pretty sure that he would do whatever it would take to keep me safe, even battle a hoard of vampires if so necessary. Also, he has already told me that he refuses to live without me. (it's scary actually, but for this purpose it pushes him towards the Edward side....)
4. He is always running a temperature. He just naturally runs hotter than the regular 98.1. He isn't quite a "toasty 108.9" but I would be scared out of my mind if he ran that kind of a temperature.
5. He is fuzzy.. at least when he doesn't shave he kinda looks like a wolfman.
   

Alright, so these may not be the best, and Matthew may not be an Edward, but he is mine and that is enough for me (for the moment at least :D )

In summary, I really enjoyed this book series (as if that wasn't obvious already). Curiosity made me start reading them, but the story kept me interested. I have a pretty short attention span when it comes to books, and it really says something when I can get through a book in less than 24 hours.

sorry little blog!

Sadly, I have abandoned my poor little blog. I have been swamped with school and other stuff **cough cough** reading Twilight **cough cough**. I am working on Breaking Dawn, and so in honor of these books I decided to post the final Twilight Trailer off of YouTube. Enjoy!

So Frustrating

Yesterday, I was counting down the seconds until I got to come home from class and find my wonderful books sitting on my welcome mat. I practically ran up the steps only to notice that my welcome mat was bare. I figured it just hadn't been delivered yet.... and that's when I saw the stupid sticky note I was dreading. Since no one was home the UPS person kept my package and left a note that they will make another attempt on Monday. What the crap??? So now I am without my precious books this weekend. It really sucks because I paid extra for two day delivery, and I still have to wait the 4-5 days for it! It isn't Amazon's fault I guess, but I should have been given an option to pick my delivery time or whether or not I wanted someone to sign for it. It ruined my day! Matthew wanted to go pick it up, but we couldn't find a number to actually talk to a person. Also, if I had wanted to go pick the books up, I would have just gone to the mall. So Anyway, I am sitting at home right now. I'm going to Frankfort in a little bit and am going to the pumpkin patch with Nina, then decorating pumpkins with Whitley, Kierre, and my little cousin. Hopefully that will distract me from my withdrawal :(

Catch Up

Haven't posted in a couple of days, so I thought I would catch up. First, here are the pictures I promised from Matthew's birthday weekend.

Matthew showing off his ticket from the UK vs. Western game.









We attacked him with our Volunteer stickers lol









This is the birthday cake his parents had for him. I think the writing is cute :)









The cake I made. I used the same pan from Dad's birthday, but I did different colors, and I didn't have any help with this one. I think it turned out pretty well if I don't say so myself lol










I have not been doing too much. I have been busy with school, and Matthew and I have gone out the past couple of times. We needed some time to just hang out again without worrying about school or work. Also, I went on Amazon.com yesterday and ordered the last two books of the Twilight Saga... It was cheaper on there than at the mall, and they should be delivered Friday :D I'm so excited!!!!

I'm not really in the blogging mood right now, so maybe I'll have something better towards the end of the week :)

must....resist.... temptation

So I finished New Moon (yes, I just bought it about 24hrs ago... your point??). I literally could not put it down for more than 5 minutes at a time, and poor Matthew got the evil eye every time he asked me a question or even made a comment in my direction. I couldn't help it I promise! lol Anyway, I have an intense desire to go out right now and purchase the next in the series, but I am resisting this urge. Sadly, I have other things to do that do not involve Edward, Bella, Jacob, or anyone else in the Twilight universe. My new obsession isn't safe, so I think a couple of days without will do me some good lol (assuming I can make it that long :D).

Completely Addicted

I have heard a lot about Twilight lately, with the movie coming out in November and all. I'll admit, I was curious of what all the fuss was about, so I decided to check it out for myself. I finished it in two days (would have been one, but once again classes got in the way of fun.... lol). I felt that the story, while entertaining, was quite simple. It didn't involve a lot of thought, and answers to my questions came quite easy. Surprisingly, I ran out today to by the next one in the series, and am finding it difficult to not read it at this very moment. As simple as the story may be, it is good, and I can't help but want more. I want... no, need... to know what happens between Edward and Bella! I just can't help it... So I am off to read New Moon, with hopes that it will last because, well, I'm broke and can't afford the other two in the series that haven't been releases as paperback yet...

Oh yeah, I'm totally going to see the movie when it comes out. Against my better judgement, I've become a Twilight fanatic....

Check out Stephanie Meyer's website here for more info on the series, her other books, and the movie :D
