bree

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of the Twilight Saga.

I love the books and movies big time.

Well that Stephenie Meyer is one sly lady!

She wrote an eclipse novella.

Yeah i know what is a novella?

I had no idea so i went to my reliable source (aka google) and found that it basically is a short story, but a little longer.

What is it about you ask?

You know Bree in Eclipse? She's the newborn vampire who's left at the end of the fight between the Cullens & wolves and Victoria's newborn army. She can't control herself and really wants to eat Bella.

Well, Stephenie made a short book about her. it's going to be called The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner!

Check out the release of the news on her website here.

The book is going to be available FREE online in the beginning of June just before the release of Eclipse movie!

Hard copies of the book are also going to be for sale and a dollar from each one sold is going to go to the Red Cross! How great is that?!

Eclipse is my favorite book in the saga. I can't wait to read this and get a different perspective on the newborn army!!

And because you can never watch it enough times, here's the trailer for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse =)

Can't wait!

Now if Stephenie would only finish/release Midnight Sun, that would be fantastic ;)

what i think

I think it's pretty obvious I went to see New Moon at midnight the other night. I only slept 5 hours but it was totes worth it (plus I caught up by sleeping 13 hours last night).

I thought it was 10x better than Twilight. I would say it was 1349013x better, but we're saying realistic numbers here. I was really happy with it.

My favvy fav parts were (*spoilerish*):

1. The ending. Absolutely perfect! Couldn't have been a better set up.

2. The Volturi. They were bombdotcom. Aro was creepy. Like super creepy, my skin was crawling when he talked. Plus the throwing around of Edward wasn't in the book, but it fit in there seamlessly.

3. When Edward finds out through Jacob that Charlie is arranging the funeral. I loved seeing him crushing the phone. It was the only way you could truly see how devastated he was when he thought Bella had died.

4. Charlie. He was just a scene stealer. He was such an awkward dad, he rocked!

5. The months. I had no idea what they were going to do to show Bella's catatonic state during those blank pages that break my heart every time I reread New Moon, but they pulled it off!!

Those are just a few of my favorite parts, there were many more. I'm Team Edward all the way. I didn't debate changing teams when I saw Jacob take his shirt off (many times) or when Jacob and Bella almost kissed. I couldn't wait to see Edward again. I'm going to see New Moon again tomorrow afternoon and I can't wait =D

here it is

Kellan Lutz is gorgeous. That is all.

Here's the story.

I went to the mall with Chelsea and Sydney (my sleeping on the mall floor buddies) and Sydney's friends Brianna and Jillian. We got to the mall around 4pm. The autograph signing was set to start at 5:45. When we got to the mall there were already over 200 people. We asked what time the line started forming. The Hot Topic person said they started seeing people at around 2:30!

We had to wait outside for an hour in the cold. The mall would only let 220 people stand in line inside the mall. Here's Sydney, Chelsea, and me (the other girls didn't have bracelets for the signing so they waited inside).

The signing started and we made our way inside. There were so many news reporters there covering the story. My parents saw me on the news =)

We couldn't take pictures with him or of him, couldn't have him sign anything personal, and he couldn't personalize anything. Sorry I can't show a pic wicked close up =/

He was soo sweet to this little girl a couple of people in front of me. She was very shy when she was at the table. Kellan asked her a question and she didn't hear him or was really nervous he was actually talking to her so she started walking away. He said, "I'm not letting you go that easily" and she turned around. He gave her a high five, it was so nice!!

I couldn't think of anything to say to him so I just said hi and thank you. When he looked at me, oh my gosh... Yup I was star struck, haha!

After we said hi and got our posters we went and put them in the car so we wouldn't bend and ruin them, we went over to the stage. There were a lot of people there but we got a pretty good standing spot on the side about 3 or 4 people deep. We didn't have to wait very long before the band Hurricane Bells performed. They sing the song "Monster" on the New Moon soundtrack.

They sang 4 songs. They were pretty good, not really my kind of music but they put on a good performance.

We had to wait half an hour for Kellan to come out. In the meantime, a radio dj was doing some trivia and giving out prizes. So the time finally came for Kellan to come out!!

(warning: turn your volume down)

He has a picture of Ashley Greene because she was suppose to come to our stop on the tour, but something came up (she had filming for Eclipse to do) and she couldn't come. I thought it was so cute. When he came in, we were literally forced forward by the crowd. It was very close quarters to say the least.

Here he is!

It's a good thing I'm tall.

He talked about how Eclipse is going to be "dark and edgy" and how he loved doing the fight sequences and stunts!!

He said his favorite part of playing Emmett is being able to make fun of Bella. He said he would make Kristen Stewart laugh during their scenes!!

His favorite book in the series is Eclipse (which is mine too!!)

He says he loves going to fan events like the one last night instead of the "boring" press tours, haha =)

It was only a half hour long, but it was so much fun! It was totally worth sleeping on the floor! I can't wait for New Moon to open in a week =D I have my ticket for the midnight show (technically the 12:10 show because the 12:01 and 12:05 were sold out!!) I. can. not. wait!!!

Here's the poster with his signature:

I have a few more pictures of him and video. Let me know if you guys want to see more =)

xo

guess what

Guess what I'm doing on thursday!

I'm going to the mall.

No I'm not going to start my Christmas shopping.

No I'm not going to treat myself to a new outfit.

No I'm not going to window shop.

I'm going to meet this person:

Yup, Kellan Lutz who plays Emmett Cullen in the Twilight movies =)

I'm kind of pumped. I get to get his autograph and attend a q & a. It's going to be awesome for realz. I'll have pictures and hopefully some video later!!

There's just one thing...

What do I say to him? =)

welcome november!!

Happy November 1st!!

I failed and forgot to do a blog to say Happy Halloween, so...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN YESTERDAY!! =)

Let me explain to you the craziest, weirdest Halloween I've had in years or maybe ever.

I said earlier in October that I was going to a Haunted House and that I would be working this Haunted House on Halloween. Well I did! But let's start back to Friday first.

I went to my 8am class, the only class I have on Fridays. It turns out there was less than half the class there, so my professor cancelled class.

After having no class, I went to breakfast with my friends like I do every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Then I worked the table for caricatures for Homecoming and PC. I hung out in my room, took a quick nap, and went to float building for the homecoming parade at 8. Afterwards I went and hung out with some cool people watching them play old school Super Mario on the original Nintendo. Pretty normal friday night.

Here's where the start of my Halloween began. My friend Chelsea came by and picked me up at 11:30 pm. We drove to the Mall an hour away. Then we camped out on the floor until 8 am.

Now, why the heck was I camping out on the floor? To buy my t-shirt and receive my wristband to meet Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz who play Alice and Emmett Cullen from the Twilight movies =D

Hot Topic was selling 500 limited edition The Twilight Saga: New Moon t-shirts. The wristband came with it and gives us the chance to meet these actors and get their autographs!! And I got mine!!! So here's to November 12th when they'll be at the mall!!! I'm so excited and can not wait =D

Since I basically slept on the floor of the mall friday night, I slept from 10-3. A nice 5 hour nap. I had to get up and get ready to go to Barrett's Haunted House at 4:30.

We got there and were brought into the House for a tour. Everything was running, but since we were the characters in it, there were no people to jump out at you. When I went a couple weeks ago, it was really scary, especially when the people jump out at you. This time going through it was STILL scary. The place is just eerie and gross. I kind of chickened out and was going to be the trailer watcher, all by myself sitting in the trailer watching everyone's things. I was alright with it. But the guy who runs the house asked if I wanted to be a scraper. I was very apprehensive and wanted to say no. But he assured me all I would be doing is sitting on a stool running a metal wand against a grate and operating an air cannon. I accepted, it sounded easy enough. It was easy. The scraper made sparks and the air cannon was perfect for scaring people. The only downside. I had to sit in this little closet thing in the PITCH DARK all by myself. I was a little nervous, but by the end I was so tired I just went with it.

I scared so many people! Sparks in a completely dark room is really scary. Add the air cannon when they least expected it and they went running into the next room!!

I know this November is going to be a better November than last year was. Of course I'll explain all that later.

Happy November Everyone! Enjoy the weather and start fasting for Thanksgiving =)

books i've been reading

I've been into reading lately. Sometimes I get that way towards the end of the summer. I'll be working or will have plans with friends but need something to do to fill my time. I could go on the computer or watch Gilmore Girls (I have all 7 seasons), but if I have a good book, then I'd much rather sit and read.

I was reading and rereading the Twilight Saga A LOT at the beginning of the year. I decided it was time I change things up. So I did =)

Well, I changed books.

I'm still reading about Vampires ;)

I've been watching True Blood on HBO. I found out it was based on a series of books, The Sookie Stackhouse series. I decided to change things up and read that (plus I finished the 7th Season of Gilmore Girls a couple months ago). The first book is called Dead Until Dark. I thought it was pretty good. The tv show stays to the books for the most part. There are a few characters that the show expands on more and there's a lot more nudity in the show than in the book, but I liked it. I'm going to try and read the other books at some point, whenever I can buy the other 8 in the series.

Another series I've started reading, all thanks to my friend Ashley, is the House of Night novels. I'm into series of books for some reason. I think it's the anticipation of there being another part to the story that is fun to read about.

The first is called Marked, but I'm on the second which is entitled Betrayed. It's a different type of vampire story much like Twilight. The vampires (spelled vampyres) in the House of Night don't explode in sunlight, don't have fangs, and don't have to be bitten to be turned into a vampyre. They are chosen and literally marked as a vampyre. It's set in a modern society where vampyres have just always existed. The young fledgling vampyres are suppose to have crescent shaped tattoos on their forehead. They either make the change into an adult vampyre or they die. If they turn into adults, their mark will turn into a more intricate tattoo framing their face. This series is in the point of view of a fledging vampyre named Zoey Redbird. She has a special power and is unlike the other fledglings.

I liked the first book and I'm enjoying reading the second book. There are 5 books to this series as of right now and I've been told there's a possibility of more.

So that is what I'm reading right now. I have another book in the line-up. It's called Blue Bloods. We'll see if I'm able to read it before I head back to school in 26 days =O

I'm a Crazy Fangirl and I have a problem

Truth time: I'm Meghan and I'm a Twi-holic.

I'm addicted to Twilight and everything that has to do with it.  It's a legit problem.

I watched the MTV Movie Awards the other night and got excited whenever anything Twilight or Rob Pattinson ever came on the tv.

What to do what to do...

My only solution to the problem is to feed it.  Ok well while I wish that were the case, alas I can not.   I do need to make sure I don't lock myself in my room for three days straight until I finish one of the books (which I've done on multiple occasions).  I need to talk about something other than Twilight with people.  I should stop perusing the Twilight blogs and stop following Twilight people on Twitter.

Of course I'm joking!! I do love me some Twilight on many occasions, but I'm not to the point where I'm a crazy site stalker who has home-made t-shirts and who spends all my money on everything Twilight.  So I don't see my obsession as a bad thing.  I really like it so sue me.

I only have a few Twilight paraphernalia (i.e. Edward poster, Twilight key chain).  I might buy a bag with some quotes on it, maybe.  I plan on going to see New Moon at midnight on November 20, 2009. But that is it.  Nothing too overtly obsessed fan.  I don't plan on going across country or to another state if the cast is going to be anywhere or if there's some kind of event or convention anywhere.  While I would like to, that just can't happen, I won't allow myself to it (plus I'm poor and in college).

So while I'm slightly obsessed and have watched the new New Moon trailer numerous times (with more in my future) I understand what I'm doing.  I'm obsessed, but I still go to work and I went to class and did my homework, so it's on a healthy level.  Love Twilight long time, for realzzz.

I'm pumped for this:

You can watch the trailer here (if you want) =)

(No offense to anyone who has gone across the country for Twilight or on the movie sites.  I'm a little jealous actually.  I love that some people can be soo passionate about something.)
