Similarities about the Fanfiction authors that I like:

Love = 5 Stars
Like A Lot = 4 Stars
Like = 3 Stars
OK = 2 Stars
Eh = 1 Star


NICEST THING

All I know is that you're so nice
You're the nicest thing I've seen
I wish that we could give it a go
See if we could be something

I wish I was your favourite girl
I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world
I wish my smile was your favourite kind of smile
I wish the way that I dressed was your favourite kind of style
I wish you couldn't figure me out
But you always wanna know what I was about
I wish you'd hold my hand when I was upset
I wish you'd never forget the look on my face when we first met

I wish you had a favourite beauty spot that you loved secretly
'Cause it was on a hidden bit that nobody else could see
Basically, I wish that you loved me
I wish that you needed me
I wish that you knew when I said two sugars
Actually, I meant three

I wish that without me your heart would break
I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake
I wish that without me you couldn't eat
I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep

All I know
Is that you're the nicest thing I've ever seen
I wish that we could see
If we could be something


THE MOST EPIC MOMENT OF LATE NIGHT TELEVISION!!

OK, maybe not THE most epic, but pretty awesome.

Robert is currently on the promotion circuit for his new film Remember Me.  He finally decided to do the late night circuit (unlike during New Moon where Kristen & Taylor did the shows).  I'm so happy he decided to do Jimmy Fallon and The Daily Show, along with every other daytime or late night show.  Those two are my favorite.  In fact, I am super jealous of my friend, @megurbani who will see Rob at The Daily Show taping today.

I think Jimmy seemed a little nervous doing his "Bothered" skit knowing that the inspiration for it was sitting in the same tree as him.  I actually think Jimmy's accent even faltered a little bit. Seeing Rob do this skit really makes me wish he'd host SNL and be the musical guest too. Crossing my fingers!

Here are some bands/artists I would like to see. 

This list includes bands that are possible to see live, but also includes those that are impossible to see live (breakups, deaths, years I wanted to see them, etc.). 

The list will be updated when I think of more bands.

Regular text = Possible
Italicized = Impossible through break-up, death, or wrong decade

I know there are many bands I have forgotten that I have seen over the years, but here is what I remember, plus new stuff.  This entry will get updated every time I see more bands.

ITALICIZED = Kenny Crucial attended (started tracking 2009)

I am the laziest blogger on Earth

To Blog or Not To Blog.jpg
Source: Unknown

Seriously, I have all these ideas in my head that I think would be great, but then real life takes over and I never get to any of them to the point where if I DID actually start, I'd be so far behind I won't do it. Such a blogging conundrum.  But I really want to try to be a better, more regular, blogger.

Here are my ideas for regular segments on the blog:
  • Continue my regular entry updates for fanfics - rated, reading now, to-read, etc.
  • Restart my concert reviews (starting with The English Beat/Fishbone show I saw on Friday)
  • Start a new segment for reviewing the fanfics I have finished reading so people actually know WHY I rated them the way I did
  • Start a new segment for highlighting a song a week whether it is for the song itself, its lyrics, or because it spoke to me that week
  • Start a new segment reviewing new music I have bought
  • Restart my SYTYCD blogging when Season 7 starts in May.
Now I don't want to be one of those generic blog sites that all have the same new hipster information.  Really, I didn't start this because I wanted to become famous (although I love seeing that someone has found me).  I blog because I sometimes have thoughts in my head that I want to get out.  I like to just be honest and write about things that speak to me or my passions. 

So, let's see if I can drag myself away from reading Twilight fanfic long enough to make these aspirations come true.  =)

Dancing Devo

| 1 Comment

As many of you know, my sister auditioned for SYTYCD three seasons ago and they actually showed her audition on TV.  I'm sure she was shown mostly for the comic relief of her standing while Pat Benatar's 'Barracuda' roared over the speakers and her not dancing.  Well, she didn't dance because that wasn't her song and in competition etiquette, you stand politely until someone figures out that isn't your music. 

However, she was also shown because she's a great dancer.  SYTYCD may not be her venue, but her talent will take her far in whatever she chooses to do. 

This audition was shown first for the whole season which also garnered her a lot of attention the night it aired.  I am also posting the whole performance with the music she actually performed to when she auditioned (yes, SYTYCD does change music when your music doesn't clear).



You can see more of her videos (dancing or concert videos) on her YouTube Page.

I never posted this before because YouTube has muted her video last year. Yesterday I figured out the audio was back and decided to share the video with everyone.


Organizing the fanfics - Pt 2

| No Comments
Twilight-drawn anime style.jpgSo I created an ongoing entry to keep all my fanfics organized, but even that seems to be becoming overdone.  I'm trying to decide how I really want to organize everything within this blog without it getting confusing for anyone to find what they're looking for.

Ideas:
-Continue as I have been
-Create duplicate entries of the same info, just updated
-Keep separate lists for the things I've read and "rated" versus what is on my To-Read list
-Write reviews for the things I just finished to coincide with the rating I have given it (but only if they are completed).

It'll probably be a work in progress until I figure it out.

Twilight fan art
I have mentioned I liked Fanfiction before when talking about my obsession with Vampire Knight, but somehow I have now entered into an entirely different world.  I have all but abandoned my poor Zero & Kaname yaoi and have fallen madly in love with Twilight Fanfiction.

Now, I first heard about Fanfiction at Dragon*Con 2008 during a Twilight panel when I heard there were non "fade to black" Isle Esme Honeymoon stories that were pretty hot.  I found some, but never knew how many stories truly existed.

It wasn't until I was following Twighlight-Headed on Twitter and their blog where Meadow Cliffdiver gave weekly fanfiction recommendations.  I took notice one day with a story called Wide Awake and I realized these authors are no joke.  They all have potential to be professional writers, yet they share their passion and talent with the world for free.  It's really a gift and I am grateful for their imagination and story telling skills.

Similarities about the Fanfiction authors that I like:
  1. All LOVE Twilight
  2. All LOVE the lemons, smut, yaoi, slash, peen, sexy hotness
  3. Mostly all are female, but don't expect sappy happy chicklit. 

This blog entry will be used to keep track of stories I have read or want to read.  I will add the plot summaries for the ones I have read.  You'll figure out which ones I loved, versus liked a lot, versus the ones that I liked. *Note* I am not including one-shots in this list at this time due to the great number of chapter stories available.

***Please see new entry tracking the Twilight Fanfic stories I have read, rated, & will read.  I have discontinued this entry in lieu of the new one.

We got a nook

We named it Shnookie

We are already fighting over ownership of Shnookie

Good thing we know how to share (maybe)

How will an eReader change our lives?

Hmmm, let me count the ways...
