Tee hee hee & YUM

Cuuuuuuuute!

Squeed like a 13 yo fangirl when they did this. Yeah. I'll admit it.

I'm late with these, but I just think they are really cute & funny, so they're getting shared with you. I grabbed them from LTT or LTR (can't remember which) and I think they grabbed from ROBsessed. Want to give credit where credit is due...I just can't remember where exactly that is. :-P Enjoy! You can head over to MTV.com to see lots o' clips from the awards. Some funny moments that are necessary to watch over. And over. And over, again. :-)

Oh, and enjoy these, too. ;-)

Best. Profile. EVER.

One for the "PRO" column

I didn't deviate too far from the Twilight, now did I? Haha. Ok, I just watched this over at the Forum, so I had to post b/c it dovetails quite nicely with my post earlier on Kristen. They're people who worked on The Cake Eaters giving some really nice interviews on why Kristen is so amazing! I knew that! I have yet to see the movie, but it's sitting in my Netflix Queue.

I Am Not Dead

Just wanted to pop onto, um, my own blog for once to let people know: I'm Not Dead. I've just been busy being involved in the Twi-sites of late. And I don't think you want me posting all about Twilight and the actors and the movies, etc. You can clicky on one of the Twi-links I have at right ---------> for all that shite.

Just want to say, I heart my followers. Some are from the fashiony blogs I visit, like JCrew Aficionada, that I've been neglecting of late. I sorry! I suggest you check out Twilight so you know what all the fuss is about and then join in on the fun. Then you can head on over to the LTT/LTR Forum. Forums are fun. The LTT/LTR Forum is the funnest! Join it! You'll lots of stuff, like this and this, over there. Ahem, yeah.

So I've made a few purchases of late. Anthropologie, of course! I'll be posting reviews of the items this weekend, I think. We are throwing a house party, and it is Mother's Day, but I'll squeeze in the time for you! And maybe, just maybe, I'll get some eBay items up. Been sorting through all my shtuff and realized I have some nice pieces from Anthro that just don't fit me anymore and were worn maybe a handful of times. You are so lucky!

Oh, and the little bro, aka Army Brat, is home on pre-deployment leave so I'm also spending some QT with him before he leaves, for a year. *cries* He has a lovely little blog that he's started as a way to keep all his peeps informed while he's away. It'll be updated when he can and has internet access over there. Check out The Many Musings of The Moshi. It'll add to your life. Srsly.

Marti signing off for now.

I heart your faces!

Here's a pic of my kitty to make you giggle. He's so EFing weird.

New Girl Crush: Kristen Stewart

So, must forewarn all that I am kinda hyped up right now. I just saw Adventureland with some friends and it was really so much better that I was expecting. I knew I heard good things, but I wasn't sure what to expect. I know I wanted to see it more because of Kristen Stewart. Of course, that could be because of my new found infatuation with Twilight. Quite possibly. However! I have heard great things about Ms. Stewart long before Twilight, so I had a feeling I'd see a great performance. She did not disappoint. The entire movie is one of those movies you walk away from going, "Wow. Now this is why I love movies. This is the feeling I love to have when I've just seen something great."

Seriously.

Everyone in the film was great. It made me nostalgic for that time of my youth: the 80's. It was laugh out loud funny at many parts. And the performances rocked. I have no doubt that Kristen will be able to pull off the emotional turmoil needed for Bella in New Moon. I kinda already knew that knowing what I knew about the the types of roles Kristen has taken and likes to take. She truly is an amazing talent that I'm excited to see for many years (The girl just turned 19 yesterday. Still a baby!) It makes me even more excited. I actually want to rewatch Adventureland right now. So, please, go see it! You will have a blast.

On that note, welcome, Kristen. You are now holding the #1 position on my girl crush list. (And isn't it funny that most, if not all, of my girl crushes are fair-skinned, light-eyed, and brownish-reddish-haired. Yeah. My friend (Kristen, hehe) and I realized this about our lists tonight. And this could be why I keep wanting to dye my hair to that color and my stylist keeps telling me she won't do it. And now I reeeealllly want to! Gah!).

Go see Adventureland.

A Note On...My Sanity

Yeah, Hi.


So I said I'd be better and I haven't been. Seriously, ever been totally consumed with something and just cannot focus on much else? Well, that's been me for the past couple weeks. An innocent viewing of a movie turned into a obsession I haven't had to this degree since Dawson's Creek. Yeah, I know. That was pretty bad. Watching the show religiously, but it was the online involvement that turned my head inside out. Me, when I get obsessive, I look for anything and everything related to my obsession. Dawson's entailed me habitually visiting certain fan sites and message boards and reading fanfic with a voracious appetite that would not dissipate. It's all consuming, this kind of obsessive state of mind. My brother's laughing, but I really think he's concerned for my mental state at the moment, haha. And I know myself. This thing that's taken over has already dwindled a bit since I've just finished reading the books (So sad! It feels like Harry Potter all over again...), so I know I'm on my way to re-establishing normalcy in my routine. It didn't help that this hit at the same time that is the busiest time at work for me. Nuts!


On the flip side, isn't it great to be so involved, so passionate or focused on something and be that dedicated? I do. I just have a hard time finding the balance. I can look forward to obsessing for the next couple years until all the rest of the movies come out (New Moon out in Nov.; Eclipse set for next summer; no news on Breaking Dawn but, really, they can't not do that movie). Want to hear nuts? I already own the 2-disc DVD, but discovered a set of special feature videos on You Tube that I couldn't understand why I didn't have. Well, stupid me, I guess there's a special edition 3-disc set only at Target. I discovered this one night. So what do I do? I hit Target before work the next day to make sure I get a copy. Yeah, brother Pete was looking at me funny when I made my discovery and told of my plans. Yahuh.


So I did a vampire double-feature with a friend last weekend since she's never seen Twilight (I ended up giving her the 1st copy that I bought. Aren't I generous?). And so I added Let the Right One In into our night to make it so. A Swedish flick about a pre-teen vampire girl and the boy who befriends her. Wow. It was amazing. Some of the best cinematography I've seen. Prolly should have watched Twilight after it instead of the way we did it. A lot more creepy and gory than Twilight.


And I just got a set of books by another author I like, and these just so happen to be about vampires (not that I'll be reading them right now as I'm still in a hard-core Twi-mode. Re-reading the books. Yup).


I tell ya, vampires are on the brain right now! And it's all a total coincidence! I swear!


So, I hope I haven't scared anyone off. I have a feeling my blog friends will totally understand me, right? Right?! We all have our little obsessions and quirks. Heck, that's why most of us start these blog things anyway (here I steer you over to JCrew Aficionada and Effortless Anthropologie, for example; blogs about stores we love so much we blog about them daily; see what I mean?). Now, if anyone wants to come out of the "closet" about being a Twi-fan, I'm here to support you. And please know, I am NOT one of those crazed twi-hard fanatics doing ridiculously stupid things to make the rest of us 2nd-hand embarassed. Ugh. I shudder at that. If you want to have a pee-in-your-pants good read about anything Twilight related, head over to the Letters to Twilight blog run by some fabulous girls. It feels like home there right now, haha. We know we get a little nuts, but we're able to poke fun at ourselves at the same time. See the banner at right ------>. They also run Letters to Rob. Oh, and I discovered Lauren's Bite through LTT. The girl is hilariously funny. Especially with her misadventures of Pocket Edward posts. Although, he seems to be missing at the moment. Taken hostage. No joke. Read here.


So, I promise this blog will not turn into a Twilight only blog. I have many other things to write and obsess about. It's just, that's where my mind is right now, so you'll have to bear with me. And if you haven't discovered the amazingness that is Twilight, what are you waiting for? I'll be waiting with open arms to discuss it all when you are caught up. Hell, I've already converted THREE of my peeps. Yup. I AM the Master Manipulator. Really, they just knew attempts at resistence were futile. So now I have peeps in the real world to discuss all things Twilight rather than just my blog friends, haha.

I leave you with this...

Only 225 Days until New Moon!

Editor's Note:

I just got GQ today, the one with Rob on the cover. And I just finished reading the article. It made me feel a bit depressed. Seriously, I feel kinda bad for the guy. But I prolly shouldn't. What do you think? Have you read it? Do you share my feelings?

I'm Back!

Hi Hi!

I know, I haven't posted in almost a month. Internet's been on the fritz at home and I just wasn't inspired to write anything recently. Too distracted. Promise I'll be better. I'll be posting some more eBay items for auction prolly this weekend. Sure to be some Anthropologie in there. Can you guess what my current distraction is? Weeeell, the DVD just got released. I watched this movie over the weekend and am now in full-on obsession mode. Can you guess? YUP! It's Twilight!! Haha. I now own the film and am soon to own the books. I got the hardcover set of all 4 books coming from Barnes & Noble. Yeah, that and the eBay auction prepping is what I'll be doing this weekend. Fun times! Here's a few lovely pics from the Vanity Fair shoot that never made it to print in the mag. Enjoy!
