Just Because I'm Not Here Doesn't Mean I Don't Love You...OR Rob.

I'm making a conscious attempt to come back to blogging.  I miss it SOOOOO much and I miss interacting with everyone.  I've posted a couple of times over on my personal blog this week, so I thought it was time to post a little sumthin' sumthin' over here.

Although, I've been MIA for a few months, it doesn't mean I don't love you guys...or Rob...or Twilight.  If we follow each other on Twitter (which I hope we do), you know that my love still stands. 

Back in October, my big boss, The Gray-Heard Fox, made our whole office switch over to one gigantic server.  As an increased safety measure, he had some new software installed that essentially can track when you're on the Internet and WHERE you're at while you're there.  SUCKS.  Big stinky hairy balls.  I have always done the majority of my blogging from work, so this newly installed "Internet babysitting" put a kink in my schedule.

However, it just makes me TOO sad to stop by this blog or my personal one and feel like I've abandoned them.  If you're a blogger, you know that your blog feels like your personal space...kinda like you're "baby".  You start them and nurture them and watch them grow.  Sorta.  So, I'm going to try to blog more frequently...at least occasionally.

Who's stoked for BD1 on DVD/Blu-Ray next Friday?!?!  WHUT?! WHUT?!  I can BELIEVE that Summit is giving us the DVD already.  What has come over them?  They're never this nice to us.  I'm feeling suspicious.  But I'll take what they give me.  I'm still pissed that there are no reported "commen-tree" on the extras.  That is what MADE the Eclipse DVD.  I've watched it more than the movie.

So, where are you buying your DVD/Blu-Ray?  What's the extra and/or freebie you're wanting the most?

Jiff and I are heading over to Hastings for our Blu-Ray and we're getting some cute BD1 luggage tags!  Then we're probably buying our DVD from Wal-Mart for their Wedding Dress cover...and I think I heard you get a poster or something like that. 

You can check out BreakingDawn-TheMovie.com to find a midnight release party closest to you!

Love you guys like a back-alley whore loves crack.

Twilight Tuesdays

Summit is doing us a kindness and they are going to re-release Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse one night each during the month of November!  They will play in theaters across the country starting on November 1st, with added bonus features such as; behind the scenes footage, comic con footage, and interviews with the cast!!

I'm kinda stoked for the Twilight Tuesday events. It's been a long time since I saw Twilight at the theaters (6 times). Almost 3 years ago...where has the time gone?

Oh, right. Fangirling. Obsessing. Drooling over The Precious.

Time well spent, if you ask me.

I don't know about you, but I'm not ready for this ride to be over...I'd sign up for another 3 years.

Where do I re-enlist?

Check your local theaters (through Fandango, possibly) and see if they are playing at a theater near you!

#FORKS2011 - PSA

As I'm sorting through my 569 photos of my #FORKS2011 trip, I'm trying to decide how to post them and give you guys the full story without boring you to death with a major pic spam. So, I've decided to break them up into several blog posts. This first one consists of pictures from my iPhone. We all know that the real story is on the iPhone. You take pics with your iPhone (or other smart phone) that you wouldn't/didn't/shouldn't/couldn't take with your regular camera.

Think of these next few pictures as my personal Public Service Announcement for traveling to Forks. 

Plan to *squeeeeee* a lot at road signs.  I don't know what it is...just the tangible fact that you're in the land of Twitardia or what, but it initiates this frenzy...you really lose all control.

Go to Sully's.  They give you fangs with your Bella Burger and/or your Twilight Punch.  BUT be careful.  Fangs lead to hours of ridiculousness...and you could get black listed at Sully's.  I'm guess mine and Jiff's names are on there..."those that shall never be allowed to dine here again...from henceforth..." or something like that.

Frisking is what?  Good.  Right.  Do it.  LOTS.  And document it.  You'll thank yourself later.  And the weird dude in the parking lot will thank you too.  I was wondering if perhaps they have a surveillance camera set up to catch all the shenanigans that take place in the parking lot of the Forks Chamber of Commerce?

Go to the Cullen House...right next door to the Chamber of Commerce, if for nothing else than to participate in more shenanigans in Carlisle's Office...and take cheesy pictures in front of the graduation caps.  And the dude that runs the joint is really nice...and they have a pretty white kitty (so, heads up if you're allergic).

EVERYONE capitalizes on Steph's little story...and I mean EVERYONE...from the Forks Hospital to the little shack that sells firewood on your way out of town (Twilight Firewood...really?!  I highly doubt it was called that prior to 2008.)

Re-enact as many scenes as possible.  Come on.  When else will you be able to just walk to the edge of a forest with a cardboard Edward and say "say it...out loud" and your friends just laugh hysterically with you?!  Let me tell you.  NEVER.  So, take advantage of your location.

(while watching Twilight in our motel room that morning, we decided that this is how the "Distract Me" scene should have went down.)

If you run across a wooden lumberjack in the Forks Motel parking lot, it is NOT mounted properly.  Leg hitch with caution...especially while intoxicated.

Don't poop in The Hoh.  It's frowned upon.

Wherever you are...driving down the 101, venturing out into the Olympic National Forest, cruising through La Push...HONK FOR DEER. It's crucial.

We've found that they are quite lethargic and just asking to be hit.  So, do your good deed for the day and save a deers life.  It could be Edward's next meal.

This concludes my PSA for today.

No Pocket Edwards or deer were harmed during these events.  However,  a wooden lumberjack may be a tad bit more unstable.

#FORKS2011 - This Is How We Do It

I don't think a lot of introduction is needed here. I went to Forks with a bunch of awesome people, the most awesomest being my roomies, Jiff and Michelle.

These are some of our adventures in the PNW.



I'll be back soon with a crap load of pics and my #FORKS2011flashbacks. I've got travel tips, insider info, and a few things you do NOT want to miss while you're there!

Hope you guys are having a great week!! *MUAH*

#Forks2011 Countdown

Last year, about this time, I was absolutely devestated.  A bunch of REALLY cool people (aka Twitarded) who I had just met were planning this REALLY cool trip to a place I REALLY wanted to visit.  It just didn't seem fair.  Why couldn't I have found out about #FORKS2010 earlier...why couldn't I just drop everything and fly to Seattle...why couldn't I have my own pilgrimage to the Promise Land??  Why, why, why??  It felt like I was always living vicariously through people.

Well, that was last year.  Now, it's like Rob smiled down on me...and all of my Twilight stars lined up...and I rubbed the sparkle p33n and got like 3 vampire wishes or something...'cause I'm going this time.

I finally get to make the trek to the mecca...and it's only 15 days away!!!  15 days until Jiff and I hop on a jet plane.  15 days until we FINALLY get to meet @allthingsHHH in person...for realz...and then we'll be RL friends and force her to be Facebook friends with us.  15 days until I get to tackle hug @amandakmelby.  15 days until we're living it up in Seattle! That's like roughly 360 hours...it's 16 sleeps...only 2 more Mondays...not that I'm counting or anything.

I swear (sorta, ok not really) that I'm going to try to be on my best behavior good semi-good stay outta jail, but just in case, could we start a Pay Pal button for bail money? 

Don't forget that if you want a post card from Forks, all you have to do is email me your addy (jennykate77@gmail.com or trixieandtess@yahoo.com ) and I'll send you one while I'm there!

Love you guys like a pimp loves hoes.

Tess Vlogs: FOOOORKS!, EW, and FF

Before you start yelling at me through the computer screen, after having a good night's sleep and plenty of coffee this morning, I know that I read FRIDAY'S AT NOON and ONCE UPON A SATURDAY last week.  I'm not a complete moron.  I swear.  I just come across that way on camera...and it adds 10lbs...and bad hair and pimples, no wait, I blame that on Aunt Flo.

So, here's a few links (title and author are linked, just click on the names) :

RaW = Righteous and Wicked by cherry.blossomz
Fridays at Noon by troublefollows1
Once Upon a Saturday by troublefollows1
The Weight of Words by georgiegirl
Somewhere Only We Know by @Suzie55 (I recommend EVERYTHING she's written!)
Animate Me by @abstractway

I hope this vlog doesn't keep us from being friends.  I would like to say I'm not that annoying in person, but it's not true.  And I can't lie.  You go to Coweta for lying and I hate that place.

Here's a few reminders:
-Send your snail mail addy to me at trixieandtess(at)yahoo(dot)com or jennykate77(at)gmail(dot)com, if you want a postcard from Forks.
-Comment on this post letting me know, if you want a chance at winning an EW w/ the Breaking Dawn cover!

Rob Won An Adidas Sweepstakes

So, earlier this week Rob and Sam were seen around LA buying groceries...and apparently, Rob won an Adidas Sweepstakes or he has a new obsession for all things Adidas.  Something like that, because he was decked out from head to toe in Adidas.  No complaints from me.  He could wear Hammer pants for all I care.

(Pics from Robstenation)

His new Adidas wardrobe could also be courtesy of the Teen Choice Awards...they might have provided the swag bags?

Rob still had wonky hair at the Teen ...but it doesn't really matter.  I could stare at that face all day (and all night...above me or below me, I'm an equal opportunity kinda girl.)

Hello, handsome.

Gah, how does Kristen survive that on a regular basis?

Kills me *ded*.

I'm going to do a vlog this weekend and post it next week.  I have a little project I want to do for Forks and some Fan Fic to discuss.  So, that'll be up on Monday or Tuesday...and possibly a little giveaway, if any of you lovelies are interested??  Hmmm??

Tell me what Fic you're reading right now.

Also, what are you top 3 Fics of all time?

Hope you girls have a great weekend!! *muah*
