WARNING!!!!!! IF YOU ARE LAUREN, DON'T READ THIS POST UNTIL YOU HAVE FINISHED READING 'NEW MOON'!!!!!!!! *SPOILERS* BEWARE!!!!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------
Greetings,
It is 4:36 am on Tuesday, September 19, 2006. I have finished the second book..........!!!!!!!!!!! It was so different from the first!!!! Before these 2 books I had never really been interested in books(Harry potter doesn't count), like my moms librarian gene skipped me. But now I can't get enough. I have figured out how to get myself interested in a book (incase shanna-kaye wants to know.......... Lauren already figured it out), I have to be able to find myself in the book. Does that make any since...... It really struck a chord about how much of myself I saw in the character Bella. I don't even think my mom or Lauren has any idea. It is truly scary.
(WARNING!! IF YOU WERE SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT READING THE BOOK DON'T READ THE REST OF THIS! I REALLY WANT TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THE BOOKS RIGHT NOW, SO I GUESS IT WASN'T A GOOD IDEA TO FINISH THE BOOK AT 4:00 IN THE MORNING!!!!)

Well, I'm not going to go into great detail about all the similarities, because, frankly, I am rarely that open.
So, The first book was all about meeting the Cullens (*EDWARD*), well let me backtrack. You see, She was going to Forks, Washington. Because her mom lived in phoenix, but got remarried and well basically Bella thought it would be better if she went to live with her dad. She goes to a new school and............ I'm sorry. I am sooooooo tired, I can barley think straight. And I really don't feel the need to explain the whole first book in detail. I don't think my fingers could take all the typing.... But, if that's what you want then either READ THE BOOK or call me. But anyway, what I really wanted to get to was the second book.
Let me just start by saying I don't cry much. I rarely cry at movies, it always catches me by surprise when it happens that way. Unlike my mother, who sometimes even cries at commercials....... Well I haven't really cried... For a book... Not like this......... I probably cried some when I was reading the Harry potter books, if I have I don't remember. But I always knew there was another book coming, so that didn't scare me as much as these books have. J.K. Roalling is a writer, but Stephenie Meyer just has something that makes you aware of all the possibilities at once......... Did I lose you? hehehe. I can hear Ryan now "Focus, ADD Children!" hehehe
Anyway, I was so shocked by the end of chapter 4, not just because of what, or why the book took this turn but, by how much I had cried. )What happened was that the author made you love characters so much and then half of them are gone, it was just........ Cold.) Edward Left Bella, that's what happened. (ADD Speaking: ugh, it's 5:10 in the morning) But since I was thinking my self as Bella, he left me.......... It was amazing, now that think about it because it hurt me soooo much. I guess I preferred a different life. Something like what Bella had with Edward, but I know that it is just a book, and not real. But I kind of want those problems. I know this isn't making much since, but (and I quote the book) 'love doesn't make since'. Ok, that was vague I know.
I think I'll stop now, before I regret being this open and this confusing. I am very interested to hear back from you guys, on if I should continue down this path about the books or if I am crazy and need a shrink or if I don't need to be saying these things on the internet at 5:26 am. Hopefully you wont chose the 2nd option, I don't need a shrink anymore. hehehe, but lets not open that can of worms either, shall we. I think I have done enough damage for my life time. (or at lease the rest of this week.)

DARTH BLUEJAY
(p.s. I forgot to tell you what the books are called, I just assumed you could read my mind...hehehe (inside joke). The first book is called'Twilight', the second book is called 'New Moon'. )

This post is for Lauren.
She gave me a book to read about a week ago, and that's all she said about so I just left it in the car with out looking at it twice. I am not a book reader, so if you want me to read a book you have to get me hooked on it first. But since she didn't want to tell me anything about it, I didn't bother reading it. When I saw her Sunday and Wednesday, she wanted to know if I had read the book, I said no, she said she was disappointed, bla bla bla..... Anyway she made me go out to the car where I hadn't moved it (She is a very good guesser), and she made me read the back...
It said:

"About three things I was absolutely positive.

First, Edward was a vampire.

Second, There was a part of him - and I didn't know how dominant that part might be - that thirsted for my blood.

And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him."

The book had me at 'was a vampire'. (Lauren is telling me now to put 'I was wrong, Lauren was right...) The book is called 'Twilight' by Stephenie Meyer, anyway its basically a teen, romance, vampire book. AND I LOVE EVERY WORD OF IT!!
When I got home yesterday I finished the movie Timeline, with the sense that I should be reading that book, but I still didn't really want to because, as I said before, I am not a book person. Well it was about 1:26 am and I wasn't really tired (or that's what I was telling myself), so I started on the first chapter kind of excited about the vampire thing but not about the whole book reading thing.
But I turned off my light and turned on the blue rope lights I had hanging from my ceiling, so that my parents would think I was asleep. I loved the book right away, mostly because I kind of identified with 'Bella' (the main character), in more ways than one.
I think that what you have to do to fully enjoy a book, you know imagined it, like you have to be in the story to picture it. Or at least that's what I have to do. But anyway I stayed up all night and took and small 2 hour nap in the after noon, but you could round up the hour I spent on that book to about 14 hours, I just finished.
Well anyway to the point which is that this email is for Lauren, I was looking around to see if there was a second book (There is YAY!!!), and I found out that they want to make a movie!!!!! I think that is soooooooo cool! Because when I first started reading Twilight, I couldn't think of anyone who would be good enough to be Edward through my eyes. Then I thought about Stuart Townsend. But I decided the more I read the book that he wasn't right. But anyway, on the authors web site she gave a list on who she thinks should play who. I was on the phone with Lauren so she didn't see any of the pictures so I want to post them her for her.
You can ignore this post if you want to. (I guess its a little late to say that.)

So, here are my favorite actors and actresses for the cast of Twilight:

Edward: Indisputably the most difficult character to cast, Edward is also the one that I'm most passionately decided upon. The only actor I've ever seen who I think could come close to pulling off Edward Cullen is....(drumroll)....

Henry Cavill
(Annie speaking: I don't like nim for the role.)
(Henry was Albert, the young son in The Count of Monte Cristo.)Can you see it? I know I can!

Bella: My narrator is actually surprisingly easy. there are several people that I think could do a decent job with Bella, Ellen Page and Danielle Panabaker among others. Right now my favorite choice is Emily Browning, of Lemony Snicket's fame:
(Annie speaking: I don't like her for the role.)

Though I would be happy with several possibilities for Bella, I will throw myself off a tall building if they cast some lip synching, popstar-slash-actress in the role. Just FYI.

Carlisle: Second only to Edward on my "passionately decided" list is Carlisle's character. My favorite: Charlie Hunnam. The reason this actor was able to get such a hold on me was his work as the title character in Nicholas Nickleby. He pretty much was Carlisle in that movie.
Charlie: There are tiers to the Charlie wish list. At the very top is John C. Reilly, the Oscar winner. Yeah, not likely, I know. But he would be so perfect:
(Annie Speaking: Not really what I pictured. lauren and I thought of Harrison Ford)

Other options include Vince Vaughn (give it a minute...picture him with a few extra pounds and a receding hair line...can you see it?) and a more likely chance would be Adam LeFevre (I know him as Damon Bradley in Only You).

Alice: The only actress that springs immediately to mind is Rachel Leigh Cook.
(Annie Speaking: I totally agree.)

James: Ah, James! This is one of the most fun to cast. I started out leaning toward Joshua Jackson, who could do a fantastic job (and I still love you, Joshua!), but then I saw Cillian Murphy in Batman Begins. Cillian Murphy!!!

(Annie Speaking: Lauren loves this choice.)

This is the point at which my opinions become less urgent. I'm still up in the air about the rest of them. I did see one actor who caught my eye for an Emmett-type...

Emmett: Daniel Cudmore, X-Men's Colossus.

Rosalie: I didn't find an actress that looked like Rosalie to me, but I did find a model...Joanna Krupa. And hey, don't all models want to be actresses?

Laurent: Do you think John Stamos would mind doing a cameo? And Graham Greene seems like a natural for Billy, if Billy's character makes it into the movie...

Thank you everyone for your suggestions about who you would like to see in Twilight! Here are some of your suggestions-the most popular, and the ones that I liked the best:
(Annie Speaking: The stars will be my rating.1 to 5)
Most Popular Edward Suggestions: (in order or popularity)

Hayden Christensen ***** (Annie Speaking: Hes got my vote!)
Robert Pattison ***
Orlando Bloom **** (Annie Speaking: Close, very close. He is to old though)
Gerard Way ** (Annie Speaking: To goth/weird/feminine...)

My Favorite Edward Suggestions:(based on looks alone, rather than acting ability, which is much more important, really. Isn't it wonderful that Henry Cavill can act?)

Mike Vogel **** (Annie Speaking: Blond, his only flaw...)
Drew Fuller ***
Hugh Dancy ***
Jackson Rathbone *

Most Popular Bella Suggestions:

Alexis Bledel* (Annie Speaking: NO)
Rachel McAdams *
Anna Paquin ***
My Favorite Bella Suggestion:
Danielle Panabaker ***** (Annie Speaking: She could do it)

Already on my personal list. she was great in Sky High

Most Popular Jasper Suggestions:

Shawn Ashmore **
Ian Somerhalder ****
(Annie Speaking: Lauren said she thought Reagan would be good in this role)
My Favorite Jasper Suggestions:

Trent Ford ***

Calum Best **

My Favorite Charlie Suggestion:
Dennis Quaid ***

My Favorite Rosalie Suggestion:
Olivia Wilde ***

My Favorite Esme Suggestions:
Mary-Louise Parker ****

And finally, I found my favorite Jacob Black, though he's a New Moon - aged Jacob (which means he'd be way, way too old to ever play Jacob if they ever made New Moon into a movie. Sigh. This is sort of what Jacob looks like in my head, though.)
Steven Strait ***** (Annie Speaking: I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!)

I hope you all enjoyed that as mush as I (and I suspect Lauren) have.

Till next time (or at least the next book)
Goodbye
(Be Safe)

Why Go To Church?

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all."This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor.
It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this.. They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!" When you are DOWN to nothing.... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!

Tragic Loss of Steve Irwin, 44

Steve Irwin, the Australian television personality and conservationist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray while filming off the Great Barrier Reef. He was 44.
Irwin was at Batt Reef, off the remote coast of northeastern Queensland state, shooting a segment for a series called "Ocean's Deadliest" when he swam too close to one of the stingrays, which have a poisonous barb on their tails, said his colleague, John Stainton.
"He came on top of the stingray and the stingray's barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart," said Stainton, who was on board Irwin's boat at the time.
Crew members aboard the boat, Croc One, called emergency services in the nearest city, Cairns, and administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation as they rushed Irwin to nearby Low Isle to meet a rescue helicopter. Medical workers pronounced Irwin dead when they arrived a short time later.

Irwin, who was was born in Victoria in 1962, inherited his love of reptiles from his father.His father Bob was a keen reptile enthusiast and moved the family to Queensland in 1970 to open a small reptile park on the Sunshine Coast. Irwin took over the family business in 1991 and grew it into Australia Zoo. In 1992 he ventured into television, making the first series of the Crocodile Hunter. When the program aired in the United States, he shot to international fame. Irwin is survived by his wife Terri, daughter Bindi Sue (8) and son Bob (2).

Steve Irwin is the best-known wildlife crusader in the world today. As the Crocodile Hunter, Steve has become a household name and his television adventures are seen by more than 200 million viewers in 120 countries around the globe. He's starred in his first movie for the big screen, The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course, and has also appeared on such popular television talk shows as Regis and Kelly, Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show, Larry King Live and Oprah.

Well,
I called John again and talk to him about what kind of guitarist they needed, What was his reason to start a band, What kind of music they played, etc...... Well it just wasn't what i was looking for. His reason for starting a band was the fame and fortune, and that he wanted to be the only successful person in his family. That's not why I want to get in to music.I mean it's not a bad thing to get money and stuff but I think it should be about the music. (I know it sounds lame....) But it's true. From what i can tell Rock is dead. All of the punk and goth and emo stuff that bands are playing today is not rock..... It's too morbid and just depressing. When was the last time we heard a song about Rock and Roll.
1989- You Can Still Rock In America- Night Ranger
1981- And The Cradle Will Rock... - Van Halen
1992- God Gave Rock And Roll To You- Kiss
1997- I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night- Kiss
1983- Rock of Ages- Def Leppard
1991- We Will Rock You- Queen
1981- I Love Rock and Roll- Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
I have to say, not in a long while. That is what I want to do with my music. Bring back the rock and roll.

(p.s. This is my 100th post!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!)

Hi,
Lauren was telling me wednesday about all of these cute guys at her school, and one of them was a drummer, thats all I remeber about that. But anyway, I got a call about 10-ish. (I was still asleep!) My phone rang like it was a wrong number so I let it go, then 5 min. later it rang again. So I picked it up and said
'Hello'. The other voice said
'Hi, This is John.'
Me:'I think you have the wrong number'
John: 'Is this Annie?'
Me: 'Yes'
John: 'Then I don't have the wrong number'
Me: 'um... How do I know you?'
John: 'I go to school with lauren.'
Me: 'oh'
John: 'She said you are an excellent guitar player, I am starting a band called Hymns of Chaos. If you wanted to try out we are haveing auditions tomorrow. It's at the drummers house. (I forgot his name) '
Me: 'Well I have only been playing for a year and i'm not great yet...'
John: 'Lauren told me you were a great guitar player'
Me: 'Lauren doesn't play guitar, and I don't think I'm ready to be in a band right now.'
John: 'Well if you change your mind, call me.'
Me: 'Ok'

(later I checked my phone and lauren sent me a text message saying that she got me a band....) Well, That is why i have to kill lauren.
