Good morning everyone. Again thanks for this great calendar. It brightens up the day. Just realized how close we are to The Rover which means Rob should be making his way down under soon. YYAAAAYYYYYYY Now off to work. I'll catch up with voting tonight.
Me2...it seems like it's always something, although, I've noticed neither one of us is givin up on our ROBsession *wink* and yes...Baby is very beautiful *shallow breathing*
Helloooo :-) Haven't spoken for a while. I am so glad you are enjoying it....you never know when you recommend a book that it will suit that person. I loved it and couldn't put it down. Went and bought the sequel before I finished it. Shadow of Night is slightly harder to get in to but them really good too. I love the fact that the author is a historian. If ever Rob feels like playing a vampire again this would do nicely don't you think??? So much to Matthews character and history :-)
hello to you, think i have just missed your posts. been looking out for one! :) i go to bed and there are only a few comments and come back the next day and there are a few hundred!! will def get the next book. this one did interest me from the beginning so thanks for the heads up on the next one. looking for a christmas rob avi, i like lyns hat one. have a few on my phone from last year but trying not to have to download onto computer so will persevere. how are things with you?
Hello guys. I know this is slightly off topic or rather v.ery off topiic. It more or less has nothing to do with rob but I want to say it anyway I want to share bc I'm afraid I might be get the wrong idea elsewhere. I was looking at a very interesting article about young addult teen books as we know creating such a big impact on hollywood and why people rush them to be movies. They mentioned a variety of examples that have been and are and will be movies such as our beloved twilight of course. Then hunger games mortal instruments beautiful creatures and others. The article poitnts out and asks what is it about them that is so attractive to the younger and sometimes older demographic. Why do they exist? What is it doing to our generation of youngsters? Well at somepoint the asshole exagerated a point. That its making our youth question about their self identity and .being a trend or a fad blowing it out of. Proportion. I mean yes there r fans usually young whipper snappers who r a bit over the top and therefore the media kind of labels them as a stereotype. But the thing that people often forget or don't care about is that it is actually helping our young generation have an interest with reading and using their imagination rather than spend hours on their electronics. These books r giving them somethingto look forward too in life and get excited about. However older fans adult fans look at them in a different prism and see what could be benefited out of them and that they often have lessons that can really teach u about life and about ourselves. Twilight as many of u understand is more than a fantastical love story it is a story that teaches us really important lessons on the value of life loyalty sacrafice and beating the odds and doing it fo a worthy purpose love. As well as self identity. Hunger games is a satire and allegore about the cruelty of society and learning to stand for what is right and fight for the ones u love. Can't wait for the sequels. And the rest I don't know too much about. But I am actually really excited and curious about what these new upcoming young adult film adaptations have to deliver. The worl is changing and if young adult novels r becoming the new worthy trend in however form they develop then this could be a very good thing for hollywood to look forward to not just for money but also for people to develop an interest on what they r about. I for one like to be one of them. I like to explore and try new things I know I won't have the same reaction as twilight had onme but I. Am open to try.
To be fair, you would have had to be pretty eagle-eyed to have spotted a post from me recently. I have barely been on. Been very busy and have sometimes just checked out a few pictures and articles and gone again. It does get busier on here at night sometimes.....I think us English/European people are outnumbered and when the different time zones kick in we are snoozing. I love the idea of the different day time and night time shifts LOL I sometimes get caught up with chatting to the American/Canadian time zone and end up going to sleep very late :-)
I can't swear to it because once I get to work I don't get out again.....but I don't think it has rained all day. It gets so boring doesn't it?? I went to bed Sunday night and the frost hadn't cleared in some places all day. Got up expecting more frost and it was mild and, YES, raining!!!
i know i've seen your other posts saying things like 4 hours ago during the morning! lol. all good here thanks, been shopping on amazon for christmas gifts. so much easier if you know what to get :) you are right about the time zones. i love if i have a chance to come on early and read the aussie and NZ posts. then i think the german friends next. then UK then US. right found some christmas robs, gonna try them for sizing. great manip on rob attack think too small though :(
Half of the deliveries at work are for staff from Amazon at the moment lol :-) I used to love buying all the games and things when my children were small - you still have that. Make sure you enjoy it LOL
That's the worst part of this new system the AVIs are so small you can't see details now unless you hover over it. I get a bit protective of my AVI and don't like to keep changing it. The last photo I fell in love with I used on my twitter which is even better as it fills the screen LOL I'll keep watch for yours changing.
NOOOOOOO. Don't want snow! I'll stick with the rain. I have to go to work down lanes that never get gritted...it's a nightmare! You live in the back of beyond LOL isn't it a pain for you if it snows? It tends to stay milder down there though doesn't it? Or are you not far enough down for that?
i do love the patented mr p smirk on yours! i know the avi's are far too small :( how lovely to have full screen rob :))) the 2 oldest ones finish school and nursery next friday, have to think of reasons to come online during the day apart from food delivery orders!!! perhaps santa will need me to email him urgently lol. love christmas with them, i do enjoy it so much :)
well you started it :) just changed it for pensive 'hope i get what i asked for' christmas rob. in the full size its a manip with mr p in an open santa suit :))))) did you put that hat on yours, clever video person?
Haha I do live in a town not the middle of nowhere !! Its about 35 miles south of Bristol so yes quite mild :) The roads can be a pain but everything is within walking distance if necessary :-)
Yep....I can't bear to part with him yet ;-) When do they go back to school? They finish a week before us here. We go until the 21st !!!! How am I going to get my shopping done?? LOL We don't go back until 7th Jan though.
LOL Didn't you say you used to live tucked away somewhere? I can walk to the local shops but can't walk to work! People panic buy when it snows too.....it drives me mad
i don't blame you, maybe a new avi for the new year? i know it is early, my little girl the T (tabitha) in my name goes to a montessori nursery and they follow the private school holidays and my son F (Felix) goes to a tiny village school who happily just seem to do what they want! also back the 7th so a lovely long break. how are you going to do your shopping?! got ideas? think a lot of those amazon packages at work may be coming for you :)
is it???!!! are you pleased with it? how exciting :) can't wait to see it on here, you will be very nearly as famous as rob :)))) hope the paps don't follow you though......
Pretty names :-) That is so unfair!!! LOL They must work their dates differently. Hmmmmm only so many hours in the day.......I work on the computer most of the day, when I get home (if I have enough energy) and go on the computer who will it be????? Amazon or Rob? Rob or Amazon??? You get the picture?? :-) That's it......Christmas is cancelled!!
pleased enough for first attempt Lol Its just for fun really I like a challenge !! Have learnt a few things along the way and maybe will do another one in my own time !! No....no paps lol :)))
No we don't. They threaten it for so long, when it actually arrives it's a shock LOL They never prepare for it properly either do they? I have seen gritter lorries so many times recently but the conditions are never THAT bad. They are scared of getting caught out now. Have you heard the constant repetition of 'it's going to be the worst winter for 100 years' ??? Oh joy!!
don't cancel christmas, amazon is great for all rob pattinson related purchases! i owe my coaster, phone cover, keyrings, fridge magnets, cushion to them! lol :) can you imagine waking up with rob next to you on christmas morning, my goodness. mmmmm. joy to the world.....
i'm still in awe of you even attempting. anyway off now to read dow on kindle until it drops onto my face as i fall asleep holding it, yet again..... night night, you up for the long haul?
They say that every year !! Though it was quite bad here a couple of years ago!!! My kids hardly ever saw snow growing up we never hardly got any for years!!! I don't drive so I walk anyway when hubby at work!!!
So basically I will just be buying Christmas for me ? LOL My daughter has just informed me that she thought about buying me a life-sized cardboard Rob.......sounds good to me LOL
I know they do!! We just don't listen in the end though. The last couple of years have made up for all that snow they didn't get. When we did get snow it was usually February. Last year or the year before everything came to a standstill right at the beginning of December. Everything is off kilter :-/
oh you MUST let her, big smile :) he can stand and help you with christmas lunch and if its not raining take a nice walk with you in the afternoon. can you imagine the looks?! someone would probably tweet a sighting!!!! lol surely everyone who have been good deserves a little bit of mr p for christmas?
She asked where would I put it and I said he could sit in the car with me. Can you imagine when I come back out of the shops and the car is surrounded by press and fans!!!! LOL
It was the year before and yes it hung around for a long time, It wouldn't be so bad if the local authorities got the roads sorted then everything would keep going !!!
That's exactly the problem!!! Yes, it is pretty! But not on the roads!! If the roads were clear everybody could enjoy the snow and food would be in the shops LOL
I'm stubborn like that.....don't give up easily LOL !!! Thought my head was going to explode at one point plus I have learnt something I couldn't fathom since I uploaded it but hey never mind. Had to finish it now because hubby got 18 days off starting Friday and don't think he'd be happy with me sat for hours at the computer......don't want to push my luck LOL
just had a quick search on fanfic, it was gondolier but she's just deleted it for publishing! is your email address up to date in your profile? i'll email a pdf to you in the morning if you like? i am sure you have already read her stuff but anything by windchymes is amazing and chrome turtles 'expectations and other moving pieces' is probably the best thing i have ever read heartbreaking, equal with wide awake, ag3 and a life extraordinary by lola shoes. got so many pdf's if you ever want anything. let me know and i'll catch up with you tomorrow. night
Well no one has seen it yet lol i think they will go up on the site when they have enough, don't want to put link up here publicly, if you have email i can let you have a peek :)
Can I have the name of this book? I love a good book. Shadow of Night is another book, or did I misinterpret that? Let me know so I can look at it on Amazon. Thanks!!!! And sorry, Southern California is beautiful with a little moisture in the air! :-)
Those gifs are funny - love the second one - when his face morphs into a smile it's like the whole world brightens up. His smile just makes me feel so good. The power of a smile...........not just any smile however.........HIS smile.
The book is Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. Shadow of Night is the sequel. They are part of a trilogy but be warned the third part won't be out until next year or the year after. I enjoyed them so much, particularly the first one DoW, that I don't mind the wait and I will re-read them prior to reading the third when it is available. They are quite large books so over here not a particularly 'cheap' read. I have recommended this book to so many people and not one, so far, has been disappointed. Look it up and read a synopsis. Can you let me know what you think of it? Lucky you with the weather - I'm COLD!! :-)
What was he saying yeah to in that second GIF? I love when he does that cause he is usually bullshitting about whatever he was asked. He did the same thing when any idiotic reporter asked him if he really breaks the bed when he has sex. LOL
I like your thoughts, Miranda. And you're so right...Hollywood now recognizes young adult novels as profitable, which means we'll see a lot more of them. Twilight also showed that a book series that appealed mainly to girls/women can be made into movies which *gasp* actually make money, too. Given mainstream Hollywood's history, I doubt they'll be quite as bold in that area as they will with young adult fiction in general. And it's funny, Disney has been successful for years with animated films that mainly draw in young girls. You would have thought Hollywood long ago would have made the leap that all those little girls grow up...and still like movies, too! But I like that you look for deeper themes in the books that you read...and being able to enjoy a book - no, better yet falling in LOVE with a book is such a great experience.
You are correct about that. I happen to be a big fanatic of Disney animated films including the Princess ones my fav is always and still is beauty and the beast for reasons too various for me to explain on words. I confess though that i have been so spoiled by twilight for the last several years that i have not tried anything else im only just hearing about them. Although I have read parts of the first hunger games book but have taken a break bc i am still in my breaking dawn daze but im actually really excited for catching fire next year. Even the host looks very interesting. I may not know too much about it right now but im sure ill definately hear more about it. But no matter what Twilight and yes Harry Potter too will always be number one in my heart.
That Jimmy Kimmel show is one of my fav of Rob's appearance. Basically because he's so hot and sexy there, and because of these GIFs. I stil remember the first one, it's when he was asked about when was the last time he cried. But I forget the second one. Damn! Need to watch it again, only for Rob lol Btw, the wallpaper is soo good. Love it :))
Just my opinion and I want to be respectful as possible: I think the writer of the article may not have been exaggerating that much. I am pushing being a young adult... The way things are going with longer life spans and all I guess I am still considered one. But anyway, I think that he or she was right when they said that novels can cause young people to question their beliefs. I hope I don't get pummeled for this but... I think "Divergent" is a good example of that. If you haven't read that one, go read it and let me know what you think. Oh, and I think "Starters" and "Crossed" are good ones, as well, to support that article's reasoning. And from what I recall there are several instances of trust issues (Katniss/ her mom, Katniss/Peeta to name a few) in HG. These books/series at one point or another plant some seed of doubt into the main protagonist's mind, therefore planting doubt into the reader's mind, since most books are now written to make you connect and feel like the main protagonist.
I do agree though- anything to get kids and young adults unplugged from technology for at least a few hours and plugged into reality. I know I am guilty of this (it's sorta obvious since I am on here commenting most of the time. haha) Some people complain about Twilight being poorly written, the protagonist is a horrible example for girls (which as the story progresses, I don't really agree with this particular complaint),etc... But I say, if it gets these young whipper snappers to pick up some form of literature no matter how "poorly written" it maybe, don't stop them! haha I think the texting/mind melting technology epidemic is getting worse. I went to a family get together recently and one of my family members was on her phone while we were all playing a board game, her included. She was supposed to be interacting with us, since she was included in the game but she wasn't. We all just kinda looked at her like, "are we not that important that you should put whatever is going on on your phone above us?" It was kinda disheartening.
Vickieftj- I'm a lurker and infrequent poster who loves to read. Would it be possible to send me the fanfic you mention here? If not, that's okay too--I'm sure you get a lot of requests!
Yeah the technology especially with the excesssive upgrades on the iphones have been getting out of hand. I mean i zone out on my phone as much as the next person but when i am around people i make it a point to put it away and engage or at least if the conversation is directed at me.
Thanks! Just ordered it at Amazon. I can't believe how much Kindle books are now. I suppose new paperbacks are, too, though. Looks like an interesting read. I'll let you know when I'm done. Thanks again. While the rain held off, we Southern Californians complained about the slight fog this morning! We are such pansies here!!!! :-)
Nah Whence, the ''yeah!'' thing is the gif on day 5..I was thinking this is where he says,''Are you still homeless?'' and Rob says, ''Yeah, I am.'' But I'm probably totally wrong.
Enjoy the read :-) The sequel SHADOW OF NIGHT has just been made the Best Paranormal Fantasy of 2012 in the Goodreads Readers' Choice Awards ! I can't wait for the third. I had to buy Shadow of Night in Hardback as it was a new release....even more expensive lol. You think you are pansies???!!!! We had a few flakes of snow this morning and chaos took over!!! It's been freezing cold here all day and it's another starry night....doesn't look good :-)
going to bed now before it gets worse...;) good night Sonja! I´m sorry that I don´t get to talk to you more recently but RL is demanding.... Looking forward to the hollidays :)
Where I live, many streets are gritted but even then, it's at times a nightmare to drive the car when it has snowed. For me they can just skip the winter, it's nice when you're inside or when you go outside for a walk but work and winter: bad combination.
We have troubles to, Lyn, even with sorted roads (right expr?). When it snows, the trafic in the cities stands still. After a day or so it gets better as soon as there isn't new snow. The worsest weather condition is when it has been freezing cold and the temp is going high and it starts raining. No way you can go outside, not even by feet. Fortunately it doesn't happen that often, but this weather scares the hell out of me.
LOL That is exactly what I tell my daughter! She loves it !! Many of the small country roads that I drive on to work aren't even gritted! They never seem to get the gritting right either - they grit when it isn't frosty and haven't gritted when it is! :-)
here is a little trick I know(LMAO) when you are freezing your ass off just think of Rob all hot and sweaty after a long work out....................... in the bed I mean GYM! *smirks*
In California it has been raining NON stop and we have had flood warnings and it was pretty stormy the last couple of days UGH! I know we need it but I like spring and summer better LOL!
went too Forks Washington this past summer we(bff and I) landed in Seattle then drove all the way(for 4 hours!) too Forks and it rained and it was not warm at all beautiful but wet all the time but it was worth it! :D
OH I have seen those books! here in the states! I want too read the series right now I have books coming out of my ears! LOL! I am reading a really good book series called House Of Night by P.C. Cast and it is really good I love it
Put them on your 'to read' list and don't forget about them......they are really good. I keep saying the same thing but this is the vampire Rob should play when he's ready to play a vampire again!!!
wow! that is SO beautifully said and young adults read these books because they are entertaining and yes they can be educational too that teaches us about lessons in life(like you said) and I for one think they are wonderful
The Olympic Peninsula is a beautiful place. Haven't made the trip to Forks but keep think I should! My husband says it is way too far to drive when there is "nothing there"...he just doesn't understand hahaha
Nope! We aren't prepared for it so the slightest ice or snow and life screeches to a halt hahaha What gets me though is how bad traffic gets when it rains...we live in the Pacific Northwest people...learn to drive in the rain! :)
Oh, that's strange. Tbh, I looked u Maps and Bristol is on the same level as Belgium, not more south or north, so I assumed we got more or less the same weather. We will have a snowstorm late night, tomorrow morning, a lot of traffic issues are expected. During the weekend freezing cold. *sigh*
Nice to know that some issues are universal, not only due to the lack of good organization in my country :)), though I have to admit that they do what they can, but not on the smaller roads, they aren't gritted either.
I guess in Austria you're more used to the snow and deal with it better, like snowchains for the cars and so. Here we're skidding from here to there :)
Yeah, maybe. I quite liked to drive in the snow with my former 4WD, it was fun.... The snowchains are only used in the mountains mostly though. In the city they get rid of the snow very quickly....
Austria seems to be such an easy going country, not much troubles apart from a pervert once in a while (you know who I mean, the one who kept his daughter and their children in the basement)LOL No worries, we here have our fair part of perverts as well :)
Unfortunately they are all over the world.... but yes I like to live here, we certainly have our flaws but hey, who is perfect? It was just announced recently that Vienna won "City with best living qualities worldwide" again....
go for it you will not be disappointed it is SO worth it! do you know anyone else who is a fan if so take a friend with ya fly there or if you live within the Seattle area grab a friend and go LOL! and go on the webiste it is www,forkswashingtonstate.com it has all the information and we(my bff and I ) stayed at the Pacific Inn and we stayed in a Twilight themed room it is EPIC! the people there are SO nice! and IF you go and when you see the "WELCOME TOO FORKS" sign pull over and take a pic of the sign that was the first I did! :D
oh I won't believe me I plan on it I need too get a list so that I can pre-order each one of them :)oh that would be SO perfect for Rob too play but he has pretty much moved on but again it would be nice thatsi for sure!
oh a fellow robsessor had this avi and I LOVE it! this one is my favorite! I WISH it was the banner! the one we have is FH BEAUTIFUL but this avi of yours would be just as SEXY!
aw *hugs* missed ya too gurl! my internet explorer is down so I can't e-mail anyone and it is apart of comcast and I don't how the hell too get on my home page :(
Oh really? Well, congrats then, no wonder you like to live there. It appears that Austria never comes into the news with political or financial problems. That's to be jealous of. Now I have to be prudent. I remember I said once I wanted to live in Norway, 'cause nothing ever happened in the Scandinavian countries, everything there was always well organized and so. Only a week later Breivik got on his mission. I don't want that to happen in your country, so..I'm gonna shut up! LOL
hi fellow vicki sorry i've only just seen your post. of course i will. how do you want to get it? some people put their email address in their profile? reply on this comment and i'll get your answer straight away :)

What do u think of my long speech
Twinkle twinkle
To be fair, you would have had to be pretty eagle-eyed to have spotted a post from me recently. I have barely been on. Been very busy and have sometimes just checked out a few pictures and articles and gone again.
It does get busier on here at night sometimes.....I think us English/European people are outnumbered and when the different time zones kick in we are snoozing. I love the idea of the different day time and night time shifts LOL I sometimes get caught up with chatting to the American/Canadian time zone and end up going to sleep very late :-)
:-) Rob....our twinkling star!!
Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are?
Up above the world so high , like a diamond in the sky
The first gif is so cute and the second one is too. The calendar is so much fun..a surprise every day!
Wish it was starry here and cold because guess what its raining ........for a change :-/ !!!!
I can't swear to it because once I get to work I don't get out again.....but I don't think it has rained all day.
It gets so boring doesn't it?? I went to bed Sunday night and the frost hadn't cleared in some places all day. Got up expecting more frost and it was mild and, YES, raining!!!
i know i've seen your other posts saying things like 4 hours ago during the morning! lol. all good here thanks, been shopping on amazon for christmas gifts. so much easier if you know what to get :) you are right about the time zones. i love if i have a chance to come on early and read the aussie and NZ posts. then i think the german friends next. then UK then US.
right found some christmas robs, gonna try them for sizing. great manip on rob attack think too small though :(
Maybe it will get colder and turn into snow !!!
Love your Avi .....Its getting very festive round here :-)
Half of the deliveries at work are for staff from Amazon at the moment lol :-) I used to love buying all the games and things when my children were small - you still have that. Make sure you enjoy it LOL
That's the worst part of this new system the AVIs are so small you can't see details now unless you hover over it. I get a bit protective of my AVI and don't like to keep changing it. The last photo I fell in love with I used on my twitter which is even better as it fills the screen LOL I'll keep watch for yours changing.
NOOOOOOO. Don't want snow! I'll stick with the rain. I have to go to work down lanes that never get gritted...it's a nightmare! You live in the back of beyond LOL isn't it a pain for you if it snows? It tends to stay milder down there though doesn't it? Or are you not far enough down for that?
i do love the patented mr p smirk on yours! i know the avi's are far too small :( how lovely to have full screen rob :))) the 2 oldest ones finish school and nursery next friday, have to think of reasons to come online during the day apart from food delivery orders!!! perhaps santa will need me to email him urgently lol. love christmas with them, i do enjoy it so much :)
well you started it :) just changed it for pensive 'hope i get what i asked for' christmas rob. in the full size its a manip with mr p in an open santa suit :))))) did you put that hat on yours, clever video person?
Haha I do live in a town not the middle of nowhere !! Its about 35 miles south of Bristol so yes quite mild :) The roads can be a pain but everything is within walking distance if necessary :-)
Yep....I can't bear to part with him yet ;-)
When do they go back to school? They finish a week before us here. We go until the 21st !!!! How am I going to get my shopping done?? LOL We don't go back until 7th Jan though.
LOL Didn't you say you used to live tucked away somewhere? I can walk to the local shops but can't walk to work! People panic buy when it snows too.....it drives me mad
Nope he came ready made lol...........I've seen a couple similar to yours !!! I'm not that clever !!! though vid is finished :)
i don't blame you, maybe a new avi for the new year? i know it is early, my little girl the T (tabitha) in my name goes to a montessori nursery and they follow the private school holidays and my son F (Felix) goes to a tiny village school who happily just seem to do what they want! also back the 7th so a lovely long break. how are you going to do your shopping?! got ideas? think a lot of those amazon packages at work may be coming for you :)
is it???!!! are you pleased with it? how exciting :) can't wait to see it on here, you will be very nearly as famous as rob :)))) hope the paps don't follow you though......
ps i do love me a good rob manip ;)
No not me town not that small Lol.......I don't get the panic buying either .....we don't cope with snow well in this country !!!
Pretty names :-)
That is so unfair!!! LOL They must work their dates differently.
Hmmmmm only so many hours in the day.......I work on the computer most of the day, when I get home (if I have enough energy) and go on the computer who will it be????? Amazon or Rob? Rob or Amazon???
You get the picture?? :-)
That's it......Christmas is cancelled!!
pleased enough for first attempt Lol Its just for fun really I like a challenge !! Have learnt a few things along the way and maybe will do another one in my own time !!
No....no paps lol :)))
No we don't. They threaten it for so long, when it actually arrives it's a shock LOL They never prepare for it properly either do they? I have seen gritter lorries so many times recently but the conditions are never THAT bad. They are scared of getting caught out now. Have you heard the constant repetition of 'it's going to be the worst winter for 100 years' ??? Oh joy!!
Are we going to get to see it? :-)
don't cancel christmas, amazon is great for all rob pattinson related purchases! i owe my coaster, phone cover, keyrings, fridge magnets, cushion to them! lol :) can you imagine waking up with rob next to you on christmas morning, my goodness. mmmmm. joy to the world.....
i'm still in awe of you even attempting. anyway off now to read dow on kindle until it drops onto my face as i fall asleep holding it, yet again.....
night night, you up for the long haul?
They say that every year !! Though it was quite bad here a couple of years ago!!! My kids hardly ever saw snow growing up we never hardly got any for years!!! I don't drive so I walk anyway when hubby at work!!!
Maybe lol I;m reading FF at the moment :)
Goodnight enjoy your book :)
Yep already submitted !!!
So basically I will just be buying Christmas for me ? LOL
My daughter has just informed me that she thought about buying me a life-sized cardboard Rob.......sounds good to me LOL
I know they do!! We just don't listen in the end though. The last couple of years have made up for all that snow they didn't get. When we did get snow it was usually February. Last year or the year before everything came to a standstill right at the beginning of December. Everything is off kilter :-/
oh you MUST let her, big smile :) he can stand and help you with christmas lunch and if its not raining take a nice walk with you in the afternoon. can you imagine the looks?! someone would probably tweet a sighting!!!! lol
surely everyone who have been good deserves a little bit of mr p for christmas?
WELL DONE YOU!!!
I bet you're really pleased with yourself? You should be as you didn't even know where to start a little while ago! :-)
thanks! this is my first 'proper' book in months.i will go but i just finished hydraulic level 5, have you read that one yet?
She asked where would I put it and I said he could sit in the car with me. Can you imagine when I come back out of the shops and the car is surrounded by press and fans!!!! LOL
It was the year before and yes it hung around for a long time, It wouldn't be so bad if the local authorities got the roads sorted then everything would keep going !!!
Holy smokes! Hot Damn! I think I fainted after looking at Day 4!!
No I haven't who's the writer always looking for new reads !!!
That's exactly the problem!!! Yes, it is pretty! But not on the roads!! If the roads were clear everybody could enjoy the snow and food would be in the shops LOL
I'm stubborn like that.....don't give up easily LOL !!! Thought my head was going to explode at one point plus I have learnt something I couldn't fathom since I uploaded it but hey never mind. Had to finish it now because hubby got 18 days off starting Friday and don't think he'd be happy with me sat for hours at the computer......don't want to push my luck LOL
LOL! we'd be so proud of him ignoring the paps! anyway off to bed to read dow. have a great evening, speak soon night
Why can't they see that ??? ........It's simple !!!
Don't see other countries coming to a standstill !!
I can't wait to see it :-)
just had a quick search on fanfic, it was gondolier but she's just deleted it for publishing! is your email address up to date in your profile? i'll email a pdf to you in the morning if you like? i am sure you have already read her stuff but anything by windchymes is amazing and chrome turtles 'expectations and other moving pieces' is probably the best thing i have ever read heartbreaking, equal with wide awake, ag3 and a life extraordinary by lola shoes. got so many pdf's if you ever want anything. let me know and i'll catch up with you tomorrow. night
I'm off too. Enjoy the book.....speak soon :-) Night
Let us 'simple' people run the country LOL
Off to bed....speak soon. I'll look for the video tomorrow :-)
Yes Its up to date.......Thank You :)
Goodnight :-)
Hey Lyn, I just read your convo up here... lol. So you finished your vid, I'd love to watch it too, may I?
Well no one has seen it yet lol i think they will go up on the site when they have enough, don't want to put link up here publicly, if you have email i can let you have a peek :)
Oh yes, please :-)))))
Put my email into my account. Thank you so much <3
jeeeezus i was giddy over the 2 gifs you posted...and then i saw the actual gift! i love him soooooo
Our "baby" is gorgeous, simply gorgeous! Ladies, thank you again for this site. I can come here and get a smile on my face instantly!!
Can I have the name of this book? I love a good book. Shadow of Night is another book, or did I misinterpret that? Let me know so I can look at it on Amazon. Thanks!!!! And sorry, Southern California is beautiful with a little moisture in the air! :-)
Those gifs are funny - love the second one - when his face morphs into a smile it's like the whole world brightens up.
His smile just makes me feel so good. The power of a smile...........not just any smile however.........HIS smile.
Way better than the jelly of the month club!
The book is Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. Shadow of Night is the sequel. They are part of a trilogy but be warned the third part won't be out until next year or the year after. I enjoyed them so much, particularly the first one DoW, that I don't mind the wait and I will re-read them prior to reading the third when it is available. They are quite large books so over here not a particularly 'cheap' read. I have recommended this book to so many people and not one, so far, has been disappointed. Look it up and read a synopsis. Can you let me know what you think of it?
Lucky you with the weather - I'm COLD!! :-)
What was he saying yeah to in that second GIF? I love when he does that cause he is usually bullshitting about whatever he was asked. He did the same thing when any idiotic reporter asked him if he really breaks the bed when he has sex. LOL
I like your thoughts, Miranda. And you're so right...Hollywood now recognizes young adult novels as profitable, which means we'll see a lot more of them. Twilight also showed that a book series that appealed mainly to girls/women can be made into movies which *gasp* actually make money, too. Given mainstream Hollywood's history, I doubt they'll be quite as bold in that area as they will with young adult fiction in general. And it's funny, Disney has been successful for years with animated films that mainly draw in young girls. You would have thought Hollywood long ago would have made the leap that all those little girls grow up...and still like movies, too! But I like that you look for deeper themes in the books that you read...and being able to enjoy a book - no, better yet falling in LOVE with a book is such a great experience.
Seattle comes to a standstill when it snows :)
You are correct about that. I happen to be a big fanatic of Disney animated films including the Princess ones my fav is always and still is beauty and the beast for reasons too various for me to explain on words. I confess though that i have been so spoiled by twilight for the last several years that i have not tried anything else im only just hearing about them. Although I have read parts of the first hunger games book but have taken a break bc i am still in my breaking dawn daze but im actually really excited for catching fire next year. Even the host looks very interesting. I may not know too much about it right now but im sure ill definately hear more about it. But no matter what Twilight and yes Harry Potter too will always be number one in my heart.
That Jimmy Kimmel show is one of my fav of Rob's appearance. Basically because he's so hot and sexy there, and because of these GIFs. I stil remember the first one, it's when he was asked about when was the last time he cried. But I forget the second one. Damn! Need to watch it again, only for Rob lol Btw, the wallpaper is soo good. Love it :))
Those GIFs are priceless! haha and the RobArt is glamorous! haha
Really ? so it's not just us here in UK Lol !!!
That first one is the way I feel today..but ROB gonna make me feel better..HE always does.
Is that where he was saying he was homeless?
Just my opinion and I want to be respectful as possible:
I think the writer of the article may not have been exaggerating that much. I am pushing being a young adult... The way things are going with longer life spans and all I guess I am still considered one. But anyway, I think that he or she was right when they said that novels can cause young people to question their beliefs. I hope I don't get pummeled for this but... I think "Divergent" is a good example of that. If you haven't read that one, go read it and let me know what you think. Oh, and I think "Starters" and "Crossed" are good ones, as well, to support that article's reasoning. And from what I recall there are several instances of trust issues (Katniss/ her mom, Katniss/Peeta to name a few) in HG. These books/series at one point or another plant some seed of doubt into the main protagonist's mind, therefore planting doubt into the reader's mind, since most books are now written to make you connect and feel like the main protagonist.
I do agree though- anything to get kids and young adults unplugged from technology for at least a few hours and plugged into reality. I know I am guilty of this (it's sorta obvious since I am on here commenting most of the time. haha) Some people complain about Twilight being poorly written, the protagonist is a horrible example for girls (which as the story progresses, I don't really agree with this particular complaint),etc... But I say, if it gets these young whipper snappers to pick up some form of literature no matter how "poorly written" it maybe, don't stop them! haha I think the texting/mind melting technology epidemic is getting worse. I went to a family get together recently and one of my family members was on her phone while we were all playing a board game, her included. She was supposed to be interacting with us, since she was included in the game but she wasn't. We all just kinda looked at her like, "are we not that important that you should put whatever is going on on your phone above us?" It was kinda disheartening.
But anyway I am done with my rant. lol
Was it the "Homeless hoarder, yeah!!!!" thing?
Vickieftj- I'm a lurker and infrequent poster who loves to read. Would it be possible to send me the fanfic you mention here? If not, that's okay too--I'm sure you get a lot of requests!
Yeah the technology especially with the excesssive upgrades on the iphones have been getting out of hand. I mean i zone out on my phone as much as the next person but when i am around people i make it a point to put it away and engage or at least if the conversation is directed at me.
Thanks! Just ordered it at Amazon. I can't believe how much Kindle books are now. I suppose new paperbacks are, too, though. Looks like an interesting read. I'll let you know when I'm done. Thanks again. While the rain held off, we Southern Californians complained about the slight fog this morning! We are such pansies here!!!! :-)
Oh yeah, way better.
Nah Whence, the ''yeah!'' thing is the gif on day 5..I was thinking this is where he says,''Are you still homeless?'' and Rob says, ''Yeah, I am.'' But I'm probably totally wrong.
ok I thought you were talking of todays.... sorry I´ve so much going on that i confuse things... ;)
Enjoy the read :-) The sequel SHADOW OF NIGHT has just been made the Best Paranormal Fantasy of 2012 in the Goodreads Readers' Choice Awards ! I can't wait for the third. I had to buy Shadow of Night in Hardback as it was a new release....even more expensive lol.
You think you are pansies???!!!! We had a few flakes of snow this morning and chaos took over!!! It's been freezing cold here all day and it's another starry night....doesn't look good :-)
Me too...confuse things that is.
going to bed now before it gets worse...;) good night Sonja! I´m sorry that I don´t get to talk to you more recently but RL is demanding.... Looking forward to the hollidays :)
Aren't you going to have snow and freezing cold in the next days? Because we will and we most of time have the weather coming from England :)
Where I live, many streets are gritted but even then, it's at times a nightmare to drive the car when it has snowed. For me they can just skip the winter, it's nice when you're inside or when you go outside for a walk but work and winter: bad combination.
Well that's what they are saying but I live in the SW its fairly mild and don't tend to get the same as the rest of the country !!
We have troubles to, Lyn, even with sorted roads (right expr?). When it snows, the trafic in the cities stands still. After a day or so it gets better as soon as there isn't new snow. The worsest weather condition is when it has been freezing cold and the temp is going high and it starts raining. No way you can go outside, not even by feet. Fortunately it doesn't happen that often, but this weather scares the hell out of me.
LOL That is exactly what I tell my daughter! She loves it !! Many of the small country roads that I drive on to work aren't even gritted! They never seem to get the gritting right either - they grit when it isn't frosty and haven't gritted when it is! :-)
I agree it's not the snow really' its when it freezes that it becomes the real problem !! very dangerous !!
Sleep good Whence..catch you later :)
oh yeah "baby" is beautiful! that is for sure! <3
helloooooooo mister FINE!
one word: NEVER! ever would I give up this man :D *sends out inhalers*
Leah I've missed you! I need to get me a working laptop lol!
as Frankenfurter says:(in RHPS) *he's good for relieving my..tension*
every time I see a really bright star in the sky that's Rob :)
here is a little trick I know(LMAO) when you are freezing your ass off just think of Rob all hot and sweaty after a long work out....................... in the bed I mean GYM! *smirks*
In California it has been raining NON stop and we have had flood warnings and it was pretty stormy the last couple of days UGH! I know we need it but I like spring and summer better LOL!
wow! that is pretty cool it being mild here in California it has been in the 60's mostly
More likely to be Jupiter LOL Aaww cute!
Thinking of Rob doesn't always aid sleep though does it? :-)
I am so glad it does not snow in california LOL
People where I live still have flood waters in and around their houses and now its freezing cold feel so sorry for them !!
It's been freezing cold all day!!
Must get some sleep....it's just coming up for 1 am
went too Forks Washington this past summer we(bff and I) landed in Seattle then drove all the way(for 4 hours!) too Forks and it rained and it was not warm at all beautiful but wet all the time but it was worth it! :D
good night and sweet dreams :)
We don't get loads but it would be strange not to get any LOL but I suppose it's what your used to !!
OH I have seen those books! here in the states! I want too read the series right now I have books coming out of my ears! LOL! I am reading a really good book series called House Of Night by P.C. Cast and it is really good I love it
Put them on your 'to read' list and don't forget about them......they are really good. I keep saying the same thing but this is the vampire Rob should play when he's ready to play a vampire again!!!
wow! that is SO beautifully said and young adults read these books because they are entertaining and yes they can be educational too that teaches us about lessons in life(like you said) and I for one think they are wonderful
The Olympic Peninsula is a beautiful place. Haven't made the trip to Forks but keep think I should! My husband says it is way too far to drive when there is "nothing there"...he just doesn't understand hahaha
Nope! We aren't prepared for it so the slightest ice or snow and life screeches to a halt hahaha What gets me though is how bad traffic gets when it rains...we live in the Pacific Northwest people...learn to drive in the rain! :)
Hi vickieftj, "Expectations" is on my top list too :)
Wow, Can Christmas get any better.... first the premier now these!!!!!
Oh, that's strange. Tbh, I looked u Maps and Bristol is on the same level as Belgium, not more south or north, so I assumed we got more or less the same weather. We will have a snowstorm late night, tomorrow morning, a lot of traffic issues are expected. During the weekend freezing cold. *sigh*
Nice to know that some issues are universal, not only due to the lack of good organization in my country :)), though I have to admit that they do what they can, but not on the smaller roads, they aren't gritted either.
Same here!
LOL I did the same !!! They give wet and windy here though......again, the ground is still saturated so will cause more flooding I think :(
I hope not, better some freezing than flood, it has been bad enough from what I've seen on TV!
I guess in Austria you're more used to the snow and deal with it better, like snowchains for the cars and so. Here we're skidding from here to there :)
It has!! though windy would be ok to help dry out !!
Yeah, maybe. I quite liked to drive in the snow with my former 4WD, it was fun.... The snowchains are only used in the mountains mostly though. In the city they get rid of the snow very quickly....
Austria seems to be such an easy going country, not much troubles apart from a pervert once in a while (you know who I mean, the one who kept his daughter and their children in the basement)LOL
No worries, we here have our fair part of perverts as well :)
Then I will hope for you a nice breeze, like in summer days :))
Thank You :-))
Unfortunately they are all over the world.... but yes I like to live here, we certainly have our flaws but hey, who is perfect? It was just announced recently that Vienna won "City with best living qualities worldwide" again....
oh i've been around I have been busy watching BD2! and I have been on here LOL!
go for it you will not be disappointed it is SO worth it! do you know anyone else who is a fan if so take a friend with ya fly there or if you live within the Seattle area grab a friend and go LOL! and go on the webiste it is www,forkswashingtonstate.com it has all the information and we(my bff and I ) stayed at the Pacific Inn and we stayed in a Twilight themed room it is EPIC! the people there are SO nice! and IF you go and when you see the "WELCOME TOO FORKS" sign pull over and take a pic of the sign that was the first I did! :D
yeah it pretty much is LOL!
oh that is awful!! I feel so sorry for them! mother nature can be a ROYAL bitch!
oh I won't believe me I plan on it I need too get a list so that I can pre-order each one of them :)oh that would be SO perfect for Rob too play but he has pretty much moved on but again it would be nice thatsi for sure!
oh a fellow robsessor had this avi and I LOVE it! this one is my favorite! I WISH it was the banner! the one we have is FH BEAUTIFUL but this avi of yours would be just as SEXY!
Lol I mean I havnt been on for a few weeks about. Couldn't get on with my laptop so I've been using my tablet now. Missed you gurl!
aw *hugs* missed ya too gurl! my internet explorer is down so I can't e-mail anyone and it is apart of comcast and I don't how the hell too get on my home page :(
:((( Howd you get on robsessed?
Oh really? Well, congrats then, no wonder you like to live there. It appears that Austria never comes into the news with political or financial problems. That's to be jealous of. Now I have to be prudent. I remember I said once I wanted to live in Norway, 'cause nothing ever happened in the Scandinavian countries, everything there was always well organized and so. Only a week later Breivik got on his mission.
I don't want that to happen in your country, so..I'm gonna shut up! LOL
hi fellow vicki sorry i've only just seen your post. of course i will. how do you want to get it? some people put their email address in their profile? reply on this comment and i'll get your answer straight away :)
can you imagine a manip month for the robsessed banners?! that would be awesome, they'd have to put the blogger disclaimer on at the beginning! lol
The premiere was my Christmas and it was the best one.
Believe me, it is not all roses here.... maybe the news don´t spread...;)
Hey there Vickie! Thank you for your reply....I'm not sure how this whole blog/disqus thing works sometimes! I don't know if I put my email in my profile-- it is nicgrl522@gmail.com Any recommendations for fanfics are always greatly appreciated!! Thank you so much and have a great weekend :-)
hi vicki, just sent to you now, hope you enjoy! its rated m so i just have to say don't read if you are under age. if it isn't in your inbox check your trash/spam as they seem to end up there if there is a pdf attached.
what sort of things do you like to read? let me know and i'll have a think :)
