//'sup?/

Hmmm a little while since I blogged. Lol I'm bored, so away I go!

Sydney was awesome (forgot how much I hate flying OMG) - the convention was amazing. :D There were a few things that put a damper on the experience, like me looking hooorrrible in the photos with Jensen and Jared LOL augghh I emo'd so much when I saw 'em. Ah well. Also the fact that J2 were sitting, not standing, made it really awkward for me ahah. *note awkward hand on Jensen's shoulder*

Taken off my Facebook 'cos I'm lazy:


Gah, so ew. :/







Got a nice smile from both boys, Jared especially! He's very friendly and seems to make it a point to look and smile at the people he gave autographs too. Whereas with Jensen it was a shy quick-glance-smile kinda thing. :P

Everything seemed to be really disorganized and chaotic too, (apparently it was a lot better on Sunday - sigh) with things being delayed, and the late delivery of the photos and such, but everything else was great. It was understandable with this being one of The Hub's largest events :) Misha Collins is HILARIOUS (as are the boys ;P). Gawd. And my photos were okay, I guess. :P The whole weekend was recorded by The Hub and I'm awaiting the DVD in the mail! ^___^

We didn't end up going to Bondi Beach like we'd planned, because of the cruddy weather - rained nearly the whole time we were there. We got soaked at Taronga Zoo LOL that place is bloody huge! Have to say I enjoyed Melbourne Zoo a lot better. *nodnod* Still fun though! And the area with the seals/penguins looks amazing. They have like, three Snow Leopards! *love*

Worst part of the whole trip was - like Melbourne, the hotel room. We were *right* on a relatively busy intersection so there were a lot of people being idiots in cars, car horns constantly going off, pedestrian crossing sounds, people yelling/screaming/singing/breaking things/etc etc. Augh. But we were about a five minute walk from the Uni where the SuperOzCon was, so that made up for it somewhat, heheh.

Bring on another conventionnn! Although I don't have the money for it LOL. U_U;;

Got lots of photos up on my Facebook page. c:

------

Um...what else...

Ah, The Sims 3! Love it. Although my computer hates it. I need to update my graphics driver thing but when Dad downloaded the update it wouldn't work ><;; damn computerssss. Danielle isn't having much problems, but mine is constantly crashing and it's killing me LOL.

Oh yeah, my damn monitor! I now can't see about two inches on the right side of the screen - happened when I was using Photoshop (same size as the layers window). Totally weird. I have the LCD attached so I'm using that for my monitor now. But anyways, It's a really fun game! Love the new 'Create A Sim'. Although there are some little things missing from The Sims 2 that I miss. My sim is a 'Hit Movie Composer' hehe yay. I love that you can put your own music in the game, too. *puts in movie soundtracks* x3

Danielle and I are watching Charmed - up to season five now! We bought two of the box sets because Blockbuster couldn't find one (season two) and the other was out for another week (season five) which was okay 'coz we got 'em for like $25. ^^ There's other shows I'd like to watch, like One Tree Hill, Ghost Whisperer, among others I can't think of at the moment!)

Also bought Nickelback and Kings of Leon's newest albums - loving them! KoL's 'Closer' is one of my favourite songs and I recently found out it's about a vampire falling in love with a human girl, written after one of the guys saw 30 Days of Night. :3 Haven't seen that one, but Mum enjoyed it. Plus the director from the movie is directing Eclipse! Ooooh lol.

Speaking of which - The ~New~ New Moon trailer = AWESOME. I love iittt. I need to get it in HD! Darn bandwidth limit...

Went driving todaaayy eek. thirty-something hours down and I'm still a shitty/nervous/etc driver aughhh. Mum wants me to drive her Lancer because she thinks the Accent "carries on like a bucket of shit!" lol. I just think the acceleration is kinda sucky (sounds like it's dying when I put my foot down LOL - needs to be tuned?) and the steering wheel is shakey. *shrug*

Louie is being as adorable as ever (although he's had weird episodes and taken chunks of peoples skin with him! Not fun). He now knows how to "shake" and we're kinda teaching him to put his wings up/let us touch his wings, which is for when we *eventually* get our Aviator Harness for him (*squee*). :D He says a bunch of things now, like "What's that?", "Whatcha doin'?" (sounds like "What ya doin'?" hee.), different types of giggles, "kiss kiss! *kissy noise*", "Ready?" (or "readyreadyreadyREADYREADY?" LOL) "Boo!", "Yaaay!" and a bunch of silly noises we make , haha. I'm sure there's stuff I missed.

We've been searching a lot of pet shops lately (as far as past the city) and *finally* found a place that sells pellets! (that aren't Passwell or whatever it is) Jeez. It's at the New Gepps X HQ (is that right?) pet shop called Pet Domain. It's pretty awesome, I'd looove to work somewhere like that. (: Louie's still figuring out what's what and Roxie is of course suspicious of the new food in her bowl and barely touches it. *shakes head* -____-;;

I really need to get out of this house with friends or *some*thing, I'm going a little stir crazy here LOL. *fails at life*

Yikes, another epic text wall. O___o If you read that all, you are awesome. xD

Bed time for meee.

//Home Sweet Home!/

Yaaay, home! Well I've been home since Tuesday, but I haven't gotten around to posting a blog, lol.

The Melbourne trip was awesome, though! Funny that of the four days that we were gone, two of them were just days of driving. O___o Like, eight hours of driving. It's fun though, it just gets a bit boring when it's just hours and hours of road and nothing else. We did see a lot of kites and hawks and things, though.

Our motel thing was...eh LOL. Guess we get what we paid for. We were right on a busy intersection (second floor of the motel) and the windows were really crappy, so we hear *every* car that drove by, including the damn crosswalk beeper thing! I'd be almost asleep at 12am, and then woken up at 6:30am by Mum LOL. It was alright, though.

Some piccies:


We drove through a rainbow! :D




View from the motel.


My beeed, with Danielle's on the right side of the room (shotgunned the double! xD).


Table lol. Mum's bed on the right.


Our widdle kitchen! (Mum's bed on the left there)


Bathroooom. Our water was erm...tank heated, is it called? So we have to have 5/10 minute showers and then wait half an hour for the water to heat... .___.;;


The Twilight convention was SO! FUN! Holy crap. Awesomeness. It was cool gushing to people (Yes, I spoke to a few (maybe five? LOL) people!) about our excitement and what it was like meeting the actors. :3 One thing sucked. I FORGOT THE CAMERA! Gah. I could have asked Mum to get it and we would've picked it up, but I didn't. Ah well. :/

The audience's screams weren't too bad, they only came in short bursts haha. We made it about 10 minutes before 9am (we got a little late trying to find the right gate to go into and Mum was freaking out about the traffic/roads - it's crazy!) and let in at maybe...9:15am. The only real hiccup I noticed was that started about 45 or more minutes late, so everything was waaay behind. Other than that, it was amazing!

Edi, Taylor and Nikki were so great. Edi is hilaaarious! Taylor was just so cool, and Nikki is so gorgeous! And they're all so down to Earth. Loved all their Q&A's. It makes me even more excited about the SuperOzCon! <3 href="http://twilightorigina.free-forums.org/">Twilight Originals.net.

Photos! Keeping mind that I have no idea how to scan photos, and touch them up, etc. -____-;;


Photo taken with my mobile before anything started - we were in fourth row! A huge relief (a surprise actually) because we got our tickets probably...two weeks after the announcement. I realized I could have taken some photos with my mobile...hmm.


Lol eugh, slouchage. Someone on the Twilight Australia forum was saying that Taylor told them he doesn't do big smiles in all his photos because he gets a sore jaw. :P


:3 I love Nikki's dress! It had pretty frilly green layers at the bottom aswell, so cool.


Lol. Go team! The redheaded girl was the one who recognised me. Red hair = love!


On Monday we went to Melbourne Zoo! That was really great. It's *humongous* and I'd taken so many photos that near the end of our trip, I had to delete some to make room for more! That never happens at Adelaide Zoo...lol.

Favourite part had to be the Gorilla's, Orangutans and Siamangs! Adorable. Among many, many others. We got there about 10:15 am (walked there, it wasn't that far away) and got back around...4-ish? Well we were there a long time. I was still recovering from it three days later, LOL! Oh! And I got a toy Gorilla...heheh. Danielle got an Orangutan!


Lolll.

I uploaded a ton of photos, but there's no use uploading them all here, there's way too many! There all in my Photobucket.

//Twilight, yeaahhh/

Alrighty! So Danielle, Mum, Dad, Sarah and I went to the Twilight Pre-Screening at the Tea Tree Plaza Hoyts Cinema (*breathes*) on Wednesday night! :D

We thought we'd go there a little early so we could eat and maybe do a little window shopping. I think we finished our food a little around 5:30pm (keeping in mind the movie would start at 7pm), and we'd seen a mob of about five girls with home-made Twilight shirts on, walking up the stairs to the cinema.

We were thinking we'd just go up there and get our tickets and have a quick walk around the shops, but...there was already a que of about...30 or so people in line! With one and a half hours until the movie! Jesus. So we got a place in line instead. Sarah hadn't come with us, she'd just passed her test that day (congrats!!!) and said she'd meet us there. By about 6:30pm I think they stopped letting people join the que, it was so damn packed! Sarah still hadn't arrived by then so I was freaking out, lol. We did get in there at around 6:50pm (people started moving, and screaming and pushing -me included, I'm losing my spot to *nobody!!*- ensued) and we saved a spot for Sarah.

She told us that the line went *out* of Hoyts and down the stairs to the food court! Seems like they ended up using two cinemas instead of one. Unless that was the original plan.

Our audience was actually pretty awesome! I was a bit worried about those teeny bopper, squealy type that I'd been reading about on the IMDb forums, but apart from the screams when the movie started and when Edward, Jacob and Carlisle appeared on screen, that was pretty much it. Also some of the direct quotes from the book, and Steph Meyer's appearance got some people squealing.

But I really enjoyed the movie! Of course there's some things I would have like removed (did we really need all that stuff with the nomads..?) and some things added/changed (Jacob telling Bella the vampire story, more info on the Cullens/vampires and the dang blood typing scene!). Apart from that, I really liked it. :D Definitely going to go see it again on the 11th! I like the crowed atmosphere (if they aren't being stupid and talking over the movie) and being able to hear everyone's reaction.

They were also handing out free Twilight posters! Pretty cool. I think they're about...is it, A3? size.

---------

Off to Melbourne tomorrow! I'm really nervous haha, especially after the venue change. Melb Uni? I'm doomed! I hope they have signage, who knows where we'll end up otherwise...LOL. The building's pretty close to the main road we'll be entering, so it shouldn't be too bad...then again I could always get lost *inside* the building. O_____O;;

Still not sure if we'll be catching a taxi or driving to the Uni. It's pretty close, almost straight down one road from our apartment - Royal Parade I think it is. Mum says "Not sure, we'll see." :P I don't know if out apartment has internet, either...not that it'll kill me to stay away from it for a couple of days haha. It *does* say "wireless broadband" on the website for it. Egads, broadband?! 8D

Just down to the last thing like packing shampoos, deodorant, toothbrush etc. And that's it - we hit the road! :P 7am wake up too. .___.;;

*wanders off to find anything else to pack*

//Venue Change./

Okay, so, I just got an email from Carissa (runs The Hub Productions) saying that the venue for the Twilight Convention has been changed from the Spring Street Theatre, to the Copland Theatre in Building 148 of Melbourne University. O___o

Lucky about two months ago we changed the hotel from just down the road from Spring Street to near the zoo, because now we're pretty close to the new venue, lol! The other hotel/motel/whatever didn't have any parking. Silly, I know.

It sucks for Mum now, because the old venue was right near a lot of malls and shops and whatnot. Mum was going to take a book and wonder around the shops all day while she waited for us, then catch one of the many trams to the spring street theatre again. So...she'll be catching a taxi now? xD u____u;; There were also cafes and stuff around...guess we'll be bringing snacks instead. Ah well.

Aaand I'll probably get lost! Dammit lol.

Also, the Rainbow Lorikeets have started coming back now! They eat the little nut thingies on our tree outside. I got a couple of good photos. But they're nowhere near as cool as the ones that I got last year. These are the old ones:




*0*

And these are the ones I took today:











I think it's the closest I've ever gotten to them/it before! (the other one flew away pretty early) This guy was just in a tricky spot, and it was around 6pm so it was nearing sunset. :/ Next time though, next time!

I've been getting up a lot earlier than normal (7:30am wtf) to prepare myself (lolz) for this Melbourne trip, and having to get up early. :P I hope they come back earlier in the morning. :3

//Summertiiime./

Hey, look. My 50th blog. Lolz.

Hmm I haven't posted a blog in ages! Well... a month, right?

Updateage:

* Twilight is out in the US now! It's doing really well - much better than those stupid haters. Over, is it, $109 mil in two weeks? Yeeuh. It'll be released in Australia and Europe next Thursday, so it'll get more. :D Not bad for a $37 mil budget! Plus, New Moons in production and hopefully starts filming around March '09! :3

* Went to the Zoo about...two/three weeks ago. God, some people can be idiots. 'Nuff said. And Mum does *not* have enough patience, especially when it comes to waiting for me to look at/take pictures of the animals! Gosh. Spent half my time catching up to everybody. xD

* Also went to Waterfull Gully. Hadn't been there since we were little. It was nice, but the falls were kind of...dry. Haha. Didn't have much rainfall during winter. :c Damn drought. But we got awesome Koala pics!

* I have a cold! Haven't had one in a looong time. Probably two years... yeah? I don't know. Sucks, lol.

* Christmas is nigh! Sort of. I wish I had a job, dammit. Then I could have got people presents, with my own money. Also, a lot of games (among other things - like shoes, makeup, clothes...) that I have my eyes on. This low confidence thing is really sucky, lol. .___.;;

* Less than four days until our Melbourne trip! Where does the time go? Mum got suitcases out the other day. We're off food shopping tomorrow - per usual, but only for three days, and whatever it is Dad needs for meals (steak, steak and...oh, steak plz!) lol.

There's been changes with the guest for the Con, too. Kellan, replaced by Edi, and Ashley, replaced with Nikki. That made me sad. :'c Some of my favourite cast members couldn't come. But oh well. Taylor is the third guest too. c:

* Twilight screening tomorrow! Man, I'm excited. But nervous about how it'll be. My Twilight forum buds really enjoyed it, so...yeah! Mum, Dad and Sarah are coming too. Hopefully the crowd will stay squee-free during the movie! ^^;;

It's summer already! Jeez. This changing-my-layout-per-every-season is getting annoying. Maybe I'll change it just for summer and leave it at that? I don't knowww lol.

I'll be putting up some pic dumps too, for the Zoo and Waterfall Gully. x3

//Accommodation - Check!/

The Hub announced the venue for the SuperOzCon the other day! There's also a website with more information. It's a little bit out of the city, in the eastern suburbs. So it's lucky we didn't go ahead and get accommodation early, lol.

Mum found a place really close by, and booked a room for us! It's called The Randwick Lodge. It's about a ten minute walk from the Uni, with a mall close by as well. Pretty awesome! It has some nice pictures on it's website.

So accommodation is a check now. And we won't be paying for it until we get to Sydney. Now we just need the plane flights...though I only have $140, definitely *not* enough for flights to and from Sydney!

I (finally) did the online application at Coles and Kmart! Hopefully something comes out of that. c:

Oh man, listening to a song from Final Fantasy VIII (Waltz for the Moon lolz) is making me nostalgic! Might have to go play it, yet again...

It was Terrie's 20th birthday on Tuesday! Danielle, Sarah and I went to Elizabeth and met up with Terrie, and we saw Max Payne. It was alright. I didn't really get it, lol. And then we just walked around the shops a bit, had some food and chatted, and Sarah bought some clothes. It was good to hang out again. Almost like old times. Almost. :P

TwilightAustralia.net has been down the last couple of days! Meaning I haven't been able to check if The Hub (an employee posts on their forum with updates and whatnot) is any closer to announcing/getting an answer from the third guest! *twitches* Augh. Although, The Hub has been away in New Zealand the last couple of days, for another convention. Dammit, I hope it's Rob, and he says yes! That would be epic. xD

Mum got a card for a driving instructor and she said she's going to book some lessons for me. Eek! Nervousss. I think I've said it before, but when I go driving with Mum, it's just...driving. Like, I'm not following anything that the learner-book-thingy says, that the instructors check and whatnot. Hopefully I haven't picked up any bad habits or anything. >___<;;

//New Twilight Trailer/

In all it's HD glory!

Twilight Trailer


Love me some HD. <3><;; Must! Save! Bandwidth! *twitches*

//Change of plans./

So Jodie isn't coming to the convention. That's okay (though Danielle and I had a "D:?!" moment LOL), I just wished I'd bought the tickets a week earlier instead. Oh well. Hopefully it doesn't affect our seating too much. So Danielle and I are going on our own now. I got the confirmation email (I sent the form off on Sat I think) on...Tuesday I think.

Dammit I'm going to be so nervous meeting Ashley, Kellan and whoever the mystery third guest is. Having a friend is my safety net to meeting people! xDD I'll be all one word answers and trying to rush it so I can get it over with without embarrassing myself...LOL! Should be fine, though. Kellan and Ashley seem like really nice and upbeat people. I wouldn't mind a hug from Kellan either hahaha, apparently he gives good bear hugs! And if it was Robert that was going...lord help me. I'd be too nervous to speak. :|

And this way Danielle and I will just go halvies on a photo together with each actor, and get the photos signed together. And the rest of the money can go to Supernatural & Twilight merchandise! Gosh, I'm excited.

Not sure if Sarah's coming or not, yet. I'm getting impatient because I don't know how far ahead we need to book for the motel. Dx Because if she is coming, we'd be booking a motel one hour outside Melbourne, to fit four people. If she *isn't* coming, we'd book for the one inside the city. Though it'd be more expensive...plus I think they have a wheely bed thing for more people, so I don't know lol. We'll see, She's not sure if she can afford it, let alone get two days off work.

Better news though! Yesterday we *finally* got the Supernatural books (Season 1 & 2 companions, and 'The Supernatural Book of Monsters, Spirits, Demons and Ghouls')! Yaayyyy. Jeez, those took friggen for *ever*. And I think it's even the first delivery, which was sent in July! I thought that one was lost, and Amazon has another one coming...LOL. They said we can have it for free though. xP I've read the first companion, and it's pretty good. Lots of little tidbits and behind-the-scenes details, which I of course love! x)

Gotta have a photo of 'em, naturally. ;P


LOLZ @ my Gryffindor bookmark! Woot.

Mum, Dad, Danielle and I also went for about a five hour drive on Sunday. I think we passed Semaphore, Moana, and this other place...can't remember the name. xD I suck at knowing where we are/went. But Danielle took some nice pictures (I didn't hog the camera, wowza!). I forgot how much I love to go on drives/travel! Lots of pretty and interesting landscapes and stuff to see - makes me more excited for the Melbourne trip. :D

Piccies ahoy!




Corella's! c:




BaAAaa.




Lol, Myponga.











Heroes was on tonight, too. Danielle and I *just* bought Heroes 2 and watched it in time the other day, lol. 11 episodes in the whole season, gawd. Dang writes strike. And the new episodes...woah. So much going on, I'm pretty confused right now LOL.

Hmm, what else. Not much. Been playing Fable which we bought recently. Danielle heard about Fable II coming out Oct 23, and wanted to play the first one. I like it, reminds me of Guild Wars. I miss that game. :c

Ohoh and the last Twilight trailer is out tomorrow (or later, technically)! A lot of new movie stills/posters out too, which rocks.

Nearly 2am, time for bed!

//Woaaah!/

Prepare for a text wall! *flexes fingers*

I'm Downloading the third episode of Supernatural now! =D Time travel, yay! It really looks awesome. I can't wait two weeks to see it here! Dx But I'll *try* not to download any more, I just have so much fun reading the Superatural IMDb board and I like to be up to date with episodes so I'm not spoiled. Ahh well.

But on to other things! I was on the Twilight Australia site the other day, and found out about an *Australian* (Melbourne and Sydney only, naturally. Melbourne would be the one we'd go to) Twilight convention happening in December!! Holy crap, I was so excited, I ran to Danielle's room (mind you, this was 1am haha) and was giggling like a fool, lol.

When we spoke to Mum and Dad about it in the morning, Mum was on a tirade saying how she couldn't get a day off during that time of the year. Dad said he didn't have a problem, he'd just take Monday off. But now Mum's taking us. I feel bad because it seemed that Dad wanted to go, but now he has to stay home with the dogs. We'll only be in Melbourne for three days though.

But yay, we're going!!

Danielle and I thought it'd be cool to bring a friend, and we thought about Sarah, but I really didn't think she'd be interested. Then we thought of Jodie, so I raced to write up and SMS and comment on her blog to ask, and wait ever so impatiently for her to reply. xD I want tickets ASAP!

At the moment Kellan (Emmett) and Ashley (Alice) are set to be going, and there's another undecided guest coming. I haasss to be Rob, please be Rob, lol.

It's expensive - $70 for a day pass, and as high as $750 for a platinum pass! Though that includes front seats, cocktail party and a breakfast with the guests among other things. The way we worked it out, if the three of us go and get autographs/photos it'll come to $220 - each.

And I read that they have merchandise stuff from other movies/tv shows - they even used Supernatural as an example! YAY. I'm hoping to get a big Supernatural poster, to replace my Anothony one. Sorry, Anth! And a Twilight one too. Sorry (captain!) Jack Sparrow, lolll.

*Next* was to figure out the fun stuff! [/sarcasm]

Danielle was looking at motel stuff today, and Mum came and helped afterward. A lot of the stuff around the city (one was almost on the same road as the con) are around $350 a night, which we knew was too pricey for us.

Now we've got our eyes on a motel about an hour outside of Melbourne for $165 a night, and fits six people. Better than the $13 backpackers place Danielle pointed out, lolll. The motel is just around the corner from one of our old houses! Not that I remember it, we were just babies then.

Right now it sounds like we'll be leaving Friday arvo, Saturday we'll be doing stuff around Melbourne, Sunday is the Con and we'll leave on Monday.

I got an email from Sarah today saying that she's going to try to come with us. First I was like "What?! With Jodie? Talk about most awkward trip, ever! Gosh, is Jodie going to want to come now?! *panics*" Haha. Just...what. I didn't even really know she knew about it, so it shocked me that all of a sudden she's coming with us...

I don't know if Mum asked or not, but when she came home she was saying how she thought Jodie wasn't coming (dunno why she thought that, we haven't got a straight yes or a no yet) and that she wanted some company when she did other stuff while we were at the con, which I understand. I just think the drive will be awkward, but we'll see.

I don't mind them both coming, squishy in the car though, and the luggage...that's the though part.

It'd also make the travel (petrol will probably cost $300 all up) and accommodation a heck of a lot cheaper, 5 people paying and all. Plus Sarah always seems to keep things light and bubbly. c:

I'm hoping both of themcome, actually. Mum's being nice enough to drive us there, she might as well have some company while she has to wait around for us.

Ohoh, I completely forgot about the independant film Jensen filmed back in '07, called 'Ten Inch Hero'. I was on YouTube and I came across the trailer and a clip from the movie. Look at him! a Mohawk, muliple piercings and tattoos...wow lol. But it seems like a really sweet and feel good movie. Have a lookie!




"It says here it can handle any amount of...oh my god!" LOL. Awkwaardd!

[/text wall]

//YESSS/

Quoted from TwilightAUSTRALIA:

"Thanks to the wonderful Tiffany we now have official confirmation that Twilight will be in Australian cinema's December 11th!"

8DDD!

Ahh yesss. I'm happy, lol. Twilight seems to have taken HPB's old Aust. release date. At least now it's only three weeks to wait, though it'll feel like forever when I'm hearing fans from the US going "ZOMG IT'S OUT TOMORROW". -_- So much better than having to wait two dang months!

My local Blockbuster has a casual spot open...and Danielle and I (well Mum did it, "The sooner the better!!! *nods furiously*") handed in our resume's. It looks pretty silly with no work experience...so we put our SACE thingo and School reference in it...along with my term 1 - 3 school report. I'm worried it's too much paperwork, but said it's fine. *shrugs* I hope they have more than one position open, though that's unlikely...right? Hm.

*has Rihanna's Disturbia on repeat* 83

//Movie Dates./

Well! WB decided to move Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince from November 21 08, to July 09. I got this from MuggleNet:

"Warner currently is riding high with "The Dark Knight," the Batman film that also stars Bale. The grim super-hero movie has taken in $452 million in the U.S. since its July 18 release, making it the second-highest grossing film ever.

To some degree, that success motivated Warner to shift "Half-Blood Prince," Horn said. The film will now hit theaters the same midsummer weekend that "Dark Knight" was released this year. Horn said the young, core Potter audience would be out of school and give the film a longer theatrical life. It will now open opposite Universal's special-effects comedy "Land of the Lost," which stars Will Ferrell. But Horn said there was nothing next year compared to this summer's especially dense slate of big-budget releases."

...

Well it sucks that we have to wait pretty much a year to see the movie that's ready for November! Gosh. I read somewhere that we should be happy it'll be released next year because the wait between HPB and DH would be smaller...ahahah. -___-;; But oh well, I've lost interest since the last HP movie, which was my least favourite. :c

On a much brighter note though, Summit's decided to movie it's release of Twilight from December 12th to HBP's previous date, Nov 21st! Niiiice. Mind you, that's the North American release date. I'm really hoping the Australian release date will movie from January to somewhere much closer. :/

I'm sick of my layout already! xD Wish I was more creative lol. U___U

Having fun watching the Olympics! Though I want to see the opening ceremony again, since I only got to see probably the last quarter. So You Think You Can Dance was on Channel 10 at the same time. :P Oh welll. And I can't get The Star Spangled Banner out of my head! It's all Phelp's fault! Haha. Whenever I turn Channel Seven on, it always seems to be swimming that's on. *shrugs* I don't mind though.

*searches for something to eat*

//Oooo.../

Another month since I made a blog...well not much has happened, really. Danielle seemed to have got it all on her blog, though. :P Including new pics with Lucky! Look how much he's grown, nawwh.

What else...oh! Mum & Dad got us an XBox 360 early for our birthday. .____. I feel bad because Danielle and I were just going to buy it with our own money, but they said they'd get it for our birthday. The deal that was going on at the local game store seemed good, except it ended mid August, so they said they'd get it for an early present, lol...

It came with Halo 3, Assassin's Creed and Gears of War. Halo 3 was the main reason Danielle and I wanted to get it, haha. We were having so much fun playing it at Sarah's, we wanted to get it! It's so funnn. I'm horrible at it, but oh wellll.

Danielle's been playing Assassin's Creed, too. It's a pretty good game. I mean as in, the graphics and how it actually plays. I'm still now following the storyline...since I don't know much about what happened in the 12th century, lol. Haven't played Gears of War yet.

Also, Breaking Dawn. Ahhh I was so excited. Except we didn't pre-order it...and when we went to our local A&R, they didn't even have the delivery yet! So we panicked and went to/called up some other stores, they didn't have it either. We pre-odered it there though, and they called around 3-ish when they had it, and we'd got our own copy by about 3:30pm.

I finished it on...Wednesday or Thursday...can't remember LOL. I still don't really know what to think. Something seemed off to me. Wether it was the characters, or the way it was written...I don't know. Guess I just need to read it again.

I changed the layout, too! I got the html from Danielle though, thank you LOL! I just changed the colours and a few things. I'm not sure about the header. It's just a pic I took from a zoo trip ages ago and played around with it...kind of...wintery? -__-'

And yes...that's it I think. *sighs* It's sad I know, haha.

//Fehhh./

Augh, boredom sucks. Which leads me to update my blog! Haven't updated in a while (again). Let's dot (asterisk?) point!

* MTV Movie Awards. Anybody watch it on MTV? Well you should have, because it was awesooome! The Pre Show had a clip from Twilight, which was really cool. Got to see Rob and Kristen too. n___n

* I read Stephenie Meyer's new book - The Host. Great book! Really enjoyed it.

* Saw Terrie when I hung out at Sarah's! Hadn't seen her in yonks, so it was great to catch up. c:

* Ordered the Iron Man and Beauty & the Beast soundtracks from Amazon! Mum got a doughnut book too, lolll. We make doughnuts with Mum's breadmaker that she got for her birthday. xD Nomnom!

* Supernatural is FINALLY back on TV! Oh boy, sososo happy. The first ep was on Sunday ("Ghost, Ghostfacerrrs!" xD Loved it), three more eps to go! I got spoiled on what happens at the end...on an aussie forum, too. Thanks, people! -__- Oh well.


Dean says stfu! Lolz. <3

* We got a new plasma (plasma, right? LOL!) TV in our spare room! Dude, we're spoiled. Mum was nagging about us never knowing what we want for birthday/Christmas presents and we jokingly started raving about the PS3 and that we don't have a high def TV...and a few weeks later, there ya go. Haha. ^^;;

'Tis awesome though, Dad hooked it up to the laptop and yes...good stuff. Pic! Reading an email from Sarah there...haha.



* Michael. Bublé. Concert. Zomgz. Totally amazing! We just went Monday night. His support act - Naturally Seven, were amazing! They do this thing they call "vocal play", where they do all their songs a capella, except they use their voices in place of instruments (guitar, base, drums etc), really awesome. You could heard the shock and awe in the crow when they got their applause! They're great singers, too.

And of course, Michael was amazing too. This is only my second concert and I have to say I had a lot more fun than at Anthony Callea's concert back in 2005. For one, I could hear what he was saying (no teenyboppers here!), and also, there were screens on the side of the stage (difference between Thebarton and the Entertainment Center, maybe?) so we could see him up close. We weren't that far away (the place was sold out!), which was cool too. It was just so much fun. He's a great entertainer, and so sweet and funny! Check out my crap-tastic pictures! (Taken with my phone - God I wish we'd brought our camera..! *sobs*) I also recorded a bit of him singing 'Everything' on my phone - which is also crap-tastic.

Before the concert (you can see one of the screens on the left)


And...I can't remember what he's singing here. 'You Are Always On My Mind', maybe? I could see him better than here, haha. I don't even think you can see him at all here...

LOL. I'd go again in a heartbeat though! Okay, okay, stopping with the rambling. xP

* Danielle and I got our hair cut and coloured on Tuesday. Now it's a lot shorter and layered. My hair's also a darker brown, Danielle's is a bit redder than mine. c: Here's a (crap) piccy, so you can kinda see, lol.



Yeah...I think that's all that's been happening lately. Hopefully going to go see CoN: Prince Caspian on Saturday with Sarah and Danielle! I want to go see The Happening, as well.

Ciaooo.

//More puppy pics!/

Aaauugh, damn you boredom!

Went to Sarah's house a few more times this week. Took a camera one of those times too, to get better pics! It'll be really cool to look back at the pics in a few weeks time to see how much he's grown! We only ever took a few photos of Missy and Brandy when they were really little, and they weren't digital, lol.

But anyways, more pics!



(he's eating an apricot nut, thing)



Lol, Sarah's crotch!




*FLASH* Lol.

And, get this! Apparently the release date for Breaking Dawn in Australia, New Zealand and the UK has been pushed to the 4th of August, instead of the 2nd (same as the US date). Weeell that sucks! *pout* I'll have to steer clear of the internetz for two days. Well, the Twilight sites, at least.

And there's (maybe, since the date's changed) going to be a Breaking Dawn release party at the Angus & Robertson store in Colonnades. I don't even know where that is! Lol! I Google Earth-ed it, and it's past the Adelaide Airport, which is an hour drive away from here. Meaning I won't be going, haha. Poo.

Also! Danielle and I got a pair of apple earrings! We were supposed to be looking for dog collars, but we didn't find any. We had to get them, since we couldn't find any other apple stuff anywhere else! Lol.


Yay! Lolz.

Oh yeah, I forgot. Mum, Danielle and I saw Prom Night on Tuesday. It was okay. Not as "AWESOME!!!" as I'd heard though lol. But Kellan was great, of course! Not much screen time though.

//Augh, boredom./

Okay, I'm really bored. *sighs*

Let's see...what have I been up to lately? Umm. Oh, I went to see Step Up 2 with Sarah. Good movie! I liked it more than the first one, haha.

Danielle, Mum and I Smallville Marathon'd ourselves to death. We just finished watching the last of the Season 6 episodes and the S7 episodes I downloaded, and we're up to what's on TV now. Woot.

Went on this site's forum a lot. If you're a Twilight fan, go there now! xD

Continuing on the Twilight topic...videos! Quite a few have come out these last few days.

* Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black) shows off his wig! Loool. (Youtube version)
* MTV sheds some light on Stephenie Meyer's (author!) cameo in the movie. (Catherine and Nikki & Kellan on YouTube)
* ET on the set of Twilight! *flails*
* MTV (YouTube version) on the set, and interviieewss! *squee*

Whoo!

Oh, and Sarah's moved into a new place with her boyfriend, Greg. It's about a four minute walk away, which is really cool! We walked down there today and hung out for a little while. It's a nice place. And guess who's got a puppy?!



Heeere's Lucky! He's an eight week old Kelpie. Good luck to them, I think he'll be a handful! Little rascal, lol.

I wanna go see Prom Night, (Kellan's in it ahah) but someone isn't answering the message(s) that I sent four days ago! No probs, we'll be going without her on Tuesday, bahah! :P

Byezzz.
