On Tuesday, Nov 25, I saw my friend working on a calculator. It reminded me of a quote from the Twilight movie. I texted it to my mom. She, without thinking about her actions, texted me back a different quote. Naturally, I texted her a quote back. This lasted all through school, eight hours, and a while after school. Fun! P.S. We only saw the movie twice in theatres. It's still opening week.

Me: Yes. No. To get to the other side. 1.77245-

Mom: You're texting

Me: He's asleep

Mom: I like watching you sleep.

Me: Are you being safe?

Mom: Are you afraid?

Me: It's a worm. It's a worm.

Mom: Oh, my God!

Me: Not that guy. No, he just looked.

Mom: Ok. Bring him in.

Me: You should put your seatbelt on.

Mom: You should put YOUR seatbelt on.

Me: Still got that pepperspray?

Mom: You don't know the vile, repulsive things they were thinking.

Me: Floridians, that's what's in Jacksonville.

Mom: The Cullens don't come here.

Me: Lu Push, baby. It's so...La Push.

Mom: I'll go if you stop saying that.

Me: You have to double pump the cluth.

Mom: Just keepin' it real.

Me: Maybe that's why they kicked me out.

Mom: Yeah, I've heard that before.

Me: We gonna talk about boys?

Mom: Now I'm afraid.

Me: Her name is Bella.

Mom: You're the bomb.

Me: I'll just have to endure it.

Mom: You better hold on tight, spider monkey.

Me: Edward is very fast.

Mom: Bring it.

Me: Seriously, like don't waste your time.

Mom: What date?!

Me: You're not going to let this go, are you?

Mom: I hope you enjoy disappointment.

Me: I'm the reason you're in here.

Mom: Where else am I going to go?

Me: You're ready right now?

Mom: Isn't it enough just to live a long, happy life with me?

Me: You stood up once and it was a foam board.

Mom: Our bus is full.

Me: How you likin' the rain, girl?

Mom: You're asking me about the weather?

Me: Like I said.

Mom: This kind of stuff just doesn't exist.

Me: The feaure is dead!

Mom: I think I should make sure Bella gets something to eat.

Me: I tell you I can read minds and you think there's something wrong with you?

Mom: We used to make mud pies together.

Me: Could you act human? I've got neighbors.

Mom: Complication.

Me: We matriculate a lot.

Mom: Just ignore Rosalie, I do.

Me: Everything about me draws you in. My voice. My face. Even my smell.

Mom: My dad paid me to talk to you.

Me: You are my life now.

Mom: You can't sat things like that to me.

Me: Yeah. I had an adrenaline rush. You should Google it.

Mom: Vampire.

Me: It's just a story, Bella.

Mom: Is she even Italian?

Me: One of the best things about Charlie- he doesn't hover.

Mom: You're like my own personal brand of heroine.

Me: It wouldn't be like drinking your blood, for instance.


I won! And yes, these are all accurate Twilight quotes. From the movie, not from the book.
 

I did this acrostic for a Twilight fan site contest. I'm very proud of it since I suck so bad at poetry. Lol.

Always their
Love
Is
Constant and
Everlasting

Just
As the
Sun and moon, their
Passion is
Eternally
Radiant

VVampsBite (5:02:32 PM): Um, so, if anyone at all is the slightest bit interested in my life, I thought I would do a random update because...I don't know. Because I need to vent.

Okay, so tomorrow is UIL, and I'm nervous, but actually more mad than anything because I have to attend for first and second period before I actually go to UIL, which is lame and then I have to sit at an orchestra booth for transition night for two hours. Yeah, and the guy I like, who told me he was going to ask me out, hasn't actually done it yet and it's making me mad! AND my english teacher gave us an assignment that I can't actually do since I need a password for the school in order to get to the website she told us to go to and it's due wednesday which is gay. Oh, and top of that I have a 200 page book to finish for the school book club meeting on wednesday, AND a six week old puppy to feed twice a day.

*breathes*

Wow. I wrote a lot. But thanks for letting me vent. I'm yelling and pulling my hair out over here

tera pendragon (5:02:58 PM): wow
tera pendragon (5:02:59 PM): thats stressfull
tera pendragon (5:03:04 PM): stressful*

Okay, so we had to endure the TAKS test today, and even though it's like a state law that students are ONLY allowed to read, I was going NUTS staring at my book for four hours! So, I wrote a random poem when the teachers weren't paying attention!

A review for the book Cold Mountain that I wrote for English and thought was actually well-written:

Romance, tragedy, war, comedy, magic, action. Cold Mountain has a little bit of everything. Upon picking up this novel and reading the first paragraph, I knew I would enjoy it. The ebb and flow of Charles Fraizer's style of writing gives the novel an ambiance of sorts. I believe that he could write anything, whether it be horrible or not, and still win an award simply because the tone and style of his work make the whole thing seem epic. In Cold Mountain, he writes about the tragedy that touches every person of the war, and the way he speaks to the reader makes them pay attention.
         At first, it's hard to pinpoint the subject of Cold Mountain. Is it the love story? Or the war? Or just the battle of good vs. evil? In the end, if the reader digs a little bit deeper, they will find that the book is about all of it, coming together. Charles Frazier uses the war, an event that everyone, no matter their age, knows something about, and gives us a whole different view on it. Through Inman, he shows the tragedy of it, the death; through Ada he shows the loss of someone left behind; and through Ruby he shows one person's chance at new life. But he throws it all into the war, almost trying to blind the reader from seeing what lies beneath, what the moral of the story is.
         It's easy for me to say that I've never read a book like this. Very long ago, after reading a series of memoirs, I was turned off of books that revolved around any war. I can honestly say that, no matter how interesting this book looked or how good I heard it was, I would never have picked it up and read it unless forced to. My belief was that all war memoirs were all the same. Just like sports movies, they all started to blend together until I couldn't tell one from another. But this book is nothing like the others. In the beginning, I had doubts, thinking that there was no way that this book would be good unless it was a memoir- written by someone who took place in the war and experienced it for themselves- because those were always the best, but I have found that the outside point of view makes it that much better.
         Would a person who took place in the war really know what it was like to sit at home and wait for their loved one to return? Or would a person waiting for their loved one really be able to focus on the tragedy of war?
         They would both have their point of view. And since they are so strong in what they experienced, they would get tunnel vision and not be able to see it from the other side.
         But a person who simply went and researched the war from both sides would get so much out of it that they could write a little of both and throw in a whole new standpoint to go with them.
         My respect and idolization toward Charles Frazier is never-ending. I may never read another Charles Frazier novel for the rest of my life, and I can honestly say that I probably won't, but I will still be amazed at the depth of this book. Finishing it, and looking back on everthing that I read, really had an effect on me. It was like I was hit by a ton of bricks and saw the war in a whole new way. I will never be able to think about the Civil War without seeing the faces of Ada and Inman and thinking about all the things, all the people, who were lost along the road to our country's freedom.
 

This scene was inspired by my first snowman-making experience this Christmas. I wrote it for a vampire series that follows the series I am going to start writing this November. Enjoy!

         I still felt the pinging sensation of embarassment as Jason and I walked through the snow-covered streets. My feet sank into the crisp snow with each step, and I could feel the bottom of my pants slowly becoming damp.
         I was watching our shoes mar the perfect mounds when his hand reached out and clasped on my wrist.
         "Look," he said.
         I lifted my head and looked in the direction he pointed. Off in the distance, in front of a red-brick apartment complex, stood a fat snowman, smiling and reaching out toward us. My heart swelled at the sight of the festivity. I had become so accostomed to seeing empty streets on cold nights like this. Nobody bothered to leave the warmth of their homes anymore, so just that little symbol of childlike innocence warmed my heart.
         When I met Jason's stunning blue eyes, they were filled with joy. I couldn't help but grin.
         "Want to make one?" he asked.
         My smile faded, and I blinked at him. I'd never made a snowman before. I didn't even know how to. But all the gorgeous white snow called out to me to turn it into something even more beautiful. I grinned at him and nodded. "Okay."
         His smile widened and we made our way to the sidewalk. We wouldn't want our snowman to get hit by a car or something.
         Jason immdeiately leaned over and began rolling snow. I crouched down and attempted to do the same, but the snow fell apart in my hands.
         Oops. I snuck a peak at Jason. His ball was already big enough for the bottom part of the snowman's body.
         How did he do that? I watched his hands move over the snow with perfect grace. He made it look so easy.
         I tried again, but the snow broke. I glanced quickly at Jason, who was busy lifting the abdomen and setting it on the larger mound.
         I looked away, disappointment making my stomach turn. God, Cora, I thought. You can't even make a stupid snowman right. I turned my back to Jason so he couldn't see my failure and leaned over to try again.
         If my tear ducts worked, I would have cried.
         "Cora?"
         I didn't lift my head, but watched his feet stop next to my hands that held piles of crumbled snow.
         Jason squatted. "Is something wrong?"
         I dropped the snow and stood up as quickly as I could. Maybe if I said no, I wouldn't seem so lame. But then I would look mean. I couldn't lie.
         "I can't do it," I whispered.
         He stood up and met my eyes. They were sympathetic. "What do you mean? Of course you can." He squatted again and tugged on my hand so I would go down as well.
         "Just roll it." He took a ball in his gloved hands and rolled it so that it gathered more snow.
         That looks easy enough. I tried to do the same, but my hand fell through the pile, causing it to shatter down the middle.
         "I can't roll it! It just breaks!" I started to rise again, and he grabbed my hand. I ran a hand through my hair and surrendered to his sweet, cool blue eyes. When I was at his level once again, he took the ball again. "Just roll it."
         I watched him roll the snow and then tried to do the same. Crush!
         Jason smiled. "Don't press on it. Put your hand underneath, like this." He cupped the ball from underneath. "Then roll slowly; gently."
         I did what he told me to. It didn't fall apart. I forgot the cold air and the wet snow on my gloves as I rolled and rolled. I compared it to his snowman and thought the size was just right. I examined the ball in triumph. "It's a little deformed," I muttered before looking back at Jason who still crouched at the starting point of my trail.
         His eyes glowed and he shook his head. "It's perfect."
         I sucked in cold air. He stood up and took a step toward me, his eyes never leaving mine. Hoping that he was coming to do what I thought he was, I took a step toward him.
         Argh! My foot burrowed under the snow and reached the ice below. I slid forward and my hands hit the snow in front of me.
         Oh my God, Cora! Good job! Way to ruin the moment. My face burned, and I didn't look up at Jason again, even when he heldped me up. "We should get this on the body," I told him instead.
         We took the head, me on one side and him on the other, our fingers touching on the underside, and set it on the other two mounds. We shaved the sides off and searched for things to make the face. We separated and I looked for rocks.
         When we met up again, I placed the stones in the snow for eyes and smile while he poked short branches into the sides for arms.
         "We don't have a nose," I said, slightly discouraged that our snowman would not have the traditional carrot nose. "We'll use the rocks." I fixed a rock in place for the nose and smiled. "All done." I let the rest of the stones fall to the snow and took a step back to admire our art work. I was pretty proud.
         But when I glanced at Jason, his face was disappointed instead of happy.
         "What?" I asked, afraid that I had somehow butchered it. Couldn't I do anything right?
         "It's not done," he told me and then leaned down, picked up two rocks, and fixed them in place under the smile.
         Fangs.
         Jason stepped back, admiration flooding his expression. He turned to me. "Now it's beautiful."
         This hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving my lungs searching for air. This beautiful, blue-eyed human accepted me for what I was, possibly even loved me for it.
         Even as surprise still filled me, I took a step closer to Jason and tilted my face up to his. Why let moments find us when I could create my own?
         Jason's eyes lost all humor, and I could tell that he didn't think twice before taking me up on my apparent offer. He snaked an arm around my waist and pulled me to him before lowering his mouth to mine.
         Stars erupted behind my eyelids, and I felt I would melt right out from under his hands. I put my arms around his neck to keep my footing, but I didn't need to. His hands were holding me steady and then lifting me off my feet so that I was level with him.
         Our mouths eventually parted and he kissed me once on my cold cheek before setting me back down on the ground.
         "I like the way your fangs feel," he whispered in my ear.
         Oh my God!

Over the years, I have become partial to random descriptive writing. When I am bored, and really need to work on describing a character, I pick a guy that I know (and most likely adore) and write a few things about him. Here are a few I have done.

Teddy Geiger/ Jonathan Vogel:
I saw a guy sitting on a stool behind the mic, a guitar in his lap. He was looking down at his fingers. He plucked notes, but I knew that I was the only close enough to hear them. He had dark brown hair that sat just on top of his shoulders. I didn't like long hair, but his wasn't flat and wirey, like some hippie. It was wavy and looked rather perfect. He was thin, but not skinny, and I liked the way his back arched as he leaned over his guitar. I took in his every feature, like the way his skin looked soft and was the perfect color- not too tan, but not too pale.
         I didn't understand how someone could be so perfect at first glance. Before I had time to hide the obvious fact that I was staring at and analyzing this guy, he looked up, and when he did, I saw the most amazing sight. Even though the room we were sitting in was dimly lit and the walls were covered in a deep red color, his blue eyes shone brighter than anything else in the room; brighter than anything I had seen in months. And even though he could see me looking at him, and I could see him looking at me neither of us turned away.
         He continued to pluck notes, one after another, as he smiled at me. When he did that, I realized that his smile lit up the room almost as much as his eyes did.
         I smiled back.
         Then, he stood up, took a few steps toward the mic, and started to speak.

Matt Childers:
         I looked at the boy that I had just stopped on his way to the door.
         His face still had a red tint from his 7th period PE class, and he had the same interested look on his face as he did everytime he looked at me; when he looked at anyone.
         I still had my hand on his arm, right below the cut-off of his short-sleeve shirt. I saw that his short brown hair was starting to stick up around his neck, signaling that he was in need of a haircut. I smiled a quick smile at him while he waited for me to give my reason for stopping him.
         He smiled really big; that smile that, for years to come, would cause my knees to buckle, but at the time just seemed like a nice gesture.
         Then my eyes met his, and for the first time since we met, I really noticed them and almost got lost in them. There was so much green that it seemed that I couldn't find his pupils. And it wasn't a normal green. It was the deepest, most intoxicating green I'd ever seen. I wasn't sure how long we stood like that before I snapped myself back to reality and dropped my hand. "You're right, Keyania," I said as I saw my friend approach us out of the corner of my eye. "They are green."

Daniel Craig:
         My God, his eyes. They're impossibly blue. I didn't know that color occured in nature. I couldn't even picture that color in my imagination. They're the color of water on those screensavers with those unrealistic beaches that are out of our reach, with clear ocean and perfect golden sand. His hair is a wonderful shade of yellow that brings out the perfect tan of his skin.
         Where do I go from here? The cute wrinkles on his forehead, his adorable ears, his wonderfully formed cheekbones? And his lips. They're an amazing shade of pink. Wonderfully round, wonderfully kissable. I can just imagine how soft they would be.
         His rock-hard body- washboard stomach, perfectly formed pecs- but yet it's so much more fun to look at when draped in the sexiest tuxedo. And man, does he look like an Adonis in a tux. His angelically shaped biceps are picture perfect when he lies in his bed or leans over his bathroom sink. And wow, is it fun to look at his little gluteous maximus. Oh, to have his hand smooth up my leg. To have him bite my bottom lip. Or just shed one of those heart-stopping smiles just for me.
         I'd die.

Will Krogman:
         She remembered the way he looked Saturday night- a lot different than he did now. That night he wore a blood-red, button-up shirt that, in the light, would have been more along the lines of candy cane red. In the bright cafeteria, his blonde hair sat flat on his head, but in her mind's eye, she saw the way it looked at the dance; the way it stuck up in a surprising new hairstyle.
         Everything about him made her hyper-aware of every cell in her body. She caught a glimpse of his hands and remembered the heat of them on her back when he leaned in to hug her. When she looked at his mouth, she could imagine how his lips would be soft to the touch and felt a tingle as if he'd already placed a kiss there.
         At the dance, the sleeves of his dress shirt had been rolled up to his elbows, but here, in the unnecessarily bright lighting, his green cross-country jacket came down to his wrists, covering what she knew were perfectly shaped fore-arms.
         Oh goodness, now she was analyzing his forearms? She sighed to herself and forced herself to look away from his table. This was a boy who was going to be hard to snatch up, but man, was he worth it.
