Nollaig

Certain people bug me to no end, but I'm pretty sure I grate on their nerves too so HA. Getting rained on when I have lots left to do. Missing parcels from the postie and having to work out some way of collecting them from the business park which is situated in the middle of nowhere. Budget cuts. On the above note by Paperplane - ebay sellers who take DAYS to respond to a query, and those who don't ship tiny tiny items internationally. When I sold regularly on ebay, I had all queries sent to my email that pops up the minute I get it, so people got responses between immediately and 12 hours later. Also, I shipped to some pretty strange places at pretty much unbeatable postage rates. Grr.

I'm mostly stealing other people's facts here. 1. I don't have any piercings, not even my ears. While I have no aversion to tattoos, the thought of metal rather than ink remaining in my skin freaks me out. 2. I don't drive. I know how to, I just see no point in taking the lessons and €70 test when it will be years before I can afford a car anyway. 3. When I was 10, I was a Liliputian in a pantomime version of Gulliver's Travels. That was when I discovered acting and stage work mostly definately was not, and never would be, for me. 4. I come from a very small town, and once accidentally caused a bit of a hushed up scandal when I (a non-religious checkout girl) started dating my boss's (younger, Protestant) son. Apparently I was trying to get into the business. I was 17 for crying out loud! We ended it because of the pressure from everyone we worked with. 5. If I was told I could go into space, see Earth, go to the moon etc, but couldn't come back, I would go. ETA: Forgot one. 6. My heartbeat freaks me out. I get palpitations when I'm nervous, and if I so much as think about my heart I become aware of it beating. The feeling makes me feel sick because as I feel it filling after a beat, in that split second I feel like it might have stopped, and the more I think about it the heavier and thicker the sensation becomes, like it's struggling to beat, to the point of physical discomfort.

Awesome - it's definately going on the wishlist!

What's it actually about? Mr. Darcy, what now?

The Polar Express! I love this movie

I'm going to watch The Polar Express later I think! I'm in a Christmassy mood now

I'm watching The Santa Clause and I'm confused. Last time I watched this, I was young enough that the guy playing Bernard (the head elf) was older than me (16). I thought he was hot. Now however, I am 22, and I still think his 16 year old self is hot. But he is in fact 31 now. So am I a paedo, or not?

I always read right before I go to sleep, and leave my book right beside my pillow. This is actually not a good idea, but it never ended badly til today when I woke up and found the edge of Breaking Dawn's cover dog-eared Still, I'd rather that than the spine, as it's spine is what's on display on shelves.

Haha nope! Been very careful with it and it's perfect

New Moon. Then I went back and loved the book too

I've read 400 pages of Breaking Dawn since last night! O_O

You and me both

300 pages into Breaking Dawn and - disturbingly - I'm enjoying it immensely. I suspect my newfound werewolf appreciation is helping with that. But I'm starting to worry now that I'm going to end up LIKING the ending. I'm doomed.

No problem - there's a load of stuff to remember over the course of the four books!

Jasper was Another favourite character: Seth Clearwater. I love the absence of prejudice in his youthful innocence - he easily befriends Edward and is then quick to stick up for what he believes is right, irrespective of species. Being an enthusiastic young kid works in his favour too - he's sweet. A kid called Boo Boo Stewart (who is really cute) will be playing him in Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, so I'm looking forward to seeing him.

It deserves to be burned, Marcia. But it's a pretty book and I'll look after it accordingly. I'm 133 pages in, and Jacob's section is about to begin.

Hahaha what fantastic ideas all! Chrissy I REFUSE to break spines, that's the one thing I'm very uppity about when it comes to books. I'm 70 pages in and just being very, very careful

Finished Eclipse. Cried a bit, died a little inside - the usual associated with Twilight books. On to Breaking Dawn! How I'm going to navigate this monstrosity without breaking the spine, I do not know. Suggestions on a postcard, to the usual address.

Okay I feel the need to talk a little about my favourite scenes. Scene 1: Carlisle and Bella after the party. Scene 2 - Bella takes the bikes to Jacob

I never noticed that about the photos Peace, I'll look out for it!

I've seen it twice in cinemas and I might go again during the next week. There's NOTHING else on at my local cinema anyway.

He's actually dating Taylor Swift? I thought that was just people hyping up their kiss in the movie they shot together.

Seriously, watch some Lautner interviews. It's impossible not to love the guy. Kristen doesn't interview well - she's twitchy and looks stoned even when she isn't, Rob also looks like a stoner. Taylor is waaaay more grounded and articulate. Love Love Love him. Kellan with blond hair is straaaange And so is Ashley with her long hair.

I like him as a person. I never liked RPatt in interviews, and Taylor never HAD interviews prior to New Moon. Now that I've seen him interacting with interviewers, other cast members and responding to similar questions, I think he's way cooler. He's clearly talented, he's up for a laugh, takes everything in his stride and he's very articulate and engaging. RPatt takes about 10 mins to answer one question and half the time answers a whole other question in the process

Changing the subject totally - you know what would be so awesome? Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner getting together. I don't know why, I just like them both and RPatt does little/nothing for me. She has a boyfriend though, doesn't she?
