Thank You, Summit!

Summit has announced that the first official Eclipse teaser trailer will run before Remember Me. 
~
I don't know about you guys, but that makes me uber happy.  An Eclipse trailer and seeing Rob in Remember Me in one night, that's so flippin' exciting! 
~
March is like starting the down hill slope to Eclipse.  First, the trailer and Remember Me on March 12.  Then, the New Moon DVD release the next week.  I'm sure after that they will start putting out Eclipse merchandise and marketing for the movie.  Before you know it I'll be making post about the Eclipse party plans, which by the way, have already started.  I like to refer to it as "Jenny and Allison's Excellent Eclipse Party".
~
One last note, did everyone see the leaked Eclipse stills?  Apparently, Summit had not authorized for them to be released...so, they were removed from most sights faster than the speed of Edward.  But, let me tell you...they were HOTT!  Eclipse is going to be Ah-MAZING!  I have them saved to my phone, but can't figure out how to save them to my computer wouldn't want to post pictures without permission. {if you haven't seen them and really wanted to see them, you could e-mail me and i might be able to hook you up.}

So, although Summit took back the yummy pictures, they're still on my good side for announcing that the Eclipse trailer is COMING SOON! 

Hope you are all having a wonderful week so far!

Eat Music

I don't know about you guys, but I pretty much eat, drink, and sleep music.  I listen to it at my desk at work.  It's playing in my car non-stop.  I have ear buds in when I'm exercising.  I LOVE music.  One of my favorite bands is Consumed By Fire.  They're a group of super talented guys from Oklahoma.  {okay, they may or may not be my most favoritest cousins}  Regardless of how I may or may not know them, they are worth your time to take a listen.  They have a few demo songs on their myspace page {CLICK HERE}.  Their website is currently under construction {http://www.consumedbyfire.net/}.  Recently, they signed with a production company and are currently in Nashville, TN working on their 13 song album that will be out later this year.  All the songs are written by Caleb and Jordan, who are 16 and 20 years old respectively. {like I said, uber talented} I am beyond proud of them. 

This is a picture I took of them at their last concert before they left for Nashville. 

This week they're getting the chance of a lifetime and they're recording at The Sound Kitchen in Nashville.  Tons of famous groups and artists have recorded there like Chicago, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Earth Wind and Fire, Trisha Yearwood...just to name a few. 

I'll be updating as their album making process progresses. 

Do me a favor and look them up on myspace or check out some of their videos on YouTube.  I promise you won't be disappointed.

On a side note, I learned how to make my pictures that I download to my blog bigger thanks to Robin @ The Robin's Nest - Go HERE for her Bigger Blogger Pictures 101.  Thanks, Robin!!

Hope you're all having a wonderful Wednesday!!

Nothing Specific


I just wanted to blog today...no specific topic...no specific reason...nothing specific to say or tell.
What can I say? Sometimes I just really miss you guys. {awe}
Surprise, surprise...I'm not even going to mention Twilight...oops, okay...I'm not going to for the rest of this post.
It's Tuesday. The sun is shining {a little} here in Tulsa. I'm feeling a lift in my spirits just from the brief sunshine. I can feel my body soaking up the vitamin D. I had some Starbucks too, in a really cute cup with a {heart} on the side♥ I'm guessing it's left over from Valentine's Day, but I think it should be the standard Starbucks cup...well, maybe they could switch out between the red cup from Christmas and this one.
Speaking of Valentine's Day, I had a good one. Me and my sweetheart went to dinner at Red Lobster, that's like our date night stand-by...can't go wrong with Cheddar Bay Biscuits, shrimp, and crab legs. Then we went and watched Valentine's Day, which I highly recommend. I know there are some mixed reviews, but I thought it was super funny and really cute. It starts out as one of those predictable chick flicks {which I love}, but it's not as predictable as you think. It has a few surprises. Plus, there is some serious eye candy. Can't go wrong there.
How was your Valentine's Day? How's your week going? I REALLY want to know.

Happy Birthday to One HOTT Warewolf!

So, it's official, Jacob is no longer jail-bait! I know this will make a few of my bloggy (and non-bloggy) friends VERY happy! It's nice to know that we can legally drool over his ripped non-shirted chest. I pray that he never finds his shirt again...ever. I was trying to think of a good way to celebrate...going shirtless? nah. phasing? don't have the right genes. sitting in a HOT 108 degrees sauna so that I can pretend that Jacob is in the room? possibly. eating some muffins? good possibility. I was thinking that I could share with you some of my fav Jacob stills from New Moon and a few of my favorite Jacob quotes from the books.

"I’m not good enough to be your friend anymore, or anything else. I’m not what I was before. I’m not good."


"Sometimes, loyalty gets in the way of what you want to do. Sometimes, it’s not your secret to tell."


"Look, do you mind saving the stupid stuff for when I’m around? I won’t be able to concentrate if I think you’re jumping off cliffs behind my back."



"Hunting vampires is fun. It’s the best part of this whole mess."



"Who’s afraid of the big, bad wolf?"



"Did you seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV."

"Does my being half-naked bother you?"

"You love me, too. Not the same way, I know. But he’s not your whole life, either. Not anymore. Maybe he was once, but he left. And now he’s just going to have to deal with the consequence of that choice — me."



...and for later down the road...this is one of my many favorite lines from Breaking Dawn, as Jacob has so many great lines in the last couple books...my heart was happy during this part that's why it's one of my all-time favs...
"Bella, things are different with us now, but you’ll always be my best friend, and I’ll always love you. But I’ll love you the right way now. There’s finally a balance. We both have people we can’t live without."

Happy Birthday, Jacob...er, I mean, Taylor!

Do you have a favorite Jacob line you'd like to share?

What Is TwiCon?

So, I've had several of you ask me..."What the heck is TwiCon?"

Welllll, I'm going to tell you.


It's a convention all about Twilight, duh!

Ok, so there's a little more to it than that. Not every Twi Con on the Twi Tour is exactly the same. They differ from city to city. However, at every Twi Con you can be guaranteed to see Twilight stars, panels from Twilight websites, vendors selling Twilight souvenirs, autographs, photo ops, a concert, a party, and TONS of fellow Twilight fans!


Here's what's happening at the Twi Con that I'll be attending in Atlanta (I'm so excited. I might pee my pants.)...

On Friday...

  • Peter Facinelli, aka Dr. Cullen (EEEeeeeeeee!!! I hope you can hear my squeals of delight from over here), will be there talking about the Twilight Saga, signing autographs, and taking pictures.

    It'll go a little something like this...



  • A concert featuring a performance by Michael Welch, aka Mike Newton, and another musical guest(s) who hasn't been announced yet. This event will be hosted by none other than Dr. Cullen himself! yay.


On Saturday...

  • Members of the Volturi will be there, I hope no vampires decide to expose themselves to the humans...things could get ugly. Daniel Cudmore, aka Felix, and Christopher Heyerdahl, aka Marcus, will be there talking Twilight, signing autographs, and doing photo ops. Michael Welch, aka Mike Newton, will also be there on Saturday.

  • Later that evening, there will be a Volturi Ball hosted by the Volturi. During the ball, there is a costume contest, a centerpiece contest, and lots of prizes and awards. The winners of the trivia contest from earlier in the day win a makeover and are presented at the ball. Lots of fun and excitement!


On Sunday...

  • We get to meet two members of the Wolf Pack. The HOTT (108 degrees) Kiowa Gordon, aka Embry Call, and Bronson Pelletier, aka Jared, will be there answering questions, signing autographs, taking photo ops...and trying to keep their clothes on...hopefully they don't succeed. Did I type that outloud? Ooops. (If you're reading this Michael, I'm only adding that in there for entertainment purposes.)

(For those that don't know (shame on you), Embry Call is the farthest to the right and Jared is the one right next to him.)



The Hillywood cast are the hosts of the whole weekend. If you don't know who they are, you should look them up on YouTube. I also posted a video of them a couple of weeks ago, you could CLICK HERE and take a peek at the video. It's fantastic! They have also received permission from Summit to show Twilight on the big screen. Twilight related fan sites, Twilight Lexicon and TwiMoms, will be represented and hold panels for Q&A sessions.

So, to make a long story short, it will be a whole weekend of nothing but Twilight!


I.CAN.NOT.WAIT.
