Whew...

Seriously, guys-- the Breaking Dawn casting is going to be the death of me. I love them all so freaking much!!!

<3,

Mrs. Cullen

Sorry!

I've caught Nessie Fever...
I don't even know who this is, but wouldn't it be awesome if this actor/model was there for the scene where Jacob imprints on Renesmee? Instead of showing little Ness in Rosalie's arms, why don't they show big Ness?

It's crazy how much she looks like Bookward:and movie Bella (especially in the actor/model's second picture):
She also looks like Rob when he was just a liiiiiiittle bit younger-- like, when he was shooting The Haunted Airman...

Most of all, it's crazy how much she actually looks like the real book grown-up Nessie rather than just a human actor/model...

I love her hair, too-- see? THIS is the color Edward's hair should be in the movies. That way you would actually be able to see the resemblance, and where she got it from. :(

-Mrs. Cullen

Overboard...

Sorry, Twilighters, I'm going overboard... but...
Isn't this the most twilight-appropriate picture of Mackenzie Foy as Renesmee?!
YAAAAAYYYYY GO NESSSSIIIIEEEE!!!!!
...
Okay, I'll stop now.

-Mrs. Cullen

Nessie, Nessie, Nessie!!!!!!!

TWILIGHTERS!!!!!!!!

RENESMEE CARLIE CULLEN HAS (almost) BEEN CASTED!!!!!!!!!


"According to Entertainment Weekly, nine-year-old actress Mackenzie Foy is all but signed on the dotted line as Renesmee. EW has an excellent track record when it comes to casting stories so we are going to tend to believe this one."
-Twilight Lexicon

"It’s a big day for Twihards. First Maggie Grace signs on to play Irina. Now EW.com has learned that little 9-year old Mackenzie Foy is inches away from signing on to play Renesmee, Edward and Bella’s vampire/human love child that’s a central role in the final installment of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.

It’s not yet clear how the diminutive actress, who’s appeared in one episode each of television shows FlashForward and ‘Til Death, will portray the character who ages a full 17 years in only seven. Sources have suggested that director Bill Condon will employ similar digital effects to those used by David Fincher in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, where Foy’s face would be digitally transferred onto the face of a younger child. It’s also probable that the studio will hire a younger child in some capacity, too."

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE'S SO PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Except I'm not sure if she looks like Rob enough-- she looks too much like Kristen, in my opinion. And her eyes aren't brown-- they'll have to be altered with CGI or contact lenses, but she definitely has that "all too intelligent and aware" look that Nessie has. It seems that her gaze pierces right through you, which, in a way, is exactly what she does! Her hair should also be a little bit lighter and more reddish. Edward's bronze hair was lost in New Moon and Eclipse, but if Renesmee's hair isn't bronze, too, I'm going to flip out. Her hair is also a little bit too straight-- Nessie inherited Charlie's curls in the book. But since Charlie's hair isn't curly in the movies, then they might leave it as it is. I'm also wondering how they could cast nine-year-old Mackenzie where, at the end of Breaking Dawn, Renesmee looks about 2-4 years old...)

Nevertheless, this is HUGE news, and I still can't believe I'm seeing the casting of Renesmee already. It seemed as though it was yesterday that I was reading Twilight...

(Just one more picture! Sorry, but I just have to absorb her face...)


UPDATE:
Okay, now I see the resemblance...... do you?
(Thanks to Ivy for the picture.)

She has Rob's eyes, mouth, chin, jaw, and almost his hair color; but she has Kristen's forehead, nose, and the upper portion of her head is shaped like hers (does that make sense?)...
She also has Kristen's natural eye-color (but that'll have to change), and Renesmee's skin tone (though her cheeks have to be more blushed).

Physics I

Imagine my face as I came across this problem when I was doing my Physics homework:

Question:

"While driving his sports car at 20 m/s down a four-lane highway, Eddie comes up behind a slow-moving dump truck and decides to pass it in the left-hand lane. if Eddie can accelerate at 5 m/s2, how long will it take for him to reach a speed of 30 m/s?"

Answer: 2 seconds, though I'm sure Eddie-kins can accelerate much faster than that!

* * *

Facts that are twilisophically right in this problem:

-The dude's name is EDDIE!!! :D :D :D <3
-He does have a sports car- the Aston Martin Vanquish that J.B. drools over constantly.
-Eddie would certainly pass a slow-moving dump truck.

Facts that are twilisophically incorrect in this problem:
-Eddie's driving at 20 meters per second, which is equal to about 44mph. Eddie does not drive at 44 mph. Ever. In Midnight Sun, he compares eighty miles per hour to a crawl.
-Are there four-lane highways in Forks? o.O

Moments from the book twilight

Hey twilighters,

Here's the first round of Why I like twilight.

Quotes that make me LOVE the series:

Biology scene:
"Ladies first, partner?" Edward asked. I looked up to see him smiling a crooked smile so beautiful that I could only stare at him like an idiot.
"Or I could start, if you wish." The smile faded; he was obviously wondering if I was mentally competent.
"No," I said, flushing. "I'll go ahead." -page 45

The scene where E offers to drive B to Seattle:
"Stupid, shiny volvo owner."-page 83

E & B's first cafeteria conversation:
"He seemed to be waiting for me to say something.
"This is different," I finally managed.
"Well..." He paused, and the rest of the words followed in a rush. "I decided as long as I was going to hell, I might as well do it thoroughly."
I waited for him to say something that made sense. The seconds ticked by.
"You know I don't have any idea what you mean," I eventually pointed out.
"I know." He smiled again, and then he changed the subject. "I think your friends are angry with me for stealing you."
"They'll survive." I could feel their stares boring into my back.
"I may not give you back, though," he said with a wicked glint in his eyes.
I gulped.
He laughed." You look worried."
"No," I said, but ridiculously, my voice broke. "Surprised, actually, what brought all this on?
"I told you-- I got tired of trying to stay away from you. So I'm giving up." He was still smiling, but his ocher eyes were serious.
"Giving up?" I repeated in confusion.
"Yes-- giving up trying to be good. I'm just going to do what I want now, and let the chips fall where they may." His smile faded as he explained, and a hard edge crept into his voice again.
"You lost me again." -page 88
...

He chuckled. "What are your theories?"
I blushed. I had been vacillating between Bruce Wayne and Peter Parker. There was no way I was going to own up to that.
"Won't you tell me?" he asked.
I shook my head. "Too embarrassing."
"That's really frustrating, you know," he complained.
"No," I disagreed quickly, my eyes narrowing, "I can't imagine why that would be frustrating at all-- just because someone refuses to tell you what they're thinking, even if all the while they're making cryptic little remarks specifically designed to keep you up at night wondering what they could possibly mean... now, why would that be frustrating?"
He grimaced.
"Or better," I continued, the pent-up annoyance flowing freely now, "say that person also did a wide range of bizarre things-- from saving your life under impossible circumstances one day to treating you like a pariah the next, and he never explained any of that, either, even after he promised. That, also, would be very non-frustrating."
"You've got a bit of a temper, don't you?"
"I don't like double standards." -page 90

Blood typing:
"Oh no," Edward muttered. "Go out to the office, Bella."
I looked up at him, bewildered.
"Trust me-- go."
I spun and caught the door before it closed, darting out of the infirmary. I could feel Edward right behind me.
"You actually listened to me." He was stunned.
"I smelled the blood," I said, wrinkling my nose. Lee wasn't sick from watching other people, like me.
"People can't smell blood," he contradicted.
"Well, I can-- that's what makes me sick. It smells like rust... and salt."
He was staring at me with an unfathomable expression.
"What?" I asked.
"It's nothing." -page 100

E & B's car ride home after blood typing incident
"Don't be offended, but you seem to be one of those people who just attract accidents like a magnet. So... try not to fall into the ocean or get run over or anything, all right?" He smiled crookedly.
The helpless had faded as he spoke. I glared at him.
"I'll see what I can do," I snapped as I jumped out into the rain. I slammed the door behind me with excessive force.
He was still smiling as he drove away." - page 109

More quotes from twilight coming soon!

Why?

Hey Twilighters,

You know, every time when you guys ask me why I like twilight, you always find that I can never respond properly.

I gasp and splutter frantically and usually just wind up saying something corny like:
1. "Because... ah... um... well... it's a great story!"
2. "Because................ it's..... good...?"
3. "*groans* Haven't I answered this question enough already?!"
4. "I don't know! I just do! Go away!"

I've decided to answer that question on my blog, where it's easier to keep your thoughts in order, and where you have time to think.

You know those moments in a book, where you're just "Ohhhhhhh" or "awwwwwww" or *roflmao* or just dead on the floor from the intensity of the mood of that moment in the book? (Mrs. Roder is going to kill me for writing that run-on sentence.)
Well, I didn't. I've never read a book where I've felt like that:

Where you're sitting on the edge of the chair waiting for the next words that are going to pop out of a characters mouth...
Or when you're completely melted onto said chair, getting all teary-eyed?
Or grinning like an idiot when your favorite character said something hilarious?

Nope. Sorry. Only the twilight series did that for me.
I mean, I'm not completely biased-- I loved reading the Hunger Games, the Book Thief, and classics, but twilight just clicked with me.
Kindred spirits, as J.B. would say. (Please tell me you know what J.B. stands for.)

So.
I'm going to be posting fanart and quotes that relate to why I love the series so much.
The small moments that make you feel all warm and fuzzy, to the epic quotage where you've just melted onto the floor or are screaming with their fictional triumphs (mentally).

I'll try to post at least once a week-- sorry, but you'll have to bear with me-- the SBHS is rough.

Winner! *ding ding ding*

Hey Twilighters,

I had the freakin' WEIRDEST twilight dream ever last night. It just extends a light year beyond the borders of sanity. You'll know what I mean towards the end of this post.

(Oh, and happy belated 23rd human birthday, Bella Cullen! X( I'm a bad twilighter for not posting about that!)

THE DREAM:

I won passes to the Breaking Dawn set (the auction, remember? Apparently, I won without paying anything! The power of my devotion to twilight is priceless XD) and was given a free camera. I was able to take as many pictures/videos as I liked (though I mostly took videos during the dream). We went to a dull-looking white building, and the interior was all white and gray. Two floors of white walls, white tiles, and a black banister that looked down upon the first floor. Maybe they were replacing all the furniture and people with CGI, so he was shooting everything seperately-- I didn't know. Everything was white, not a green screen, however.

Now, the interesting stuff. I saw Rob in his Edward makeup on the first floor, but his makeup was done like he was plucked right from the Volterra scenes in New Moon to this building. Weird, because they were shooting Breaking Dawn Part I. Oh, and instead of spray-painted abs, they were drawn on him with a thick black marker o.O. Sorry, no pictures for that. There was only the crew in front of him, and he was kneeling on the [white] tiled floor either rehearsing his lines, or shooting the scene-- I couldn't tell because I couldn't hear him well. I was videotaping him from the second floor banister, remember? :D

The strangest part was, that, I didn't feel any fangirliness or any excitement in his presence. I guess... I knew that I was only dreaming... After all, I would surely faint (or die) if I saw him, but in my dream, there was nothing but recognition and interest. And then he stood up and walked forward (he might be walking down a hall when they edited the shot with CGI, but it's only a dream, so who cares?)

As usual, I don't remember the shift between settings.

The next scene he was shooting was in an empty office. A lawyer's office? J. Jenks, perhaps? :D Anyway, Robward sits down at the desk and yells at the empty lawyer's/illegal documents forger's chair. (?!) I... forgot what he says. He argues with "Mr. Jenks" and then the most wackadoodle thing happened in my dream.

Get ready...












HE EXPLODED INTO A PURPLE 2-D HIPPO. (exactly like the picture link, only really angry at his lawyer/illegal documents forger.
Compose yourself.
Okay.
Moving on.
So, when I saw this, I completely freaked out and started laughing (the hippo didn't stop, it just kept arguing). And then... I forget the rest of my dream.

And there you have it. The craziest, most traumatic twilight dream I've ever had.

Two lessons/random things learned:
-From now on, I will always associate Robward with purple hippos.
-I still have the video of it in my dream, so I can always replay it when I'm asleep! Woot woot!

-Mrs. Cullen

Happy Birthday, Nessie!

Hey Twilighters,

It's Renesmee's 4th birthday today! Physically, now, she must look like she's 10-14...

Whoa! That means we've literally seen her grow up from the little spoon-mangling monster--
--the luckiest child on Earth--
To a young woman, right before our eyes!...

... Gosh, I feel so... so old!

Possible Renesmee

"Kayla D. (Divenere) of MMG Management in Montreal was called to be seen by the casting director of the Twilight Saga for the new movie "Breaking Dawn." Kayla is being considered to be the daughter of Edward and Bella (Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart). This is the first major audition for Kayla since it was discovered in July at IHOP!"

I'm loving this Renesmee, though she looks a little bit older than I imagined her being...
