I can see why this story is attractive for all the lonely girls/women out there, but it’s a little too cheesy for my taste. The marketing of this is just too obvious – a new girl in town who is so irresistible that she has not only the attention of the whole school, but also has two hot guys on her in an instant. What girl wouldn’t want two guys to fight over her, and end up with an eternal love? Especially the love of someone as good looking as Robert Pattinson?

(Sidenote, why do all of the actors in this movie mistake acting out “attraction” with “looking like they’re going to vomit”?)

The only other problem I had with the movie was that it felt like nothing was really going on. When it ended, I couldn’t believe that that’s all there was. (I felt the same with the early Harry Potter movies too, being a huge fan of the books, but as they went along it felt more solid.)

I didn’t have a problem with the glittery vampire the way a lot of people did…my sister described it as “a modern take on vampire folklore” and I’d have to agree that it worked. It wasn’t Mariah Carey glitter, it was more of a shiny glow that kind of reminded me of melting skin, and isn’t that kind of what happens to vampires when they go in the sun?

Really, this movie isn’t something I HAD to turn off…it was entertaining enough to watch all the way through, and the love story is compelling enough to want to see through to another movie.

All the great taste of crunchberries without all of the roof-of-mouth-hurt that comes along with it.

The illustrations in this book are so amazing. Even though I’ve always been a really scared person (especially as a kid), when I first saw this book around the age of 8 or 9, I toughed it out through the terrifying parts and admired the drawings so much. These books are what inspired me to want to become an artist.

It kind of ruins orange juice for me for a while…the last thing I want to taste in the morning is vodka with my cereal.

My mom, while digging through tons of boxes to look for my birth certificate, found my baby book which chronicled my first year or so of life. Under “favorite foods” she wrote ‘HATES apple juice. don’t even try giving it to her.’ That statement is still applicable today.

I first heard this record when I was at a basement book sale (at which I purchased said record and a “Best Of Dear Abby” book). It was playing in the background and I didn’t recognize it immediately because it mixed so well with all of the other classical music they were playing. But then I heard the distinctive tune of Stayin’ Alive and rushed over to the record section. As soon as the nice saleslady switched to a new record, I snatched up this jewel along with its adorable jacket. I couldn’t get a better find for $2 if I tried.

This is the absolute funniest book I’ve ever read. You can find it in full online if you look hard enough, and it’s totally worth it if you do!

Each page gives an awkward situation where a girl (presumably you) gets deflowered by a different kind of gentleman, and then to cover up her embarassment, provides a quip that one could use to be seen as a charming, witty woman. It’s hard to describe so here’s a short passage:

Deflowered and Discovered in Act

You are losing flower in parlor of sorority house. Suddenly, house mother enters and says, “It’s 20 minutes past curfew.”

You say: “My goodness, look at this! My watch stopped.”

Your sorority can probably arrange for a later curfew by applying directly to the Dean of Women.

Miss H.P.

And the more you read, the funnier it gets. I cannot recommend this book more!

I HIGHLY recommend this album to anyone who likes pop music. (Maybe not mainstream pop of the 90’s-00’s, but still…) All of the songs are happy, fun, and super catchy. Classic Robert Schneider.

Super fun! Makes me want to go see them live.
