Strange Goings On....

So last night's post was a cry for help....a desperate woman in need of desperate help.  My OB 1 came to my rescue and told me to put that FUCKING BOOK DOWN and pick up a SMEYER and to do it now!

As a result of the Intervention I updated my status on FB declaring that I was saved, then went away to open that beloved copy of Eclipse and immerse myself in Forks. It was then I walked past where The Historian was sitting, calling me, and I did the unspeakable....I picked it up and sat down and kept reading it! OME what have I done! I tell you, I was drawn to it like the characters in the story are drawn to that evil yet intriguing man Vlad Tepes.   There wasn't anything I could do! I was locked in to it's tractor beam.....I was sooo close to finishing it and I really wanted to know what would happen, so I'm sorry Carls I lied. I sat on the couch reading through something like 1100 flipping pages intently until it happened! I finished....woah!! First I felt triumphant for mananging to make it through a book laden with sooo much history...but then I realised, "What I am now left to do?" and without saying, we all know what that is! With that in mind I went to bed ready to dive into that 3rd book in the morning.......

But I awoke this morning to a little note from bud Carls alerting me to something extra-ordinary. It reminded me of something that happened to me about 2 weekends ago. 

The note from Carley pointed me to http://www.robsessedpattinson.com/2010/06/robert-pattinsons-long-lost-relative.html a fan site for all things Rob of course duhhh....anyway Carley had stumbled on a post linking our beloved Rob to the Evil Prince himself Vlad Tepes the Impaler the original Dracula!!!! I read the post and well it seems a little far fetched but possible...my mum's family dates back to William the Conquerer so who knows!! According to genealogist Anastasia Tyler the Prince brothers William and Harry are distant cousins to Rob and Vlad is the princes way distant Uncle! Read the whole post and decide for yourself at the link above! 

                                                                                   (Note from Carls: Hello Lover...)

I guess my thoughts are sort of mixed about the truth to this but if you research things far enough people are all connected in some way.....right??? What does this have to do with me well I was thinking maybe I'm experiencing some wierd sub concious twi addiction or someone or something is trying desperately to drag me back into Forks?   The book that I have just finished as I've explained was all about the history of Vlad Tepes and a group of historians on a search to find his tomb.....and I couldn't stop reading it! I was living in this post war era wondering where the quest would take us next Instanbul, Bulgaria, Romania....it was a great read.  But seeing this post makes me think I was supposed to finish that book before getting back to Twilight and maybe there was something more to me reading it in the first place...!

CAUTION: What I am about to show you may lead you to believe that there are strange things in the atmosphere trying to force me and Twilight back together!

It was a sunny winters Sunday morning too nice to stay inside...I convinced DH that a drive was called for and we set out toward the historic town of Windsor...well we turned this way and that and found ourselves in the sleepy little town of Kurrajong!  It was a nice drive and in turning down the main street into the Kurrajong village I openly admired a little church on the corner and little old cemetery that was lying at the back of it.  We pulled into the town and not much was going so we decided to head back to Windsor for lunch...as we went back past the church I said to DH "it would be cool to go have a poke around the old cememtery" with that he turned around we got and stretched our legs and took in the beautiful view that was down one side over looking the valley.  We enjoyed the view for a little while then we headed back up to read some of the head stones....

Are you sitting down...???

The first headstone I laid my eyes was in rememberance of Edward Cullen! WHAT THE FUCK!!! EDWARD CULLEN?????????

I couldn't believe it....why was this happening....I rubbed my eyes like you see in animated films then my eyes popped out of their sockets!  Once I got over that I had found an 109 year old headstone with Edward Cullens name on it....I read the rest.......

Are you still sitting down...??

(Note from Carls: Poor Edward Cullen. He must be rolling in his grave! No chance to rest in peace with me uttering his name out loud a hundred times a day!!!!)

WTF! Check those words out! Not only does it make reference to the soul that Edward Cullen doesn't think he has but the guy died the year that our Edward was born!   I sent the picture of this headstone to Seth Stephanie Meyers brother via his web master page with the hope that she might get a glance of it and maybe even have a giggle but I haven't heard anything back! Will keep you posted!

I was drawn to the church and the cemetery the way the I was by The Historian........I really need to read Eclipse hey??? LOL (Note from Carls: Get to it Twi-lover!!!!)

Lets do the time warp again.......

I think I'm living in a time warp...where has the last month gone?? Can anyone explain the phenomenon that has just occurred in my life???

I swear it was only yesterday that I waited patiently for my twi buds Carls and Fi at the candy bar with two buckets of coke and a 44 gallon drum of popcorn  (apparently these sizes are large???? why at the cinemas is everything like 5 times the size??)

 Anyway where was I.....yeah.....waiting patiently to all go in and see the "Intimate Q & A" with Kristen Stewart and "Taylor Lautner".  Speaking of which was fun, we managed to get a glimpse of the sibling type relationship that Taylor and Kirsten have....as for host Richard "the Dick" Wilkinson he was atrocious! He got the names of the movies wrong he asked the same question like 3 different ways, clearly didn't do any research on the topic at all and it was so obvious by Kristen "Hot Legs" Stewart's body language that she totally wasn't interested!  It was only when the fans asked her questions did we really get a glimpse of the real person.   Unfortunately the only thing that stands out from that night was something that The Dick said when talking to the fans along the red carpet it went like this......."G'day there...where are you from" This cute bubbly excited girl yells Penrith and for some reason at that moment there was a lull in the crowd and The Dick says into the mic....and I quote " well hahhaha that shut them up!!!" Fi, Carls and myself nearly died!!! Who is he to judge a young girl by where she lives! The west makes up nearly 75% of Sydney thanks Richard and not everyone who lives out here/there are bogans!!! UHHHHH that just topped it off for me....I wish Gen Begg had done the interview god knows it would of been sooo much better! 

Did I mention that Gen aka SydneyTwiMum made it in to the Q & A?? I know right amazing! Thanks to everyone who jumped on the Let SydneyTwiMum interview Taylor and Kristen campaign...Nova got wind of the following she had and presented her a ticket into the interview which was aired on Channel 7 the night of the interview! Some of her up and close photos are below.  Pretty awesome hey?!

The infamous lip bite

So whats been going on since then??? Sooo much there has been new stills.....the soundtrack has been released, by now everyone has read and re-read the Short second life of Bree Tanner......there been some new photos of Rpatz and all the cast...it was Edward Cullens birthday on the 21/6 and Summit officially released info that Breaking Dawn will be released in two films with the first one released on 18/11/11.....the list could go on and on....

Honestly I don't think I missed any of it but something is a miss a month ago I thought I was back and I was (I'm sure) until that thing called life starting tugging at my shirt and then my limbs then before I knew it I was utterly consumed by it - I want that feeling back that excitement that buzz...that tingly adrenaline kind of feelilng.....I don't want my twi love to go from hot sweaty "i wanna do it all the time" lust to a boring I'm going to bed early "I've got a headache" marriage...a week out from New Moon last year I needed rehab I was a junkie searching everywhere for a hit....literally shaking if I hadn't found or seen or heard anything twi related after only 5 mins!   This time I've been too mature about it all...I'm not growing up am I? I'm not getting over it am I?? I can't be...surely not...this can't be happening....I need to blame something.....or someone......I won't blame that someone cause I do love him and don't want a divorce! Soooo I know I'll blame.......The Historian! 

How has this guy the real Vlad Tepes....got me distracted....ughhhhh

The more and more I think about it the more and more I realise it is this book. Its a challenging historical read about historians and they're quest to discover the tomb of Vlad Tepes the Impaler - DRACULA (wooo la di da).  Its a great read and I'm impressed with myself that I've nearly finished but no matter how much I read it, it just doesn't seem to end.......a bit like this post!!!

WHOOOP WHOOOP *RED LIGHT FLASHING* INTERVENTION PEOPLE! I NEED AN INTERVENTION......please post your ideas to help me SNAP THE FUCK OUT OF IT!!!

That is all k thanx bye.........

(Note from Carley....)
Ally, Ally, Ally, I hate to admit it but I kind of know what you are talking about. No, I have not been reading the historian... but I did give Wuthering Heights a go. As a matter of fact, I also found myself stuck in a non-twilight-but-slightly-related-cause-it's-still-about-vampires reading frenzy for several months... actually, if I am  honest, since New Moon last year. In fact, I have become a "Series Whore", lusting after and devouring series after series of hot, sexy, vampy characters and their chaste sexual (or flat out R rated in the case of the Sookie books) encounters!!!
But that's not all!!! In my attempt to feed my addiction fill the void that was left after New Moon I discovered the world of Fan Fiction. Now, there's some hot, heavy r-rated very interesting, entertaining and addictive stories out there and they should come with a warning. Get too involved in this world and all of a sudden you won't recall where Breaking Dawn ends and Renesmee and Jacob's story begins... YES Twi-crack addicts, people write this stuff... and some of it is good. Really good. The kind of good that makes you (and your DH ) VERY happy you discovered it ;)

So,  Ally, I feel your pain. I too was grieving the loss of my daily Twi High that found me passionately glued to my TWEET DECK waiting for an update, a high-quality movie still, a leaked scene, an interview with the presh, a panty ripping, heart stopping close up of Robward in a meadow...

You ask me how to get it back?

 

PUT DOWN THAT FUCKING BOOK AND PICK UP A SMEYER NOW!!!

 

I mean it. Stop reading that mature, historical, literary classic right this second!!!! You can always come back to it, I promise. It will still be there after the rush of Eclipse is over. It's time to channel your inner 17yr old - yes her! You know the one! She pants at the mere mention of Edward's cool, marble lips. She quivers and shivers when Edward takes his icy fingers and traces the line from her chin, to her neck and along her collar bone. She heaves lustily when Edward hitches her leg over his hip on that huge golden bed of his... Jogging any memories? I promise you. This is the key to a successful 'interforksion'. You have to go back there. You have to pick up that dog eared, coffee stained, much loved copy of Eclipse and lose yourself in Forks all over again.

 

It worked for me. I am half way through the book and baby, I am back!!!!
