FIVE HOURS OF ENGLISH HOMEWORK???

Yes...FIVE HOURS OF ENGLISH. Five hours of waxing lyrical about poetry, drama and fiction. Not to mention the essay question (Bane of my life!!) which kills me. GAH!

In other news, lil sis is gone down to Cork for the St. John competitions, go her! (And can they keep her there, please??) God knows we need a little bit of luck against Corkonians, I mean, with the bohs result last night (1-0 to Cork). Brutal ref though.

I've been writing a lot recently, and trying to figure out how the heck to work this thing. Think I'm succeeding. I've written so much lately, it's unreal. Most of it was utter crap, but some of it was salvagable. Yay! I'm thinking about pulling a story I've been writing online, and fixing it into an original fiction. The author, Morgan Kearns, did that with her first novel, Fade To Black, which should be out in the autumn. And I know how it ends! Do you wanna know, do you? Not telling! But she's great, you should buy it. Not sure of the availibility over here though, but Borders would easily order it in for you.

In other news, the Twilight DVD is out now! I'm getting my copy shipped from the US, but I don't know when it'll get here. I may end up with two! :) oh well...

This is an epic post for me, so I'll leave it here. I must shower and get myself to the library *groan*

Post soon!

OMFG It's been forever!

Seriously, I suck at blogging. In my defence, it's been a crazy few months. But I digress. I'm sorry!
In other news, I now own a square of a twilight poster.

That's my square. Yeah. I'll post a big long blog later, PROMISE!

I saw it! Yeah yeah

So, last Friday, (I know I'm crap at updating this month, forgive me.) I went to see Twilight the movie. I'm in love with Jackson Rathbone (Jasper) he's amazing! I'm officially team Jasper, I don't even need fanfic to make me feel this way.
Jasper = Twilight God.
So yeah, the film was great, I really enjoyed it.
I've bought all my Christmas presents, so that's one weight off my mind coming up to the holidays. Fortunately, anyways.
Happy Holidays!

Bah, Humbug

Happy Christmas everyone, it's unlikely I'll be online again, so in the Christmas spirit, I'm saying Happy Christmas.
Twilight is out here tomorrow, and I know I'll see it at least twice. I can't wait! I'm going with a group of friends, and we're all allowing ourselves to squeal like fan girls just once at Rob Pattinson. Can you blame us? He's gorgeous! I feel sorry for our male friend who let himself get dragged in. But he likes the books, and even reads fan fiction.
I'm supposed to be writing the next chapter of It's Been 98 Years, but blogging is so much easier to do when writers block hits. I'm waiting on my next chapter back from my amazing Beta, (Go read 'Not Her' by Heavens Immortal. Go!) Heavens Immortal, so I'm alright. But I've to have a fresh chapter ready by Saturday, it usually takes about a week for her to get it back to me, and I try to update on Saturdays. Hehe.
So, if I can, I'll write a review of Twilight, but I'm not making boy promises!

Yesterday

Went well, suprisingly. I went in and got talking to some people, and was invited to a gig on Saturday. Still not sure if I'm going, but I might. Everyone was really nice, and we had fun. It's been decided who's going for Dail na nóg, and it's not me!
I've got school exams this week, and I'm still pretty nervous about them. My last three are tomorrow, Religion Maths and Business. Not looking forward to it, they're not my best.
I'm trying to convince my mam to take me on a day trip to London next Wednesday to see the Twilight premier, but I doubt I'll be allowed. A girl can dream though. I even said it's all I want for my birthday on Saturday, but I doubt it some how. Oh well.

Parawhores and Twerds

If anyone reads this regularly, they'll soon have realised that I'm infact, a Parawhore. I count myself amongst this group of die-hard Paramore fans, and would possibly do anything to see them play live, which I have. During one of my regular bouts of insomnia last summer, I was reading the paper at 2am on a May morning, when I discovered that there was more tickets availible for Paramore in Simmonscourt. I got excited, went back upstairs to pretend to sleep for a few hours until it was a reasonable time. I phoned my mam when she was in work, and she let me buy tickets. I got them and went to the concert. Not only that, but I was in the mosh pit! I got to hold Josh's hand, and got a little bit excited! Hehehe.
Where am I going with this? Well, I now have something in common with Hayley Williams, apart from being very pale, we're both proud Twerds.
What's a Twerd? I hear you ask. Well it's a person who loves the book Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer, and the other books in the Trilogy. (I refuse to accept that Breaking Dawn is real)
Right now, I'm indulging my passion for both by listening to 'Decode' which is one of the songs they've recorded for the Twilight Soundtrack. I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the film, so I'm hyper/chirpy. Not too good of a combo...

Twilight versus Harry Potter.

So, as so many people know, Twilight and Harry Potter fans have a very fragile relationship, but why?
Well, one of the main reasons, is surprisingly, the actors in the films. Robert Pattinson, who was Cedric Diggory in the HP franchise, albeit for only the fourth film, is Edward Cullen in Twilight. Many HP fans see Pattinson's portrayal of Edward, who is every teenage girls dream (mine included, I'm so Team Edward!) as a betrayal of the film which first brought him fame. Many HP fans are adamant that if Rob wasn't playing Edward, the fuss would have died down long before now, but because he is, people are interested.
Another reason is the actual books themselves. Many people seem to be of the opinion that you can only like one book, whether it be Harry Potter or Twilight. I'm proud to be a fan girl of both, although I do prefer Twilight, but most teenagers I know don't like it, and I enjoy being different! It's not written anywhere that you can't be a fan of both, even four of the hosts on Mugglecast, the major Harry Potter podcast, have started up a new podcast called 'imprint' ( at http://twilightsource.com ) which deals with Twilight only. If stalwarts of the Harry Potter fandom like Andrew Simms, Matt Britton, Laura Thompson and Elysa Montfort can be comfortable enough in the fact that they enjoy both books to feature on two different podcasts, each about a different book series, why can't anyone else?
Now I'm starting to rant, but the only thing I didn't like about the Twilight Saga was book 4, but that is because it was EPIC FAIL.
In short, I am a Twilighter, but I'm also a wannabe squib. Bah! It's all too confusing, I'm now over and out!

Insomnia

I hate it, end of! It's after three am, I can't sleep, so I'm blogging. I've been in my bed for six hours, and nothing. I'll forget that I've got NaNoWriMo to work on, or that I've got an Irish essay and a history exam question both due on monday, then I might be able to sleep! But because I'm not good at occlumency (for all you Harry Potter fans) and I'm not practised at translating 'Ulysses'(The James Joyce book) into different languages like the Cullen clan is, (Twilight Reference) I must deal with insomnia. There is something to be said for being a vampire and not having to sleep!
I just get so fed up of not being able to sleep sometimes. It's almost my birthday, and if someone asked me what I want for my birthday, I'd probably say sleeping pills right now. Grr. And I would hate to be dependant on medicine, unless it was life saving.
I'm currently on around 7000 words on NaNoWriMo, and if you want to add me as a writing buddy, my username is Xparawhorextwerdx and I'm in the Dublin region, and also Buffalo. But I'm simply in Buffalo so that I can slag off all the people from Buffalo who think that they can beat Dublin in the Word War. Dublin is however, coming second in the All Ireland Word War, with Connaught coming fourth, amazingly! But Onyva has only started working, and I am actually shaking in my boots. Although that could be from fatigue! The All Ireland leaderboard looks like this: Ulster, Dublin, Leinster, Connaught, Munster. Now I just have to write like I did today (2000 words) and I might actually win! In all honesty, I doubt I'll win, but it's fun to try anyway.
This has actually turned out rather long, so I shall say goodbye and happy blogging!
