50!

Wahoo! This is post 50. Count 'em baby! Isn't that exciting? I sure think so. Have I honestly been blogging that long? Man, time does fly when you're having fun, eh?

Hmmm, what does one write on their fiftieth post? I could write about my weakening immune system and vulnaribility to even the commonest of colds. (I stayed home today because I'm ill). Or I could write about my sad attempt to make a suprise dinner for my mom and family. I told her that I had learned how to make "something" last weekend at a friend's house (which I did) but when she asked if she needed to buy anything special, I couldn't tell her seeing as every ingredient is so distinct. All I could tell her to buy was eggs. Any other ingredient would give it away. Honestly. I can't even tell you what they are because she'll probably read this post!

My librarian is out to get me. She's teaching our English class how to research biographical information "properly". I'm afraid I'll go to school tomorrow with a pile waist-high of work that I missed. What's funny, though, is that I'm not the only who isn't necessarily fond of her. She's got a little army of passionately devoted followers (almost like a cult) but besides that everyone else hates her.

David Hernandez is my favorite American Idol guy this season. I adore his voice, and he's so cute! Google him. You'll be pleased...as I am.

I'm finally on the HARD level on Guitar Hero. It's pretty hard. But I like it. The songs I play are now starting to sound like the real songs on the recordings. After a good solid session of playing, my fingers start to tremble from strumming the button so fast. It usually takes me a minute or two to let my eyes readjust and my hand stop shaking. Strange, isn't it? Maybe I should take a couple days off...


Well this has been fun, hasn't it? I'm not really sure what people could possibly say about all this, but go ahead. Comment away!

This is Gonna Be Great!

The complete Cullen family has been casted (finally!) for the upcoming thriller-romance Twilight, based on Stephenie Meyer's genius work. You can go to www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilight_movie.html to see other pictures, and the official scoop.

I honestly am pretty happy with the choices, with the exception of Jasper -- the supposed hansome blond on the far left-- who in my opinion was casted incorrectly. I was a little skeptical about their choice of "Edward" when they first announced him, but with his supporting family, I think he fits in with them, complimenting them and vice versa. Alice and Edward look perfect together, (they are the closest brother and sister combination in the family due to their ESP-like communication) and Carlisle (the father) looks perfectly perfect and very doctorish. That's a good thing.

Make sure to leave a comment and tell me what you're thinking!



**Edit: Jasper's on the far right. I was just testing you. To make sure you were paying attention. And you've passed the test**

"I must now stand aside, for our party and our country," Romney told conservatives.
"If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror," Romney told the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington.

You've got to love Romney for that speech, come on. As my dear friend Sara commented to me, "He's got class!" How true that is.

Dad recieved an e-mail today from one of his friends who made an interesting, and I think very valid point. He said, "After that speech today, Gov. Romney is going to be the most popular candidate come 2012. See you in four years in New Hampshire."

He and my father drove to New Hampshire this year to rally and campaign with the governor, and Dad went by himself to Florida (yes, Florida) to work for his candidate. That is dedication. He also hasn't let us kids forget that his father worked for the Reagan campaign in '68 and '76, both years when he did not win nomination until 1980 when he did. There is still hope, and Dad is continually optimistic. No heartbroken teardrops at our house. We'll hang on to those MITT '08 stickers to hand around in a couple of years. It should be interesting how the rest of this election plays out, though. Especially on the Democratic side, oh my goodness. I don't think that McCain will be able to beat Obama - he'll tear him limb from limb - and I'm not sure what would happen between him and Hillary.

What do you all think?
