Zoo... Again!

Went to the Zoo with Mum, Dad and Jessica on Monday. Yay! It was a pretty good day. I think we got there around 12pm-ish and left around 4pm-ish. So yeah, about 4 hours at the Zoo. Awesome, yes!? Yah! Except for the mounds of people and little annoying children lol. That'll teach us for going on a public holiday! I'm gonna link to Jess's post on her blog because she's got more of a recount and lots'a awesome piccu's! c:

Hmmm. Oh yeah, I picked up my glasses yesterday! They're quite nice xP. It's gonna take me a while to get used to them again. I can see so much better now, though! I'm all "Hey! I can see that person's face over there! :o", "Omg! I can see the top of the trees!" and "I can watch Smallville in the lounge now without having to sit with my face against the screen! Awesome!" xD. They're tinted, too *nodnod*. They're also D&G lol. I took a quick picture (eugh) before going to the shops this afternoon, heh.

Yush.

*Gasps* Maaan, I'm getting even more excited for the Twilight movie! We're getting pictures and set stories from extras and people that are able to visit the set. Everything sounds so awesome so far. Heee! :D I joined a small Twilight Forum, too. The Imdb boards were getting a bit crazy for me! And it's easier to get around and find updates c:. It's much more calmer there, too hehe.

Uhm... what else? *Taps chin* I don't know lol. How boring! xD

Movie Stuff:

How did you first find out about the movie?
I think it was mentioned on TV, when they were talking about the book series.

Are you excited?
Yep! Rob Pattinson, ladies! xD Love him. <--Indeed!

What do you think of the casting so far?
Perfectly happy with them all - though I have a few tiny issues with Jackson (Jasper) and Nikki (Rosalie). <-- Yeah...

Are you going to go see it?
Of course! Come to think of it, I need to make a Twilight shirt... <-- Hell yes! I want to make a Twilight shirt. Jess got these two shirts to wear together a while ago (one was green, the other yellow, right? Worn as layers), and I wanted to get the same ones but red and black... then get "Twilight I'm with the vampires" embroided on the black one worn over the top of the red one. Sooo we went to back JayJays. They had them in black, but not red *crushed* haha. We haven't really looked since then xP.

Planning on going with anyone in particular?
Well Sarah jumped and said we're going with her, but the more the merrier! I'll be nitpicking throughout the whole movie though, I won't shut up. xD <-- Mmm lol.

Do you think it will stay true to the book?
I read through the script sides and they actually seem pretty close to the book, so I'm really happy about that. But I thought I read something about Edward telling Bella he's a Vampire. Just. No. That's now how it goes! And somewhere in it Bella makes a joke with the Cullens and Edward and the rest laugh about it. That kinda annoyed me a liiittle. 'Coz if I remember rightly Edward didn't find any of her Vampire jokes funny, lol. I dunno... <-- Yeah... though I know that the side scripts aren't 100%, right?

Breaking Dawn Speculation:

Are you planning on buying this book as soon as it's out?
Friggin' yes!

Do you think Bella will be turned into a vampire finally?
I bloody well hope so, lol. Must. Have. Happy. Ending. <-- *Nods furiously*.

Do you think she and Edward will get married?
Hmmm I hope so. Or will they...?

Do you think Jacob might imprint in this book? He better! Poor Jake got the short end of the stick, I hope he finds someone. :) <-- Yeahhh poor Jakey.

Who do you think Bella will end up with : Edward or Jacob?
Edward!

Do you think it will be a happy, sad, or shocking ending?
HAPPY DAMMIT.

Who do you think will be the villain(s) of the book this time?
I dunno...the Volturi, maybe? I don't want a Cullen/Werewolf war. :( <-- Agreed. I've heard people say something about the coven from Denali... that might be interesting.

How would you feel about a possible vampire / werewolf cross?
Haha that would be kind of weird. Can werewolves be turned, I wonder...?

Will Charlie find out Edward is a vampire?
Hmmm!

Will the vampires and werewolves continue the truce they had in Eclipse?
I dunno. They said that the Cullens aren't allowed on their land... but it's okay when Carlisle's there to look after Jake? Gah you can't pick and choose, guys :P.

If anyone, who do you think will die in this book?
Nobody, dammit! Well, apart from the bad guys. And not Jake! *looks at previous Twilighter's answer* If he does, I'll cry! LOL I dunno. He better not! <-- Uh-huh. AWWW! Someone wanted Jacob to die...? *Blinks*.

For a twist: what would you think if Edward was somehow turned human? Uhmmm? I dunno. That... no lol.

Do you think Jacob will be over Bella by the end of the book? I don't know. I hope he moves on. Dammit Jake better get a happy ending! <-- Mhmm.

What do you most want to happen in Breaking Dawn?
Happy endiiing... and I want Bella to be turned!

(A Few Last Things:)

In which book did you like Bella's character best?
Gah I dunno lol.

How about Edward's?
All of them. Well I didn't like him for a little while in New Moon, the fool! But all is forgiven. xP <-- Totally.

Jacob's?
All. Jake rocks. Of course I was pissed at somethings he did, but give the guy a break! Lol. <-- Yesh!

Alice's?
All of them! She's the best, lol. <-- Is it annoying that I keep agreeing with Jess? xD WELL my answers are gonna be pretty much the same, anyways haha *lazybum*.

If it were possible...who would you most want to meet in person?
...how am I supposed to answer that? xD Ahhh I dunnoooo. Edward? Alice? Jacob? <3!

The Eye and 10,000 BC.

Yesterday was another lunch date with Mum, Lucy, Sarah Jess and myself at Caff'e Primo. They changed the calamari rings! :c The garlic bread was yummy, though :D. Today Sarah came over (she gave us some movies yesterday 'coz she said she would probably forget to bring them over today xP) and we watched The Eye and 10,000 BC. The Eye was pretty good. I wanted to go to the cinemas to see it, but I'm glad I didn't! I would've been so embarrassing haha. Okay I wouldn't be that bad, but I'd probably be more scared because the music would be LOUD and it'd be dark... yeah haha. 10,000 BC was, at the least, VERY BORING. I'm sorryyy Steven :c. The only reason I wanted to see the movie was because Steven Strait was in it xD. Gahhh I got so bored near the end that I walked out. Glad I didn't go to the cinemas to see that one, either!

Oh, Jess and I bought season 6 of Smallville a while ago. Now we've started watching season 1 again. We're on our way up! Lol. I forgot how much I liked that show hehe.

Ummm what else? Tomorrow I've got my eye appointment thingo. Yay. "Better, worse, or the same? *Flicks to another lense* Better, worse, or the same? *repeat a million times*", "Don't squint!" haha.

Lately I've been looking for more books to read hehe. I've seen people talking about other book series that they like on the Imdb boards, so I thought I'd check some 'em out. These ones sound kind of cool:

Vampire Academy series- Richelle Mead
Vampire Academy
Frostbite

The Mediator series - Meg Cabot
Love You to Death
High Stakes
Mean Spirits
Young Blood
Grave Doubts
Heaven Sent

Blue Bloods series - Melissa de la Cruz
Blue Bloods
Masquerade

Just gotta find 'em now! I'm waiting for the next book in the House Of Night series to come out in Australia, too. Grrr hurry up!

Oh, So You Think You Can Dance is on now!

*~Danielle~*

*Squee*!

I knew I had something in mind when I opened blogger, but I can't remember what it was now. Friggen!

...hmmm. Blah whatever. Prepare for some rambling, I'm kinda bored! xD (Wth, the 'k' button on this keyboard is being a total bum. I have to practically bash it to get it to work. I keep seeing red squiggly lines everywhere! Haha)

Ohhh, oh my gosh. I'm so excited for the Twilight movieee! I've decided I'm not gonna stress too much over the casting and, you know, any deviations from the book. Because I know the movie isn't going to be an exact blueprint of the book, so I'm gonna try to keep the movie separate from the books *nods wisely* lol. I can deal. I'm re-reading Twilight for the third time now. Almost done! ...what? I got bored! Cx

Speaking of the cast, I seriously love who they've cast (and oh my gosh you guys, casted is not a word haha. It makes me giggle. Not laughing at you or anything, though xP) for Emmett, Alice and Carlisle! Oh and Mike, Jessica, Angela, Victoria. So awesome. The others are alright heh :P (besides Edward and Bella, of course! <3).

(Gah! Just noticed that blogger cut out some of my post here! :c I'll try to remember what I was on about. I was on a serious sugar high when I wrote this xD) I've been hanging out at the Imdb Twilight boards a lot lately. And man, how can people be so mean? (not everyone! Most people on there are pretty awesome) It's fair enough if you're like "Robert Pattinson ( he's been cast as Edward, vampire dude in the Twilight movie, FYI lol) isn't what I imagined as Edward" 'coz that's your opinion, right? But some people are like "OMG HE'S SO UGLY! HE'S GONNA RUIN THE MOVIE!!11" or "I WISH HE'D BREAK BOTH HIS LEGS SO THEY CAN CAST SOMEONE ELSE. HE MAKES ME SICK". Like, whoa. If you're gonna express your opinion, at least be civil and mature, people haha. Poor guy. He said in an interview that he's received bags of hate mail. That makes me sad, guys. I mean, really :c. And I don't think he's the only one getting bashed. [/endminirant] Oh wells, whatever. I need to send the guy some love haha. I've never written fan mail though, and I'd feel totally lame xP.

I'LL SHUT UP ABOUT TWILIGHT NOWWW.

I made my bed today. Isn't that exciting!? I kinda had to, Brandy filled my bed with grass yesterday >:[. Little bitch! Haha. Some bits were still stuck in the sheets last night (that I couldn't dust off in my pissed-off-ness). So yeaaah.

...you guysss (well, whoever reads this lol. Which isss?) I think I might go back to wearing glasses *shudder*. Just in case you don't remember (and I don't mind typing it up. Still bored haha) I stopped wearing glasses 'coz I got this lens (I only needed one 'coz the other just copies what the other sees. Lazy bum) that I wear at night that's supposed to shape my eye... to the correct shape or whatever, so I can see properly. The first one I got was good. But then after a while it didn't really do much, or it over corrected it, 'coz my eye was 'changing'. So I got a new one (by the way I think the lens is about $300, psh! Thank god I only need one, or I'd feel really baaad :\) and that one was good for a while. But then it broke (luckily on the day I had an appointment with the optometrist dude. I know, right!? Lol) so I got another one. Now it doesn't seem to be doing so well (again :c). And I hate how sometimes it feels like my eye's been punched. Like, tenderised haha. Sooo... I know I'll be able to see accurately with glasses, but they get so annoying, man. And they make me feel even more self-conscious. Bah. The whole librarian thing is hot, right? xD Kidding.

Hell! This is kinda long. I'll stop my rambling now. You'd never think I was shy if I was like this in person haha. Shhhh *shifty glances*.

*~Danielle~*

Zoo!

Wednesday Jess, Jodie, Jason, Jason's girlfriend Alicia and myself went to the Zoo. I looove going to the Zoo hehe! It was a pretty good day for it, too. Weather wise, I mean hehe.

Sooo... We got a little bit lost on the way haha. What should've taken about what, 20 minutes or something? Took us about uh... an hour haha. I have like, no sense of direction! I don't think anyone of us did, either lol. Jodie had to keep ringing her Mum xD. We should've just followed along Torrens River in the first place! Ahaha. We did on the way back, though. Yay.

So we got the the Zoo around 3pm, so that meant we had about 2 hours to see the animals. We ended up splitting up (myself, Jess and Jodie going one way, Jason and Alicia another) lol. Even though we had to rush around a little bit, it was still fun! We missed a few animals, though :'c. Oh wells! There's always next time hehe.

Mygosh, I totally adore Red Pandas! Augh, they're so darn cute! *squee*. And the monkeys. I love monkeys. African Painted Dogs weren't out again, which sucked. I think I've only seen them running around once :\. Andandand Tree Kangaroos, Bongos, Tigers, Lions, Meerkats, seals, zebras... bah! I love them allll. Jess has some awesome pics on her blog, though! c:

So, yeah! It was an awesome day! I had fun, anways hehe. I can't tell you how much my legs/back/arms/feet were hurting the day after, man! Shows how much of a lazy bum I am and how often I go out xD. Go team!

*~Danielle~*

Golden Compass.

Last Friday Sarah, Jess, Mum and myself went to see The Golden Compass. I thought it was pretty good, got a bit boring at parts (probably 'coz I wanted to go home and read my book! lol) buuut I like the whole daemon thing. Kinda cool. I did that quiz thing on the website aaand, well the first time I did it I got a lion, but the internet was being an ass and it wouldn't let me e-mail the code... and I ended up with Nithreus the Lynx :3.

Aaand it was Sarah's 19th birthday on Saturday. We got her a nice pair of Pink Sapphire earings which she liked c:. Hope you had an awesome day/night, Sarah! :D

Oh and I read the Twilight series again... okay, I admit. It's kinda awesome lol. Better the second time, 'coz I was kinda prejudiced (notHarryPotterwhat? :o) the first time 'round haha. I was gonna write all this stuff about it but, meh. Who wants to hear it, anyway? xD Blarg, hurry up and write the next book/ make the movie! *twitchtwitch*. And omg I have that The Little Things Give You Away by Linkin Park song stuck in my head. It's been playing non-stop in my brain since I finished the last book! The first time I read through the last book and I kind of focused back on what was going on around me, I heard the song playing in the spare room. So whenever I hear that song, it reminds me of the book/Jacob lol.

Blah... I need to get out more. I've been sitting on my butt too much reading those books. Damn you, Edward. Damn you! :P

Yeah... just felt like writing a blog 'coz I'm bored. Hrm. *Wanders off*

*~Danielle~*

Twilight.

Okay, so on Friday Mum went to the library (and got her usual half a dozen books, or something lol) and she bought all three books in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, too (they don't have them at the library)! :o So yeah... I finished reading them yesterday afternoon hehe. I thought it was pretty good at the beginning, then it started to get all mushy and blarggg... (oh yeah, romance novel lol) and the second book got a bit slow in parts... but by the end of the third one I was all "...what? That's it? That's not an ending *I want moarrr*! :c". So then I found the authors website and found out that there's still two more books coming out. W00t! xD One's the next in the series, and the other's a companion book or something... a version of the first book, but from the vampires point of view, instead of the girl's. I've read the rough draft of the first chapter on that website, and it sounds pretty interesting hehe. Andanddd the movie! I so lol'd when I found out that Robert Pattinson (Cedric from the Harry Potter movies) is gonna be Edward hehe! I found out before I read the books, so I was trying to imagine him as Edward while I was reading the books haha. And that chick from Zathura is gonna be Bella, the leading lady. Both of 'em look good to me! c: Can't wait to see the movie now Cx. Hmm I'll write more (psh, more!? D:) about the books when I've read them again lol (if anyone wants to hear about them xD).

Man, I had a whole lot of deviations and messages to check on Deviantart, 'coz I hadn't been on there in like, five days haha. Oops. Finished looking at the deviations, just gotta check my messages... feh, I'll do it tomorrow :P.

Oh yeah, on Saturday Jess, Jodie and myself went to see 27 Dresses, which was pretty funny! And mushy, augh lol. I can't help but roll my eyes/stick my tongue out at lovey-dovey moments haha.

Blah, I'll stop blabbing now haha. I'm waiting for Jess to finish reading Twilight so I can read it again xD.

*~Danielle~*
