HOLY FUDGE, I Won An Award

Well this is kind of a shock but I won my first blog award today. It's called the Summer Blogger's Award and I was awarded it by Ellie from Musings of a Bookshop Girl. Her own blog is actually really funny and it makes me wish that I lived near that shop but I'm fairly positive it's in Britain and I don't live in Britain sadly. If I did live in Britain, I think I would be very happy because Britain has loads more independant Bookshops then where I live. Then again, I pretty much live in my local Library and My Local Borders where I get the vast majority of my books from. I'm even planning to save up my monies so I can have a little fun in that Bookstore. Hehehehe...
But I digress.

Sunrise, Sunset. Sunrise Sunset.
Isn't this award pretty?
Like seriously, I kind of adore it now. It's got a picture of the shore, which is a favorite place of mine and I keep imagining that little person in the picture is me, watching the sunrise in the morning. Which if I was actually at the Beach like I was a few weeks ago, I wouldn't be up that early. I would be dead asleep because Hello? I would be on Vacation.


So I've gotta give this award out to four rocking bloggers and leave a comment on their blog saying that they won and then leave a link to this post and suff. That is the rules. This requires actual pondering, doesn't it? Well awesome because I think I think I've got four nerdtastic bloggers to award with this blog. I was almost about to cuss but I must keep my readers minds pure and innocent(Which I know they aren't) .
And the winners are...*rather impressive drumroll inserted here*

I just like this girl's blog. Especially the design of her blog, it's just so darn pretty. She's also a great writer and I love her work. Read it or BE SHUNNED FOR LIFE
I found this blog through the lovely website named Fanfiction.net. She is a kickass writer, her cupcake recipes are fabulous, and I think she just deserves the award.  She is also publishing a book that used to be a Fanfiction which I did read and it was brilliant. Read this Blog.
It's a hilarious blog. This woman is funny, and I heard she wrote a book that is being released to the world, the big world full of enthusiastic book lovers  who will welcome this writer and her first book with open arms. She is a good writer and It's Fun to Read. BUY HER BOOK AND READ HER BLOG.
It could be possible that I just pick this Blog and Blogger because I love the title of the blog and the way she rates a book. But in all due perspective, I like this blog. You might love it too so check it out.

So those are my winners and I would go post a comment on their respectable blogs right now but it's late and I'm alittle tired. I'll do it anyways because I know I will forget and then this post will be worthless because I'll remember in the middle of October and that would make me look silly. Even though I am silly alot.
Next blog Post Shall be: Book Review.
Farewell friends.

Bree Tanner Has a Short Life.(Review)

As you know or may not, I am a Twilighter.
And if you cannot understand what a Twilighter is or basically live in a hole or are basically illiterate then stop reading now for you have a serious mental condition that should be treated and should not be reading my blog as much as I love when people besides me actually read it.
But I digress.

Bree Tanner is a girl, who if you didn't know is a newborn vampire who was created to be apart of a newborn vampire who plan to attack the Cullen family and Bella Swan, who will hereby be refered as Human Pet in any blog situation from now on
When Bree Tanner was introduced to my reading loving eyes in Eclispe, I just thought she was a silly newborn who was smart to surrender. I was kind of busy imagining myself in the movie as her because that would have been really cool, so you can tell I didn't pay much attention to the character and her small role in the book. I was also more focused on what was going on between Eddie who will now be known as Sparkles, and Human Pet. Plus the Fabu Cullens. They are pretty cool.
Anyways..
Enter the Second Short Life of Bree Tanner, which is a 178 page novella, pretty short but full of awesome.
And during my two hour period of reading, I realized just as many people who read these Twilight Books, that Bree Tanner is a completely different perspective from the old whiney "Why won't you change me?" "I love you forever and ever and ever so please do the nasty with me" "I want you even if it's dangerous because I like danger and blah blah blah" "OW I CUT MYSELF! BLOOD IS EVERYWHERE! KEEP JASPER AWAY" that has grown into Bella's mind. It's got this lovely thing called personality and we get to see life of a type of newborn vampire who although is more humane and intelligent than her "colleagues" are. Infact her "colleagues" are the common newborn vampires, you know insane with thirst, incredibly violent and strong and not good looking because their faces are ravaged with thirst and more anger.  Lovely little monsters if you ask me. Bree is alot like the newborns  but  she has a possibly more stable mental setting. She can think straight but it takes a few minutes to process.
There is also this dude named Diego. Diego, is what most Twi-hards would immedietly call Bree's Love Intrest. And yes I agree their would-have-been love would have been intresting to see.  But so-far out of all of the characters in this book I like Diego best. He's smart for starters. He kind of understands this new life he's been given. He's also funny. And Hot. He's like my secret prince charming who will come rescue me from the clutches of my evil stepparents who just happens to be funny, insanely hot, and SMART. THIS MEANS HE MIGHT ACTUALLY USE PROPER GRAMMAR AND SPELLING IF I WERE TO TALK TO HIM ONLINE! I wish he was real.
I like Diego.
Now as I finish my little ol' rant on my non-existant prince charming(he will appear one day), I gotta finish up the review.
BUY THIS BOOK GOSH DARNIT. BUY IT AND LOVE IT AND READ IT AND NEVER GET RID OF IT. IT DESERVES FIVE FREAKEN GOLD STARS BECAUSE IT GIVES A FRESH POINT OF VIEW AND IT"S THE POINT OF VIEW OF AN ACTUAL NEWBORN AND NOT BELLA SWAN, WHO IS PROBABLY THE WORLD"S DULLEST NEWBORN EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE LITTLE TEMPER TANTRUM ABOUT JAKEY-DEAREST IMPRINTING ON HER NEWBORN INFANT!

What the Hell is a Hufflepuff?

Currently Listening to: Erin McCarley and Elvis Costello
Mood: Poetic and Philosophical
Wearing: My Badass Green Nerdglasses with No Frames
In the Mood for: Writing and Music

Wow. It's been a while since I last blogged. I'm bad at this.
But I got some news, some rants, and a little fan girl reactions. So I hope you five followers of my blog are prepared.
Well I went to the shore as I stated in my last post long ago. It was a hoot. I went to the movies, saw Grown Ups which was Brilliant, ate some Awesomely tasty ice cream, and sniffed books (Which is now my new favorite odd habit). I also went to the beach obviously and DID NOT SUNBURN HOOT!
I have a short history of burning badly because either A: I did not put on enough or no sunscreen or B: The sun likes making me feel uncomfortable.
Either way I somehow survive in the end, feeling uncomfortable but alive.
Also I sat around the beach house that my parents rented, surfing the web, listening to music, and of course reading blogs and books and such. The only suckish part besides the house being suckish in general, was the fact that the TV did not work. The owner had to go out and buy a new TV, had to stop by and drop it off. The poor woman must have apologized five million times from what my brother said.
Anyways, I had a grand ol' time at the Lovely Jersey shore and now I have returned safely home. Since I have returned, I have finished the Summer Prep program aka Summer school, Slept in, Listened to new Music, Got A hoard of books and Cds from the Library(which is my Second home), and Saw a Very Potter Sequel. This nerdy girl is now obsessed with Harry Potter.
I just started getting back into the world of Wizards and I gotta say I missed it. I wasn't always a mega fan, don't get me wrong. I was always a fan. Whenever the books or movies came out, I became a fangirl, gushing on and on about the topic but then it died down and I went back to normal.

Now I am starting to get into the Fan parodies, WizardWrock, HP fanfics, and all that fun stuff. I still love Twilight but lets face it. Twilight has nothing new going on at the momment. Yeah Breaking Dawn is comming out But EVERYONE KNEW THAT BY NOW. Unless Stephanie writes a new Book about the Vamps or a New Series(that could possibly involve Mermaids and a fantasy world Map from what my sources say) then I'll be pumped up again about that Vampire Writer Chick.
I guess the Popular Trends or fads in my life fade in and out. The only thing that stays strong and should stay strong for the rest of my life is Books.
I've also noticed that this blog is getting some readers now. This makes me happy and maybe one day in the far far future I'll have a fan base and a best selling book series. It will happen one day but for now a girl can dream. Ya,
I think I've ranted enough for now.
So my final words shall be my fav quote from a AVPS.

Peace.

Updates #1: Beach Blues and Books

Famous Last Words of the Day: I've had a hell of a lot of fun and I've enjoyed every moment of it- Errol Flynn


When explaining why a blogger is going on/ has been on hiatus, one must give a number of excuses such as:
Excuse #1: I was captured by an rebel army of Vampires and Gnomes and they wouldn't let me use my computer.

Excuse #2: My parents lost the key to my cage thus I couldn't get to my computer

Excuse #3: I'm a lazy person. I've been sort of busy with this lovely thing called Summer school plus I don't know what to actually blog about unless you want to read me ramble on and on about Twilight which you and I both know that you don't. I also leave for the Jersey Shore in two days meaning the day after tomorrow I leave. So that means a whole week for no Bridge and her rants and Rambles and obession to Tea.

So that's how my life has been most recently. I'm actually susposed to be packing for said week-long beach trip but I decided to blow some steam (or procrastinate) by blogging. I'm really excited for the Shore and stuff because for the last few years, what my family would do is rent this house that was Animal friendly because we happen to love bringing my lovely black lab, Shad to the beach. The funny thing is that everytime my sister and I take him to the beach at night when it's safe for dogs to roam the beaches of New Jersey, he'll drag us into the water enthusiastically but then gets hit multiple times by mini-waves. Then he runs out of the water to safety.
He's such a riot that dog.

But right now I have to really get back to work and packing and stuff. I promise that if I can get internet access while at the beach, I shall do a daily blog of my day, which is kind of like my journal which I really should write in more, but alas I am lazy.

and now until next time,
Peace Love Owls
