i should sleep

...but I've been working on femgenficathon.  Guys, I can no longer lie to myself - I am writing Twilight fic, and I am enjoying it mightily.  Except I'm at 700+ words and Renesmee hasn't even become a hunter yet (and HOW that's going to happen I have no idea) and I still haven't decided if she's going to meet Sam and Dean or anyone else from the show.  Also I sort of want to have a ridiculously cracky ending in which she shoots Jacob with a silver bullet, but I don't think I can do that.  But right now she's just sitting around with her college friends flipping back and forth between hating her family and loving them, and I don't even know.  Trying to make Bella seem at all sympathetic from a character voice that is basically my very poorly disguised personal thoughts about Twilight...is difficult, to say the least.  But the whole point of the ending of Breaking Dawn is that they all live happily ever after as the perfect family so I guess Ren has to like her family at least a little.  Maybe she'll just meet up with Jo and they can talk about how they hate their moms even though they really love them?  Except by the time Renesmee's however old she is, Jo's dead. STUPID EVIL KRIPKE, ARGH.

Soccer in 6 hours.  I really should sleep, probably.

Maybe Renesmee can meet Clairestiel! Hmmmmm.

today in 'i am shallow'

Tom Felton signed with a record label.  This makes me ridiculously happy, partially because I've checked out his stuff on YouTube and he seems legitimately talented to me (I prefer his playing over his singing, but the whole package tended to come out well, IMO), but mostly because it's Tom Felton and I'm a big fangirl.

Also, there's this website where I go when I want to a) look at clothes while b) making fun of people via other people's wit.  It's the great blend of shallow-ness, pretty things + insults, and I love it.  Anyway, I was getting caught up today because I haven't checked it in awhile, and there was this fabulous entry regarding Ewan McGregor, whom I simply adore.  Oh, and Jessica Alba, too.

Ugh.  I woke up at 8am today to go play soccer, which was a really good decision because I like soccer and I like hanging out with my friends and exercise is good, but now I'm really exhausted.

And and and, I want to see Inception!  Supposedly it's very Bourne, which I approve of mightily. Maybe I will do that tomorrow, if all the showings have stopped being sold out way ahead of time.

ETA: It also must be said that Mr. Leo DiCaprio is looking MIGHTY FINE. And Marion Cotillard is in Inception! How did I not know this before? Why are they only promoting Leo and Ellen Page? Huh huh huh?

Fandom Conversations with...my mother?

I'm shocked, too.  And it wasn't really fandom, but it was decidedly fannish!  I forget how we got onto the subject but I think it was because she asked me if I liked the Eclipse movie (my mom really really likes Twilight.  I don't even know.  It's like how I enjoy it and like to talk about it, except she really just LIKES it.  I like it but mainly because I like talking about/fixing/bashing it's problems while lauding the supporting characters, while she just thinks it's really really great fun.  We do agree that it's not well-written, though.  I admire my mom and her intellect a lot, but her general choice in reading tends to be of the 'trashy' - her word - detective-y murder mystery type, and, yeah.  We don't tend to discuss our respective reading much.  And she was the one who first heard about Twilight and thought it sounded awesome and bought me the book.).  ANYWAY, it turned into a great dinner conversation about how cool it would be to have class with Emma Watson and how brilliant it must have been to grow up literally at Hogwarts.  And then I said YEAH, AND THOSE LUCKY KIDS WHO GREW UP IN NARNIA, and she didn't even laugh at me!  

It was really cool.
