TWIceLIGHT!

I LOVE HIM. I LOVE HIM SO SO MUCH.

And trying to prove that love... for I am very proud, and not at all ashamed, to say that I have seen Twilight twice already! (in one day :) First the midnight (12:01) showing on a very early Friday morning, and then returning to see it again at 2:15pm that day, 12 hours after we left the movie theater at 2:20 am! Best day ever! :)

my custom-made (by me, of course), commemorative shirt and the back side of it. The ink color is glittery silver. Yes, like Edward's skin in sunlight. Sigh.

I went with the fantastic Ballard girls-- Julie, Rebekah and Melissa-- here I am with Melissa at the front of the line. How did we get to the front of the line? Because REBEKAH got there at 2pm to wait! :) (but no one was in line at that time, so she went inside and watched a movie. Then got back in line at 4:30pm. I got there at 8:40pm. I'm a bad friend. But a grateful friend... :)

Bekah at the front! Love her!


... not bad for 2:28 am! Soooo happy...

If you weren't planning on seeing the movie, look again at the top photo collage and realize why you should. Even you, Laney-- he may be no Silvester Stallone, but... well, that's not really a bad thing. Sorry, Laney.

My other friends went tonight, but I figured I probably shouldn't see it more than twice in a weekend, BUT-- I will TOTALLY go with any of you next week to see it/see it again! Truth!

I am 13 years old, btw. And proud of it.

Walker, Texas Ranger for Governor!

Really, I'd rather be blogging about my recent super-great trip to DC/VA, but life's too busy at the moment to focus on that. So, in the meantime, here are some exquisite words from a man who I won't exactly name (so as to distance myself from any potential Google-search hatred as much as possible, as this place has turned into Crazytown) and can't recall actually ever having seen on the big (19-inch) screen for more than a moment before I changed the channel, but for whom I now have a huge respect. 

Well done Mr. N! Please run for office-- it's high time we had a new "actor" in the Governor's seat, after all, and it would be great to have one who would actually stand up for the democratic process...

congratulations, President-Elect Barack Obama!

I may be Republican and I didn't vote for Obama, but I am proud to be an American and happy that we have a president whom the people are excited about. If nothing else, it is encouraging that so many people went out to vote, and if Barack Obama can ignite patriotism in his presidency and help to bring back an overall respect for our country's leaders, I am happy. Apathy makes me sad, and I can't stand it when there is disrespect for our elected president.

So I support you, Obama!

And p.s.-- loved McCain's concession speech. That was absolutely dignified, respectful, humble and just fabulous. Again-- really proud to be an American today.

(above picture: I was in downtown LA a few weeks ago, buying screen printing supplies, and an outside wall on the street next to the store really struck me-- it says a lot...)

And here I am shaking Obama's hand very excitedly. It was such an honor that he came to my school on Halloween!

I'm voting YELLOW

...and I may not be allowed to wear any political attire to the polls (i.e. my well-worn Yes on 8 shirt) but that doesn't mean I'm not going to be whispering "yes on 8 yes on 8 yes on 8" under my breath so silently that the voters in the next booth will think little angels are breathing words of encouragement and guidance into their ears.

Seriously can't wait for this election to be over. I am PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN (wearing my USA shirt today, in lieu of aforementioned controversial proposition shirt), but I am a little nervous about what those Americans in California are going to vote, today. Okay, a lot nervous. It could go either way.

We'll see, tomorrow....!

-And there's not much time to blog right now, I'm in school, but before it's all after the fact--

Last Saturday was a YES ON 8 rally at a prominent intersection in my town, and it was AWESOME!! SO encouraging to hear all the honks (in favor, of course--but in favor or not, did it matter? I love honking!) and see all the thumbs-up, cheers, people driving by waving YES ON 8 signs out their windows, etc. We also got some people pointing "up" with their longest finger towards our signs, that was helpful too. It was like being in a parade, except in reverse, of course, since we were along the sidelines, but good because it was the closest I'll ever be to being the Rose Queen (totally robbed of that at age 17).

I was really hoping that someone would angrily throw something at me, y'know, to take it for the team and become a Rally Martyr. It looked for a while there like that dream wasn't going to happen (though my friend Laney said she'd go buy some eggs and throw them at me), but-- THEN-- dream come true!, these two guys drove by my corner, yelled angrily out the window "RRRRRAWWWWRRRbladdirahdiggeRAWR" and CHUCKED something at us/at my friend Brandy's feet--finally! And awesome, because it was a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Win-win!!

So get out there people-- VOTE VOTE VOTE--

(never been so happy to have people stare at my chest. STARE STARE STARE)

Below is my favorite rally-er...
