Squirrels

There are different types of squirrels: there are country squirrels who don't trust humans since usually rifles follow soon after when country squirrels see people; there are city squirrels who are street smart (literally--I've seen the cross the street and dodge cars and such) but, despite the fact they know we can't kill them with a shotgun, still don't trust humans; then there are Ole Miss squirrels. Maybe squirrels are like this at all universities, but I've only seen them at Ole Miss so that is how I categorize them. These squirrels are fearless--they can cross the road, they fear no human and will let you get within inches of them. They eat dropped food--once a friend of mine tossed an Ole Miss squirrel a waffle fry and it nibbled on it until it was gone. They will run out in front of people just to make them stop suddenly like the evil Geico squirrels who make the cars wreck for shits and giggles. I don't know what makes these Ole Miss squirrels so carefree--maybe it's Ole Miss's beautiful campus, maybe it's the no-gun policy the university holds, it may even be that we humans seem genuinely fond of the little creatures in a non-food sort of way. Whatever it is, there is something different about Ole Miss squirrels.

STEPHENIE SUED?!?!

I was on the FB group Because I read Twilight I have unrealistic expectations in Men and I happened upon a thread titled Woman claims Twilight as her story, production halted?! WTF?! According to the article posted within the thread, a woman by the name of Heidi Stanton, supposedly Meyer's college roommate, wrote a very similar story in 1993. She claims that she hadn't read Twilight or it's 3 sequels or watched the movie before now because she has 4 small children and didn't have time for such luxuries as reading or going to the movies. Now it's true that parents of small children have little time for themselves, but I don't know anyone who has small children who doesn't at least try to do something for themselves, like buy a book that their college roommate wrote (at least look at the inside cover to see what it's about). Another thing I feel is inaccurate about the article is that they say New Moon is being halted in the post-production phase. It's still filming, so it can't be in post-production. Also, the same site had stories claiming that Taylor Lautner died doing a stunt (soon after he was seen at the Kid's Choice Awards), so it's not exactly a credible site.
Twilight Lexicon reported on this rumor and considers it completely false.

Cool Fan-Made New Moon Posters

Here are my favorite Fan-Made New Moon posters. I didn't make any of these; they were all made by someone named Kim White, but ultimately, everything belongs to Stephenie Meyer and, to a lesser, extent, Summit Entertainment. Note: all the posters will link back to where they originated.

I KNEW IT!

I KNEW I WASN'T CRAZY OR DREAMING! Sorry. I'm just kind of excited. See, I read part of this book in Wal*Mart one day. On the cover it said Cathy's Book : If Found Call 650-266-8233 and had this packet of stuff inside it. It intrigued me so I read part of it and it was so good that for the first time in my life, I seriously considered stealing something (namely that book). Well, I finally got enough money to buy the book and guess what? I COULDN'T FIND IT!!!!!!!!!!!! I searched so thoroughly for this book it was unreal. My mom said I must have just been dreaming or something, but, even though I had begun to believe the same thing myself to an extent, I knew I wasn't because everything else concerning that day happened--it was really the last day of exams for the semester, I really ate at Sonic, I really picked Mom up from work.
Anyway, I belong to this survey site called ZoomPanel that gives you points for surveys and then you get to redeem them for stuff. I was trying to decide whether I wanted to wait until I got to 2,000 points to get something or go ahead and get a 1,000 point item. On page forty, I saw it--I saw the book that has eluded me for TWO YEARS! I saw Cathy's Book : If Found Call 650-266-8233 and I squealed like a twelve-year-old girl.
There's a sequel now: Cathy's Key: If Found 650-266-8202 and another Cathy's Ring that hasn't came out yet. Great--now I'm going to addicted to another book series. Oh well, at least I didn't dream Cathy's Book up. I was becoming so convinced that I dreamt the entire thing that I almost wrote the book myself...and then I would've beens sued for copyright infringement and my only arguement would be, "Well, I didn't realize that it was a REAL BOOK--I thought it was just a DREAM BOOK." Yeah, that would work.
I can't wait to read this book and post a review on Everyone's a Critic.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!

Whichever you prefer, it's none of my business. I've got all my bases covered for the Easter holiday pictures. I never understood why exactly Jesus's resurrection inspired a holiday character such as the Easter Bunny until last year when I read the origin of the holiday's timing. You can read the story here. It's not why Christians celebrate Easter, it's why we celebrate it when we do. I'm not going to push any type of religious agenda on anyone, so I'll switch gears now.

Anyway, I opened my Easter gift (yes, I'm 19 and still get an Easter gift--I'm lucky like that) this morning and was pretty pysched to find an iTunes gift card in there. I was even more pysched to actually use the gift card. I got some awesome songs and still have a little bit more that I can download. I ate a great Easter dinner with some of my family and headed back to school.
