I love Jacob and Bella!

I the Twilight series. Totally. And I'm hooked on Jacob Black. And well, to borrow Edward Cullen's words, Jacob Black is "my brand of heroin."

Kirsten Stewart has been cast as Bella Swan in the movie version, Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen, but no word on who plays Jacob Black yet. I'm crushing on Jacob Black of New Moon and Eclipse anyway, and the Twilight Jacob would be young-ish, but yes, I guess I'm excited to see who'll play him in the film.

Whew, that was a really long sentence.

Anyway, here's a great fan-vid I stumbled upon in livejournal. It's a Jacob/Bella fan-vid, set to James Blunt's "Goodbye My Lover."

I love Ike Barinholtz!


I Ike Barinholtz!

He is sooooooooooooooooo funny. Too bad he no longer renewed his contract with MadTV. Why? Why? Why?!

I loved it when he did skits with Bobby Lee. They worked really well together! One of my favorites was when Ike visited Bobby Lee's family, and him having to sit through the family's Star Wars play. Good fun! Other favorite moments: Ike playing an Abercrombie model. Ike playing K-Fed (LOL). And lots more others.

Looking through IMDb, it looks like he has some movies coming up. This guy needs a big break, Hollywood! He's seriously funny!

And cute. :D

I love these 13 poems!



13 Poems That Have Touched My Heart
(With excerpts. Click on the title to view the full poem)

1. "i carry your heart with me" - e.e. cummings
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)


2. "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud" - William Wordsworth
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.


3. "The Road Not Taken" - Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.


4. "Phenomenal Woman" - Maya Angelou
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.


5. "Remember" - Christina Rosetti
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.


6. "Late Starter" - Charles Bukowski
I always became the best
at things when those things
no longer counted:
football, high-speed driving,
drinking, gambling, clowning,
debating, bullshitting, going
to jail, going crazy, lifting
weights, shadow boxing with
fate.

but I was alone.


7. "Invictus" - William Ernest Henley
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.


8. "Prayer for a Journey" - Mattie Stepanek
Thank You, God,
For blessing me with the
Gift of Heartsongs,
So that I can enjoy my miracles.


9. "I Will Not Die An Unlived Life" - Dawna Markova
I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.


10. "The Summer Day" - Mary Oliver
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?


11. "Somewhere I have never travelled" - e.e. cummings
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands


12. A poem on truth - Todd Anderson's poem from the movie "Dead Poets Society"
"Truth, like, like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold."


13. "Weeping Willow" - Vada's poem from the movie "My Girl"
Weeping willow with your tears running down, why do you always weep and frown? Is it because he left you one day? Is it because he could not stay? On your branches he would swing, Do you long for the happiness that day would bring? He found shelter in your shade, he thought his laughter would never fade. Weeping willow stop your tears, for there is something to calm your fears. You think death has ripped you forever apart, but I know he'll always be in your heart.



(To better understand choice #13...)

I love berries!

I berries!

Mix these babies with cream and you've got dessert.

Mix them with yogurt and you've got breakfast or a healthy snack.

Or sprinkle them with honey or sugar to sweeten them up.

Better yet, enjoy them in their naked splendor and feast on their natural sweetness. They're healthy, full of antioxidants and delicious.

Berries are good for you!

I love Bubbly

I the song Bubbly.

I got hooked on it the first time I heard it on the radio. Since then, it's been the song that's been my LSS (Last Song Syndrome). Super love it. It's cozy, sweet and homey.

It's like a song that you whisper to your sweetheart while curled up together under a blanket, sharing a cup of cocoa with marshmallows. Or while you're both cozied up in a hammock by the beach. Super sweet song.

The artist's name is Colbie Caillat. This song of hers is called "Bubbly." Lyrics after the video.



Bubbly

Will you count me in?

Verse One:
I've been awake for a while now, you've got me
feeling like a child now, cause everytime I see
your bubbly face, I get the tingles in silly places.

Chorus:
It starts in my toes, and I crinkle my nose,
wherever it goes, I always know; that you make
me smile, please stay for awhile now, just take
your time, wherever you go.

Verse Two:
The rain is falling on my window pane, but we
are hiding in a safer place, undercovers stayen
safe and warm, you give me feelings that I
adore.

Chorus:
They start in my toes, make me crinkle my nose,
wherever it goes, I always know; that you make
me smile, please stay for awhile now, just take
your time, wherever you go.

Verse Three:
What am I gonna say? When you make me
feel this way? I just...mmmmm...

Chorus:
And it starts in my toes, makes me crinkle my
nose, wherever it goes, I always know; that
you make me smile, please stay for awhile now,
just take your time, wherever you go.

(Da Da Dun Da Da Dun Dun Da Da....)

Verse Four:
I've been asleep for awhile now, you tucked
me in just like a chile now, cause everytime
you hold me in your arms, im comfortable
enough to feel your warmth.

Chorus:
It starts in my soul, and I lose all control,
when you kiss my nose, the feeling shows,
cause you make me smile, baby just take
your time now, holding me tight.

Slowly singing:
Wherever, wherever, wherever you go.
Wherever, wherever, wherever, wherever,
you go. Ooh, wherever, you go, I always
know, cause you make me smile, even just
for awhile.
