Check it out!

So I've been doing some Twilight-obsessing. Here's what I found:
twilightsource.com
News and info about the series (though i do have to say, this site is showing up a bit late considering the series is about to end).
Also, the people who made the website have a podcast (again it's showing up late). It's called Imprint. I subscribed to it on Itunes (though it takes a while to load). They obsess more than we do! ;-)
Just thought I'd mention that in case you wanted to listen to other nerds talking about Twilight...

hi!! I just wanted to let you know that - against all expectations -I'm still alive. Thanks so much for being with me Sunday night, itreally meant a lot to me. I've carried the jeans and the bag to everyplace I went so far. The first stop was Lancaster county. We ended upon a very typical non-Amish farm bed&breakfast. The people werefreakishly nice, the food awesome (and plenty), the view beautiful,and THEY HAD A NEWBORN KITTEN!!!! Plus a cute puppy. On the secondnight, I was watching the sunset on a field, the kitten came to playwith me and then curled up in my lap to sleep. For a very long time. Avery VERY long time. So I didn't get to bed until midnight. But it wasextremely adorable. It is very fascinating to see how the Amishpeople live harmonically alongside 21st century American society. Theyliterally work together with their non-Amish neighbors: our maid andwaitress were both Amish and many amish hire outsiders for "sinful"works like driving a truck. They are really friendly and open andthey all seem like very happy people, compared with their"mainstream-Christian" neighbors. Some offer to have visitors come fordinner,and we tried to do that - it turned out they only do it onThursdays and Fridays- so that way we got to talk to a couple. ISpoke german with an Amish girl! It was slightly weird, sincw theyspeak a southern sialwct that has been handed down for centuries, butwe were able to understand each other. Amish teenagers are allowed alot more freedoms than adults, like driving cars and stuff so thatthey can decide whether or not they want to get baptized and join theAmish community. Every 10th teenager leaves and that seems to beperfectly ok with everybody, which I think is one of the coolestthings about the Amish. So I kept looking for an Amish guy drivingaround in his, but I couldn't find one. Yesterday we went toHartford ( gilmore girls!! ) and visited the mark twain house, whichwas really fun . Then we went to concord, Massachusetts, where we areright now. It's so pretty! And so many amazing people lived here! Iwent to the northe bridge today, where the first shot of therevolution was fired, the one that was " heard around the world", andbefriended some military girl. Right next to that, and I mean RIGHTnext to that is the emerson house where nathaniel Hawthorne & co liveda while. The only other family in our tour group was german ( andincluded two teenage boys. Leave it to me to find the probably onlyguys of my age and nationality in the whole state). The tour wasabsolutely amazing and I ended up discussing with the tour guideHawthorne's hotness and thoreau's adorable-ness ( how can you not lovea man whose last words were "moose" and "Indian"?). Tomorrow we aregonna go to the "sleepy hollow cemetery" which I wanted tovisit evenbefore I knew that half of America's famous writers are buried there,just cause I'm obsessed with cemeteries. And Washington irving. Andjohnny depp. Plus Im really excited to see walden pond tomorrow!!!So yea, thats pretty much what I've done so far. Toldya i wouldspam you. I have ( sporadic) access to internet, by the way - incase u haven't noticed. Lots of love from Concord, sophie

Grr!

Ok, firstly, that contest would be awesome but (and i have to be a pessimist here) none of us are going to win it and if one of us did, it would suck big time anyway because they would have to chose someone to take with them. Personally, if two of my best friends went to this thing without me, i would hate them with a passion for the rest of my life. And I'm the one who likes Blue October. Just throwing my opinion out there about that.

Secondly, it REALLY sucks that no one can hang out with me. I have one week left before work starts. Then I'll be seeing you guys even less. It's depressing.

Thirdly, is anyone going to the next DIV concert??? I mean, cuz Beth and Madison aren't. I really want to go but if no one else is...


Sorry if I sound mean. I'm just not so happy at the moment.

o...m...g...

I'm actually surprised I was the first to pick up on this...geez, how bored have i been?

http://www.thetwilightsaga.com/contest/

i suggest we all enter...ur allowed 2 send one entry per day, i think (yes, i did actually read all the rules.)

for those of u too lazy to go to the link...the twilight concert series sold out. buuut....they're gonna randomly pick 2 sweepstakes winners to go to the new york show, airfare, hotel and transport paid, and theyre gonna be able to MEET stephenie meyer backstage...wow...each winner gets 3 tickets, one for her, one for her parent, one for a guest. (im saying her for, well, obvious reasons.)

i wanna go...and if any of u win, do i get the third ticket since i pointed it out to u? pretty please????? with a cherry on top?? hehe...

anyway, about hanging out...im busy most of the weekend, i think, ill probably have 2 work mornings, at least thats what i asked for since i have a party to go to saturday night and a coffee house thing sunday night. which is open to the public, should any of u want to come. its at the lighthouse church, the one with joe's other youth group...adele got me to help out there, bring food and help set up and stuff...and u know ive been living around my work schedule lately, which i still dont have cuz charlies a bit late getting back to me, i may have to call him even tho i htink he gets annoyed when i do...w/e. 4th of july weekend may be a problem for me too, for the same reasons, and im still looking to go to the army of freshmen concert with someone but unfortunately its the same night as the DIV concert. :-(. idk...

Yeah

I like the plan about hanging out, but I'm working this weekend. Also stating that I'm sorry Kaiti I can't take off work for your birthday party, which is on Sunday right, because it is 4th of July weekend which is on of the busiest. Sorry. Also so you guys know I'm not going to AD on the 5th because of work , which is killing me. Also I will be away on Monday. JOE COMES HOME ON TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So that means to expect me to be over there most of next week. Sorry guys but come on now, serious withdrawl from Joe for over 3 weeks.

I love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay...

So obviously today didn't work out for one reason or another. But we should hang out tomorrow or over the weekend or something. Let me know please guys. I'm bored!
