Rowan into the Otherworld

The date is ever approaching. The plan is to separate Rowan and Cullen by forcing the veil to the Otherworld open on Imbolc. That's Feb. 1st.

I don't like this plan.

I don't like this plan for several reasons. First, it's really dangerous. I mean, supposedly Fiana was able to come back because of her powers, but Cullen is just a kid! How is he supposed to come back from the land of the dead without being harmed?

Moody seems to think between he and Rowan, it can be done safely. But I still don't like it.

Secondly, I know it's stupid, but I don't want to let Rowan go! I mean... of course there's no chance for. I'm just being stupid and selfish. Moody's right. This can't be fun for either Cullen or Rowan, having to share a body. Cullen won't talk about it. He's ever more despondent lately. I think it's taking a toll on him.

Well... I guess we'll see what happens on the first.

A Different Life

We have a new President. I couldn't celebrate this victory because my life has recently taken a very strange turn. This is the first time I've written in weeks because I've been recovering from the shock of it all.

School's out for the Thanksgiving Holidays, so I have a little time to reflect on the strange events.

Actually, I can't even bring myself to write about it. Writing about it would make it all too real. Because it can't be real. I mean, fairy tales aren't reality. Ancient wizards don't just pop out of wands and save your life from a bloodsucking vampire.

Ironic with the Twilight movie just coming out... that vampires are real!

Okay- enough for today. I'm just not ready to talk about this yet.

Halloween Fun

Tomorrow is Halloween and "my little knight's" birthday. I got him a new book of "The Hobbit." He's a sweet kid with a rough home life, and everyone should get at least one present for their birthday.

For me I'm not doing much for Halloween. Perhaps I'll put on a witch's hat, give out candy to the kids, and treat myself to a Pumpkin Pie martini.

30 Days of Night & Elizabeth

I saw both 30 Days of Night & Elizabeth: The Golden Age yesterday. I don't get to the movies as much as I'd like, so I've given in to watching mostly at home, compliments of NetFlix.

Elizabeth was incredible. I hope Blanchett gets another Oscar for that performance... right along with (be still my heart) Clive Owen.



She is so gorgeous and a perfect Elizabeth I.

On the other hand... 30 Days of Night was mediocre. I love vampires, but this film was just okay. Most of it was pretty good. They weren't the sexy, seductive vampires -- more like ruthless animals. That was all good, but they slaughtered the entire town of hundreds in a matter of hours... yet 6 people survived the next 30 days?! And the ending was really lame. The main character sacrificing himself 45 or so minutes before the first sunrise in a month (the sunrise that would kill them all) and making himself a vampire, only to burn in the arms of his soon-to-be-ex-wife at that very sunrise. Stupid.

Homecoming

I had to chaperone the dance last night, and I couldn't believe how young some of the kids were! My mother wouldn't let me out on a date until I was 16! There were 12 yr old girls there with older boys. I guess it's a different world and it's passing me by.

Brotherhood 2.0

30 Days of Night

I'm got "30 Days of Night" from NetFlix today. Looks great! I'm sure it's no Dracula, but it's still a vampire movie. I hope to watch it this weekend. It looks pretty scary. I hope so, it's been a good while since a movies given me a good scare. I think The Ring was the last one. I couldn't sleep normally for a week after that one! It put me off horror for a few years.
