Sometimes I get awesome presents from some of the dudettes. Like THIS fabulous package Zelda and I got from Malaysia:

Thanks Kiyokamori and F_Muse! We love presents! Especially ones we didn't expect!

Sometimes dudettes try to send me Christmas presents but forget to fill out the customs content declaration so I have to pick the package up at our local customs office. And open it there in front of a customs guy. You know just so they can see I didn’t get heroin or random other drugs all wrapped up nicely in a package. So I go there and the nice young customs guy politely asks me to open it and hands me a cutter. And I feel cool for receiving another present from even another continent. And I obliviously open it with my I am so awesome I even got friends all over the world that send me xmas presents face. And then BAM I see THIS:

Yep, I kinda had a Harry Clearwater style heart attack right in front of the customs guy. Only internally of course. On the outside I was smiling and saying “Oh yay, pretty cool shower stuff. Awesome!” The moment your secret Twi-addict-life lies there all out in the open between you and a customs guy? Awkwardness! The moment you relize you have a friend on another continent that simply “gets” you and gave you the best and most hilarious because oh so fitting Christmas present? Priceless! So yeah dear Chelle, thanks for the nice surprise! Literally! Haha. I’ll recover from the embarrassment shock again someday. I think. Maybe. In a hundred years or so. ;)

a

Just kidding. The customs guy had no idea what Twilight is. Unbelievable, right? He has been living under a rock the last five years or so, haha.

Have you been Twilight embarrassed in public lately? Have you been unlucky enough to get a better informed customs guy who immediately knew why you ordered the “Sparkle Dildo”? Oh yes that really exists. Don’t ask how I know that…seriously. Just don’t. And no, I DON’T own one. Kthxbye.

Yay! Get those party hats out again! Told you this would be a week’s worth of HTD anniversary celebration. And come on, you had to see that one coming. I mean, when have we ever celebrated anything here WITHOUT bringing bday Rob? Yeah, never. That’s when.

Real posts coming up this week as well! But because I always get sentimental and talk about how much all those people I met online because of the blog mean to me, I decided to post a special list today. Check it out!

a

Stuff the dudettes and other frequent blog readers but no one in my real life knows about me

1. That I run a Twilight-Blog. Or any blog at all.

2. That I have a fake name. Or a whole fake internet life.

3. That if they would look into my “important work documents” folder they would find stuff WAY more interesting than boring work documents.

4. That I (or rather Blufish27) nicknamed the guy I’m currently going out with fireboy. (Honestly, that was just BRILLIANT! And he has no idea about it. One day ten years from now I’ll tell him and we’ll laugh our asses off. Ha!)

5. That this blog is what so much of my online time went into and NOT in having cybersex with creepy 50 year old business men. (Yep, there was one time when my dad hinted he suspected me of actually doing that. I kid you not.)

6. That I’m some kind of Twilight addict. (Yep, I always try to hide that fact. Don’t judge me. I’m scared everyone might think I’m one of those crazy fangirls…)

7. That Zelda is my internet wife. Ha! Best fake lesbian internet couple ever, right? ;-)

a

This list could go on and on forever but I thought since 7 is a magical number I’d just stop there. Either that or I had to hurry up and get ready for a date with fireboy.

a

Off to party with bday Rob! Isn’t he insanely sexy with those glasses? ;-)

I know I should’ve put up a thank you post AGES ago. Like right the day after my birthday. But I didn’t. I got a pretty good reason for that though. No, it as absolutely nothing to do with me being to lazy or to busy. I just liked the fact that everytime someone would visit the blog (including myself) the topmost post popping up would be my wonderful birthday special. Yes, that’s kinda vain and stuff but I don’t care. I just love my bday post, okay? And by love I mean LOVE!

I am in love with this folder. Seriously.

Yep, bold, all capitals AND underlined, that’s right. That is how much I love it. And as if that hadn’t been enough Zelda showed up at my place and had another wonderful present for me. A folder entitled “important work documents”. Remember how we always used to joke around about keeping our fanfic in an important documents folder? This one was even better because in there were tons of our old posts all printed out plus dozens of awesome manips featuring me, blog stats, a screenshot of that one time LTT tweeted about me… In short, every important moment in our blog history, all our hard work put together in one folder of awesomeness.

Birthday Rob? Check. LTT tweet? Check. #2 fastest growing WordPress blog? Check. WE ARE AWESOME!

So once again a HUGE thank you to everyone who in some way contributed sth for that fantabulous birthday surprise, especially to Zelda but to all of the dudettes as well for all the manips, pics and sweet notes you sent. Meeting all of you was probably the best thing that has ever happened to me on the internet. Yep, you even beat my chats with fireboy. Not by far but still, I give you girls the #1 spot. ;-)

a

In return for that birthday of amazingness and my 3 week hiatus I promise to get back to a more regular blogging schedule starting this week. Let’s begin with two posts a week, k? Sounds good? Then just you wait till you see what I got planned to kick this post fest off! ;)

Off to read some important work documents

Sorry girls, that's not him. But almost...

A new post just two days after the last one? Yeah, crazy. I know. ;) And no, it is not a coincidence that I decided to call this new mini-series “diaries” two days after season 2 of the Vampire Diaries started. Honestly, can Stefan get any hotter? He looks SMOKIN! Oh, I’m drifting off topic, huh? Sorry. So as most of you (aka everyone reading my tweets) should already know there’s that firefighter guy I’m currently seeing, lovingly named fireboy by @Blufish27. And since the day I first met him strange things have happened, some of which somehow include Twilight. Yeah, seems I just can’t get away from it. Not even if my real life. Who knew? And because I’m awesome like that I decided to share those little real life stories featuring Zelda and the Soul sister with all of you. Now go and have a laugh at the crazy mess that is my real life!

a

First night out with fireboy

Soul: Btw, where are you from?

Fireboy: Spokane, Washington. You know Washington? Seattle?

*Zelda’s and my heart rate increase, we switch to silent telepathy conversation mode immediately (because that’s one of our superpowers clearly)*

Soul: OMG!

Zelda: Shut up! No way! The Twilight state?

Soul: There’s NO WAY we can ever let him know how we got to know Washington state so well!

Zelda: Yeah, don’t mention Twilight or this will be the first and last time you guys hung out!

*We switch back to normal conversation to answer fireboy question*

Soul: Oh yeah, Washington. Of course.

*facepalm* Honestly, what are the chances? I meet a guy and then he tells me he’s from WASHINGTON? Stuff like that just doesn’t happen in real life! Ever!

a

Hm, that's not him either... Sorry.

Night out with fireboy, his friends and my sister; bar with awesome live music and some TVs playing on mute at the walls. The Eclipse TV trailer comes on.

Soul Sister (padding my arm excitedly): *gasp* Look! Look!

All the guys turn around and look at the TV. I give her the oh-no-you-didn’t-could-you-have-fucked-up-any-more stare. She turns to fireboy and his friends.

Soul Sister: Sorry guys, I’m just really into Twilight. That wolf-guy is aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa HOT! I love that trailer.

Worst sister ever for almost giving me away and outing me as a Twinerd in front of fireboy? Yes. Best sister ever for taking it all on her and throwing the guys off by pretending she’s just ogling Taylor’s abs? YES!

a

Off to plan the next nights out with fireboy so I can share even more Two-stories afterwards

Hey everyone! Yep, I’m still alive. Sorry for being so MIA though. I know I haven’t blogged in a while and I probably owe tons of you e-mails back. I’ll try to hurry up and get to them as soon as I can. Perhaps tonight. Instead of sleeping. Who needs sleep anyway, right? ;-) The last five weeks of my live have been crazy! This is not a personal blog so you probably don’t care at all but in my defense let me just say that: Those last five weeks involved a really hot firefighter guy, Paris, eclairs, a pool table in someone’s living room, Mama Soul, a certain hot guy (I definitely shouldn’t have written that down right after Mama Soul… weird!), me getting a Prada skirt as a present (no joke, I REALLY am the owner of an original piece of Prada clothing now! :-) ), a certain hot guy (naked!), me being super self-confident, Papa Soul totally unexpected turning into a stalker, me getting an Armani top as a present (Yay! Thanks so much Lady M even though you’ll never ever read this! You made me feel like I’m in the middle of a Sex and the city episode!), aforementioned Lady M, a certain hot guy, me getting self-conscious, me talking three different languages in less than 5 minutes, me needing a dudette chat cause I was close to freaking out, Zelda, a village party, me getting drunk alone, trying to be patient but miserably failing, me gaining my self-confidence back and being ridiculously happy about it and… a certain hot guy (had I mentioned that before?) That’s the short version. If you followed my tweets you already knew half of those things. If you want the longer story (which probably has the length of an average novel by now) feel free to e-mail me and we can chat about it. If you don’t care about that at all then I just want to apologize for not blogging. Alright, funny Monday stuff now?

Actually, this is not the usual funny Monday stuff post. It’s more about something some people think we SHOULD find funny. You probably heard about it. It’s that new movie called Vampires suck where they mock Twilight or whatever. So how do we feel about that? Funny? Not funny? Embarrassed? Pissed? I plan on writing a whole post about it this week but I wanna hear YOUR opinions first! Just leave a comment or e-mail me!

a

Off to start writing all those e-mails for you girls

First of all: Sorry for my absence lately. I was on vacation and Zelda was stuck in the middle of exam-hell so she couldn’t take over for me. The actual plan was to write a post about how much I’m gonna miss you all why I lay there on the beach and enjoy my cocktails. But I started packing a bit late and there was so much to do that I simply forgot about it. When I arrived at our hotel and realized “Damn, I didn’t put a post up” it was already too late. So, sorry for leaving you guys all alone here. It’s true though, I DID miss you while I was laying there enjoying the sun and the water and cocktails. At least at times when I wasn’t distracted by random sexy guys, haha.

Now to the real stuff! (Who else thinks it’s weird that I just ended a paragraph about my real life with “now to the real stuff”? Obviously this blog seems more real… or I’m just crazy.) You may have noticed that I’ve put off my Eclipse review. Partly because I have to watch it again and partly because I wanna make sure once I publish that review there will be EVERYTHING in it. Not like with New Moon where one week later I got mad at myself for not including several things because I overlooked them on my first watch. Chelle was so kind as to send me some of her thoughts which I am endlessly gratefull for cause there were quite a couple of things I sure as hell would’ve forgotten about even though they’re way too good to NOT talk about. Now here’s the deal: I want you (yes, EVERYONE!) to tell me your personal highs and lows plus random things you noticed while watching Eclipse. Honestly, write down EVERYTHING! As soon as I got your lists I will watch Eclipse one last time paying extra attention to all the stuff you mentioned and then you will FINALLY get my review! If we hurry up I might get it all done before the Eclipse two month premiere anniversary! ;-)

a

Off to wait for your lists to hit my inbox

Soul

So, what should I definitely NOT miss while watching Eclipse again? Leave your thoughts via comment or e-mail! Thanks to Chelle for already sharing your thoughts with me! That meadow wig thing KILLS me, haha!

Yeah, that would be me. I know I have really neglected the blog during the last few days and even if you do not count all these things as excuses I still tell you the reasons why!

  • semi-annual exam hell at college (Honestly, it IS hell! 9 to 11 hours a day doing nothing but college stuff is NOT fun!)
  • work
  • gymnastics practice
  • more exams
  • having to fill in for Mama and Papa Soul who were on vacation
  • major sleep deprivation (3 hours on monday, 5 on tuesday, 3 yesterday. That should make me count as a vampire, no?)
  • a certain firefighter guy who will hopefully never ever read this

Some of you might say now “You could’ve blogged instead of going out with that guy until 4 am when you have to leave at 7:30 the next morning”. But hey, I’m getting older (notice older, not old… yet) and I don’t play on staying single forever. Plus he’s really cute. And hot. Plus I know my beloved dudettes and basically everyone of our readers here would never say stuff like that. Cause you all are way to cool and sweet to give me shit about FINALLY getting over all the bad experiences and going out with someone again. I wish you could all meet him to see how awesome he is but unfortunately I think it would be hard to come up with an excuse as to why tons of random girls suddenly want to stalk him on Facebook and give him a hug, haha. Now here’s the plan: I’ll be done with all the college stuff tomorrow night and then be back to old blogging awesomeness by Saturday. I got posts planned about several Eclipse top ten lists, the Bree book (thanks cdubs aka blufish27 for answering all my questions!), why I don’t like Breaking Dawn and tons of other stuff. So thanks for being patient while I was MIA due to sleep deprivation, college exams and (yes, I won’t deny it) a certain guy.

Hold on one more day! I missed you all!

PS: Guess what! He’s from Washington state. Aka Twilight country. Funny how things sometimes happen…

Alright, I kinda interviewed my own sister trying to secretly take notes to get her Eclipse review. Yes, I interview my own sister. I’m wierd like that. So while I try to decipher said notes secretly taken under the table while talking to her, here have some slightly easier to read text messages from Zelda and me.

Soul: Alright, I’m wearing the Bella-bracelet and the blue top. I hope you brought your hyperventilation paperbag and your twidea book!

Zelda: Are you insane? That would totally give me away! ;-)

Soul: OMG! This ROCKS! We got awesome seats and they got the most amazing things here! I’m gonna ask them if they got a job for me even if I’m just the attendant! ;-)

So basically what I’m trying to say here is I can’t do a proper Twilight post. Because I ran away with the Cirque du Soleil people. Hey, you’ll get over it! There’s a reason why we don’t have “Twilight” in our blog name. Technically on “how to dazzle” I’m allowed to write about random stuff that dazzles me, right? Sorry, but this time it’s just NOT Edward. Don’t worry about me though, I’ll get over it. Maybe. Some day. In the not so near future. Meanwhile have fun here while I am in love with THEM:

Honestly, the only way you can NOT fall in love with this is if you are uber lame, don’t care about artistic stuff at all or never ever tried to even do the slightest acrobatic stuff yourself so you can’t understand this perfection. No offence intended but if you don’t like it… we can never be friends. Unless you send me mails telling me how fantastic I am. Or random nice presents. Or write a 1000 words long essay about why you don’t like it that actually convinces me. No, just joking. Don’t try that essay thing cause it will be a waste of time for both of us, you writing and me reading it. NOTHING in the whole wide world has the power to break my Cirque du Soleil love. I will accept presents though! ;-) )

a

Off with the circus people (I ALWAYS wanted to become an acrobat)

Soul

a

I was just kidding about the friend thing. Seriously! Not about my new Cirque du Soleil obsession though. Have you ever seen them? BEST THING EVER! If you wish I would just stop talking and post about Eclipse… Sorry, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow! I’m still too dazzled. ;-)

Sorry. I feel like I apologize quite a lot here lately but whatever. Sometimes I have crappy days where I am exhausted from work and college stuff and getting into three rows with Papa Soul because of unimportant work issues and then there’s the dog and more college stuff, having to help out my sister, scheduling 5 different appointments on the phone, getting 3 calls from work and oh yeah, have I already mentioned the college stuff? What I’m trying to say is… sometime I just can’t manage to be the person I want to be. When I think of Soul she’s that perfect happy girl with a perfect and fun life. But to be frankly honest, most days that is NOT what my real life is like. At all. Some days I just can’t find the time to sit down, be that other much cooler version of myself and typing out a hilarious post for you all to read. That doesn’t mean I don’t care about you or the blog. It’s just that sometimes… real life happens. And I have to be there. So please don’t be mad (or even worse: disappointed). I got four full weeks of no college and only little work ahead in August and I promise to make up for it and spread a flood of awesomeness here! For now though I’m sorry and I fear you have to be patient. But you know what’s the best thing about this blog? That I know when I feel really down I can always count on someone to come up with something nice to cheer me up again. Like this:

I hope this makes all of you just as happy as it did me! If not then… then why don’t YOU write something for me and I’ll put it up here? Deal? Awesome!

Back to full power as soon as I can find my Soul superhero suit

PS: @cdubs I know you already volunteered to write stuff! Sorry I haven’t replied yet! :-( I promise to do that on Friday when I got the day off! ;-)

Sorry for being late again with the post today but I just had to save twenty new Eclipse stills. No joke! We’ll chat them up tomorrow! Meanwhile here comes the rest of the Movie Awards recap.

So basically New Moon won every single award they were nominated for. Rob for Best Actor and Global Superstar, Kristen for Best Actress, then Best Kiss and Best Movie. Five golden popcorns, what a surprise. Not. Cause that was totally expected. You know MTV is a fanwhore like that… Now, videos!

UPDATE: I will have to wait to give you the rest of the MTV recap due to MTV being such pricks and having all the good videos removed from YouTube, only offering their official one which I can’t embed here. The only ones that are still up have super crappy quality. Like filmed with cell phones while watching simultaneously with half the screen cut off… Sorry!Instead I’m gonna give you a post I had actually planned for later that week but it’s the only one I’ve finished so… Just read it!

Soul shines the HTD help sign in the sky

a

In case you’ve been wondering what the HTD help sign is, it’s like the bat sign Batman always uses. Just way cooler and more elegant! Now read the post.

Remember when I said that this is my blog? And that I make all the rules here? Well… that als means that if I did NOT make certain rules, then they don’t exist here! For example I never made a rule saying everything we post here has to be written by either Zelda or myself. Do you have any idea what I’m trying to say here? No? Hm, let’s put it another way. Imagine the following! After spending seven hours at college you come home, half an hour head to work, then get home again at half past nine pm to have a quick dinner and then get university stuff done for the next day. Suddenly you realize there are only five hours left for you to sleep when it hits you: OMG, I HAVE NOTHING TO POST TOMORROW! I forgot to write a post, oh NO! So you do that as fast as possible before you go to bed to enjoy your remaining four hours of treasured sleep. That’s my life now most days.

THIS is how I feel sometimes! (Click for maximum lols)

Except at the weekends when I love to be lazy and recover from an exhausting week. Some days I just wanna call Zelda and fall to my knees and beg her to do a post for the following day. But then I realize it’s almost two in the morning… It usually takes me two hours to do a complete post of awesomeness. You know, with all those super rad pics with hilarious captions, adding the tags and stuff. After seven months I’ve become good (read: fast) enough to get a remotely funny post done in an hour. (You know what I mean, the ones with lots of videos in it…) Don’t get me wrong! I LOVE this blog! I love to write posts and make them all look nice! Otherwise I would never have lasted that long! It’s just that some days I don’t have enough time to do it all. Well, I could cancel sleep completely but I read somewhere that that is NOT healthy. At all. Unless you’re a vampire I guess… I already talked about this whole dilemma with Kiyokamori and she said technically I didn’t HAVE to blog everyday. But I know myself. (Sometimes at least…) And I know that if I would switch to blogging every second day it would all go down and in the end it would all end up in me not blogging at all in three weeks straight. So don’t freak out, there WILL be a post every day! Promise! But this is the part where YOU come in! Yes, with YOU I meant every single person who ever reads this! Dudettes, commenters, readers, people who just come here because they googled “Tom Sturridge naked”, whoever you are, if you read this be assured I meant YOU! We get lots of comments and e-mails from readers (plus I’m sure tons of you are still hiding out there ;-) ) and they never fail to cheer me up and make me laugh and remind me of why I started this whole blogging thing in the first place. No, NOT to make money.

Yes, I got TONS of these motivational posters! Awesome, I know!

So far I haven’t earned so much as a single penny with all this. (But JUST YOU WAIT till we launch our super awesome HTD craft store with handmade Taylor dreamcatchers and Edward bras!) I started this because when I read the Twilight books there was so much I wanted and needed to talk about! All the funny and sexy and crazy things. And then I discovered that whole Twiworld out there. And I know it was just like that for you as well. Otherwise why would you end up googling “Tom Sturridge naked”? So here is my super awesome masterplan: I never said all the posts had to be written by Zelda and me! So why don’t YOU write something and send it over? It doesn’t even have to be a super long post. It could be anything! Something photoshopped, a haiku, a round-up of how often Rob misbuttoned his shirts in the last three weeks, random thoughts you have about Twilight like WTF does Edward do when Bella has her period. Whatever comes to your mind really! Just write it down! And then send it over! And I promise I’ll make it all look nice and pimp it up with some of the pics I have in my private collection (I own 348 pics of Drunkrob just to give you an overview ;-) ) You know, the usual stuff I do to make my own rather average posts seem oh so much cooler. I might post your submission on its own or together with letters from other readers if they somehow match, I haven’t quite decided yet. But I know a lot of you girls (and boys maybe) out there have potential! I just can tell it! So don’t be shy! Send me a mail and I promise to reply! Just give me something to work with on days when I myself don’t have the time to come up with something good. Please! I beg you! Literally! I’m even considering bribing you with awesome fake prizes right now… Deal? Awesome! I know I can always count on our most fantabulous readers! That’s why I love you all so much! ;-)

a

Off to impatiently await your first mails to roll in

Soul

a

This is not a joke! I know you got tons of stuff you wanna talk about! So come on, don’t be shy! Write it down and send it in! and then we can chat it all up and I won’t feel so lonely anymore sitting here all alone with my laptop. Plus I will have stuff to post when I suffer from writers block. This will RULE! So start NOW! Send me mails! And I’ll send back love and hugs and stuff… ;-)
