Pretty and witty and GAY SO GAY OMG

[cleolinda]

Allegedly there is someone downstairs fixing the fridge (the wrong part came in last time), which sounds promising. But meanwhile! Famous people are out there being GAY and it is SO OUR BUSINESS, the media will have you know:

Clay Aiken: 'Yes, I'm Gay.' World: 'Yes, We Knew'; Clay Aiken is gay? Really? NO KIDDING (EPIC ONTD POST IS EPIC). And somewhere, the collective Claymate breakdown is in progress, I'm sure.

Lindsay Lohan FINALLY Confirms Relationship With Samantha Ronson. "Finally" kind of bugs me here--you know, because she so totally owes us an explanation of her life and needs to get right on that. But, you know. Apparently it's a good day to be gay, so good on them.

How...mind boggling? Disrespectful? Obsessive? Childish? Immature?

Do we have any more adjectives for this?

Good lord.

Whenever I hear about the Twihards, I feel so much better about stuttering and asking stupid questions when I met one of my favourite actors.

Good lord is right.

Please, for the love of all that is good and pure in the world, can we all just agree to stop paying attention to David Blaine and his bullshit?

no kidding. Even other magicians make fun of him.

And that's sayin' something.

Man, if I lived in Forks, I'd milk that FOR ALL ITS WORTH. I'd sell my broken keychains, old t-shirts, strands of hair... for ridiculously high prices!

And, aww, Clay.:')

Cookie Monster Slayer

[mcamason.livejournal.com]

I rode on an elevator with her at Dragon*Con, where someone asked her what muppet she was intending on going after next. Her response was "any other muppet that turns his back on his beliefs. 'Cookies are a "sometimes" food,' my ass!"

She was quite overjoyed when I told her about Colbert calling the Cookie Monster out on his betrayal of his beliefs, viz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rG0P_FONlg

Re: Cookie Monster Slayer

"any other muppet that turns his back on his beliefs. 'Cookies are a "sometimes" food,' my ass!"

That is AWESOME.

[venusad.livejournal.com]

Damn, I wish I lived in Forks. I'd rake in so much money.

Clay....oh honey, I forgot he WASN'T out yet.
And wasn't Lindsey blogging with her significant other about their troubles? How is it new for her to confirm details now?

I can't believe Kellan Lutz actually lets the TwiMoms know where he sleeps. I'd be terrified.

Re: Lohan

I keep thinking that they confirmed their relationship a while ago. I mean, yes, places like People already knew since it pretty much started, and people-who-are-not-the-magazine-of-the-same-name generally didn't care then, either. Aside from mentioning that entering a lesbian relationship (or at the very least, that one) was probably the best thing for her, since Ronson's been keeping her on the (so to speak) straight and narrow.

[madcathatter.livejournal.com]

Aww, so several people still thought Gayken was straight?
That's cute but horrifying.

[madcathatter.livejournal.com]

I'd like to add to this- at least he came out for a good reason like teaching his son that it's not good to lie. It wasn't the usual, "Hey! Guys, I'm gay. And I'm totally NOT only telling you because I got caught fucking a dude and the pictures will be released to tabloids tomorrow."

the second half of this comment is LEGEN -- wait for it -- DARY

[starlady42.livejournal.com]

AWESOME -- I have been waiting all day for this post because I knew you'd linkspam this: "'Twilight' fans flock to town for vampire magic"

because then I could post the contents of the email I sent my sister this afternoon when I read the article on CNN........

"Other locations, such as the police station, where Bella's father works, and the hospital, where Edward's father is a doctor, play their own parts. They chipped in, providing cruisers near which fans may take pictures and reserving a spot for "Dr. Cullen" in the parking
lot."

I just can't stop laughing at these articles. Someday, I think, someday Twilight fandom will stop being hysterical. But it hasn't happened yet!

And then I read more of the article, and I got to a bit about "Sully's Drive-In," and I had the terrible, awful, wonderful realization...

I HAVE BEEN TO FORKS, WASHINGTON. I DROVE THROUGH IT WHEN I WAS IN WASHINGTON 3 YEARS AGO.* And I ATE AT SULLY'S. I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF. () (I took the photo because I have a friend named Sully and thought it was amusing. Then I went inside and got a burger. It did not involve pineapple or whatever.)

THIS IS POSSIBLY THE GREATEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THE HISTORY OF EVER

(I didn't go out to the beaches at La Push, because I was on my way from one part of Olympic NP to another. But I did camp on the beach at Kalaloch, which is just down the coast.)

AHAHAHAHA SUCK IT TWILIGHTERS, I ATE AT SULLY'S BEFORE IT WAS COOL**

(not to mention eating there before the book was even published, which, as I found out while making sure of that claim, was on my birthday.)

*note: I am from Alabama and was/am living in Pennsylvania, so it wasn't like this was down the damn road or anything
**note the second: I haven't actually read the books, just your recaps -- else I would have obviously discovered this a lot sooner

Re: the second half of this comment is LEGEN -- wait for it -- DARY

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

*note: I am from Alabama

Heyyyy, you too? I'm still here, actually.

I haven't actually read the books, just your recaps

Since you haven't, I would like to clarify here that even I don't know what the hell pineapple on the burgers has to do with anything.

reserving a spot for "Dr. Cullen" in the parking
lot.

That really did make me laugh, because it sounded like the dumbass kind of thing I'd want to do in a similar situation, except I'd only want to do it if I thought no one else would get it. Like, "it's just our personal joke here at the hospital."

If it was some dumbass thing people actually flocked to come see, I would still do it. I would just start charging money at that point.

Clay Aiken: 'Yes, I'm Gay.' World: 'Yes, We Knew'

We're just glad you finally admitted it, honey. All the denial was getting annoying.

[discogravy.livejournal.com]

if you really think that cookie monster slayer is awesome, you really owe it to yourself to subscribe to/"friend" jwz and fantasygoat. aside: jwz wrote netscape for unix and helped usher it into becoming mozilla. and if you can just look at the first page of fantasygoat without laughing, you're beyond help.

[discogravy.livejournal.com]

oh, and from jwz's personal site archives, this is probably of interest to you as a writer: http://www.jwz.org/gruntle/wrists.html

[jharrison19.livejournal.com]

me want blue furry cookie monster boots! UNEXPECTED EMMET IS UNEXPECTED in that he is the only cast member insane enough to NOT be terrified of twimoms. Rpattz is starting to look wiser everyday. Honestly though, I'm not a batshit insane "twihard" but I'm nerd enough to admit I have an unexplicably urge to visit forks and geek out. Maybe steal a pebble.

[madelrocio7.livejournal.com]

LMAO! I just saw the Clay Aiken thing on CNN and basically rushed over here.

Did anyone still think he was not? The part about him and a friend having a baby pretty much confirmed it to me.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Did anyone still think he was not?

His fans, apparently...

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

I've thought a few times about driving over to Forks just for teh lols (I'm near Seattle, so it's not that far), but these days, I'd... almost be a little afraid. ;)

I guess I'll just have to content myself with going over to Union Lake Lake Union (DAMN YOU, STEPHENIE, READ A MAP, AND LEARN TO SPELL YOUR OWN NAME WHILE YOU'RE AT IT SO SAFARI DOESN'T UNDERLINE IT) and reenact the cocktail-dress-and-fake-ID scene. Or, um, something.


eta: You know what: I didn't catch whether you'd linked to this before or not, but this Twilight "Read" poster (http://www.alastore.ala.org/SiteSolution.taf?_sn=catalog&_pn=product_detail&_op=2616) is actually kinda cute. ;)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee, yeah. I might have linked to it, I can't remember--the day I found it, the ALA site was constantly going down. Oh, and trollprincess has an icon of the poster that says, in very tiny font under "READ," Anything but this.

'Twilight' fans flock to town for vampire magic

AHHHHH, GET OUT OF MY STATE, YOU CRAZY TWILIGHTERS! I am sooooo glad I'm on the east side right now.

Also: Who is that Samantha chick kidding, saying she loves Forks and can't wait to go back? Was she really there? Or is she on some sort of crack? Because, I'm sorry, Forks is creepy, in the No-One's-Around-To-Hear-You-Scream sort of way, and I can't imagine any sane person actually wanting to go back there.

"This town just has a pretty primal way about it," she said. "It's really a mysterious beauty."

*dies* I sincerely hope that they toured the rest of the west side and don't think the whole thing is long, winding roads surrounded by nothingness. Yes, it's beautiful; yes, I love living there; no, I would not describe it as "primal".

(Though, I feel the need to admit here that the only reason I started reading the books was because they take place in Washington, which is a fairly uncommon occurrence, let me tell ya.)

[gwynnywonk.livejournal.com]

AHHHHH, GET OUT OF MY STATE, YOU CRAZY TWILIGHTERS! I am sooooo glad I'm on the east side right now.

SECONDED. Spokane is looking pretty good right now. Although as a former resident of Puyallup and therefore an all-over Washingtonian I WOULD NOT go near these books with a beartrap, be they written about the place or not.

[jharrison19.livejournal.com]

*RANDOM SIDE NOTE* sorry to spam up your blog like this, but i found this TOO ironic not to tell someone. i think rpattz's partying is no secret, and i couldnt resist making inferences about the look on his face and his tshirt. its totally out of context, and hes probably just tired, but still...

Sweet baby Moses, does Kellan WANT to end up trussed in some 40 year old crazy woman's basement with her cats, being made to recite lines from New Moon and watch her reenact scenes from all the books with her special Barbie dolls that she's handmade clothing for?

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT, KELLAN LUTZ?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, it depends. Does he get free candy?

[saramiskismet.livejournal.com]

So like... I'm really proud of the fact that I want to go to La Push and hang out with some Quileutes and ask if SMeyer was anywhere near the ballpark with her mythology, if they ever go cliff diving, other things...

...And also if any of them could fix my car.

I may not be raving, but I AM still a fangirl. *helpless flailing*
