It's Been Months... I KNOW!

Hello to the 3 or 4 people that still maybe might be checking out this blog. Life gets in the way to say the least. I've been obsessively following the happenings of the filming of New Moon. I can't wait. I think I can safely say that my husband is pretty excited too. He frequently asks me what's new and he likes to know about the cast.

But first...

If you check the date and the post of my cast list (which is not perfect, I'll admit) but I totally called it and got it right when I chose Dakota Fanning as Jane and the kid they cast for Alec (sorry I can't come up with it off the top of my head). I chose him in my mind because he always plays creepy characters and I thought he would be perfect. Either someone of importance saw my casting suggestions or I'm just that good. I like to believe that both are true even if they're not. ha ha

As for SaveMidnightSun.com...

I will admit that I have done nothing to the site and I got so overwhelmed with the constant flow of email, that I had to just not check it anymore... at least for a while. Sorry to everyone who is still waiting for a reply. I have over 2000 emails sitting in my inbox... yeah. I know. what do you do with that. And my husband continues to check stats and we are still getting 2000+ hits a day. Man, the dedication of the fans, right? It's pretty rad if I may say so myself. I will have to admit though, I've checked some of the posts on the forum and some people get pretty heated. So, if you're one of those, simma down now. Anyways, just wanted to check in and say hi. Hi. Now I must go fetch my 2 year old from pre-school right after I wake my 1 year old up. Laters guys and gals.

Funny and Impressive Twilight Spoof

I thought this video was pretty funny- these girls are sisters - the one that plays Bella and Alice. They apparently do other spoofs... - They are pretty darn good!

personal note: where do you suppose they had time to do this?? Schoolwork? Jobs? Chores? Wow. I checked out the website and if you're wondering who funds this stuff- they get sponsors and stuff. What a hobby.

Oh and I know the music is playing... go to the playlist at the bottom of the page and just stop the music so you can hear. Sorry, I'm lazy and did not feel like changing anything else.

I know the video is like 9 mins, but watch all of it.

BEGINNING STAGES OF MY OWN CASTING LIST

These are just beginning thoughts on the characters. It's obvious that I don't have them all. No, I didn't include the pack cause I'm still thinking... Here we go- any better suggestions, let me know!!! Seriously. So go check out pictures at imdb to see what they look like. I would have posted those as well, but who has the time to do all that?!

Tanya- Evan Rachel Wood

Kate- Isla Fisher

Irina- Miranda Otto

Zafrina- Kristen Johnston (toss up between her and the original amazon Lucy Lawless of Xena, ha ha)

Eleazer- Tim Roth

Carmen- Jeanne Tripplehorn

Garrett- Ryan Gosling (from the bearded Notebook days)

Aro- Bill Nighy

Caius- Al Pacino

Marcus- John Noble

Jane- Dakota Fanning

Alec- Cameron Bright

Demetri- Kevin McKidd (had to have my grey's represented)

Felix- Ben Foster

Riley in Eclipse- Michael Pitt

Tell me what you think and give me some suggestions. My choices aren't set in stone....

Dakota Fanning Casted in New Moon

So I was watching E!News last night and heard that they were casting Dakota Fanning in New Moon... They said that she would be a vampire along side Edward... I'm guessing that she is going to be the infamous "Jane" of the Volturi. I'm very excited over this because that kid is a darn good actress. And no lie, I promise, I like cast the characters of the books in my mind and she was who I orignally picked to play Jane.

I might actually put my very own casting list up- just give me time. I've slowly been working on it in my mind while I shower... okay, I know that's weird, but since I have no quiet time ever, I use an extra long shower to be alone with my thoughts and that's when my mind wanders... like who I would cast in these movie/books... that and when I'm in the car running errands and my kids are quiet of course. My mind is an endless source of creativity that the Lord has blessed me with. I have so many ideas for books and stories... too bad I don't have time to actually write. I doing this in between baths and bedtime. And by the time my adrenaline rush is over, I too whooped to do anything....

So finally, to those I have not replied to through email. I'm so sorry, but there is no way I can get through 300+ emails in one night. I'm trying, but I will eventually get back to those of you that make sense when you email me. Those aspiring vampires, sorry but I will not be replying to you because I have no idea how to actually become one. Take care to everyone and check back because my new goal is getting my own casting list up in the next few days.
