Twilight Bitch!

(Edward and Bella necking... HA!)

There are approximately two things people at work know about me...  1.  That I like "Twilight" (God it has been a long time since I wrote about Edward and Bella, What up my friends?!) and 2. That I can be an unrelenting bitch sometimes.  I mean, people who I barely recognize on sight come up to me and are like "I just read Eclipse" or "I finally saw the movie for Twilight.  Robert Pattinson is super dreamy" or "That stupid vampire glitter movie blows!"   And I'm like, ok...  I don't even know if you have kids or a spouse or what your last name is actually, and here you are chatting me up about one of my mega interests.  So of course, I engage.  I love to talk about my interests and myself (duh!) and I get to hear all about whether they loved or hated it or whatever.  I am the official "Keeper of the Keys" of Twilight-town.  I guess that's fine.  But you know moments later, I will have to send these people a harsh and abrupt email and be all "Why can't you get this stupid thing right?  Small children and maybe apes could do this, why can't you?" (That is not what my emails actually say- but could perhaps be the subtext of most).  And then these people rightfully HATE ME, all while still acknowledging my love of Edward and his Volvo (no really, I mean his car not his cock).  Hence the not-so-joking nickname of "Twilight Bitch" was bestowed upon me one afternoon by Regina Jam (another nickname).  It is sad and true- one day I will probably work somewhere else and all anyone will remember about me are those two things.  Nikki Illinois: she loved Bobby P and could sometimes really be an uber-twat.  Memories... like the corners of my mind... misty water color.... Well you get the idea.

So my blog today is to kind of update the masses of co-workers and friends about some of my other favorite things.  If you are a FB friend to my alter-ego and real name, than you are aware that I adore other things aside from The Twilight these days.  But if not- here is a guide to all the things that currently make my Radar of Awesome, pop-culturally speaking.

1.  Chris Colfer (GLEE):  I love Glee and the music and the fun it can sometimes be (although this season is crazy-town).  But I would be totally happy if the show were just about Kurt (not to be confused with my Porkbutt, Curt... even though I sometimes do it myself) Hummel as played by the delightful sprite Chris Colfer.  My sister (Hey Michelle!) has laid claim to NPH as her super celebrity gay friend and well she can officially have him.  I will take CC and go chat about Lady Gaga and let him know how incredible he is always.  For reals, he makes the show for me.  He is Mr. Super Mcfrigginawesometon and he is breaking down walls.  Plus how could you not want him to do high-kicks and sing in French and wear cute little hats and yell at stupid meat-head bullies all the time?  I would like to carry around a pocket version of Chris Colfer just so he could brighten my day just by smiling and waving at me.  I'm not kidding... just check my FB Status during or after Glee.  It is always about Kurt Hummel.  Also I cried my little heart out when he sang "I wanna hold your hand" about his dad.  Chris Colfer as cute as a puppy and as awesome as a gay husband. Win Win there my friends, truly.

(Chris Colfer- being awesome)

 

2. The Winchester Boys (Supernatural):  Surprisingly, I am not ending with The Boys on this one.  I mean- they are my current favoritest thing ever.  I cannot express how much fun I've had getting to know them over the last year, both the characters and the actors (Of course not really get to know the actors, but like in a watching Youtube videos of SPN Conventions kind of get to know).  I have had Winchester Marathons with Killer and Kernus and Frisbie watching the 5 seasons so far - over and over and over again (and crying and crying and crying again).  And my sister (Hey Michelle!) and I have uber-bonded over the show making jokes whenever we can about rock-salt and sulphur and you know, Wendingos eating your Finn (and Rugarus too!).  In any case, a show about two tragic super-hotties running around killing and beating all things Supernatural is like a sausage of Awesome wrapped in some bacon of Sexy.  Also Snackles (Jensen Ackles) and JPad (Jared Padalecki) themselves are so very fun (not to mention Misha Collins and Jim Beaver).  I love this show so very much.  So very much so that I am going to meet these actors for realsies in July.  No, really- I am.  It will be epic and I will be crazy.  Also if you could all pray or whatever really hard that Snackles goes to the Parsippany, NJ Convention too- I would greatly appreciate it.  Son of Bitch!!!  O The Boys!

3. Harry Potter: I am sad to report that Harry Potter is ending.  As in winding the hell down now that all books are published and all movies are made.  HP 7.1 comes out on Thursday night and it looks to be amazing.  I have loved HP since hmmmm The Goblet of Fire came out.  The book, not the movie co-starring Bobby P.  It is a great series and I recommend all people every where read them.  On Thursday night/Friday morning, I am going to see the first part of the finale.  I just re-read the book this summer and cried through the whole thing, like every day, at work... openly weeping at the table on the balcony.  So I can only imagine what the movie will do to me.  I hate that it is coming to an end...  the second I read the first book, I wanted to be at Hogwarts... wanted to be Harry's friend... wanted to destroy Voldemort myself.  I got my friends to read them, my mom and brother and father (Tom & Michelle are still holding out on reading them all), Nick (my Godson) loves HP- much like I knew he would.  It is an incredible story from beginning to end and it is a favorite of mine... right up there with Young Guns 2, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Rocky, Twilight, and Supernatural.  Congratulations on a wicked ride DRad and everyone in the movies.  JK Rowling you are a genius and thank you for every moment you wrote for us.

So as you can see, I am not just "Twilight Bitch!"  Sure for a while there I only talked about Edward and the Cullens and Bobby P.  But I've grown since then and there is more of me to love and know then just vampires people.  Like demon hunters and wizards and gay boys- just to name a few.  So in the future, when approaching me in the kitchen at work, remember I am more than a surly vampire loving jerk.  Well sometimes.
