firstly, forgive me if i seem a little distracted in this blog........ because it's only 2 DAYS UNTIL NEW MOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*ahem*
just in case it slipped your mind....!

This is going to be a pretty quick blog, i won't really be talking about any global twi-news today, mostly just about the New Moon fan event i went to at the weekend, so feel free to just 'forget' to read this one.... i'll understand..... lol

And yes, if any of you guys were in Dublin this weekend for the New Moon release party, would you not agree that it was really good?!!!
It was awesome to finally be able to talk to other people about Twilight, without having to say the word 'Twilight' quietly incase someone overheard me and thought 'oh god, here she goes again...!', without having to feel self-consious about wearing a Twilight t-shirt because everyone else was too, and without having to stop and explain every single reference i made, be it to the books or the movie or an interview or anything!
Yes, as i said, awesome times!

It was also great to get to meet Solomon Trimble (who played Sam in the first movie: "The Cullens don't come here."). He answered fan questions for about an hour, and read some of his poetry (which, if you haven't experienced before, i suggest you go watch him reciting a poem we wrote from Sam to Emily here, as it is Beautiful! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IinQH... ).
I thought that part might end up being a bit boring, because i figured Solomon had been kind of interviewed out by this stage and that i'd heard everything there was to hear, but I did actually hear plenty of new things!
He spoke a bit about his upcoming projects, and read some more of his poetry which I don't think the fandom had heard before, but the thing that surprised me the most is that he actually tried just as hard as Taylor Lautner to keep his role as Sam for the rest of the Saga. I guess I had kind of been under the impression that it had been a minor decision to replace him, since even though we all knew he was 'Sam', he only had 2 lines and was only in the credits as 'Jacob's friend', but to Solomon at least it was a big deal - he spoke about how he worked out every day and filled up on protein from the moment his scenes in Twilight were finished filming - exactly like the story we all recognise as being Taylor's struggle to stay on as Jacob - but ultimately, Chris Weitz decided against keeping him.
I guess, because he was a minor character, the media never picked up on it and so it didn't become a 'big deal' like Taylor did, but it was still saddening to hear that he really had tried that hard.

And OF COURSE, my team won the table quiz!! (Although I was amazed to find one girl at my table actually knew more about the books than me! [only just though... hehe])

All in all, it was a really great experience, and i definitely hope they do one again in the summer for Eclipse.
If you didn't make it and want to find out more - or to convince them to do something when Eclipse comes out as well! - you can visit the website here: http://www.twilightirelandevent.webs.com or follow them on twitter here: http://www.twitter.com/TwilightEvent


Lol, sorry if this blog was a disappointment
I'll post another short-ish one on Saturday or Sunday with my reactions to NEW MOON (!!!) (don't worry, i'll put a spoiler warning on it!), and i MIGHT be able to do a 'proper' blog on Tuesday (yay for teachers striking! Tuesday for me = catch up on the last 2-3 weeks of Twicrack day!). If i don't get it done on Tuesday (there was a LOT of Twicrack...!), i'll DEFINITELY have it Friday/Saturday of next week!!

So i'll see you soon!! Hope you all have fun seeing New Moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ZOMG it's so close!!!)
Oh and of course, remember, No Spoilers please!!!!!
I will make a dedicated forum tomorrow night wher

P.S Sorry haven't uploaded the billboard picture yet, I tried to take a picture of it but my Mum drives to fast and we were gonna walk past it, but it decided to rain!! :S

ZOMG! Ciara's actually doing a blog!!

(**Edit by Ciara, um, just before i post this.... lol, yes i know this is wierd and doesn't make any sense, but work with me here: I wrote this blog last night but was unable to post it until now. Since writing it, there have been... 'developments' that basically make a moot point out of most of the entire blog, but since i am lazy i'm just going to leave it how it is and add in the 'developments' at the end. SO, if you know of these 'developments', bear with me until the end!)

First of all, i would like to apologise for the lateness of this blog - i had a busy weekend (which involved me seeing the New Moon trailer in a tv shop on 100 screens at once!) and, well, if it hasn't already dawned on you, the Twilight world is ever so slightly hectic at the moment.....!
I would also like to make it clear right away that i genuinely have no idea when i'll next be able to write a blog! It's very unlikely i'll be able to write one this coming weekend (more on what i'm doing then later!) and the following weekend...... Well, that's New Moon opening weekend!!!! That's right people - only 8 1/2 days left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So yeah, i don't know if i'm going to be able to blog that weekend either - i'll try to get some in during the week when i can though!
And finally...... doing this blog is replacing twicrack searching, so if anything interesting has happend in the twi world since Sunday i haven't got around to looking at it yet so it's not going to make an appearance today!

Now, back to business.....
I'll tell you right away that almost all of this blog is going to be ROBSTEN-centred, so if you really don't like that...... um..... sorry! lol
You shall see the reason for this at some point during the blog........
(warning: this blog may also contain ridiculous amounts of totally amature and in reality totally made up psychoanalysis....! )
I also apologise in advance for the fact that there will be NO fanfic rec in this blog..... I'll try and have a good one for you in the next proper blog though!

We all remember THAT Vanity Fair photoshoot Rob and Kristen did summer 2008, right...? (here's one pic, just to refresh your memory...! http://url.ie/2ubt )
WELL.
I know that I for one never thought there could ever possibly be a better Robsten photoshoot.....
I WAS WRONG.
Check out these AMAZING pics from a recent shoot Rob and Kristen did with magazine Harper's Bazaar - um, you might want to leave some time to do this. A lot of time. Preferably alone or with fellow fangirls. And you may want to warn your neighbors to wear earmuffs......
Prepare. To. Be. Dazzled: http://www.bebo.com/c/photos/album_d...
Thank god the albums can fit up to 96 photos now, because there are a LOT of outtakes...!
*dies. like a million times over*

Harper's Bazaar also has an interview with Rob and Kristen, in which it is briefly mentioned that they apparently called each other 'husband' and 'wife' on set.....!
http://www.harpersbazaar.com/magazin...

Also, in another interview, Kristen gets, um, rather annoyed when asked about Robsten rumours.......
I think it's funny how Rob tries to interject in the middle, trying to be peaceful and calm her down, but there are a few things I think we can take from this little interview...
1. I'm deciding, on the basis of this, to believe that Kristen is definitely no longer with Michael Oregano Angorano. I know loads of people have been assuming this for months, but i have a strict policy on not believing anything until i see it with my own eyes, so i've been giving them the benefit of the doubt up until now - surely, rather than denying or otherwise the Robsten rumours, Kristen would simply say 'hey, guys, i've got a boyfriend!' if it were true?!
2. The fact that they're not longer actually 'denying' it g
