A Little Flaunt & Fairytale

I did not mean to be gone for almost an entire month (howdidthathappen?!)--I promise. So... Hi, everyone I've missed you so! I certainly did not realize that people were going to notice. I'm a tiny blog in a sea of wittier, funnier, and more amusing blogs written by wittier, funnier, and more amusing ladies (just look at my blog roll and you'll know). And I often stray from strict Twilight discussion, so the fact anyone gave a fleeting moment's thought to my whereabouts was whole-heartedly touching, thank you. (Though most of you were aware because I'm never far away from email!)

I anticipated a string of busy days which quickly turned into weeks, and bla bla bla, here I am and I finally have a chance to blog. I haven't even been on blogger since I last left it. And not to worry I'm leaving the circle, it's not to say I've lost interest in Twilight (I only wish that would finally happen so I can get a life), I've simply had no time. Let me just put that statement into perspective:

I only just caught up on the last four episodes of The Vampire Diaries (*PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT ABOUT THE FINALE--I've yet to watch)

I lost six pounds* in those first two weeks being MIA by the sheer fact there were days I'd come home so late that sleep won over eating a wee morning dinner. Or sometimes I didn't even remember to eat--me--not remember to eat. Not even a donut (Amy and Jennifer get the severity of this).

*I recently gained those six pounds back (you never needed to worry, Lisa!) because my west coast bestie--who decided to go on vacation to Hawaii because I was going to be too busy to entertain her if she came to visit me instead--mailed me the world's largest bag of chocolate covered, toffee covered, whole macadamia nuts, which I carried in my purse to and from work till it was GONE.

I have the last 6 episode of Glee taped, and waiting to be enjoyed with popcorn on a Saturday night.

Wow, how lame, I just realized my priorities are television and food. Anyway, I've never been someone who had no time to do things but I guess if you find the right kind of work, that'll take the time away.

It so happens that I've been on the hunt for FLAUNT magazine for weeks now. Almost a month to be exact. The man at the Hudson News stand was probably getting tired of me being that girl who'd come in to see if the new issue was out yet, but today was the day. And I have time to write about it!

Now remember, I haven't been in the blogosphere, and this is probably going to be repeat news to most of you but I'm posting it anyway, because I love reading new interviews in shiny new magazines.

First of all, if you're also looking for this and expect to scan for this at the drugstore:



You'd be wrong. You're looking for this:


And then inside of that, you'll flip to this:


Which will then lead you Kristen, who is three covers in.

Here you go:












So one thing that struck a cord was that commentary the interviewer makes about Kristen's "fan" encounter:

No, what's scary is that a grown man (at least twice her age) got up from his table to tell Kristen Stewart that he's a big fan. A fan of what, exactly? Assuming he's referring to the films she's appeared in--and it's probably safe to bet he's only seen the pair of Twilight installments--what does he want in exchange for his hello?

Those are my thoughts exactly--but first--I finally got to see Taylor Swift in concert last week! (V, I'm so glad got to go when she came to your area too, it was SO FUN!)

So Bestie, who I got these tickets for as a Christmas gift, and I went wearing floral and sparkle that is entirely appropriate for such an occasion, and our seats were fantastic! On the floor and dead center. And to our immediate left, we notice that there is a man sitting next to us. A man. A questionable middle-aged, fully-grown man, wearing wire glasses and Dockers, definitely alone and definitely at a Taylor Swift concert.

And what was he doing there? That was in the back of my mind the entire night and any explanation I came up with only varied in degrees of creepiness. It's not right, okay? Taylor Swift is a nice girl, she's only 20, and really, what was he doing?

Other than that, I encourage anyone to see this girl on concert. Everyone that goes knows all the lyrics to her songs, she tells stories about fairytales and romances, it's like a girl's night slumber party with singing and dancing and heart confetti. Only Taylor Swift would have heart confetti.








And guess who even made an appearance during Today Was A Fairytale?
