Hello world I'm your wild girl...

I know I said I wouldn't mention the T word til at least twenty-ten, but with a certain star of the T word starring in a new film next spring, I can't help but wonder if this means lots of young girls will get into The Runaways, I hope so.

I heart Wilkos

I don't think I could be friends with anyone who didn't like Wilkinsons, I mean it's great, your in a jam and need something quick, anything, pop over to Wilkos and you know they will have it AND at a reasonable price.

My love for Wilkos doubled today when I saw they had the same crafty minds as us here at Sugar Paper.

I did think about stealing these ideas for the next zine, but then I didn't want bad Wilkos Karma, so here is what I found today:

song with a crafty sounding title...

Because as much as I pretend the band who I fell in love with at age 11, don't really do it for me anymore, I was a little sad I was in London this weekend when they were in Manchester, le sigh:

I know....

I said no more Twilight related posts until like 2010, but I forgot about this picture the other day.

It's a nice bit of spot the difference:

Also, I made emo top trumps last year, a few months later Rocksound made some, I made Twilight top trumps the other week, NOW Sugar magazine has made them, god I am such a trendsetter!

BUSTa rhymes!

We both attended Bust's summer craftacular, it was a ton-o-fun and do you know what we both said afterwards? We said:

So you can imagine how happy we were when this was announced:

I shall be there with my wares dancing to the tunes Sarah Killing Fantasy will be spinning, Kandy will be there knitting up a giant knitted paper chain, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN, be there or be square.

PS I heart this vid!

NEW SWOOOOOOOOOOOOON...

OK, so I promise this is the last time I write a Twilight heavy blog (well until at least next year!). I'm not sure what happened or when it did, the turning point, the point I thought it was OK to be 25 and writing Twilight fan fic, the point when looking at the pile of stuff on your bed and noticing it has a particular theme,

exhibit A:

I know my trip to America somewhat fueled it, me and Nickie deciding it to definitely be or new thing to get obsessed over,

exhibit Bexhibit C:

(I still don't know why we didn't take advantage of all that merch FOOLS!).

OK so anyway as you may have heard "Twilight 2" came out the other week, me and a bunch of other 20somethingfeministswhoshouldknowbetter got tickets for a midnight showing, now just going to the cinema at midnight is exciting enough. A little too exciting for me and I got carried away, making Twilight Top Trumps, vxgxn Twilight gingerbreads and special tees for Kandy,

exhibit D:

I think I was so excited I couldn't really remember what the film was like, so I went to see it the next day. I have seen it three times in total, and must say it's a complete lolfest.

I will admit it's not as exciting as the trailer, that made me wet my pants, but I still enjoyed it.

Buffed Jacob made me feel a little ill, not keen on the Cullen's new contacts and why did it seem that everyone was on screen for a total of 1minute?!

I quite liked the 'months' scene, thought the Bella/Jacob rain scene lasted too long and that the Alice jumping over the stairwell scene is the worst thing in film history. Volturi not scary enough, more Edward in his grey tee less of the old man suit, Carlisle been down Next for his dad outfits?

And so the big question, are you Team Edward, or Team Jacob? well seeing as I am incredibly shallow, I decide teams based on who I fancy, so that's Team Edward, plus I'm a sucker for a boy full of woe. But in all honesty I probs would tell Eddie to MTFU. Jacobs makes me a bit sick, I would totez love to run with the wolves, they have more fun, but Jacob would just want to do me aaaaaall the time, plus I have this thing where I think I am far superior to younger boys.

I think we had a TE switch to a TJ, but mostly Team Charlie.

I am definitely not Team Bella, get a personality, jeez.

And so I come to the end of another pointless (Twilight) post, but I promise this is the end (now there's a link to this blog on the Bust site I wouldn't want a bunch of angryfeminists shouting at me through blogger, imagine!......

Unless i get the Twilight or New Moon board game for Christmas!!
