Cra-zay.

That seems to be my life right now. I have so much to get done within the next couple of days. And then after that, I have so much other stuff to get done within that week. Wow. It's times like these that make me want to say "F my l" but then I don't because I know that all of the hell leading up to these weekends is going to make it well worth it.

School is driving me nuts (and now I'll officially admit that). My spring break isn't until the end of this month, but I look at that in a positive way because it means that I won't have any homework during Sam's birthday weekend.

If you think I'm just complaining because I'm lazy, you're only half right. So to make you understand, here's what I have to do in these cra-zay upcoming weeks.

• Invite for the Twilight party this upcoming weekend has to be finished and sent out -- TODAY. Yikes.
• The entire house has to be clean by Friday. Actually, it probably has to be clean by Thursday, and that's before I leave to go have sushi with Liz at MOA.
• Thursday is probably going to be a Target run for everything party related. Decorations, food and other fun stuff needs to get to the house.
• I'm still contemplating the costume. And sometime this week, if at all possible, I need to test out the Alice hair theory.
• Friday -- as much as it's going to be probably the BEST DAY EVER -- is going to be a hell day. Costume has to be figured out then. Liz is (hopefully) coming over to help me bake. Decorations have to go up. Everything has to be clean. I have to remember to hook up the DVD player so we can actually watch the movie when we get back to the house. For me, Friday is SO getting a schedule. I'm not usually one to stay on time or on task, but it needs to happen on Friday. Nothing can go wrong because this day and night and party has to be perfect. It just has to be.
• Saturday still needs plans. I have absolutely no idea what's happening yet. I thought about a trip to MOA, but since Liz and I are heading out there on Thursday, I have no idea if we're going again. But I'm sure that we'll figure it out. We never really plan stuff anyway.

I haven't even gotten to the part about Sam's birthday weekend. Frankly, it's because we don't really know what's going on yet. We were supposed to go see Adventureland on Friday the 27th, but the release date got pushed back a week so that's now a no-go. But I'm sure it'll get figured out eventually, even if it happens to be last minute...

But amidst all of that crazyness, there has been some calm. And by calm, I mean good stuff.

• I WILL have my new Twilight calendar on Tuesday. Because they shipped it on Friday. Considering it was supposed to be released on St. Patrick's Day (which is Tuesday, FYI) and it was out at Borders the other day, it's about time for that new calendar. It's not that I hate the one that I have now -- because I love it. And it took me a LONG time to get it. But it was worth it. This new calendar doesn't become useable until December anyway...lol.
• I still have to order the Director's Notebook. I can't believe I haven't done that yet...wow. That's like the one thing I was overly excited for (except for the DVD of course).
• Sam and I are getting the 3 disc version of Twilight, courtesy of Target. It was supposed to only be available in Canada-land, but then I saw it was at Target too. Score! And it's only costing us $17.99. UNBELIEVABLE. It's awesome.
• Sam and I have had our mittens for a week and a day now. They're actually getting some use because it hasn't exactly been all that warm and sunny around here lately. But I kind of hope that it does get that way. Because I'm really looking forward to ditching my wool coat for something more awesome...

So in summary...

Clean the house. Clean the room. Clean everything. Sushi. MOA. Liz. Friday. Baking. Target. Decorations. Costume. Movie. Calendar. Mittens. Par-tay!

Umm...I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this one yet.

So apparently this is just a rumor. Click the title to find out what the heck I'm talking about. And I know that I said that this isn't all about Twilight and such. But right now, it is. I'm on the fence about this one.

Pro: Visually, I think she'd make a good Leah. Better than any of the other names they're throwing around (i.e.: another Disney Channel "princess", Brenda Song, who's Asian. Yes, I went there and made that reference ;) ). She's not exactly a perfect actress. She's also not six feet tall either. But the height thing doesn't really seem to factor into who the casting director has been choosing (How, you ask? Taylor Lautner almost lost his role but kept it because Jacob is supposed to seriously grow between Twilight and New Moon. Ashley Greene was cast as Alice Cullen even though she's about a foot taller than Alice is supposed to be. See? The height thing is clearly not at the top of the requirement list for casting.). I just think people hate this idea because she's branded as "Disney". But people have to realize that if she's Leah, there is NO Disney involved. Leah's hardcore -- she's a wolf, people.

Con: She's Disney. Everything she's ever done has been Disney. She hasn't branched out yet, and everytime someone hears her name, they think, "Oh geez. That chick from High School Musical again..." She's not exactly brilliant at her craft either. She can be whiney at times.


I guess what I'm trying to say is that if it was between her and some other bitch, you'd have to go with her. Because now that Twilight has been a major success, no one in the cast is a nobody anymore. There are other rumors going around that Dakota Fanning is being cast as Jane. No offense to anybody, but we all know that Vanessa Hudgens isn't as famous as Dakota Fanning. DF would be more of a distraction to us all, not to mention whatever fool they'd have to get to play her twin brother Alec.
Look at it this way: she IS Native American, which is something that can't be ignored with Leah. Her height won't make a difference on camera -- if it did, Taylor Lautner wouldn't be coming back. There are ways to make things look real when they're not; that's the beauty of movie magic.


I'm not saying that I would ultimately pick her to play Leah. But if she does get the part, I really hope she doesn't screw it up. If she can pull it off, it'll be fantastic for her career. Maybe she'll finally get that HSM stuff out of her system...

My ultimate pick for Leah, you ask? Kristin Kreuk. She isn't Native American (her father is Dutch and her mother is Chinese), but she looks like she is. She looks like she could pull it off. Everyone loved her in Smallville, and we haven't seen her much since. A lot of people on message boards and such are suggesting her name, and that is something that I would be all for. Come on, who didn't love her on Smallville?

Seriously...
