If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

In high school, my then-boyfriend Robert Garcia, whose family was from Colombia, was making fun of all of us for using a knife and fork to eat the cafeteria tacos. "This," he said, "is how you eat tacos" and picked his up in both hands and took a bite, at which point all the filling slid out the other end and went all over his shirt. We asked him to show us how to eat tacos whenever they were served from then on.

This same guy was just made the executive producer of NPR news, so go figure.

Yes these Twilight & Twilight Saga: New Moon Sweethearts Forbidden Fruits “conversation heart” candies are real. In fact you can buy them online if you can’t resist the temptation.

I have a box, because my friends are evil things. They taste VILE. They taste like bad Avon perfume after 20 years. However, I'm still tempted to find the one that says "dazzle", shellack it, and turn it into a piece of jewelry.

I love this bit:

Candies come in passionate fruit flavors, and every box contains special dazzled hearts that shimmer in the sun, just like Edward Cullen himself.

They're not very shimmery, IIRC. I even made sure to look at some of the "special dazzled hearts" in their native setting of Forks, WA when I went on the Sparkly Road Trip of Doom, but no sparkle.

Well, I'm old, so the averages are on my side that people I grew up with are doing okay in their careers. He was just a high school guy back then! We called ourselves the Mick and the Spic. He always liked politics and journalism. When he ran for student council my BFF and ran his campaign, and his slogan was "9 out of 10 people prefer Colombian" which we thought was the height of sophistication back int the '70s.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Speaking of that vampire movie - Jillie, have you seen this?

Ha! I had not, and it is a thing of beauty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure it's not just your age. My grandmother is OLD, and dated a LOT, and the best I've heard of her former beaux is one who was a doctor.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm old and I have no famous former beaux. I knew a few people in college who became famous (and, in at least one case, infamous), but there was no dating.
