Adventures of Pocket Edward - Nevada trip

Wow, has it been a long time since I ventured out of the pocket or what??! Yes, there have been opportunities for me to make appearances but for some odd reason...people tend to look at me funny...and those who take my pictures! So, I find myself in the pocket/purse too often...maybe those who take pictures of me shouldn't care what others think?! I'll have to pass that info on ;)

Well, the owner of my pocket/purse had a birthday in Vegas over the 4th of July weekend and I got to go! I didn't get to have any fun with the slot machines because security kept yelling at my pocket/purse owner for taking pictures...but, I did have fun at other places!

It all started at The Mad Greek Cafe in Baker, CA. This place has been showcased on The Food Network by Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-ins & Dives (yes, it's all 3 of those) but don't let the tacky decor fool ya! They have THE BEST gyros around!!

::sigh:: no mountain lion here...only lamb gyros

Then it was off to Vegas where I spent most of my time in a back-pack...but I did get to play at the Valley of Fire Nevada State Park! It was hotter than hell and I'm sure I'd have sparkled a lot of my manufacturer had included embedded glitter ;)

It's like playing Where's Waldo...

As you may have guessed...the Valley of Fire has some really cool RED rocks in it! I got to hide in lots of cool places (cool because seriously, I would've melted in the Nevada desert heat!).

Here I am! Lookin' all stealthy in this cave meant just for me!

I was pleasantly surprised when other people (not just my pocket/purse owner) started posing me in interesting situations...

Better hold on tight, spider monkey... ::giggle:: I've always wanted to say that

I dunno about you...but I'm feeling pretty bad-ass right now...

There's this pretty cool rock formation called Elephant Rock...and I felt strangely compelled to bring it water. I'm not quite sure why...something kept telling me that I had to bring water for the elephant ;)

Whoa, this elephant is looking a bit parched...I may be too late.

The sun was too unbearable for my pocket/purse owner...one could only tromp around in the desert wearing jeans and slippers in 105 degrees for only so long (yes...I'm serious, jeans...in the desert). We headed to Overton, NV and found a McDonalds with a RedBox in front of it. Lo and behold, I saw this rather devilishly handsome man on the cover of a DVD...

This just didn't feel right...my heart belongs to Bella. This Tyler guy can have this one.

The trip was over...time to head back to California with less money in our pockets (well, not my pocket anyway) but not before we stopped at Bob's Big Boy in Baker, CA.

Dude, there's NO WAY you're fitting in to ANYBODY'S pocket...

I'm not big...I'm pocket sized!

Whoa...maybe I partied too hard in Vegas after all?!

Someone really should try to do something with your hair...

I look like a birthday candle on top of this gigantic burger!

That was my 4th of July adventure! Nothing too fancy...just a few shots to remind you all that I exist :) Catch ya the next time I'm let out of the pocket!

Eclipse Soundtrack - Official Movie Order; Completed 7/14!

::obvious spoilers ahead...read at your own risk!!::

Are you like me and NEED to have your Twilight Soundtracks in official movie order? Ok, maybe not NEED but it is pretty cool to put it in this order. Dunno about you but it actually helps me play the movie in my head... LOL!

This post is going to be a work-in-progress until everything is right. Obviously the first couple of viewings my attention is literally glued to the screen to take in the beauty of this new and exciting world. It was a stretch to try to get my brain to remember to write down the song when it started playing and I'm sure that even then, I got it wrong ;) So, as I go through future viewings, I'll update this post and let you know!

And now...the really good stuff :) UNFORTUNATELY there was a lot of pushing going on so these aren't as clear as I'd like them to be. Whatever, they're still decent...enjoy!

I spotted him WAY down the carpet and snapped this picture before he even made it on to the main part. I love my camera...well, ok...plus it was easier to spot a man in a maroon suit ::swoon::

Oh My Wow I LOVE Smiley Rob!!!

I love this picture for many reason...first, Rob's in it...duh. Second...check out that papper on the right. He is CLEARLY upset that Rob spent most of his time with US instead of posing for them. Really...like Rob needed to give me ANOTHER reason to find him adorable??!

I may be weird but this is probably my favorite picture. I have no idea what his face looks like (hello, we all know it's gorgeous) but to have a glimpse at what he has to deal with all the time...being on that side of the camera...wow

I love goofy Rob pictures...heehee

This is the ONLY picture I have of Taylor...did he spend less time with fans? dunno...my attention was slightly consumed by a tall, yummola Brit ;)

GORGEOUS!!

This is such a classic Kristen look! Oh how I love her...

Kristen was totally gracious with the fans...she signed A LOT!!

The Twifecta posed for pappers...unfortunately we couldn't get them to turn around.

It's ok, I'm happy with this picture...cuz I can do this...

Ta dah! There they are...my best pictures. They are what they are...but I hope you enjoyed them :) Feel free to share with anyone you think would enjoy seeing them. I'm going to leave you with a few honorable mentions...

Check out the death-grip that Kristen has on Rob's coat! It's like she's saying "don't you DARE leave me"

Check out the papper...doesn't it look like she's thinking "hubba hubba" LOL!



Caught a few tongues hanging out on the Black Carpet!!

 Didn't your mom ever tell you, "if you keep it up, your face will freeze like that!"?

And finally...this man looks like he just had a realization..."there's NO WAY any of these ladies is looking at me when this guy's around".

 The End :)
