With only a week and a day left until the movie, can we stand the excitement? There are so many new interviews that I can't keep up anymore. Don't miss my new post about why.
Here is a gorgeous picture to get you through. Our next post will be the movie discussion!
See you at the movies.

Happy Birthday Jenn!

Hey everyone! I realize the day is about over, and I'm sorry for the late message, but I wanted to wish Jenn a Happy Birthday! It's a big one this year :) You'd never know, you definitely don't look it! We all love having you as a part of our TA blog, you contribute great and fun stuff and help keep things lively! I, of course, am partial because you're my sister and I love you and you're one of my favorite people. But I think everyone who knows and meets you can see how kind and awesome of a person you are. I hope everyone will give Jenn and birthday wish, even though I'm sure most of them will be belated (my fault for posting so late, and also weekends are always slower on the blog, so you're fault for having a weekend birthday) but like MA said, belated wishes just keep the happiness flowing longer! I was also thinking that along with everyone's birthday wish to Jenn, you could also maybe help her think up her new TW sign on name. She's been trying to figure one out for a while now, so I think she'd love some suggestions!
Again Jenn, Happy Birthday and thanks for being the person you are, love ya!

I hope your day was very happy, relaxing, full of fun, and love from your family!! (My little Max turned 1 today, so it was a fun day for us as well)
It has been so fun meeting you and seeing your TW side at our meetings! Like your sis said - you seem to radiate kindness and sincerity - even without knowing you all that well.
I am not very good at fun,catchy phrases (notice I got help with mine), but I have always loved your laugh, and you always start, end, or breakup your fun comments with a LOL or something fun like that - maybe we could tie that in to one of the names from TW - who were you most like after taking the quiz? Anyway, that was no help! But again, I hope you had a terrific day!!

Trish said...

Ok, so funny thing. Jenn actually sent me an email tonight asking me to help her with a name and sent along some names that she (and even her husband helped a little!) has thought up so far. So I'm going to list the ones I like the best of those 7 you sent Jenn and see what anyone else thinks up and posts, as well as what they think of these. Then maybe we can all help you narrow them down. Ok, here are a few of the ones I like:
"MyOtherCarsAVolvo", "HeartofGranite", "OnceBitten" oh and "BiteMe,Please" is cute too. I can list the others too, but let's start with these.

(By the way, I'd love to know which ones Jimmy helped you think up, especially since he hasn't read them!)

Jenn said...

Haha, what a perfect way to end the day! Thankyou so much for your words, they made me smile and chuckle too.I really needed this today.I was supposed to work today but ended up calling off cause I have been sick for a few days, catching what my parents have I guess. I had been paying a little daily visit to see what help they needed.

I wasn't too worried about catching anything since I'm around sick people coughing in my face all day at work, but my vampireness wasn't strong enough to resist the bugs I guess.

But,then, I probably would have stayed in bed anyway because I'm feeling sorry for myself in a big way today! I can't even say the number of my age without shuddering--(4-0)I'll get over it sooner or later, especially since it's not going to go away,ever.

Anyway, Erin that was so so nice, thankyou! And in answer to your question of who did I test to be the most like? It was Esme.What about you? Trish thanks for the phone call and the comment, they were so nice! Now as for Jimmy helping me with some of the names, it started with me telling him I needed to think of a better sign on name and somehow just started telling him each of the Cullens' stories and how they changed,(he was actually looking me in the face and listening and everything) and he would just blurt out these names every so often. Out of the ones you listed here, "Once Bitten" is one of his, the others he said are in your email(guess you liked mine better haha) he also said a few more but they were sorta gay, he doesn't know that though-lol.

Anyway, so yeah if anyone has some suggestions that would be great, thanks Trish for posting this!

Jenn said...

So, I was playing with my mouse above these comments for fun,there's a big blank space above them on my view. I clicked and low and behold a post was highlighted! Thanks so much Trish that made me teary eyed--I'm so glad you were chosen to be my sister, I cant imagine it being anyone else.I love you!

Trish said...

So you didn't see the whole post at first? Is that what you're saying? Did you just see the title or something on the main page? Weird-

Jenn said...

yeah I just saw the title over on the right side where all the posts are listed and when I clcked on "mine" there was a big blank space but the time it was posted was at the bottom of the blankness then there started the comments.I waved the mouse over the blank spot and did a click then it came on all highlighted in blue like when you copy and paste something on regular email--i don't know why it did that, I know weird huh? Thats actually happened once before on another post, I'll have to look it up and tell you which one it is--Tell Justy thanks for the phone call :)

Ruth said...

Happy belated B-day! Hope you had a wonderful day (sounds like you did)! As for the names, I like "OnceBitten." "MyOtherCarsaVolvo" is realy funny, but kind of long.

lioness said...

Jenn, Happy Happy Birthday yesterday.
If you are feeling sensitive at all about the number you are turning, DON'T. Think how young and cool it makes you that you are a Twilight Addict. Very hip. And I agree with everyone else, you add something very special here. I love getting to know you more outside our TW world. I can tell you are a very loving and giving person. Your smile and laugh really do brighten peoples day!

MyOtherCarsaVolvo I love. And biteme,please.
I will add "Cullenized" and "I'mwiththevampires". You could abbreviate even more like "imw/thevampires". Does anyone not realize that is a line from the end of Twilight?
I didn't think so.
Love ya Jenn!

lioness said...

One more:
vampiresR4ever -
And I added that picture of Bella because the saying reminds me of you Jenn. "Forever Young" is a compliment in my book!

lioness said...

Jenn I can't wait to see what you choose. You really didn't need our help but I am having fun adding these. So here is one more:

dazzled

Plain, simple, and perfect for any of us.

betchafeelbetter said...

Happy belated birthday! It is so fun to have friends from the blog, even if I've only met you all once!

I love "MyOtherCarsAVolvo," and the two by Twilightmom. I almost used "Imwiththevampires" for my name, because I do love that line in the book.

jillybean22 said...

Happy Late Birthday, Jenn! It was fun to meet you at the last few meetings and getting to talk to you on the way down to Provo in December. Hope your birthday was great and that this year is the best ever!

Anonymous said...

Hey Jen-

Happy Birthday! I don't know you yet, but hope to meet you at the TA meeting on Feb 7th! You sound like such a nice, fun person - just like everyone else in the group!! Have a great day!!

~Marti

Jenn said...

Oh my, I was just reading these for the second time, and I must say its made my day again! I've wanted to write back and thank you all for the birthday wishes but one of our computers has a virus and so our internet provider has temporarily intercepted our use until we can get them cleaned out-I have been able to read and enjoy them via moblie phone however.
ANYWAY, thanks so much everyone for your words, it means so much that you all took the time to say something. Also, thanks all for your input on my name!-lol
What a weenie I am about that--

Trish said...

Jenn, there are some great ones to choose from, I love the others that were added. I really like "Cullenized" and "dazzled" and of course "Imwiththevampires".
Now I know that line is familiar, but I'm not sure where. This will be fun for me to find out where at in the end of TW it is. Want to give me a hint before I just look it up?
We have all been "Cullenized" haven't we? I know I have!

betchafeelbetter said...

RWV - hint: This month's meeting

Trish said...

Ok, so I've been thinking but not getting anywhere yet. I am ill, and a bit drugged up right now, so I'll blame the slowness on that. Wait, it just hit me, I've been thinking this month, as in Feb. and what's coming next, but we're still in Jan. so you mean the meeting we just had about the other TW characters? Ok, let me think further...

Is anyone having trouble getting kickback messages sent to their emails? I'm getting them from some posts but not all...hmmm.

lioness said...

Hint: "massacre the unsuspecting townsfolk"

lioness said...

And Jenn, now that your computer is working, and you are hopefully feeling better, would you PICK A NAME ALREADY!! I can't wait to see what you decide. Even if its none of the names on here.

Trish said...

Well, ok, it's obviously around the time when they're running from James and Bella is worried about Charlie and all of Forks?

lioness said...

I hope you are enjoying that you can't remember some things. My most dramatic example of forgetting amazing Twilight scenes is when I forgot the "jeep kiss". What a wonderful thing to rediscover.

Next hint:
"And where do you fit into the scheme?" he glared"

betchafeelbetter said...

The NEXT meeting.

Trish said...

Oh I am thoroughly enjoying it!! This is as fun as the last one (the 2-worder). I'm so happy that I could help you rediscover that jeep kiss, it's something to NEVER forget! Oh, it's a good one.

I was initially on the right track of Feb. meeting of Bella and Edward romance, good.

Ok, I'm going to think, I'll be back shortly. Thanks!

Trish said...

Is it the night of the prom?

lioness said...

Yes! So exactly where does the line fit in, come on now.

Esmessence said...

Hey - that was fun to read. I sure love that part...I just put my kids to bed, and I'm sneeking in a little TA before I go clean my house alone, sigh!! And so, the meeting is the 7th?! I hadn't heard for sure.

betchafeelbetter said...

By the way, TM/MA, I like the new flashing Avatar-thing on the blog.

And, RWV, they were doing some maintenance on Blogger today and yesterday, and I noticed that some of my email subscriptions stopped coming, too. I had to resubscribe to a few.

betchafeelbetter said...

Name idea: IBRAKE4VOLVOS

lioness said...

Sorry Erin I was going to tell you personally about the date. I know its not the best for you. Details soon.

Anything volvo!
You know the other day I say a very old silver volvo, not run down, but ancient. It still made me smile. I cannot not smile when I see a volvo. Thank you Edward.

Trish said...

Ok, I'm back. I'm going to have to think through the prom a bit (poor me) and figure out where it fits! Thanks again for this fun little quiz.

I was going to mention as well MA, I love the new avatar, and also the "crystal" heart picture that you added. I love new stuff like this! The new flashing avatar, kind of makes me want to read that part in TW again.

Yes, I agree, anything volvo! That's a good one though BFB. Jenn, I know you, and I know you now are going to struggle with making a decision on which one of these is best for you. Don't worry, no one will feel bad if you don't choose their's. I'll help you narrow it down if you'd like, I think this is fun.

Alright then, I'll be back soon, after I think through the whole prom thoroughly in my head :)
I'm happy that I don't know exactly where it is, I always want to rediscover things as I reread them.

Trish said...

Btw, thanks BFB, I'm glad I'm not the only one that was having blog issues. I don't like that because it might make me miss out on a comment somewhere!

Trish said...

Ok, so I really can't think of exactly where it fits in!
I think it's when they walk outside to talk after they've danced, toward the very end? Is it during that part of the conversation? I really can't remember quite how the conversation goes. Frustrating and good at the same time. I won't look just yet, but I don't even know if another hint will help or not. Oh well, still fun to think about the prom night no matter what the reason.

Esmessence said...

I'll give another hint - just fun because I know and remember! It's actually before they go outside and talk (also before Jacob...)sorry, hopefully I didn't give too much away!!

lioness said...

I think we have hit a guessing wall. You are just going to have to look it up, and enjoy ever minute of it. This isn't a formal quote guess, so the rules don't apply. But if you don't want to over do the prom scene you could wait a day or two when I put out the assignments for the next TA meeting. But I don't know if I could stand to wait, if I was you.

betchafeelbetter said...

I don't think I really remembered this line until my 3rd time through the book.

Anonymous said...

Jenn-

I am going to change my Twilight name from edward4ever to something else, but I want to make sure I don't choose a name you wanted to use. I am leaning toward the name Dazzled or something similar. Were you planning on using that name? Just let me know if so, and I have some other ideas too.
Thanks so much, and I hope you are feeling better!
~Marti

Trish said...

Thanks E, that actually sparks a slight memory, it's just before they go into the school and they're talking right? I still don't remember the exact conversation, just bits of it. Thanks BFB for trying to make me feel better, maybe by my 3rd time around I'll remember that line as well. I'm sure I won't be able to stand not looking, at that particular part at least, I'll hold off on the whole prom scene so we can read it together. Thanks!

betchafeelbetter said...

Hint: crepe paper & balloons

Trish said...

Ok, so I totally get all these hints, but it's no good when I just can't remember exactly the conversation that lead to the line. Oh well, so I went ahead and looked. Of course I couldn't stand not to! And now it's all very clear, goodness! I do love that part, and it was fun to read over again. I look forward to reading the whole scene completely soon enough.

lioness said...

Good for you. That assignment will be out soon.

So I have one more name suggestion. I found it on another website.

This is sort of Esme reminiscent for you Jenn.
Covenmother or Covenmama!

Come back Jenn, we miss you and really want to find out your name.

lioness said...

Ooooh, I have a little surprise for everyone. Little, like no big deal, except that its Twilight so of course its kind of a big deal to me. I was going to try and wait a few days, but I think you might have to get it tomorrow.

Keep your eyes open.

Trish said...

Hey, still waiting on our surprise! Any Twilight related surprise is enough to keep me on the edge of my seat practically. Just kidding, but no, I really am looking forward to it.

As for Jenn, I talked to her today, she is finally feeling better as of today. She has been quite ill, and then with a strange reaction to some medication she was on added to it. But the worst thing being, she has no internet in her house! *screams*
How awful for her! In fact, the last time she posted was from our parent's house the other day. But she can at least look at the new stuff via her cell phone. She wanted me to say that she's narrowing the names down, and also to let you know Marti that you can go ahead and use 'dazzled' if you'd like. There are so many to choose from, and she's leaning toward another right now. But Jenn (like me) has a hard time making that final decision.
So there, a message from Jenn through me. And Jenn, I think I speak for many when I say we're all very sorry for the temporary loss of internet at your house...:(

Anonymous said...

Ok, so I have a serious identity problem... Anyway, I just officially changed my name from "edward4ever" to "dazzled". I hope it works!
~Marti

Trish said...

Awesome Marti, I mean dazzled! I love it. It'll definitely work, there's a handful of us that started with one name and switched to something else.

Anonymous said...

RWV- thanks for the name encouragement. It's pretty hard deciding what fits the best, since so many feelings are involved with these wonderful books and characters.
~Marti - aka "dazzled"
