Me is on vacations, Shout outs and Ramblings..


*waves*
Imagine me now with sunglasses, a delicious cup of coffee and my cigarettes sitting outside in the sun with my beloved MacBook. That's exactly me right now while writing this.

*sighs*

Unfortunately this is only one week but I truly need this. But being in vacations doesn't mean I can't be online, in fact I would be so miserable without internet connection. I know other people switch off everything when being away from home, but I can't - I need this.

Anyway, I wanted to say Hi to you and shout out a few things.

First: As you may or may not have noticed I have a new badge on my sidebar. Yes I mean this one:

Photobucket


When you are a mobile lover just like me, meaning reading on your iPhone whenever you can (or other similar devices), then this button is just awesome for you. Because... *dramatic pause* it let's you easily read blogs on your mobile phone. Awesomeness!!!! Blogs, normally are not formatted to read mobile which is a pity if you ask me. Wordpress is much better for this, when reading a Wordpress blog it's immediately formatted also as a mobile version that makes is super easy to read posts. Blogger hasn't such a thing.

But! *again dramatic pause* we have TwilightCupcake who is also a sucker for mobile devices and figured out how to transform a Blogger Blog into a Mobile-Blogger blog.




Awesome hu?? Apart from that she also set up everything for me!!! OOoooooOOo all I had to do was a Badge for my blog and that's it! Honestly, she did that already two weeks ago and I'm such a bad friend that I never managed to write this freaking post here. I suck! Yes I do, because she did all the work ...

Ohhh annnnndddd she is such a super sweet person and I'm so happy I met her and I'm hoping that she's not too mad that it took me forever for this post. (read this girl? don't be mad, pleeeassse not! I'm super thankful you did all this for me!)

Ok, her dream is that manymany TwiBlogs will follow her example and set up a Mobile Blog so that we all can read the blogs on our iPhone while sitting in the train or waiting in a queue or sitting at the airport, or *cough* in class or ... you get the point!

Ok so Blogger people out there, visit Twilight Cupcake at
  • her TwiBlog, why? Because she's sweetness and awesome. The End!
  • at the Twi-Mobile Hombase, there you find all the information you need to set up a Mobile Blog for your Blogger Blog. She has a list of Blog's which have joined already and aFAQ site and everything. And you can always ask her!
Second topic I wanted to talk about (that goes along with the first topic... )

I told you already that I run this Bookblog with seven of my friends? The Bewitched Bookwormes? Yes? Ok , good! Because sweet TwilightCupcake also set up a mobile Blog for the Bookworms! You can find it on the left sidebar!


Photobucket


This Blog really won my heart.. *sniffles* Sometimes , spontaneous ideas are the best! Just like the Bookworms blog. Beginning of the year I felt this urge to talk more about the books I'm reading and asked my friends (who are crazy about books as much as I am) if they want to join my little project... The rest is history.

I have never ever imagined that this blog will get so many readers so fast. We are at 94 at this moment which warms my heart.

Oh and do you remember end of last year what I did when my lovely Vanquish baby here reached Follower number 100?? Yes I did a huge giveaway to celebrate this... That's all I'm saying now... *winks* *smiles* *winks again* (ok stop it, the people get it.. *rolls eyes*)

You...uhm... can join us.. if you want.. that ..would be.. yes.. LOVELY.. and such and I would be .. thankful and ... such.. Uhmm .. yes.. you can click below to .... join us?


Bewitched Bookworms


Third: I wanted to remind you of my collection of Twilight stories. Noo! I'm not talking about FanFiction, I'm talking about Your very own Twilight Story!!
I will feature every week some TwiStories from you! It is soo much fun reading your stories and thinking back about how it all begun and how we found each other in the end... Cheeesy happily ever after...




So my first round was posted last Saturday and with cuties, fragiles and FireCrotch's story.

Right now, I have some emails with stories for the next post, which will be posted Next Saturday. So this will be a Saturday feature on my blog, only interrupted by vacations (like right now), earthquakes (not very likely in Germany), things-the-author-of-this-blog-cannot-foresee-at-the-moment or the simply lack of stories.
The last point you, my dear readers - followers -lurkers can prevent by simply mailing me your Story!!

Gosh, my battery is running low so I have to get to the end.... it's about time, otherwise I would go on rambling and bore you to death...

With that I close now this very long rambling post, get my Kindle lay back in the sun and read!

Obsession

What a title for this post, hu?
But it fit's, wait read on and see..

This weekend I did something incredible ... uhm.. (let me find the right work)... stupid - crazy.. yes, I think cRazY fit's best. Hubs was out on Friday night, so I started watching something he'd never watch with me, he really doesn't like Fiction series of movies or stuff, so I'm on my own for this.

Do you know heroes? The TV-show? Well, I do! I've seen the first season some years ago and was hooked, like really hooked. I've also seen the second season, but then I lost track somehow. I think they showed the third season when I was busy with Twilight, so I missed it completely. Well, on Friday I thought with hubs being out, I could watch some episodes of the third season .... (some...*rolls eyes at myself*)

Ok, now starts the craziness: When I started with the first episode and then watched the second and the third, I was hooked again, and I mean really.stupid.crazy hooked.

I have seen the entire third season in one fucking weekend!!! I won't tell you how many episodes this freaking season has because this would be too... embarrassing. Just google it if you wanna know..

I stopped Friday night, woke up on Saturday made a coffee and went on where I stopped. I watched the whole day - drinking coffee, just interrupted by going to the toilet from all the coffee and having a smoke outside, but then I went on. I stopped for cooking and spending the evening with hubs (no heroes) and Sunday morning the same went on.

I simply couldn't stop!! Whenever I finished one episode I wanted to know how it's going on. I finished the season by Sunday afternoon and immediately looked out for season 4. It was just available in english, but this couldn't stop me! So I also watched the first 4 episodes from season 4.
Apart from the series itself there is this Hottie and oH.My.gOOdness. I adore him he's really cute, holy sweetness - he's hot! This might be also a point why I got so hooked, a series without a hot guy that could be admired would be... well boring...



Now that I admit this CrAZineSs I feel better, a bit, a tiny little bit. But I can't avoid reflecting that this is absolutely insane. Definitely insane. Moreover, this isn't the first time I did something like this - something which (when looking closer) looks like an obsession!



I think with Twilight it was worst. I spend all my freaking free time with Twilight, the books, the audiobooks - when I finished the series for the first time I started all over again. I think some of you are totally there with me, some of you did the same, right? (Please don't let me alone here) Then I got the DVD and I watched this movie like 100 times.

Twilight is one thing, like I said and hope I'm not alone here, but then there is True Blood and the Vampire Diaries and ... and!!.. AND.... and...

With True Blood I did the same, hubs was out and I watched the whole season in one weekend. The second season I followed each week on TV but then.. I watched both seasons all over again - like there was nothing else, just one.episode.after.the.other. Yep, crazy... insane... screwy..

Oh and the Vampire Diaries - you get the point here - I did the same. Maybe not as obsessed as with Twilight and True Blood. But still..

Well, and then there is the time when I read a book I really love, when starting it, I just.can't.fucking.stop! Happened a few times, take for example the Percy Jackson books. I started with one book and (thank god to my Kindle: click, buy and get it immediately) I finished one and started with the next one.

Beautiful Creatures is just one more example of this. I mean just look at my previous post, they were all more or less about this book. *heavy sigh* This book, finished in one day! Yep, one day!

When talking about books, I also need to mention Fanfics. Yes you guess right, also here my obsessive disorder takes over. Know Wide Awake? Well, this is a HuGe ( and I mean it!) fanfic and I read it in one weekend! but here I know, that there is at least one more that did the same and funnily during the same weekend! (yes fragile, I mean YOU)

I mean, this level of obsession differs from time to time. One day it's Twilight, the other day it's (let's take the latest example) heroes and it feels like being drawn into a world where I don't want to get out, like being in trance.



I would be nice that I had this obssesion about serious things like, writing my damn fucking thesis, doing sports or loosing weight - some stuff which really have a value in the end, but no... didn't happen yet...

Ok girls, please don't tell me I'm alone with this insanity.
Did you do something similar - ever?
I know some of you have kids which might be a problem
with watching an entire season in one weekend,
but did you do something similar
where you felt a bit awkward when reflecting it?

Or am I alone and need seriously help?

Randomness - Beautiful Creatures and spreading some Love

Lately it seems that either I post a giveaway or I tell you about something I wrote or did for other blogs... Well, I promise to get better and actually write a real post! Not that this ain't one, but.. uhm... you get the point.

Somehow I have been busy with creating the platform for our Bewitched Bookworms Blog, which seriously was a hell of a lot of work. I wanted to create a real bewitched layout, matching our blog title so I guess I overdid a bit - but I'm so in love with this layout. Don't know what I'm talking about? Oh, then pretty please check out my BookBlog project with my lovely friends!

Ok this was one excuse, the next one you can see on fragile little humans blog. She is running with her friend Greta a Beautiful Creatures Book discussion and guess what, she really asked me to take over one part of the discussion. Me?!?! YEES, me! Damn it, I was thrilled! Nobody ever asked me to not just comment of a discussion but also really write a recap!

Me, The German, who reads books in a language that is not my mother language and is definitely not a Grammar expert! (But, I'm also that bad in German Grammar... )

Anyhoodle, this week it's my turn to discuss four chapters of the book and ask the people some questions they might consider interesting enough to answer. So, if you read Beautiful Creatures (and if not, why haven't you started yet!?) then head over to fragile and read my tiny post.



If you find some truly eloquent sentences, well obviously they might not be from me. I asked my beloved friends The Lemon sisters : One Pushy Fox and Uhyesplease to take their precious time and correct my stuff and make sense out of my nonsense. I am extremely thankful and beyond happy they are my friends and corrected my odd stuff!

Love you girls, like a whole fucking much!


Oh and I have yet another thing to tell you guys, which you might find interesting and really really cool! We, the Bewitched Bookworms have another contest and you can win something really really , (did I say really?!) cool : A signed copy from Beautiful Creatures!!! Signed by the wonderful authors themselves. You can also follow those wonderful authors on Twitter:

The full of Randomness - I´m back post.

Mini-E and me are really back from vacation, although it could have been longer and having to work again really sucks, a lot !!! 
However, here I am *waves* and I´m happy to be fully back in bloggyland and Twitter. 

But before I´ll tell you about my holidays, here are a few things I need to say first:

1.) Cheers for my  55 Followers!!!! 


While I relaxed and the girls took over my blog (here and there), the 50th Follower  found my blog and now there are even more: 55! 
This.Is.So.Freaking.Awesome!!! 
I can´t tell how happy this makes me. Welcome all and thanks so much for following me and reading my stuff. When I started this blog I never - ever thought I would have so many cool, lovely, awesome and amazing followers. Really,  this makes my bloggy heart so fucking full of joy! You are all so wonderful. 

2.) Thanks sooo fucking much for the two guestposts!!! 

cutie and marie: I´m still so thankful you two took your precious time to write a post for me. It was just awesome, I so love this post full of beautiful Rob pics -SuitRob oh my loveliness - and your tit and tat craziness. I love you girls! Your are a wonderment! 


FireCrotch and Bitches: You girls are the best! I knew you would come up with a True Blood post, but this video you did was awesome!!! I even forced MrV to watch it but he was for some reason not as excited as me.. Thanks so much for doing this for me. You are amazing and I give you a big hug!  (Sorry for entering your bubble, FireCrotch; Bitches, you are Ok with a hug? ) 



Girls, if I can do something for you, ask me!  


3.) FanFiction updates

There have been a few updates during the two weeks and I still need to read them all. Here´s my „at-the-moment-(in-the-meantime-updated)-reading-list“: 

Breath Me (fragile little human)
Answering Bell (ilsuocantante)
The Office (tby789)

You know, they all yell at me „Read.Me.Now!!“. I love them all for different reasons and I always try to be a good reader give my review, so sorry for the delay. I´ll try to read and comment soon! 

4.) Blog Updates

There is no way I can catch up with everything I missed. I´m glad I had internet during my holidays so I could read at least some of the posts, but there are still plenty unread ones out there.  And I love reading this wonderful blogs and I love to comment. Anyway, now I´m back and also back to read and comment.

5.) Undercover fragilelittlehuman mission...



The last two days I was quite nervous since I was on a special Twilight-mission for my lovely fragile little human. Today, I managed!!! But it was tough. I can´t tell more since I´ll definitely do a post about it and I´ll not take away the fun. Anyway, all I can say is: you´ll find me brave and you will laugh about me (Betti did...), but that´s fine. So please be patient.... 

6.) short and random vacation impressions 



I´m a shopping addict - bought tons of clothes
I read like hell - read 6 True Blood books 
I ´m a coffee addict - love Starbucks and always buy a new mug
I´m an apple freak - Mac is my life now ;)
I´m devoted to my Mini-E - who posed for every stupid pic! 
... and I bought my first Chucks for 15 years  (this makes me feel so damn old...) 

So this were basically my vacations: quality time with MrV, shopping, sunbathing, swimming, reading, coffee, wine....  I´ll definitely show you some pics in a different post. 

But for now: 
End of randomness!!!!
