my own personal tribute

Again, I apologize for the delay in a post but the Prodigal Son has returned.

Or in my case, the busy working/party planning girl has returned.

A lot has gone on in the past week since I last posted.

I've been working a lot. When I wasn't working; I was party planning.

My dad turned 65! Hence the party planning.

My real life Edward Cullen came up to visit for the weekend which resulted in all kinds of distractions.

And Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Billy Mays all died, like, simultaneously.

While I wasn't exactly devasted or even really affected by the loss of Ed McMahon or Billy Mays - whom I'd never really heard of but for some reason my boyfriend is mourning as if it was an actual family friend - I was saddened to hear Farrah had left us for the real angels and absolutely devastated to hear that Michael Jackson had passed.

Though many of you who read this know me in the real world; some of you don't. Which also means, you don't know that I actually had the amazing experience of serving Michael Jackson and his two youngest children when I worked in Las Vegas last summer - on his 5oth and now last, birthday.

Without getting into a long, neverending tribute, I only want to say this: When I heard that he died, I no longer cared about the wrongs he's done in the past. I realized I could no longer ever jokingly call him Whacko Jacko.

I could only think of the joy he brought me as a young child in the 80's.

The tremendous amount of time I spent choreographing dances to his popular tunes.

The way I knew every lyric to 'Dirty Diana' and sang them with conviction; at the age of 8 without a clue what the song was actually about. It was totally about a hooker.

The way I still get goosebumps when I hear the Free Willy theme song 'Will you be There'.

And most importantly, I thought about his wonderful two little children who charmed my heart in the few minutes I got to spend with them. They didn't see him as 'Wacko Jacko' or as any other character the media like to portray him as. They saw him as Dad. They excitedly announced ' Happy Birthday Daddy' when we set the cake down for Michael. They snuggled him as any young child would their father. It is those children and the memories of my own childhood that are the reasons this news shook me.

It's never easy to swallow the news that a celebrity has passed. Personally, I always feel like celebrities are invicible and indestructable. I only wish that were the case.

So I leave you with this...

This photo was taken in the restaurant
I worked at in Las Vegas last summer.
It was his 50th Birthday Celebration.
His last birthday.
The night I met him.
A night I will always hold dearly to my heart.
Thanks for the great childhood memories MJ.
May you rest in peace

Update

I have not disapeared off the face of the earth.

I'm alive and well - and busy.

Last week was non-stop and barely spent in the city therefore no internet.

I promise to have a new EXCITING blog post in the next 24 hrs.

Thanks for understanding!

Crystal

I totally just blogged TWICE in one day

Umm I realize I already blogged today.

But something blog worthy totally appeared.

Actually, TWO blog worthy things happened today but incase tomorrow fails, I will have something to blog about tomorrow, so I'm just showing you ONE.

I won't allow you to get greedy.

So what is totally blog worthy?

THIS
THIS THIS
THIS THIS THIS

*flails*
this will be the new cover of all paperback New Moon copies
do I hate that Jacob has his arms around Bella?
Yes.
do I think Bella looks gorgeous?
Yes.
do I wish the moon I see outside had RPatz's face?
YES.

And now, thx to rain, I am off to see The Hangover again. And you know, to sob over the Vegas and how much I miss it.

rain rain go away

So its been a really slow week as far as my usual blogging topics go.

No really hot RPatz pics have surfaced. KStew is still sporting the ugly mullet.

However, I do have a few things to comment on.

(1)

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
seriously psyched
I think this movie looks amazing
and I've only seen pictures!

(2)

Jon + Eight minus Kate
sorry to all you Kate lovers.
Its rhymes better that way.
I sway in no direction for preference.

I realize the world feels really sad about this.
If you've been living under a rock.
Jon + Kate = filing for divorce
But really didn't you see this coming?
I don't even watch the show and I saw this coming.

Normal couples WOULD probably do therapy.
Normal couples TRY to make it work.

Jon & Kate are anything but normal couples.
They bit the forbidden reality tv fruit.
They became celebrities.
Celebrities 9 out of 10 times
get DIVORCED.
It sucks but thats life in the spotlight.

(3)

If you've been living under a rock,
And you haven't seen this movie,
I suggest you do it ASAP.

It's freakin hallarious.
I'm going for the 2nd time tonight hopefully.
I say hopefully, cause its if it rains.
Which means no work.
Cause no one sits on a rainy patio in Moncton.

breathless

After 2.5 days of much needed rest and relaxation + 0.5 day working, I have returned.

TO THIS:

*flails*
*drools*
*flails again*

Seriously.
I realize we're all CRAZY EXCITED for New Moon.
I think my level of excitement for 'Remember Me'
has significantly just shot up to CRAZY EXCITED as well!

WHY?
Because seriously look how hot these photos are.
Plus, Emile de Ravin is totally beautiful.
(does not currently have a black mullet)
So naturally I think seeing pictures of her mackin it
with Rob is totally swoonworthy.

Not to mention.
How nice is it to see Rob in SHORTS?
I don't even care that his wrist looks awkward in this shot.
I love love *LOVE* him.
I also totally cannot wait for this movie.
AND a trailer release.
kthxbye.

Leaving the City

its that time of year again.

SUMMER.

which means I spend half my time in the city and half my time on the ocean.

sadly, the ocean doesn't have wireless. not even highspeed. we do have dial-up but seriously, watching paint dry is funner.

THEREFORE, when I am residing at our summer residence on the beach I will not be posting (unless miraculously the dial up has significantly improved).

I'm headin out for 2.5days so the blog will be a little outdated until Sunday.

Of course I love all of my followers so I'm not going to leave you high and dry!


Since its been a slow week in pictures (except for more Kstew black mullet photos) I have only two images to offer.

Both are ridiculously SEXY men.

Bruno
seriously.
Can I party with you?
For realz?
As Bruno, not Sasha Baron Cohen.
I'm sure you're just as fun as SBC
but you give me major LOlZ as Bruno dude.
*this is actually a real mag cover too, just so you know*

Ummm hello?
Who made People's hottest bachelors?
You did.
Totally not a shocker cause you're freakin gorgeous.
Also I really like that shirt on you.
I hope you stole it from this photo shoot.
It would look good with those new jeans your sportin!
Ki'mdonethxbye

its 3:33am

3:33 am

in some twisted, sick horror movie wasn't 3:33am, like, bad?

I totally just got in from work. I have a fantastic story about that.

Guy: Ok, I want three of whatever those girls are drinking (points to three hot girls at the table he has just randomly sat down at)
Me: Ok
Guy: And 20 shots of Jaggermeister.
Me: - speechless & trying not to laugh in his face -
Guy: -hands me his debit card- here is my card, my account is Checkings, and my pin is 1-2-3-4. Put 40 bucks on there for yourself.
Me: Ummm, are you serious?
Guy: Uh, yah? Now, please?
Me: - runs along with the biggest grin of life-

This situation repeated itself SEVERAL times before the night was over.

Honestly, best night of work ever.

It's seriously the best to get paid to look good and have fun WHILE making money.

Someone else who knows a thing or two about that?

Rob Pattinson
*flails*
Remind me again why I'm going to Boston?
And not NYC to, ya know, stalk you?

*droools*
could you be any hotter?

Someone told me tonight that I look like this actress.
Jane Krakawski from The Office.

They were clearly drunk.
I think.

Just a few lovely things....

Sorry for the lack of postage - as I mentioned my human non-action figure boyfriend was in town.

It was lovely.

Now back to posting almost every day.

TRUE BLOOD
SEASON TWO
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT.

Seriously, I used to hate this guy.
Like not him as a real person.
Just him as Eric.
Then I had a dream about him.
We totally hooked up.
Then I totally loved him.
True story.

RPatz.
Looks like you got some new jeans.
I love them.
Never take them off.
Except - you know, to wash them.

KStew
You take my breath away in this picture.
Just so you know.

In this picture?
Not so much.
I realize its for your role.
I give you props for actually cutting your hair.
I just miss Bella hair :(

Baby Spock does NOT approve.

Potential Lack of Blogging Warning

Sometimes I like to think of myself as having two wonderful men in my life....


This one:


























And This one:


















However BOTH don't conveniently fit inside my pocket as easily.






















Human Boyfriend would
struggle to fit even half
of his foot in this pocket.


So naturally, my lovely human boyfriend can't be with me every waking minute of every single day like Pocket Edward is fortunate enough to be. Plus, he sort of has a job and makes money (something I really wish Pocket Edward would look into so he can start contributing) and oh yeah, he lives 2.5 hrs away.

Well he's visiting for the next couple of days so I may be lacking in blog posts.

I apologize.

BUT there is a hockey game on Friday night at 9pm that I will be forced to observe so there's a very good chance I will post again then and who knows, Pocket Edward might get on here and do his own thing for once.

Just something I've noticed....

So this is me.

Don't mind the crapiness that is me in this picture. I literally got out of shower and threw my Hollister cap on.

That's not my concern.

My concern is how I'm sporting my teeshirt.

Cause last time I checked I thought I was doing it RIGHT.



Then I saw this.....


And then these.....




And then yesterday THIS.


Apparently I was doing it wrong.

And now I'm doing it RIGHT.

* as much as I love Kstew. I don't think I will be sportin this style until my stomach is far more toned. But KStew I love you and you should keep doing it cause I think you're awesome. Kthxbye.

I love love love my friends

Can I just say that I have the most fantastic friends a girl could ever ask for?

In particular, one of the most fantastic best guy friends a girl could ever ask for?

Not only did he score me my actual copy of Twilight on blu-ray a week before it was even released in stores...

But he got me................

THIS!!!!!!!!!

*flails*

Incase you are confused
THIS is the latest New Moon poster to be released.
THAT is my bedroom wall.
THAT is my Pocket Edward.
THIS is why I have one of the most wonderful best guy friends.
Like EVER.

Even more exciting is the fact that its a theatre release poster NOT something you can buy in stores. In fact, when you look at the back side, its a mirror image which only further demonstrates its authenticity.
How much do I love love love my life and my bestest friends?

I should also add that one of the girls at work last night who I love (and who is also sort of dating Pocket Edward) gave me her Life&Style with a whole Rob & KStew expose inside. As well as tons of hot Italy half-naked Rob pics that are totally going to be stuck on my mirror now like only a thirteen year old fan girl would do.


NEXT

Seriously Rob.
Are you really 23?
Or are you just kidding us?
Cause really you look like a hot hot gorgeous MAN
in this picture.
Just sayin.

ps: you're freaking gorgeous and I love you
*drools*

NEXT

The beautiful Ashley Green in Berlin

Seriously can we be best friends?
Get back to me about that?
Kthx

So so pretty.
I totally have a major girly crush on you.
Just so you know.

Seriously, Fall IS the new Summer

As if I'm not already living in serious despair over the fact that November is like FOREVER away.

I had to see THIS extended trailer for the CW's Vampire Diaries.

*flails*



Seriously, do yourself a favor and read these books!

Announcing a Post that does NOT feature anything Twilight-related

Surprised?


So was I.

But I DO love things OTHER than Twilight.


First off.

RIP David Carridine
this totally saddened me to hear this when I woke up today.
I mean, he was the Bill in Kill Bill
:*(

Second

this creeps me out.
seriously.
I have a hard time looking at this cause its crazy.
L-R
Robert Downey Jr. Javier Bardem Jeffrey Dean Morgan
someone has some explaining to do

Third

Carter from Gossip Girl
you're pretty much the only OTHER person
I was ok with Blair hooking up with.
Cause you're pretty smokin' hot.

Fourth

I totally love Hayden Christensen
I also totally love Rachel Bilson
Which is why I love these pics of them in France

They actually look, normal?

so so so cute
matching Lacoste shirts
may I have one?

Hayden you should pop the collar more often.
Seriously.
I'm like picturing your hand grazing my back like that.
*drools*

Fifth

I may hate Tom Cruise.
Not even a big fan of Katie Holmes cause
well, she bangs Tom Cruise
BUT
I love love love Suri
And as someone on ohnotheydidnt pointed out.
I love that Katie thinks this mess is cute.
Kate Gosselin would be freaking the hell out.

Sixth

Things going on in this picture:
-Zac Efron on set of Entourage
-Jeremy Piven looking jacked.
-Zac Efron looking muy caliente in aviators
-Me wishing I was that kid.

That is all!

See I can do a non-twilight related post after all.

However just for good measure I give you THIS.

Because what Twihard doesn't want to see this?
Like every day.
A thousand times a day.
Exactly.

And I remember the day you left for Santa Monica

So if you know me, you know how much I love the Vegas.

I love it - like ALOT.

Which really explains why I moved there on a complete whim and was devastated to have to come back when my work visa ran out.

BUT I also absolutely love the California.

More specifically, I lovvvveeee the Santa Monica.

Apparently, so do photo shoot people who want to film KStew.

Seriously, how do I get MY hair to do that.
Honestly.
That's bed head JBF hair to the best.
if you don't know what JBF stands for I'll give you a hint
just...been.... ravaged?

I don't care what anyone says.
She is gorgeous here.
Anddd I'm super jealous.

So here's me being all 'I love the Santa Monica'
Chillin on the very same beach those previous photos were shot.

This is me realizing that the building behind them is...
Bubba Gumps.
You see that window I'm putting to?
Yup, that one!
Ok wait for it!

SAME WINDOW.
Isn't that mind-blowing?
Well not really.
But I'd be lying if I said I didn't squee when I saw this.
Think of the squees had THAT (see above) been my view
from the window that night.
*frowns*

LASTLY, three New Moon pics were revealed yesterday. Since a lot of you love the Twilight, I obviously couldn't deny you of them.

Two Words:
Heart Wrenching

Four Words from Dr. Cullen:
"Jasper You're So Grounded"

Two Words:
Inappropriate Thoughts
*you are 17 you are 17 you are 17*

It's Tuesday - thats all I can come up with

It's 1pm on Tuesday.

I should still be sleeping seeing as I went to bed at 4am last night on account of the fact I was workin my usual Margarita Monday.

But I'm not still sleeping cause I have to be back at work at 3pm. Yuck.

Of course, I had to update because I love you guys too much to disappoint you.

This photo was taken backstage at the MTV Movie Awards.
Which I'm still hyperventilating over.
Just so you know.
Could these men's jawlines be any sexier?
I seriously don't think so.

Apparently Rob and KStew are determining
IF
they could swap sneakers some time.

I wanted to rant about this other night.
But on account of the awesomeness of the awards show.
I forgot :(
BUT.
What in the hell was up with them just casually mentioning,
WHILE going to commercial,
That Heath Ledger won for Best Villain?
Come on now...
I realize maybe you didn't want to make a big deal...
But you could have at least been RESPECTFUL?

Lastly, MYSTERY SOLVED.
Eminem was in on this.
He was mic'd.
It was rehearsed.
Now its just not funny for me anymore.

Rob left La La land yesterday.
After shacking up with KStew at The Charlie Hotel.
WHERE they returned too after a cozy dinner for TWO
after the movie awards.
I would post their walk of shame photos.
But seriously.
No ones walk of shame photos should be seen.

I will give you this.
This was an hour after the said walk of shame.
When Rob flew out of LAX.

He even makes airport security processes look
HOT.
*flails*
