Are you kidding me? Cutting in line at Comic-Con turns heated

In line at Comic-Con, girls were complaining that people at the front of the line were cutting. Read about the whole altercation HERE (including a video!)- here's a snippet:

Security told them that each person was allowed to hold three spaces in line and that that was a courtesy granted to them. "You are actually loitering," said one of the security guards. The girls countered by saying that if one person can hold three spots, then if one of those people came, then they could also hold three spots, and the line in front of them would increase exponentially.

The girls proceeded to say that it was also "creepy" that some of the women were so adamant about going to a panel to see a teenager (Taylor Lautner who plays Jacob -- apparently the moms were on Team Jacob).

All hail the Twilight naysayer

A fellow Examiner recently wrote this:

And if you're an adult and you're into this nonsense, we're looking at a bigger problem. Take, for instance, this site. If you're still here, lemme tell you what that link does. It transports you to a genuinely creepy place called "Twilight Moms." A place for moms who love "Twilight" just as much as their teenage daughters. One can't help but imagine this is some sort of desperate attempt at bonding by a group of middle-aged women who have lost the ability to communicate with the surly, moody, ever-fickle being they call a "teenage daughter." And if it's not, then the alternative is even more depressing: you're an adult who reads a series of vampire romance books marketed to teenage girls, written at their 9th grade reading level. Wow. For the woman who finds all those bodice-ripping romance novels too "Porn-y", there's always "Twilight".

Before you get too heated, read my rebuttal HERE. All in good fun!!

The Twilight Clue Contest Begins!!

In honor of Edward Cullen's birthday, Peace, Love Twilight is hosting a fantastic contest! Here's the overview- go check out her site for the in-depth deets:

Here's how Twilight Clue works:

*Bella Swan has been found dead. It is your job to figure out who killed her, where they did it, and what they used to kill her!*

There are 45 "clues" you will be given. There are 15 Twilight characters as suspect perpetrators of the crime, or possible "murderers". There's 15 Twilight places as possible "scenes-of-the-crime" where the murderer may have committed the crime. There are also 15 Twilight-related possible "weapons" that the murderer may have used to kill Bella.

I will give you NINE clues each day for five days. Every clue will be hidden somewhere on one of the participating sites. (See below) However, out the 45 total clues, there will be 3 you will not be able to find on any site: one person, one place, and one weapon. These are your guilty three. On the fifth day (tomorrow, June 21 is Day One and Thursday, June 25 is Day Five) I will put up a form. You will submit the guilty person, scene-of-the-crime, and weapon.

Kicking off my page- my recent interview with Quileute patriarch, Gil Birmingham. Read a snippet of our interview- be sure to check out the whole interview here!

Because Billy Black is one of the few Quileutes who is not a werewolf, your role adds a different level of complexity. What did you add to your character in order to seamlessly connect with Jacob’s character as well as the rest of the werewolf clan?

Billy simply loves his son and his family (tribe). Billy is the wise tribal leader, who, because he isn’t a werewolf, understands the dangers and complexities of the “tentative” peace between the Cullens and the Quileute tribe. He knows the dangers that the Cullens present to Bella and others. Billy is the glue that holds the tribe and its traditions together.

In what ways are you and Billy Black similar?

We’re both “down with the kids.” We both have a genuine compassion for the human condition. We both recharge our souls with Mother Nature, and we both keep it real.
