Summer, Taylor Swift, and Stories






I'll just go one at a time here. :D

<3 Summer/Stories <3
Fortunately, with this three month break from school I've had some head clearing time. Not only have I attended concerts (I'll get back to that) and actually got a hole-in-one in putt putt golf (this is absolutely epic for someone as uncoordinated as myself. haha). I've also gone and seen some fantastic movies--a few of which being the third Transformers (Epic) and the final Harry Potter. (which made me cry)

I've also had time to work on my story "Never Look Back" and just finally got around to posting the "explanation chapter" just now. (If you read that story you'll know what I'm talking about.) I was hoping to finish it this summer, but I'm not 100% sure how that will work out. I'll try though!!!! :D


<3 Taylor Swift <3
I was fortunate enough to have bought tickets back at the beginning of the year to go to the Pittsburgh, PA stop in Taylor Swift's Speak Now 2011 tour on June 18, 2011. Let me begin by saying this young lady literally brought me to tears several times during her concert (and I want to be her best friend now) but she's also incredibly talented yet humble. To me, those are wonderful, beautiful, fantastic traits to have.

She played for two whole hours (jumping around and running the whole time.) I've never been to any concert quite like hers. Every song was like a movie scene.

If you EVER, EVER get the chance to see this girl--take it. You won't-CAN'T- be dissapointed.

I know I haven't blogged since, like, April. :(

But, I'm doubtful any of you are surprised. lol.

While I'm at it, I might as well give you a few FANFIC reccomendations.

Water For Elephants


Well, since my computer is dumb and it just kicked me out of this blogger thingy (TWICE), my entire (probably close to an 8 page report) post was erased.


FML.


Buttt, here's the gist of it:



Went and saw Robert Pattinson's "Water For Elephants" this weekend and I was absolutely blown away by the magical feel and wonderful acting in this movie. Critics can say what they want, but our boy held his own next to Reese and Christoph. It is a definite MUST-SEE!!! Go support our Robby!



Not to mention, that cute-ass picture of Robsten after the WFE premiere. Does anyone else think it's absolutely adorable Kristen came out to support her man??!! <3



Now, about my stories, "Never Look Back" is lacking a little in the review department so I'm going to wait a little while until I get a few more reviews to post chapter 11 (which I haven't even started! YIKES!)



But, it seems life keeps getting in the way. With two projects due directly after Easter break I really have no time to catch up on my writing during this time off. It sucks, BAD, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles.



To those of you who still read my stories, thank you. You are absolute saints. :D



Happy Easter to everyone and I'll talk to you next time.

Never Look Back Chapter 5



Well, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! It's been quite a while since my last post, but I'm not going to mention that considering I'm starting to sound like a broken record. haha


Never Look Back Chapter 5 is up and posted on Fanfiction, as well as the R/K one-shot "Dive For Dreams" that used to be only exclusive to Quizilla.


While I'm here I might as well tell you what's been going on since I've blogged last. I've been very busy with schoolwork lately, as I had anticipated, so Never Look Back was on a slight hold for a little while there. It may continue to have breaks in between, I haven't had a chance to really write anymore of it lately. I WILL finish this story though, that I can promise.


On a lighter note, I've watched some movies lately that I highly recommend you put on your "to watch" list. First, "Salt" with Angelina Jolie. I LOVE that movie. Easy A was hysterical, Despicable Me is probably the cutest kids movie ever, and The Social Network is extremely interesting--especially if you have a facebook account.


My friend Nichole also now has an account on FF where she's posting her story "Heroes Never Die" I highly suggest you read it. It's very good. Her name is DaniellaLutz, and she's also on quizilla.


Also, HOW ABOUT THAT BREAKING DAWN, PIC, HUH??? WOW. That movie's gonna be H.O.T!


Well, that's it for now, I suppose. Enjoy Never Look Back, guys.


Talk to you later.

Merry Christmas All!!!



Alright, so it's my very first day of Christmas break and I'm already wondering what i'm going to do with the next few weeks...


As you can probably tell by this, I have some news to share will all of you.


The third and fourth chapters of "Never Look Back" have been posted on fanfiction for those of you interested. Which, I hope you are. It's really starting to flow.


Also, I finally got my copy of "Last Sacrifice" by Richelle Mead and it was a must-read for all of you Vampire Academy fans. I REALLY loved it. If you haven't read that series yes, it is AMAZING! You're missing out, trust me.


This picture, I thought, was appropriate for this time of year and also friggin adorable (look at Kristen's hand over Rob's..squueee!) It was from 2009 I believe. I like to call it "Pattinson Family 2009" :D


I'd also like to say that there may be a little break between chapter 4 and 5 of Never Look Back. I'm switching a few classes--to harder ones, no less, and i'm going to have to concentrate very hard if I want to keep caught up. No worries, though, I'll probably need to vent and end up writing more anyways. haha


I hope you all have an amazing and safe holiday season filled with loved ones! (I think we all know our little Robsten will! haha)


Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year,

RachaelP

Never Look Back Chapter 2




Thought i'd inform y'all that chapter two of Never Look Back is up (just a little over a week later than chapter 1, i might add) I'm very proud if you can't tell. :D





It's on fanfiction as I haven't posted anything on Quizilla yet. (i'm waiting for the story to pick up a little momentum)






I'm on Thanksgiving break at the moment and am excited as heck b/c a teaser for Richelle Mead's "Last Sacrifice" is coming out tomorrow. If you haven't read the Vampire Academy series I suggest you do so. They're very good.






Happy late Thanksgiving, also. Hope you all got so stuffed with great food that you passed out on the couch (or, if you're like me, you PRETENDED to pass out to get away from overbearing family members. hhehehe.) Oh, how I love the holidays. :D






Also, the image above is an official picture from Breaking Dawn tweeted by the director and the other is just Robsten being adorable again.






If any of you have DeviantArt profiles, I just got one today so add me as a friend! I'm GarnetCitrine.






Well, that's all for now, folks.






I'll hopefully be updating again very soon.




Love,




Rachael

Never Look Back (Like We Never Loved At All)




How about Robsten Rio-style??






I've just about had heart attacks these past few days.






THEY ARE CUUUUTE!






Anyhow, I think it was my last post where I mentioned that "Like We Never Loved At All" had to be taken down b/c it was similar to another story line, and I promised i'd repost by Christmas.






Well, ladies and gents, it's before Thanksgiving and i've made a few revisions and such and it's back up as of today with the new name: Never Look Back.






I'm only posting it to Fanfiction right now but once I get a few reviews and know that you all will like it, i'll begin posting elsewhere. :D






Until next time...






and who knows? Maybe i'll give ya'll a little something for Thanksgiving....






hehe

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!


Yes, my good, faithful readers, I have risen from the dead once again.
Pun intended...Alright, that was pitiful. :D
I have a new fanfic posted on both quizilla and fanfiction for Halloween 2010 so check it out!
It's short but cute if you like how goofy "Big Bro" Kellan is. ;D
If you guys haven't checked out some of the clips for Kristen's new movie "Welcome to the Rileys" it's a must-do.
There's no doubt in my mind our girl gave an oscar-worthy performance.
Also, check out "Headmaster Holiday" on YouTube featuring Rob.
Very funny!
There has also been some recent confusion about why i've removed "Like We Never Loved At All" from fanfiction.
No worries, guys, I've just taken it down to add a few revisions because it has come to my attention that the story is pretty similar to another author's.
Dont cry now, though, i've taken out some things and added others and it should be back up by Christmas...
Well, that's all I got for today, folks.
HAVE A VERY HAPPY HALLOWEEN. And as I told my fanfiction crew, I'd keep a few sprouts of garlic hand just in case Justin Bieber comes to your door...
There's something sketchy about that kid I swear...
XD
