Chapter 19. Spoons!

The Spoon Debacle

I thought I better explain this a bit better.

A bunch of my friends recently went to a housewarming of 'Person A', we shall call him. Person A is a serial practical joke person. Everytime he goes to someone else's house there is some kind of prank played. I can't remember specific ones at the moment but it has been happening for a couple of years now.

Finally, my friends saw the opportunity to get back at him when he bought a house of his own a few months ago. So we waited until he announced his housewarming and started planning a payback.

Among other things, they hid all of the forks in the house. This is what Nate did too but with spoons. Now you might want to remember what I'm about to say, because I'm pretty sure it's going to happen throughout the story; the forks were hidden all over the house in random places. Ie. On top of the washing machine, in crevices of the couch, etc.

So keep an eye out, see if you can spot the spoons/forks!
Hehehe.

This is only the first of many things that Nate (and Emmett) are going to get into.
Watch out!

Chapter 19. The Dress

I was shopping for a dress for me when I found this. I want to go buy it but it's bloody expensive and oh so so so hot! Angel is peer pressuring me to spoil myself and go get it, really tempted.




These pics are not the best 'cos while I was taking them a employee of the store came and told me off for taking the photo's, so I took one more and walked out!


You can just see the type of material used, they had a yellow and pink/peach one, that you can just see in the photos. But it was the bottom that caught my eye, it's sort of pinned up so it has flowing layers to the ground.


Still debating on whether to go put it on layby. I don't know how long that flimsy material will last around my house....

Chapter 19. Bella's Bikini

Oh my God, this is soooo hot!
I wish I had a pair... my rack would never look good in that though...
*sighs*

Chapter 17. Alice's Kitchen Table

Isn't it gorgeous?
I wouldnt want to defile it either.
Alice would not be happy!

Chapter 16. The Presidents Of The USA

Surely you have heard of them?
See the Below Post for the T-shirt Bella was wearing.
This is their Official Website; they occasionally post new songs on there that you are free to download and update their blogs, shop, etc.

Here is one of their video clips:



Dune Buggy

They also do fantastic songs like Peaches, Some Postman and the one everyone knows Video Killed The Radio Star.

The story Bella told was also semi-true. I did go see them with my Ex, we did love them all the way through high school and we did meet them. I got a hug from Chris Ballew but we didn't talk unfortunately, I wish we had.

I still love them!

Chapter 14. The Garden



This is a real place as well, it's called Araluen Botanical Gardens and it's a ten minute drive from my house. They do carols by candelight and small festivals like the Chili Fest. They also do a Spring in the Valley which is a celebration of the start of spring, there's lots of wine involved as well!


They are mainly known for the many varieties of Tulips.

Chapter 14. The Village



I absolutely love this place!

It's called the Elizabethan Village; there is an actual villaged that you can walk through, the Tavern, the Bed 'N' Breakfast and a brewery. They have the best beer ever! and there is only two spots in the state that sell it.

It's a five minute drive from my house, in the hills. I will take a couple of pictures of the courtyard next time I'm there. It really is picturesque.

Chapter 11. Bella's Outfit

I have a copy of this shirt, I got it at a Presidents of the USA show a couple of years ago. Unfortunately there are only a few places I dare to wear it to. I love it though and I'm pretty sure that it would make Bella's wardrobe.



I like it!

Chapter 9. The Princess Bride

Ok, so if you haven't seen this movie, you must go out to your local video store and hire it now! It's a 1987 classic and I love, love, love it!

The below scene is what I was talking about at the beginning of Chapter 9.

Enjoy!

Chapter 8. Smoking

Yes, I know, smoking is a bad habit.
Blah, blah, blah; as Bella says.
She's quit, reformed, stressed, whatever!
Don't have a cow man!

Chapt 8. Bella's Hoody

Well, I dont know about you but I love a hoody when it gets cold. The one below is my favourite. It's giant and comfortable and it almost reaches my knees! The label is based on a Heineken label (left) but is specialised by Bliss n Eso, a major Oz Hip Hop group.

If you can zoom in and read the writing, its pretty funny. I love it!

Note From GeeOh!

Just a note from me....

I don't know what's with the topless men pictured below. I wasn't aiming for that honest!

It's damn good though isn't it?

Notice the box I added to the left...down further and you'll see it. (and that doesn't sound at all seedy) They are just some fics that I really enjoyed. The summaries are taken straight from the authors' pages which are also linked.

No copywrite intended, just wanted to spread the love!

-Gee

Chapter 7. Part 2

Cam Gigandet





Doesn't he make the best James?

So this is how I imagined Seth.
Hot, blonde Aussie.

Mmmm, can I has one?
*dribbles*

Chapter 7. Conversation With Seth

Yes the conversation is in French. No, I don't speak French but there is this fantastic webpage called FreeTranslation.com which will translate any number of languages. I use it quite a lot and as far as I know it is accurate.

If you think anything is wrong please let me know and I would be happy to correct it.


This is the translation according to FreeTranslation.com:

Seth : Hey there pretty lady, how are you tonight?

Bella: I am very well thank you kind sir.

Chapter 6. Shiny Cars

Edward's Aston Marton!


Isn't it pretty? Probably better with a silver stripe and mirrors, keep to Edward's color pattern. Still, it's a pretty awesome car!

Watch the Video from BBC's TopGear.com if you want to see the Vanquish perform against a Ferrari 575




Alice and Jasper's Corvette Z06
'Ron Fellows Edition'




There are only 399 Z06 Ron Fellows in the world and 33 of them are in Europe. The engine is a 7.0 litres 512 hp, 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph. It's one of the fastest Corvette's ever made!


Ferrari Testarossa


Not particularly great compared to the Aston Martin or the Corvette but I really like it's body!

Chapter 5. Squashed Fairies


Bella mentions buying Alice a squashed fairy book for Christmas. I'm sure you've all seen one of these books, they are fabulous! If not, there is a picture above of one of them and a link below to Amazon where you can look through a few pages of any of these fantastic books or purchase.

Amazon Link!

Chapter 5. Bella Barbie


Bella's Outfit




This isn't quite how I pictured it but it's pretty darn close. My friend has the outfit how I imagined, next time I see it on her I'll snap a picture.

Chapter 4. And a New Box!


Bella's Box

LOL

Chapter 4. Confrontation

Golden Gloves
Boxing





I mentioned that Edward was once a boxing champion. He actually won the Golden Glove Championship when he was 16. This information will probably be revealed a little later. His boxing background and status as a Golden Glove Champion is also part of the reason he doesn't like a woman to be hit, as well as the usual reasons. ie. It's wrong damnit!



Anyway, there is some background on the Golden Gloves here at the official site. I also found Wikipedia helpful if you wanted to know more. My friend here had something similar, Australia's version of Golden Gloves. He was never allowed to enter into a fight because he is deemed a lethal weapon in himself. Pretty much meaning he's trained to kill with his bare hands. If he enters into a fight on the street he can be arrested and jailed.



That's all I know on the subject but I always found it interesting.

Chapter 3. Disturbed!

Disturbed - Down With The Sickness


This is the music video for Disturbed - Down with the Sickness. Edward was listening to this while running.

There is a bit in the middle that had been cut out due to it's extreme language.
Damnit, I love that bit, it's the bit that should be screamed out.
