Nine Good Reasons and More Edward-isms July 27, 2008
Posted by Jess in books, lists, randomness.trackback
Guess who visited creativewritingprompts.com today? Me. Yeah, me. It’s just that they have great list ideas, and I love making lists. I love numbering things. It’s an obsession. Anyway…. Before I made a list of seven good reasons to turn down a marriage proposal. Now I shall make a list of nine good reasons to break off a wedding. This should be interesting…
1. If you can’t fit into your wedding gown. (This will be explained below.)
2. If in an act of preventing pre-wedding jitters you ate the cake. (This is why you can’t fit into the dress.)
3. If you don’t know the guy waiting for you at the end of the aisle. AKA, your future hubby. (Marriages have a better chance of lasting if the two people getting married actually know each other.)
4. If your fiancé forbids you to write for some reason beyond comprehension. (Why did you date this guy in the first place?)
5. If your intended says no book buying. (Stupid miser.)
6. If you break your leg. (Well, you don’t want to roll down the aisle do you? Yeah, didn’t think so.)
7. If you lose your voice. (Wouldn’t you prefer saying “I do” as compared to having to sign it to your husband then to the audience?)
8. If your future husband is a Potterhead. (Can you imagine marrying one of those? No offense to any Potterheads reading this. Ya’ll are lovely people.)
9. If your fiancé wants to live in, say, Alaska, and you want to live down south. (This may not be a problem though. You’d just have to live very far apart.)

Edward: “You look so guilty-like you’ve committed a crime.”
Haha. Ah, yes. You do know what I’m about to do, right? If you don’t, you’re probably not one of my usual readers.
So…who is Edward talking to? I’m sure you’re dying to know, so I will ease your anxiety and give you some possibilities.
1. I think Edward may have said this when he caught several LRRH-ers outside his home. Why? Well, I believe they were holding toilet paper rolls, and there was toilet paper strung in several of the trees.
2. Perhaps this line was said when he found some hiding LRRH-ers and a bonfire with several stolen copies of the Twilight Series (not saga) burning within it.
3. Or maybe he said this to Bella ten minutes after she secretly kissed Jacob. (Edward would probably consider this a crime punishable by stalking.)
4. It’s entirely plausible that this was spoken when he found Anilee and I after Isi met a very tragic…accident.
5. I could be that he said this when he found some LRRH-ers wearing his clothes in an attempt to stealthily steal them.
Leigha
*cracks up* Those were some great reasons.
And of course the possibilities of who Edward was talking to were hilarious.
Haha…you crack me up. Coincidentally, I was just at a wedding. I don’t think any of those things applied to the couple, fortunately.
Ahahaha. Yep. I think all those reasons are perfectly plausible.
I’m loving the Edward jokes. Keep ‘em coming! (Please?)
Good reasons, of course.
Why do four of the five possible reasons for Edward saying what he did involve me? And I don’t think any of those are things to feel guilty over. Especially not number 4, since it is an accident. Sort of. We didn’t purposefully fall in love with Geric, did we?
Very glad I made ya’ll laugh.
Keep in mind that four of them involve me as well, Anilee. And you were only specifically mentioned in one of them. Various LRRH-ers are involved with three of them.
I guess we didn’t mean exactly to fall in love Geric. However, that’s not nearly as accidental as Isi’s…accident…
Of course we didn’t mean to fall in love with Geric. It just happened. But it’s all his fault. And Isi’s…accident…is entirely accidental. Sort of…No. It is an accident. I think that will work quite nicely and will be *very* in character.
re your poll: Definitely Twilight. It would be so funny.
I’ve just spent a week around crazy Edward fangirls, so I’ll be pleased to be one of the LRRH-ers mentioned.
Anilee’s right. Reading a chapter analysis of Twilight would be hilarious.
Yah, but I would think that lots of people might want to do Twilight… I also feel slightly insulted that I wasn’t mentioned in the “accident”… I thought I was permitted to join
LOL!!! xD
*cackles* Purely accidental.
A week with crazy Edward fangirls, Verity? Are you still alive?
Ah! I’m sorry, Danielle. I totally forgot. Forgive me.
I would enjoy doing Twilight. I could be so snarky and evil. *rubs hands together gleefully*
Oh, you’re hilarious.
Haha….came over from Delaney’s Voices, I think she’s Faun-Song to y’all. Hm. Not sure.
Anyhoo..Love your blog!! I’ve always been fond of sarcastic people.
Hee hee, my best friend’s a lot like that. She’d probably love to rip Twilight to shreds. She loves being snarky.
Um, not to sound dumb. but…what are LRRH-ers???? *blushes* Sorry…I just have no clue. LOVE the Edward jokes! Can’t wait for more!
I shall definitely be back; I really love your blog!
What is your novel about?
Cheers,
Grace
P.S. I loved your post on Josh. (Yes, I don’t need to type his last name. We both know who I’m talking about.) Haha…I was chating with a guy I know from the Fairy Tale Novels foum, Master Paul Xavier, and I mentioned Josh, and he went “Ewww…”
I was like, “What?!!!? Why is he ‘Ewww’?”
Paul: “His songs are mush. Just mush.”
Me: “!!!!!”
lol…he had to hide for a while from my wrath. I’ve made up my mind to tourture him by quoting Josh Groban lyrics.
Raewyn, LRRH-ers is a shortened form of LittleRedReadingHood-ers. LRRH (www.littleredreadinghood.com) is the Shannon Hale fan forum.
Josh’s songs are not mush. Boys.
They don’t understand. (My younger brother would only listen to like five seconds of “February Song”.)
Glad you like my blog, Raewyn. Yes, I’m quite sarcastic. More so than I should be sometimes.
Well, the ever so helpful Anilee answered your question about LRRH-ers. I’d like to add though that they are a crazy group of people. And I’m proud to be one of them.
Uuuh, my novel is about, well…. If you check out the Writing Ramblings page at the at the top of the sidebar, there’s information about it there. You can email me at starzjess@gmail.com for the password.
Glad you’re a Josh fan. And he is so not mush. Boys know nothing.
Yay, snarks!
I just lost something on an airplane and was feeling glum until I read your post. Hilarious. I am so glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t get the whole fall-in-love-with-a-vampire-at-seventeen thing.
And I like sarcastic people.
Hoo. That was fast. Thanks Anilee, and Leigha!
Yah, loove your blog. Keep it up. I love sarcastic people. I’m not that good at it though. *sniffs* I mean, I can be sarcastic, just not that great at being sarcastic funny. *sniffle*
I just joined the LRHH so I guess I’ll be seeing you girls around!
Oh, and Geric totally rocks. 
Will do so. Can’t wait to read it!
Haha…there’s nothing like being on a airplane, reading something hilarious and laughing as strangers look on. Hope you find your something-lost, Edge. Cool name, by the way.
Oh, by the way, Leigha, you inspired me to head over to creativewritingprompts.com, and inspired a whole post on my blog! Check it out. Please? *puppy dog eyes*
Yes. I LOVE Josh. And boys do know nothing. Paul is going to have serious trouble with his future wife. I just know he’ll marry a Josh fan. And then he’ll have to listen to Josh sing at his wedding, and dance to “So She Dances” for the bride/groom dance. Hee hee. Revenge will be sweet.
fondly,
Rae
LRRH rocks my world. It’s the only reason I know how amazing Josh is. Otherwise, I’d be in musical darkness. And daffodil darkness. And come to think of it, manly darkness. Wow. *ponders this* *shakes head sadly* Yes, LRRH is a good thing.
Geric does totally rock. *swoon* “I’d crumble if I lost you.” That line totally makes me crumble. *sigh*
That will be sweet revenge. Wait…is Josh actually going to be at the wedding? Can you invite me? I promise not to scare him off.
Of course! All blogging Josh fans will be invited, don’t worry. I’ll see to it. I’ll probably be planning his wedding, so… you, Leigha, and and the chosen few will be there.
‘Manly darkness’…oh my gosh. I think I’m going to have a attack, I’m laughing so hard…
I know! I love him! Isi’s name is so cool! And she’s so lucky! Oh, wait, she…had a accident.
I love the part after he and sh are revealed and they are standing alone somewhere. Gah, I was melting. Goo, absolutely goo. 
Fun.
*is still giggling about manly darkness*
Yes. Isi is going to meet a terrible but completely accidental fate. That Ani Isilee and I there when the accident happens is just an unfortunate coincidence.
And I know. I fell so hard for him when he proposed to her. *swoon*
*giggles*
I left a comment on your blog. Two actually; I was the first to comment on your ‘About Me’ page. So you’re sixteen? I’m fifteen, and will be sixteen in seven months. Yes, I’m counting.
I really love your blog.
I should probably go and nose around LRRH…
You should probably know, Rae, that I’m Josh’s fiancee.
Really. Ask Anilee. She knows.
Ah, Geric. *sighs and swoons*
She is. It’s true.
Yay, another Josh fan/Shanfan!
Love your lists.
Numbers 5 and 7 are my favorites, but some of those are very practical reasons (such as 1 and 6) 
@Raewyn – You’re planning Paul’s wedding now? Wow.
But of course you know that means you can’t be the bride… 
*giggles*
Grace, I really had no idea you had read The Goose Girl!
All boys don’t know nothing. My brother knows, he likes Josh.
Isn’t your wedding coming up, Ani Isilee?
Delaney! *hugs her*
*shifty eyes* Um…er, he doesn’t exactly know. Yet.
Haha, well, I knew I wasn’t going to the bride anyway. Mamma Rose made that very clear to me. I think if I tried, both she and Elena would..um…hide me away until the wedding was over. And that can’t happen! 
Yes, I read it and I fell in love with it! I read Princess Acadmey, but it wasn’t as good as Goose Girl. I can’t wait to get my hands on Emma Burning! It’s at the library right now, but I have no card! *cries*
*feels loved* I wandered on to the right blog…;)
Really?!? Congrats, Anilee! You’ll be so happy together! Can I plan your wedding?
Um, Anilee’s not marrying Josh. I am. (Ani Isilee is my name on LRRH) Anilee is going to be Auntie Anilee to our kids.
You’ll have to talk to Anilee about the planning though because she’s helping pick the location in Venice. 
I don’t like Princess Academy as much as I like Books of Bayern either. And Enna Burning rocks. I love the crumble scene. *swoons*
And yes. I’ll be Aunt Anilee and I’ll be the most awesome aunt ever.
And yes. I’m in charge of planning. Mainly because it’s because of me we settled upon the idea of Josh marrying Leigha in the first place.
I love the crumble scene too. *swoons*
If it wasn’t for Anilee, Josh would shipped around in a box.
Which was also my idea.
You’re just the ultimate idea-getter I suppose.
Yeah, Grace, you did. You fit in with all the swooning folks.
Aww, I like Princess Academy a lot! It’s not as lovely as The Goose Girl, but I recently reread it and have a new love for it.
Has anyone told Josh he’s getting married?
Of course he knows. He did propose.
Lol…yeah, I finally find girls who are just swoon-prone as I am. The suffering I have to endure on the forum.
Oops, sorry Leigha. Congrats! You’re marrying him! You lucky girl.
