"I do love knitting patterns."

I love Nylon magazine. It's fun, it's fashionable, and it's cover choices are always wise. So, when I saw the new cover of Anna Paquin on True Blood, I thought she looked fabulous. Check it out for yourself.

Here is the cover:

In the issue, she talks about having sex onscreen with her fiancee, her chillax attitude on nudity ("I don't share the [attitude] that you can have graphic violence, but - God forbid - you see someone's nipples."), her transformation from brunette to blond and reactions she got from it, and how she doesn't mind acting in both movies and television ("For me, it's about the material.")

I don't know about you, but even though I buy every issue of Nylon, I'll be rushing out to buy this once it hits newsstands.

I had a dream last night that Hayley Williams was a lesbian. Or bisexual. I don't know which, all I know was that she made out with me.

Can anyone help me in this WTF?

Recently, a model named Jasmine Fiore was murdered. A "person of interest" in the case is Ryan Jenkins. If he sounds familiar, he is a contestant on a VH1 reality show titled "Megan Wants A Millionaire" where former "Rock Of Love" and "I Love Money" and "Rock of Love Charm School" contestant, Megan Hauserman, seeks love, or lust, through 17 male contestants, all with a net worth over $1 million.

VH1 has since stalled future airings, and removed his biography and pictures from their website. However, Jenkins was charged with assault causing bodily harm in 2005 of his girlfriend.

Now, Megan Hauserman is not the most liked VH1 dating contest show contestant, in fact, she's probably the most hated, but she doesn't deserve to be hit. Nothing happened to her, and most likely nothing could happen to her on the show, because there would be security around. But what if he had won, and something did happen to her?
Why doesn't VH1 do background checks on their contestants?
Most likely it's because they want to bring in people who are most likely going to bring in drama. Two mild-mannered girls vying for an aging rockstar? Boring. One drug addict with strong opinions and a loud mouth, and a ditzy blond with a loud mouth? Brings in ratings. Nevertheless, nothing is okay about pitting someone with a criminal record for physically hurting a love interest just for ratings. It is sick. Why did it come to a murder of a person for VH1 to finally realize that having people with a history of domestic violence on a dating show is a bad idea?

How about we talk about a situation that happened to a person who won a dating contest?

A woman, Jane Doe, sued a radio station because her date ended in sexual assault. The contest was presented as "Win A Date With Travis", who was  Travis Harvey, a guy who was touted as "a great guy" and "kind", yet had bad luck finding women.

Doe, 23 at the time, won the contest, and Harvey promised her a date at Chicago's House of Blues. The day of the date, he said he was tired, and opted for pizza at his place instead. After a drink, she felt dazed. He then raped her, and her attorney says she was drugged (sounds about right to me).

Maybe it's good that the radio station and VH1 have probably learned to do some form of background check, if they apply this in the future. Hopefully, they now realize how important background checks are on contestants.

Okay, maybe I'm just doing midnight musing. None of this might not make sense.

Good news all! Brokencyde are off of Warped Tour! The group has removed all their Warped Tour dates off their MySpace as of now.
The question remains, though: Why? Read more...

Why is "Get a life" the default arguement to anyone who disagrees with someone over the Internet?

First, you don't know a thing about the person you are argueing/debating with. So how do you know they don't have a life? Do you  know they have a life because they disagree with what you think? Wow. Astounding logic, there.

Second, Come on. Really? Do you have nothing better to say? Can you not think of any other point to make in a discussion/debate/arguement, besides "Get a life"?
If you seriously cannot think of anything else to say in the discussion, then admit defeat. Easy and simple.

Finally, it takes me a span of thirty seconds to leave a comment. It takes me a half hour to write a journal. Of course, I watch television while I write a journal. But the span of time I am using to actually write the journal is 20-30 minutes.
Let's do some math here.
There are 24 hours in a day. I do not sleep for more than 9 hours in the summer. That means I am awake for 15 hours. I do a lot in those fifteen hours. Shopping, making jewelry, making myself meals, washing dishes, watching television, working out, walking/playing with my dogs, jumping on my trampoline, making blankets, etc. Notice how none of that even involves the internet? But what I do on the Internet besides make comments on journals or make journals on Buzznet? I play on FarmTown on Facebook. I Google/Wikipedia anything that'll come up during a television show or in my thoughts. So, how is it that I have no life, when clearly, I don't even spend that much time disagreeing with you.

And now, I shall return to my life.

Thank you for reading this rant.

Let's talk about "Rock Chick".
I feel the same way. Wearing a leather jacket or a bunch of necklaces doesn't automatically make you a rocker.

Wear some pants girls!

Toolbelts for Women?

Baby shower goods.

What the stars are wearing on these hot summer days.

A new group of girls has proudly stood against it. Most of them wear purity rings. They always talk about how much they love their parents. They talk about having been bullied in middle school. They are the nice girls. They're coming...

My nephew, Lilcoln, was born this night. He weighs nine pounds.

(By the way, he lives in North Dakota, so no picture.)

What do you think could make a women happy? Equal pay? R-E-S-P-E-C-T? No! Pink parking spaces, duh!

No offense, but this sounds like something Carrie Bradshaw wannabes in rom-coms talk about to make cities better for women. Only a few of these ideas actually seem like good ideas. Helping women find jobs (if they want them) and adding more day-care centers.

Look, it's not that long of a walk from the mall to a parking space. If it feels like it is, I am probably not going to shopping. I don't need my own parking space at the mall, just because I have a vagina. I'm not that picky about public restrooms. As long as there isn't poop still in the toilet, I'm fine. I still want to know how improving lighting in public spaces helps women.

Listen, Seoul, I get you'd want to make the city more friendly for women. But to do this, you don't need to take every suggestion that comes up in the suggestion box seriously. I mean, pink parking spaces?

Teen Vogue has come up with a guide on careers in fashion. Personally, I think it would be fun to be a stylist, but I could not be a model. I'm like, 5'2. Kate Moss is considered short for modeling at 5'7.

It includes a Q & A with Marc Jacobs, "words of wisdom" from Karl Lagerfield and Anna Wintour (aka, Meryl Streep's character/twin in The Devil Wears Prada), and a list of essential beauty products.

Gossip Girl costume designer, Eric Daman, gives you some tips on dressing like a Gossip Girl.
I disagree on the big bags for big girls, and vice versa. I need a big bag, because, like my grandma, I carry a lot of stuff. I also need stuff to hide my snacks in when I go to the movies.

Dollhouse jewellery?
Perfect to wear when you go see Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, right?

John Hughes, the mastermind behind classic movies such as "Pretty in Pink", "Sixteen Candles", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "The Breakfast Club", died of a heart attack today at age 59.

So, today, we celebrate John Hughes' films. I'm going to go dig out my DVD of Ferris Bueller, and watch it. And watch the bonus features. Pay your respects...

After the aleged suit that Stephenie Meyer stole the idea for Twilight from a college roommate was proven to be false, it seems a real lawsuit has come into light. Read more...

First, Smeyer is treated as a modern-day feminist with her own graphic novel, even though she's worse for the cause than Sarah Palin is.

Now, Entertainment Weekly has, instead of joining the resistance, helped them. See the list here?

So, I know some of you are sick of seeing Twilight everywhere. Some Twilight fans aren't even satisfied! They want Edward/Twilight to be #1! No exceptions.

What happens when Twilight gets bigger, is that the line between fiction and non-fiction will seperate. That's right. Once Twilight takes over the world, Edward, Bella, and Jacob will join our world. Not only that, but they will rule supreme over th Earth. That means no sex until marriage, or else you will be a prisoner on the dreaded Isle of Esme, where the rulers reside. This also means you must only wear glitter, and crappy Twilight shirts from Hot Topic/Nordstrom. Remember all our progress in feminism? Well, once Twilight reigns supreme, all that will be lost. Women will only stay home and cook, and their only concern will be finding true love, and then obeying said true love's every command.

Now, I have contacted certain fictional characters across the borderline, and we have agreed that once Twilight reigns supreme, we shall all join together in the resistance. I cannot say who these characters are, for fear that they will be caught and tortured. All I can say is that they are considered the biggest enemies of Twilight, and their names rhyme with Barry and Huffy.

I cannot say where the headquarters of the resistance takes place, but I can say it is a castle in the place where it is sunny. You must say a secret password to get in. The names that rhyme with Barry and Huffy are still coming up with the password.

Don't worry, we shall conquer Twilight.

WARNING: This is a joke about how, even though Twilight is bloody everywhere, some people just can't handle it, and request that Twilight is #1.

WARNING: If you do not have this line of thinking does not apply to you, then do not take this to heart. Just be glad you aren't the sterotypical teenager of the "Entitled Generation"

This message is for the fans who are angry at Summit movie studio for a recent career move. Why are they angry? Because Summit isn't concerned about the fans of Twilight. They are only concerned about making money.

Summit is a film company. Of course they only care about making money. That's what they're supposed to be concerned about. Actors portray the characters. Special and visual effects make everything seem more real. Directors make sure their film is artistic, and still appeals to its target audience. The movie studio makes sure the film makes money.

This certain actress didn't play that big of a part in the first two films in the Twilight series. This same actress scheduled a film that ended up conflicting with the schedule of the third film. I agree with Summit on this. If she was so passionate to play her character in the third film, then she should've at least told Summit that she was filming another movie around the same time.

Finally, Summit does not have to cater around the fans of Twilight. Warner Bros. certainly didn't cater around Harry Potter fans, so why should Summit bend over backwards for Twilight fans? Because Summit is an independent film studio, founded in 1996, whereas Warner Bros Pictures was founded in 1918? Just because Twilight supposedly "made" Summit (you mean that it is Summit Entertainment's first big hit), doesn't mean it needs to do only what the fans of Twilight wants. They have other movies coming out (Bandslam, Sorority Row, Tekken) and have a film that is in production (Remember Me, Furry Vengeance, Astro Boy, Letters to Juliet). They have other things to do beside help Twilight take over the world.

So, what have we learned today:

• That movie studios are supposed to be concerned with making money.
• The world doesn't revolve around one single person or franchise.
• That Summit Entertainment has other things going on.

Now, have a good day!

Make no mistake, there will come a day when some poor schmucks will decide to use lines from Twilight as pick-up lines. Hell, it's probably happening already.
Gals, you already know how to respond to regular-old pick-up lines. Now, I am going to give you responses to Twilight pick-up lines.

He says: "You're my own personal brand of heroin."
You say: "And you're my own personal brand of cyanide."

He says: "You need a healthy dose of fear. Nothing could be more beneficial for you."
You say: "What I need is for you to not talk to me."

He says:  "They don't understand why I can't leave you alone."
You say: "I don't unerstand why you won't leave me alone."

He says: "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb."
You say: "And then the lamb told the lion to fuck off."

He says: "You're intoxicated by my very presence."
You say: "Nah. I just feel like barfing."

He says: "Shall I explain how you are tempting me?"
You say: "Shall I explain how you are sickening me?"

He says: "Your wish, my command."
You say: "I wish for you to leave me alone."

He says: "I prefer brunettes."
You say: "I prefer...not you."

Do you have any ideas for a good response to Twilight pick-up lines? Share them!

WARNING: This is made purely for humorous purposes. I suggest you not use Twilight as a guide for picking up chicks. Also, if you are going to flame me, remember that people's opinions differ from yours.

Throughout the day, the top trending topics on Twitter ranged from "Camilla" "#WeLoveYouJoeJonas" etc. apparently, Joe Jonas and Camilla Belle have broken up. Whoop-de-tap-dancing-doo.

But we're not talking about that. Per se. We are talking about the physco fans who are literally wishing Camilla Belle dead. Why? Because reportedly Joe Jonas teared up at a recent performance. Yet he also reportely changed the lyrics from "Much Better" to "I'm through with movie stars"

Listen, girls, you need to stop wishing people dead just because they're romantically linked with a celebrity you admire. Death is a serious thing. No one deserves to die. Especially if all they've done is date someone.

There is nothing wrong with celebrity crushes. I feel they help you find out what you're looking for in another person. But you need to realize that they aren't going to come bursting through the door, dumping whatever significant other they have, carry you off into the sunset and marry you. It's fine to dream, but just remember that it's not going to happen. It would also help if you not post these fantasies as fanfic, or even change the names and publish it into a novel. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

You do not have a real-life romance with the Jonas Brothers. You most likely don't even know them. Even if you met them once, you only talked to them, but you still don't know them. You don't know what are their deepest fears, what comforts them during a potential break-down, or their fondest childhood memories. The same goes for Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Camilla Belle, or Danielle Deleasa. You can't claim that either one of these five girls only dated a JoBro for their career. You can't say that the Jonas Brothers are the sweetest guys. You don't know any of these people. You only know their image, their acting, and singing.

Another thing is, none of the JoBros will find it attractive that you are that jealous, that vicious, and overall just obsessed. Your level of obsession will creep them out. If you want to get a real-life boyfriend, the same goes, except they won't like that you are that obsessed with a celebrity.

My one last final word: Joe Jonas was dumped by Camilla Belle. That's it. You don't need to announce how much you love him. He wasn't in a near fatal car accident, he wasn't beaten by an enemy. He was broken up with. We've seen that he gets over it quite fast.

Oh, and for the girls who don't go as far as wishing these girls dead, but are still vicious to them, the same goes for you.

Jessica Simpson has been given the nickname "Yoko Romo", and on a blog post about their break-up, a commenter said "Now we're going to the Superbowl!"

Excuse me, I didn't know we had suddenly landed in medieval times.

I mean, seriously. I never pretend to know or like sports, but this just seems ridiculously sexist to me.

I know many girls and boys in choir who invite their boyfriends and girlfriends to the choir concert. Many girlfriends go to their footbal boyfriend's games. Boyfriends and girlfriends support each other in their significant other's passions, talents, etc. And high school and Hollywood seem very similar to me.

I do not see what is healthy about blaming a game loss on a person in the player's private life. Why stop at girlfriends/wives/fiancees? How about we blame the mothers, the sisters, the fathers and brothers?
The way I see it, if the team loses, and the star player's significant other was there, it maybe because he got himself distracted. As Corbin Bleu once said, "Get'cha Head in the Game".

Then there is also this twisted logic that if the girlfriend doesn't want her boyfriend to lose, she shouldn't go to his games. To me, it's the same logic as "If the girl didn't want get beaten by her lover, she should've just not made him angry."
If the sports star is losing the game, the problem does not lie with who he is dating. The problem lies with him.

Rant over.

And I don't even want to get into a rant about the nickname "Yoko Romo"

So, I know everyone is going to say how unfair this is to Wizards of Waverly Place. Well, too bad.

Wizards of Waverly Place: Wizards vs Vampires airs in 1 1/2, on the West Coast, as I type this. So, I am going to give the comparison fans of the Disney Channel series have been doing themselves since the show aired.

Everyone can debate/picspam civilly, but those who do not, will be picspammed. Uncivilly. No personal attacks on me, or any other commenters. No names. And please, no "How is this a comparison?" comments. Those will be deleted.

So, first up, is the unstoppable force that is, Harry Potter.

Harry Potter is a fantasy, with a touch of comedy, and is full of symbolism. It's not as lighthearted as Waverly Place, so that's probably why the comparison seems partly unfair.

We learn from the first book/movie, that there are limitations on magic. They can't bring people back from the dead. They can't make someone truly fall in love with another against their will. And there is no countercurse to Avada Kedavra: The killing curse.

There are certain titles for each person in the Wizarding World: A male is a wizard. A female is a witch. A male who has been honored is a warlok (think of a knight). In the Wizarding World, there are celebrities, such as Harry Potter himself, Gilderoy Lockhart, Albus Dumbledore, etc. However, unlike the real world, these celebrities become one, not by starring in a movie, or having a webcam, or having pink hair, but for supposedly conquering dark magic.

Nothing in Harry Potter is sugar-coated. Magic can help, make things easier, and can destroy people.

You know, I think I am going to end my piece on Harry Potter here.

Now, we move on to Wizards of Waverly Place

Yeah, I'm using the same picture as the Vampires one. Wah.

Okay, so Waverly Place is a bit of a light-hearted sitcom. Whereas Harry Potter is about the whole other world, Waverly Place is about a family of wizards trying to live in our world.

There aren't that many limitatins that they talk about. No one ever really dies, considering it is a children's television series. They do have love potions, but it's never really discussed about "true love" and they're really just normal, American teenagers, who have magical powers.

The spells seem to be just words describing what they do, with "ius" at the end of it. No matter what gender or honor you've been placed, you are a "wizard". Since this show was created by the Disney Channel to be for fans 6-12, it's not like they really show dark magic. People that abuse magic are generally seen as trouble-makers, or deliquents.

Now, even though, in my opinion, Wizards of Waverly Place is a good show in its own right, it just isn't like Harry Potter. It's not bad, it's just not as spectacular as Harry Potter.

So, with all respect to everyone who works on Wizards of Waverly Place, our winner is
Harry Potter by default

Disagree with this? Debate in the comments! Have nothing else to say? More picspamming! (I could use more macros...)

You want to know what really annoys me? Whenever adressing the writer of a featured post, they're always adressed as "Buzznet."

Buzznet is a site, not a human being. If you have a problem with the post, adress the poster, not the entire site.

That, is all.
