The time has come....

I need a new freakin handle.

This whole real first name, last name thing is just making me too paranoid. I'm applying for jobs, the hubs is going for an uber top-secret clearance for his new assignment, something needs to be done. I feel like I can't completely be myself on this blog cause it may be Google-able. I've tried to Google myself, nothing comes up other than Facebook and Myspace (and that shit's on private), but I have no doubt in the capabilities of those with power. I recently deleted the pictures of my face on my "alternative" sites, so has the hubs.

My thoughts exactly.

The shitty thing is people in Twitardia know me as me. If I change my name, how anybody know who I am? I know @Twi_Lin did a name change a while back and it worked for her, but it took everybody a while to realize that it was still her. I don't mind having my first name in my handle, I mean my name is truly not as common as you'd imagine. Is it weird that I don't want to feel like a Twitarded n00b with this change of name? I've worked hard to make you lovely friends! You are all so important to me, I don't want to get lost in the name change!

You see, today I was creating a post that I really wanted to publish... I called it "Down to the Hot and Dirty"...then it dawned on me. That job that I just applied for last week? If they were to see this? Wow. If my mother, heaven forbid (I love her to death, but there somethings she just doesn't know about) saw some of this? EEEK! SHAAAMMEE!

I know, Gran, you raised me better.

Point is, I don't want to dilly dally around anymore. I want freedom of speech. Like, for reallies.

And freedom to post pics like this. Because
it is part of who I am.

I want more anonymity. 

THAT brings us to my next problem. I don't have a creative bone in my body. I see other people's awesome ideas and modify them to "my own"... ha, yeah, RIGHT. My AIM handles and handles that I have on other sites are based off a girl scout nick name when I was twelve. Yeah. Daisy, how original, right? I understand that this means an entirely new g-mail account, etc.... but I think it's worth it.

Now because I have this blog, I was thinking maybe @dirtyhotandnerdy would work, but it seems a bit pretentious if you don't know the context! lol. Do you ladies have ANY suggestions?!?! Pretty, pretty, pretty please help me out here! You ladies know me pretty well, any ideas? I'd like to get this ball rolling so I can actually post the blog I originally wanted to tonight.

......and get on to the dirty hot and nerdy! ;)

*EEEEKKK So I just realized that when you type my  name then search Google images, pictures from my blog, and therefore a link to my blog pops up! Shiiiiiiit. 

It was an Eclipse weekend!

As everybody is well aware, this past Saturday, we had the Twi-event of the Fall! The Eclipse DVD/Bluray release!

So, in honor of this joyous event, I had a little shindig at my house! @Twi_Lin and her friend, @amandakmelby and @Jaymes805,  @Renabug1, and my sister all arrived Friday night! We debated heading to Wal-Mart for the midnight release, but decided Target was the way to go!!!

They, of course, had the best edition. Thanks to Twicrack Addict and her awesome review, it made our decision very easy.

We woke up Saturday morning, and after a very late night, got a somewhat slow start. By the time we had all showered and eaten breakfast, we headed over to Target. My sister decided to forgo the uber-twitardia and stay home. Bless her heart, cause when we got there, it was a "squeeee" fest!

It's TIIIIIIME!

 

The ladies!!! You can see the squee in our faces.

The gang! The hubs is such a good sport!

After ooh-ing and awe-ing, we picked our editions and headed home! A few hour later, we had a few more of my friends join us, then we started to play Twilight Scene It! :)

Getting ready!

All of the Mini's are ready to play!

So, as we are setting up, we notice that a certain someone seems incredibly interested:

He jumped up onto the ottoman where we had the game and the Minis....

He laid down "next" to SparkleWard....While
giving MiniB and evil look....

I know Edward smells delicious, apparently
Garfield agrees....

"Just one quick kiss, Edward?!"

MiniB had to jump on him and claim her man... She
was getting pretty jealous.

Then he reached out for Forks-clothed Mini E.... in his special place.

Bwahahaha! Yes, his paw stayed there while
we were all laughing...

Including my husband. He has always thought Garfield was into boys, but now he has the proof. Garfield is out of the closet.

We composed ourselves long enough to make ourselves drinks and get the games started! We seriously went through four of these:

I'm not sure if you can tell, but this is a HUGE bottle.
I should have gotten some scale. 

Then, it was time for dinner. Guess how original I was?

LOVE these decorations, courtesy of @Twi_Lin!

Sauce for the Omnivores, the Herbivores had a
delish marinara!

Ta-da!!

Our dessert table! More than we could eat.

Then we proceeded to watch Eclipse in all of it's 55', BluRay, surround sound glory!! My goodness, Edward in HD was almost more than I can handle. 

*DROOLING*

After we watched the Bluray, the deleted scenes, the 6 part making-of, and some of the commentary, everybody was having a good time!

Group Pic!...Sans the Hubs.

Bella mid-leap!

Making Twilight sentences....

Then @Twi_Lin and I brought out our party favors! Check out what she gave us!

It's a Rob Porn bracelet!! AWESOME!!

Beanie Rob, my favorite!

Love it!!

I made little ornaments cause I'm soooo not talented....

They don't all say Charla, natch. 

After our awesome gift exchange, I come out to find this:

This..

To this!!!! It's a monkey-man onesie! He is
my "monkey man"!!

Hahaha! He bought this while we were at Target!

Daddy and Bella love...

After that, we all went to sleep, it was pretty late. What a wonderful weekend! I'm so happy to have all of you h00rs in my life, and I loved spending time with each and every one of you. We have to do this again soon, very soon! I miss you all already!!
