Guilt & Twilight

[elleflies]

I'm feeling a bit guilty.

I have a 48 hour layover in Leipzig, which rarely happens, and my tentative plans to go to the Leipzig Zoo are falling through (my coworkers like to drink, this always screws plans for the day after). Normally, I'd be all 'screw this' and go alone, but I REALLY don't feel like it today.

A big part of me just wants to veg out for 48 hours (except for the part where I head into Leipzig to pick up absinthe for people).

I want to watch TV on my computer (OMG CHUCK HAS BEEN AWESOME LATELY!), edit Abandoned Farm Colony photos and catch up on e-mails.

And I feel so guilty about this because shouldn't I be out and about experiencing life and doing things and enjoying Germany? (even though I'm in Leipzig more then I'm in Texas and New York...)

URGH.

On an unrelated note.

I have now had a grand total of 5 people tell me I "look like that girl from Twilight"

*headdesk*

I introduce myself and the first thing people say is "you look like someone" and after that I know what they're going to say and its all downhill from there.

HELL, WHEN PEOPLE ASK ME TO DESCRIBE MYSELF I SHOULD JUST PULL THIS NUMBER OUT:

"very fair-skinned, with long, straight, dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. Her face is heart-shaped—a wide forehead with a widow's peak, large, wide-spaced eyes, prominent cheekbones, and then a thin nose and a narrow jaw with a pointed chin. Her lips are a little out of proportion, a bit too full for her jaw line. Her eyebrows are darker than her hair and more straight than they are arched. She's five foot four inches tall, slender but not at all muscular, and weighs about 115 pounds. She has stubby fingernails because she has a nervous habit of biting them."

Except for having ash blonde hair, blue eyes, no widow's peak, being 5 foot six and having FANTASTIC fingernails, it's spot on don't you think?





This would be KStew, otherwise known as "that girl from Twilight"




And here I am. Probably not the best photo for comparison, but I tend to be a complete goof in front of cameras and this is one of the few photos where I actually look normal.

I don't see it but apparently EVERYONE ELSE DOES.

I'm consoling myself with the thought that KStew hates Twilight too and that makes her okay.

Okay... there might be a little resemblance. In the shape of the face and the nose. But I'm older so shouldn't people be saying "KStew really looks like you!"



Also, I got into an arguement (again) with the military about the relative merits of Twilight. Usually this happens with the female soldiers. This time it was GUYS. MEN, I'M LOOSING FAITH IN YOUR MACHO DON'T LET ME DOWN!

Hrm... I have to admit there's a resemblance. With the pics, NOT with the purple prose. *grins* Maybe you can enjoy Germany and also do some catching up?

I'm trying to deny the resemblance but that seems to be the general consensus (Where's Darth Vader to scream NOOOOOOOO! when you need him?)

My version of enjoying Germany is going to be bratwurst. I enjoy that very much and its very German.

Problem solved :)

You dazzle me.

Now I'm going to use a John/Aeryn icon so you don't punch me.

Yaaaaay I get to see you in a week.

[elrina753.livejournal.com]

I'll show you dazzle. *hates*

Yes you do! And there will be SHOW!

[raelala.livejournal.com]

you are so not 5 ft 6!

[elrina753.livejournal.com]

Okay. Five foot seven. I rounded down!

[raelala.livejournal.com]

lolz.

HAHA NOOOO! I mean, now that you mention it I can KIND of see it, but. You do not fall head over heals in love with dazzley stalker not-vampires, do you? SEE, PROBLEM SOLVED.

Also, WAH. ME. IN YOUR SUITCASE. It will happen. And if you go to Leipzig often, why don't you just do it at another time? And maybe the next time plans will not fall through and you can go with other people too. :D

I'd say, there is a tiny resemblance, until you smile that snarky smile of yours. :D

ABSINTHE! \o/

[veracity]

You don't look like her except maybe the body of hair. That's it. You are not KStew.

Don't make me come after the military boys with my steel-toed boots! I will, damn it. Because hell no to any merits of Stalkerific.

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

Maybe a slight resemblance but I can't see you falling for a sparkly stalker.

[helikedmyshoes.livejournal.com]

Noooooo, barely any resemblance. I mean, you both look like people, so there's that.

Of course, people tell me I look like Drew Barrymore all the time. I don't see it.
