Those familiar with the book(s) know of the patriarch of the Cullen family, Dr.Carlisle Cullen. Played by Peter Facinelli in the movie, sure, he was attractive, but not tooootally my type. I like clean cut , but the slicked-back bleach-blonde hair wasn't doing as much for me as some of the other, say, brunettes. Don't get me wrong, I would still totally hit that.

But.

I was doing a little google image and twilight fan site surfing and came across some particularly appealing pics of our man Peter. So of course, I will post them for your viewing pleasure as well.

Emphasis on the pleasure.

Hmmm...going to go with a few lines from Miss J-Lo's Let's Get Loud;

If you wanna live your life
Live it all the way and don't you waste it
Every feelin' every beat
Can be so very sweet you gotta taste it
You gotta do it (you gotta do it)
you gotta do it your way
Life's a party, make it hot
Dance don't ever stop, whatever rhythm
Every minute, every day
Take them all the way you gotta live 'em ('cause I'm going to live my life)
You gotta do it (you gotta do it)
you gotta do it your way Be what you wanna be make no excuses
You gotta do it, (do)
You gotta do it your way

Who did you miss?
Some past loves.

Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2008.
Crying right before bed leads to a)usually extremely odd dreams that bring in weird elements from sub conscious thought, and b) hideous puffy eyes/eyelids in the morning which are suuuper nice to deal with when you have to be at work early, and not so nice when you're trying to give a hot coworker 'the eyes'.

What are your plans for 2009?
To continue kicking ass and taking names!
