Heeeeellooooo? Is anyone out there!? Oh hey there you are! Please. Come in.

Welcome to another Life with Lisa, with …. you guess it, ME! This week’s topic is very serious. It’s nothing that should be laughed at, it’s something that shouldn’t be judged, and it’s something everyone should know about.

Ever heard of Twilight? New Moon? Eclipse? Breaking Dawn? No? Yes?

Well, if you haven’t than you officially been living under a rock (a HUGE rock) for the last few years! And before you even continue reading this segment of Life with Lisa, you need to get in a car, go to the nearest book store, and by all of the titles named above (Stephanie Meyer). Once you’ve done that, go to the closest movie rental place, and get the first three !

Breaking Dawn Part 1, premières in theaters (here in the USA) in November. Yeah, some of you are thinking, “Lisa are you bananas? That’s more than a month away!” But can’t a girl be excited? Especially after seeing these:

Seeing these awesome movie posters, than finding this, I almost peed in my pants!

I know this isn’t like the usual Life with Lisa post, but I really want to share my finds with you guys. I would love to hear what you think about the trailer and the posters! Are you as excited as I am?

P.S. Team Jacob or Edward?

1. Watch out for his little sister; she’s powerful enough to do stuff, but young enough to still want to do naughty things. Unless you like spending time as a frog, I wouldn’t ping her off.

2. When meeting his parents there’s a chance they don’t want to let you in on the family secret. So even though you know, don’t let on.

3. Ask for a list of special dates for him and his family; if you’ve gone well with the meeting of the family, then perhaps they won’t mind allowing you to attend some of the more celebratory evens on the calendar. Additionally, knowing these special dates will allow you to know when he’ll need to not be called or asked out on a date.

4. Probably best not to go buying your guy a merlin costume for those Halloween parties. Pointy hats do actually hold some symbolism, so even if your heart is in the right spot, be aware and be warned.

5. Wizards usually have an animal familiar. So you might want to find out what his is before you start getting too serious. It would suck to be allergic to his cat, rat, owl, or crow. Even worse would be for your pet to hate or eat his on a visit.

6. He may be a bit of a messy wizard, so be sure to look where you’re about to sit. You wouldn’t want to break his wand.

7. Find out his favourite TV shows and movies. He’s probably got a good sense of humor about the way Hollywood portrays his fellow magic wielders. Try box sets of Sabrina the Teenage witch for those dates when you’re both baby-sitting his little sister. It may also teach her why it isn’t a good idea to turn you into a frog.

8. If you ever see a random and old-looking hard cover book lying around, perhaps open, keep your nose out of it. It could be his book of shadows, which is like a diary, but with slightly more sensitive content.

9. No matter how tempting it may be, never ask him to work any magic that may be classed as being for personal gain. Getting your math teacher sick on the day of a big exam, or fudging results will only end up in tears one way or another.  Better to not tempt fate.

10. His fellow coven members are likely to be a tad on the geeky side. They will most likely have hearts of gold and find it hard to get the girl. So be kind and introduce your friends to them. It’s always better at gatherings between friends if you actually know some of the people who’ll be there.  Happiness is best when it’s shared.

Blessed be!

Hey Everyone!

Wow, is it already the weekend again? I feel like my weeks just fly by! With school, Turning Pages, Burn Bright, reading, Josh, and friends, I have almost no time for myself. But not to worry!! Lisa has the perfect topic for this week’s Life with Lisa segment!

Homecoming! If you don’t know what that is, it’s the school year’s biggest dance! So yes, girls hope and pray that the boy they’ve been crushing on will ask them to go, and spend hundreds of dollars on hair, makeup, nails, shoes and the prefect dress. While boys go out and buy fancy suits, and nice dress shoes.

Wasn’t asked to be someone’s date? Don’t stress! Just go with some friends! Who cares if you don’t have a date? You can dance with anyone and everyone you want, you don’t even have to worry about hurting someone else’s feelings if you don’t dance with them to every song.

Just go out, and have a good time with your friends. Go out to dinner before you go to the dance, and have a sleepover afterwards. Who needs boys anyways? 🙂

You want to go, but your boyfriend doesn’t? There’s two very simple answers for this question. If you really want to go dancing, then do what I mentioned above^^^. Want to go dancing, but rather spend the night with him? Have a special night, with just you and him. Stay at home, pop some corn, toss in a few movies, get a soft blanket to cuddle and get close in, and have a fun time. Or even, just go bowling, watch a movie, go putt putting, or to an arcade, and have a blast together.

Don’t know how to ask that special girl to go with you? Ahh, my favorite question! And this one goes out to you guys 🙂 There’s so many ways to go about this, but I know how it feels, you’re nervous (and even a bit scared) she’ll say no – or that the way you’re asking her won’t be comparable to the way her friends were asked. But no need to fear, Lisa is here!

1. If she drives to school, get out of class five minutes early. Put a rose on her windshield with a note, asking if she’ll be your date! This would make my heart melt, and I would shout yes from the roof tops! But remember to put your name, you don’t want her being confused.

2. Go into her next class, and draw on the board (of course with the teacher’s permission), writing her name REALLY big, so it catches her attention first thing, when she walks in. Then below her name, ask if you could be her escort to the dance.

3. If you know where she lives, go to her house. Bring a balloon, roses, and her ticket to the dance. Don’t go too late, that’s creepy, and make sure it’s dark out, it’s more romantic that way! Say her name, than ask if she would be your date to the dance! Simple 🙂

Want that perfect dress, but don’t have enough money? Go to a thrift store, Ross, Marshalls, JCPennys, Target, or any other clothing store that’s in your area. Who cares if you spent 100 bucks on a dress or 20? No one even notices anyway.

My school even offers a program, called the Dress Exchange, where you can bring your old dresses that you don’t want anymore, and get a new one (of course it’s used though!).

Do your own make-up, have your mom or older sister do your hair and nails. There is NO reason you should spent over fifty bucks!! Just be smart, and sure of what you want.

Have no clue how to dance? Doesn’t matter! You’re there to have fun with either your date or friends. You’re not there to have a dance contest. Keep your mind open and have a good time!

Howdy Ya’ll,

Welcome to Life with Lisa, this fine Friday (or Saturday, depends where you’re at)! As you all probably know, the second book of Burn Bright is coming out soon, or already has, and  Marianne was kind enough to send each staff member their own signed copy. Since I didn’t have Burn Bright, she was such a doll and sent both Burn Bright and Angel Arias. As of right now, I’m super busy not only with blogging for Burn Bright, Turning Pages, and normal life, but school also; so I’m not sure when I’ll be able to finally dig into them (but I hope soon!).

Yesterday, I was kind of just sitting around, thinking about things I could talk about this week’s Life with Lisa post; to be honest I’ve been so busy I haven’t even had time to prepare posts (which I plan on doing this weekend). So yes, I’ve been a bad little blogger, doing her posts last minute. I had no clue, what I could talk about, until I sent Marianne an email informing her that her package arrived. That’s when it all came to me! Why not blog about getting mail!?

Noooo, I’m not showing you all the junk I get in the mail or what kind bills I have.

But one of my biggest bug-a-boos is having to wait a long time just for something to come in the mail. Yeah, there’s priority shipping, but who wants to pay twenty (or more…usually more though) bucks on having a package be there by tomorrow? I send out at least five to eight packages a week, that would cost me over one hundred dollars, that’s insane!? I would rather send it the cheap route, and go to the bookstore once I’m done at the post office.

On the other hand, when I’m the receiver I don’t want to wait for two weeks either. Especially, if I know that a good books coming or if it’s a surprise (I love surprises!), that’s when I want it here, and I want it here right now!

Screamed, danced, jumped, laughed, smiled, and screamed a bit more were just a few things I did when I received my first package through the blogging world. I felt like it was a huge step in my blogging life. Like now, I’m cool enough to not only get books sent to me by my grandma, but other people too! When I opened my mailbox, and saw that yellow package, and with my name on it, I ripped it open right there. Without any hesitation!

When I first started blogging, I felt like it was me against the world – that all of the other bloggers were way more experienced and knew more than I did. Receiving this first package made me feel accepted, and like I’m here too, blogging alongside all of these other bookworms.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Make sure to leave me a comment, telling me about your first package experience! Have a lovely weekend(:

Hey Dolls (and Dudes)!

Last week, if you follow Life with Lisa (of course we do Lisa, your AWESOME!) than you should know, I was talking about first days of school, and first days of going into High School. I know I’m already in High School, but I figured why not just tell you guys how my first two days went? My class schedule is divided into two days, a blue and a orange day (our school colors). Each day I have four different classes, with different teachers and different classmates.

Our school was recently totally rebuilt and cost our city over 14 million dollars, that’s really expensive, but you should have seen the pile of trash it was before. Since we’ve had this renovation, many kids for other High Schools nearby want to go to the “new” school, and plus there were over 500 new Freshmen; soooo it’s a tad bit over crowded. I noticed this a few different times; when I was trying to get into the school parking lot, when I was trying to find an actual parking space, going from class to class in the hallway without having to shove someone out of my way, and each one of my classes has over 35 students!

This is crazy! We just had our school rebuilt, and now it’s too small! Great.

My first day wasn’t too bad; besides a minor headache. I had two classes and lunch with my boyfriend (Josh), I had a class with my best friends (Joyce and Shawnee) and I didn’t have any teachers that I don’t like. Everything was really great, but I guess I spoke too soon!

Today was horrible…

I had one class with Josh and Joyce (which isn’t the horrible part). But I did wake up late, forget my lunch, was hungry all day, ripped my pants (and you guessed it, right in between my legs) and had homework for two classes, along with tons of blogging to do! So today was a bit stressful (to say the least). But I’ll get on a regular schedule again soon, and become more efficient (:

Even though I didn’t want summer to end, I was glad to be back. I get to see my friends more often, I won’t be on the computer too much (but just enough!), and I get to meet new people. I hope the rest of the school year goes smoother than today did, and hopefully no more ripped pants!

Thanks for stopping by, here at Life with Lisa! Leave me a comment, I would love to know how your first day of school or just how your day of work went! Remember, the weekend’s only a day away(:
