As if my last post was not amazing enough, mradrz4evr has gone one step further in her pursuit to bring you the latest and greatest in Twilight news. For all non-Twilighters out there, my sincerest apologies. For those who got my email, scroll down for exclusive pics.
But it was a typical day in the world of moi, when I decided to go on my typical fifteen minute hunt for Breaking Dawn goodies. So I search a bit, and search a little bit more. And what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a webpage in Ukranian, and the first chapter, preface and quote of Breaking Dawn!!! Now, my blog has not been taken off the internet (yet....) but I haven't seen too many folks with this up yet, so please, be keepin it on the QT, got me? Now, without further ado....ENGAGEMENT!!!
FIRST CHAPTER OF BREAKING DAWN
(PS- thats the link, follow it)
Now, I do apologize for the grammatical errors- the girl is from Eastern Europe, give her a break. Don't believe this is legit? Take a look here:
http://twilighttheobsession.piczo.com/?g=33622656&cr=3
And what more can I say? EMAIL ME!!! What do you think of the quote, the preface, the writing itself? I don't know about you, but I am seriously hoping for a Potter-esque leaking of the data this time around. I know Twilight isn't nearly as high profile (yet) but if the fans have gone to these kind of lengths on the sneak peek....well, we can only imagine whats coming! Anyhooz, be emailing me with your reactions to this amazing new development. I remain humbly yours-

LOOK.....AT.....THIS!!!!
What you are about to see may shock you. I suggest a paper bag?
Oh yes, *pats back*, I found the leaked cover AND the unreleased promo! Now, I have some in-depth things to say about this....and given the freewebs site is dead, I might as well say them here. Well, lets do this!
WHAT BROOKE HAS TO SAY:
Now, I have been theorizing Twilight for some months now, and so far the musings I have made with Meagan, Lauren, Meaghan-with-an-H, Emily, other Emily, Lindsay, Catherine, etc. have all become held with some renown. I am confident in my logistics here, but as things have shifted considerably with the release of this cover art, I must confide in all you blog-readers a summary of the conversation Pyro and I had last night. For your consideration:
- We have a chess game going on here. But here's the kicker: its at a stalemate. No party can win. *mystery....*
- Obviously there is a red pawn and a white queen. The vampire references are there. But this could mean numerous things for numerous people. Lets take the obvious- Bella. Two wildly different pieces that cannot reach one another. One red, one white. Perhaps a choice she cannot go back on? *wink, wink* Or a place she can never be? *nudge, nudge*
- And the promo. Take your breath away- how very cliche. NOT!!! They're tempting us into thinking it...I don't want to believe it for fear that it's fake, but oh, how very sweet it is!
- But last of all, I must bring to your attention some very interesting things- the Pyro conversation. You may have heard by now that Stephenie Meyer wrote Breaking Dawn with the inspiration of two different stories: "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and one more we've yet to see. I think I might know about number two. You see, Pyro was reading the summary on wikipedia, and found some very strange parallels. I have highlighted parts of great importance in my own hard copy of the plot (see wikipedia for the full version) and any decent twilighter needs to know about this.
Three interlocking plots, connected by a celebration of the wedding of Duke Theseus of Athens and the Amazonian queen Hippolyta, and set simultaneously in the woodland, and in the realm of Fairyland, under the light of the moon.
Hermia refuses to comply with her father Egeus's wish for her to marry his chosen man, Demetrius. In response, Egeus quotes before Theseus an ancient Athenian law whereby a daughter must marry the suitor chosen by her father, or else face death. Theseus does not want this young girl to die, and offers her another choice, lifelong chastity.
Hermia and her lover Lysander decide to elope by escaping through the forest at night. Hermia informs her best friend Helena, but Helena has recently been rejected by Demetrius and decides to win back his favour by revealing the plan to him. Demetrius, followed doggedly by Helena, chases Hermia. Hermia and Lysander, believing themselves safely out of reach, sleep in the woods.
Oberon, king of the fairies, and his queen, Titania, arrive in the forest outside Athens. Titania tells Oberon she plans to stay there until after attending Theseus and Hippolyta's wedding. Oberon and Titania are estranged because Titania refuses to give her Indian changeling to Oberon for use as his "knight" or "henchman," since the child's mother was one of Titania's worshippers.
Puck applies a magical juice from a flower called "love-in-idleness," (aka pansy) which makes the victim fall in love with the first living thing the person sees when they awaken. He instructs Puck to retrieve the flower, so that he can make Titania fall in love with some vile creature of the forest.
Having seen Demetrius act cruelly toward Helena, Oberon orders Puck to spread some of the elixir on the eyelids of the young Athenian man. Instead, Puck accidentally puts the juice on the eyes of Lysander, who then falls in love with Helena.
Due to Puck's errors, both lovers now fight over Helena instead of Hermia. Helena, however, is convinced that her two suitors are mocking her, as neither loved her originally. The four pursue and quarrel with each other most of the night, until they become so enraged that they seek a place to duel each other to the death to settle the quarrel. Oberon orders Puck to keep the lovers from catching up with one another in the forest and to re-charm Lysander for Hermia, to prevent them all from killing each other.
And one last detail...
The lovers decide that the night's events must have been a dream
----------------------------------------------------
Okay, a lot to digest, I know. But there is even more info I must get to the right people. Here is some other leaked info- judge validity for yourself- as we all know, nothing is set in stone. First, the potential "back o' the book" statements:
"As August 13th draws closer, Bella is more
sure than ever that she has made the right choice - {indecipherable}to spend eternity with Edward. But a new enemy stalks closer, seeking
to tear Bella and Edward apart forever, one
with ties to both Vampire and Werewolf.
Can the {indecipherable} treaty between the two hold?
Or will the new threat force both sides to settle their blood feud once and for all?
Because when the dawn breaks, an angel will fall…
Following the international bestsellers Twilight,
New Moon and Eclipse, Breaking Dawn, the
final book in the Twilight saga, promises to
take your breath away."
Again with the breath awayishness. This makes it much easier to believe. But now, a leaked preface that has gotten around quite a bit on the forums and boards.
"I'd had more than my fair share of near-death experiences; it wasn't something you ever really got used to.
It seemed oddly inevitable, though, facing death again.
Like I really was marked for disaster. I'd escaped time and time again, but it kept coming back to me. Still, this time was so different from the others. You could run from something you feared, you could try to fight something you hated. All my reactions were geared toward those kinds of killers- the monsters, the enemies. When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options.
How could you run, how could you fight..."
And thats all for now, folks! While I try to track down the fabled first chapter of Breaking Dawn (some have read it, no one can find it), please email me with any personal theories that I might address in my recently begun Theorem of Breaking Dawn. Love you all, and twilighters EXCELSIOR!!!

Pictures of Importance.
*sigh* Wow, is this a landslide of unwarranted updating or what? In case you haven't noticed, I pretty much abandoned ship on the freewebs site, because the picture uploading system irritated me. However, that means you will still be getting the occasional Twilight-themed post- if it is of great importance. And lemme say right now, there is some awesome stuff coming!
Right here we have pictures of my school's recent musical, in which I was cast as a storyteller- think narrator, more singing and dancing. Also included are pictures of me hugging my beloved dolphin, Tony Stark, and enjoying life with highlights. Hope YOU enjoy it as well, and comment while you can! Thanx

April Showers.....
.....don't really happen in Texas. Not lately, anyway- most of the time we have been facing strangely overcast, yet somehow oppressively humid, days. It makes shotput quite interesting, I can tell you that much!
Things have been relatively quiet in San Antonio, but, like most things down south, wait five minutes and that will almost certainly change! Our school musical has been announced as "Once On This Island", an obscure play that is kind of like a crossover between The Little Mermaid, Romeo and Juliet, with this guy that pretty much embodies the Volturi thrown in, minus all the mythological creatures. Confuzzling, I know, but once it's up and running you can be sure I will have pictures for the occasion! Tryouts are in the next two weeks...so wish me luck!
Mitchell's 12th b-day party was last week, and what a night! I pretty much kept to myself, save for several threats in Mitchell's general direction under the premise that he dare to prank me, but from a reliable source I heard they stayed up until three AM. Needless to say, when I walked in the rec room at 11 AM that morning, one boy was sprawled along the couch, yet another precariously lying on the edge, and the last had somehow fallen asleep UNDER the air mattress. It was rather funny, I have to say.
But my greatest amusement these past few days has been my mother, whom, as some of you may have already heard, is reading the Twilight Saga. And the things she says! Since monday I have been proclaiming "Blog-worthy!" at numerous quotes before recording them in a notebook, and here they are- the hilariously unknowing things mi madre says por TWILIGHT!
"Is Edward evil?"
"Is Bella evil? I want to know!"
"So let me get this straight. The Cullens are werewolves that camp out every other weekend?"
AND ON TO NEW MOON.....
"Is Edward making those boys sick? Mike and Jacob?? Telepathically!???"
Oh, mamasita. Love you!
But there are always great quotes to be found, which brings me to my next installment of the blog. My Favorite Quotes of FILM! Be watching for this in the side column, or on the post area, over the weekend- I have much more time in that window, typically. But for now, ADIOS!

Ode to Wikipedia
Alright, we all hate it, but you gotta admit- Wikipedia is the website we ALL go to when we want to avoid skimming over 2,031,4539 1/2 websites on google. And it can tell you some interesting things! For example, did you know:
1. That guy cast as Charlie in the new Twilight movie? HES FROM BHAM!!! Yay. I now have proof that Bellingham Washington actually exist! (half the people in my school think I'm from D.C., fyi)
2. OOH! So is the lead singer from Death Cab for Cutie! (whose music I have never heard, but he's famous enough to have a picture on his wikiprofile. That has to count for something)OH!!! AND HE LEADS THE POSTAL SERVICE!!!! One of my favorite new bands. YAY HIM!!!
3. And from Mt. Vernon....Demi Moore and Jim Caviezel. Oh, that rainy land of my youth.
4. The inventor of Gatorade hails from S.A. A moment of silence for this electrolyte miracle-drink.
5. And the chairman of Valero *spits violently*
6. Hey! Patrick Swayze lives here! I wonder if my mother knows...
Okay, and now for a theory I've long meant to disprove. It had its roots waaay back in the day, when we were living in the Monte Cristo and my major hobby involved taking pictures of my stuffed llama, Loup-Garou. Lois was over and we were busy youtube-scouring, when I find this video that says, OH, THIS IS THE HUNGARIAN SUICIDE SONG THAT CAN DRIVE ANYONE OVER THE EDGE!!! We watched it. And, needless to say, it wasn't all that depressing. But maybe that was just us- how about you? Can YOU stand the horror and fright (jk) that is the HUNGARIAN SUICIDE SONG? Judge for yourself, and please, comment on your reactions. Thanx!
See the song here
And no, nothing will jump out at you, nor is that orchestrated part in the beginning the actual song. The maker of this video reaaaally wanted to draw the whole boring affair out as long as possible.
Anyways, enjoy!

PREMIERING NOW!!!
Lois came over Wednesday night, giving us the perfect opportunity to film the second part of what will hopefully end up a trilogy...THE VAMPIRE CHRONICLES!!! Although our interpretation is a bit off, as anybody who witnessed part one will most likely know by now, we do actually keep to the storyline. Sort of :^)
In this latest segment, The Abseenth Files, Claudia joins the world's most dysfunctional family. I replaced the husky as Claudia, and Mitch replaced me as Louis. Everybody did a fantastic job though, and nobody fell in the pool! (except for our floatie raft/lestat, but thats a long story) My commentary as you watch...
OPENING SEQUENCE:
Alright, the blonde wig returns!!! And Lois had to eat dinner in that horrifying face makeup. Props, LoLo. Let me just say right now- my greatest inspiration in this role was Ashley King, curse her!
(oh, and the muffled tones of mitchell's unrestrained laughter will become a recurrent theme here.)
BALCONY:
You have no idea how many times we rehearsed that. And my diss was different each time!
PIANO LESSONS: Yes, I am really playing the keyboard here! Self-taught, y'all. *insert acknowledgement to Train, Drops of Jupiter here* And earlier Lois had said "beating a badger", but that made me laugh really hard, so we junked it.
NIGHTMARES: Okay, has anyone here seen Scary Movie 2? With that creepy guy that's always like "oh, come here, sweet child!" The fact that my wig was falling off here combined with the fact that everyone around me was stifling laughter led to us all semi-collapsing in hysterics once we'd stopped recording.
ACCORDIAN DREAMS: This is my favorite scene, hands down. It originated when I was screwing around with the accordian between shots and Lois is like "ARGH! I can't STAND that noise!" I was inspired. The accordian joined the cast.
SO WHERE IS HAGRID???: We improvised the entire thing, knowing only that Lois would at some point exclaim that I was a wizard and the scene would have to end with me storming off camera and screaming. Judge the results for yourself!
BRUNETTE?: Okay, we had some editing issues here, because I am relying completely on Windows Movie Maker. Kind of funny that the part about it growing back again and again replayed!
ARGUMENTS: Yeah Lois!! WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST BRUNETTES???
PIANO CHAT: NO! That is not Lois playing. THAT is Lestat's Piano Sonata, from the Interview with the Vampire Soundtrack, playing on my ipod speakers in a conveniently hidden locale! But it sure looks realistic, doesn't it?
*THE BRANDY WINE BLOOPER*
Okay, I can explain. Its my doll, Priscilla, that Lois is aiming to kill here. And I had a very hard time reciting how I'd found said doll in a drunken stupor on the streets. However, I recited the ballad of sweeney todd a couple of times, and felt as good as new!
LESTAT DEATH SCENE: Okay, Lois is incapable of saying the words Absinthe or Laudanum. No matter hooooowww much we rehearse! Note my finality: DONT DO IT, LOUIS! And I was bludeoning Lois in that scene- you might recall a certain TACKLING incident about two weeks back? Hehe. Thats me, the spirit of Vengeance!
MITCHELL'S RAW EMOTION- GRASP IT, SENSE IT, TREMULOUS AND TENDER:
You should have seen his face. It was HEE-LARIOUS!!!! I could barely talk after that. So I just turned on creepy mode and made faces at the camera! (PS- the swamp is our pool. Can you tell?)
THATS MAH SWAMP!!!: Mitchell actually did a great Louis-cry just then. STELLAAA!!!!! LESTAAAAT!!!! (think of Stanley Kowalski, but with vampires!)
And then the idiotic camera ran out of juice. But liking my beautiful montage? Lois picked the first song. But I PICKED THE NEXT ONE!!! HEHEHAAAA!!!!
SPECIAL FEATURES: The temptation to make a reel of our priceless moments in film was too great. So I spent about five minutes throwing THAT together!
Well, hope you liked our AHMAZAZING film!!! Part three...coming soon to a non-theater near you!

Vanquishing Evil since 2003
YES!!!!!!!!!! IT IS REALLY HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!
I PUT MY VAN HELSING MOVIE POSTER ON THE WALL!!!!!
*insert triumphant orchestral surge, preferably Handel's Hallelujah Chorus*
It may have taken us weeks upon weeks, but today (with much help from madre y padre, muchas gracias)the poster of the greatest movie of all time has been placed upon my wall. Now, I know some people may be thinking otherwise (Ebert and Roeper, RottenTomatoes, Society as a whole, etc.), but for all those who only gave my all-time favorite film TWO STARS out of FOUR, sleep well with the knowledge that there is a silver bullet/holy water/stake combo awaiting you in San Antonio, Texas. You have been warned.
As for the other pictures posted today, I do have an explanation. Tuesday night I was bored (kind of an insomniac, fyi), so I decided to braid my hair. Then I fell asleep. And then I woke up to find that what was formerly my limp and lifeless hair had been evicted by an utterly fluffy neighbor. Lets call him Rico. Now, Rico only gets worse when I attack him with a fine tooth comb, as I unfortunately found out a bit too late. So I pretty much went out into the public with my crazy hair. Mitch kept making remarks about how Brooke has "brad pitt hair" today. (long story, see my video) But I managed to snap a couple pictures of Rico before he was murdered in a vicious showering accident that evening. Still under investigation.
And below we have the news article describing how Jason Mills, the Phantom of the show I saw earlier this month, gets into his makeup! Once again, let us remember the amazingness that was PotO. But hey- I got my freaking awesome poster up!!!! Here is a video for everybody who has never seen Van Helsing and needs to know of it's sheer greatness. Going to Six Flags tomorrow- be on the lookout for udpates! Adios

A LOT to catch up on!
Well, I finally synched up the digital camera, so here are some pictures for your enjoyment! To put a caption on the pics, the ones of me and Lois are us before/after seeing PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!!! *moment of silence to remember how freaking awesome it was* Sigh. Great stuff. The ones with the rocket are us at the of the Houston Space Center, where we were YESTERDAY. We also nearly collided with a herd of runaway cattle. Long story. And last of all- Mitchell's entirely fantastic naruto sims! I just walked into the room and there they were. Who would of thought he had it in him? I've been doing quite a bit of simming myself lately- mostly recreating the plantation of Pointe Du Lac due to my little mini-contest with Pyro. I'll be posting a picture as soon as it's furnished and ready! Otherwise...SPRING BREAK!!! And nearly everyone I know is out of town...including Jeff and Tami Francis, who came to visit us this weekend- which has been really nice, by the way. Also took my first jump into the pool two days ago. Lots of screaming there. Still very, very, VERY cold. But it was about 96 that day too, so it's all good! Anyhoo, everybody enjoy their weekends, and soak up what little sunlight you might be having!

It's Movie Time!!!!
Alright everybody- this saturday was one which shall remain in the lasting memory of all who were involved. Why?
Two words. Sugar and Caffiene.
Well, maybe not so much caffiene, but there was definitely candy in the house when Lois and I decided to film a remake of the 1994 film Interview with the Vampire. We rented it at blockbuster, then filmed before actually watching it. I'd never actually seen it before, but we worked from a screenplay, and voila! Movie magic. In the early hours of evening, our casting pretty much consisted of this.
LOIS: So, who do you wanna be?
BROOKE: I dunno. Lets ask your mom.
LOIS: MOM!!! WHO SHOULD BE LOUIS AND LESTAT???
MRS. W: Hmmm. How about Brooke be Louis and Lois be Lestat?
BROOKE/LOIS: Okay!
However, for anybody who is familiar with that motley crew of angst-ridden, bloodthirsty undead, we managed to mess that one up pretty bad!!!
And as blogger-in-chief, I get my commentary, right? Read as you watch.
http://www.veoh.com/videos/v6383515WsTf2rK6?searchId=8959781778680929777&rank=1
BLOCKBUSTER: Basically, this was me with a fully charged camera and waaaay too much time on my hands!
MEET MALLOY: Okay, I got to give Lois five-o-clock shadow!!!! *laughs evilly* And managed to deliver my lines with a piece of tissue in my mouth. Long story.
LIGHT SWITCH: Hehehehe....Lois lurves her artificial facial hair.
MY MONOLOGUE: Okay, long story here. Basically, I look quite fearful here because of both costume makeup and the fact that I couldn't stop laughing. Behind the scenes...
BROOKE: It was 1791...
LOIS: The year the funk died. (Old greg joke, hence the subtitle)
---------------
BROOKE: But I was a man then.
LOIS: Brooke!!!???
Onward....
WAYS IN WHICH I TRY TO "END IT": Okay, given we had no card playing extras or bars at hand, we had to invent ways in which a despondent Louis would try to throw it all away. That involved scarfing down 8 nilla wafers (I only managed 7), unsuccessfully tying a noose out of Lois's fantastic sparkly scarf, and pretending to gouge the sadly blunt pasta implement we found on the counter into my neck. End long story!
OUTDOORS: First, when I walk down the street, yes, I am wearing basketball shorts. Not going to force Brad Pitt's character into a skirt, ya hear me?
Second, yes, we all know that Lois is going to be the most fabulous Lestat in existence. Needs no explanation.
And third: YES, SHE ACTUALLY TACKLED ME!!!! This is one of many violent acts Lois will commit in the next few minutes... (also- enjoying her killing noise? Lovin my first of many death scenes?)
DEATHBED PT. 1: Okay, those lipstick puncture wounds? I couldn't get them off in time for church the next morning. Lots of interesting questions resulted.
DOOR OPENING: I think she just really likes saying Louis. Don't we all? Also- lovin my delightful slurping noise?
DEATHBED PT. 2: We really screwed up here. I pretty tried to mask my laughter with pain and misery, while Lois forget her lines!!!! :^J
WE HAVE TO KILL SOMEONE, OF COURSE: DID YOU SEE THAT??? LOIS SLUGGED RACHEL!!! (her sister, fyi) That was so funny, I have to say.
ITS A RAT: That stuff that was meant to be blood but looks more like champagne is actually FUZE drink. Great stuff. I downed the whole thing once we were off camera.
FILLER SCENES: Again with the killing noise. Love it. Anyhow, here we get a much-needed glimpse into the personal lives of our fav vampires. Enjoy!
COFFIN: Okay, this scene will last for all living memory, mostly because (a) it is a toy bin, (b) it is freakishly small, even for a toy bin, and (c), I couldn't get out. It took ALL my upper body strength to escape, believe me.
ENTER THE HUSKY: Okay, we originally had a relatively large cast base, since Lois has multiple siblings, but Hannah and Rachel were both occupied with sleep or otherwise, so we had to improvise. So we dressed up a husky. And improvise we did!
MY DOG, CLAUDIA: Okay, our Claudia is actually named Julia and was at that late hour of night waaay past her bedtime as it was. So we got to reenact the attack of Claudia....with a husky. Words cannot describe how strange I felt sinking my nonexistnent fangs into a stuffed animal. Poor husky.
THE DUET MONOLOGUE: Yay, we actually memorized part of our lines! As this was the last scene of part one, we both worked on our lines to perfection, and delivered them! (try to not notice that, even with makeup on, Texans will always be ridiculously more tan than washingtonians. Gr.)
AND THE REST OF THE FILM IS PRETTY MUCH "SPECIAL FEATURES", so ENJOY!
Other than that, we got some interesting reactions from this whole affair, so I just though I ought to post those as well!
RACHEL (upon seeing Lois in Malloy outfit): So, did you break into the oreos or what?
----
(as we messed around with the camera)
BROOKE: This thing makes your eyes look black.
LOIS: It makes yours....hm....kind of stormy grey.
*pause*
BROOKE: *in strong british accent* AHM STORMY GREY!!!!
LOIS: *falls over*
(also old greg joke, don't try to comprehend that one)
----
BROOKE: (looking at Julia) She'd be the perfect Claudia.
LOIS: Lets test. Julia, bite my wrist, okay? (Julia....complies) NOT REALLY!!!!!!
BROOKE: Perfect Claudia!
----
JULIA: (to brooke) I think you're good cause you're the strongest and you've got vampire teeth!
----
FOLLOWING COMMENTS MADE WHILE WATCHING MOVIE
LOIS: (seeing Brad Pitt) He really does have your hair.
BROOKE: I KNOW, RIGHT???
----
LOIS: (following Armand scene) And you thought Lestat was flamboyant.
So, thats that, and have a wonderful week!
(ps- shoutout to Dad in Hawaii- do a hula for me!)

The February Vidblog
Hi again! I just got the webcam to work, so as soon as youtube is finished processing, you can check out my new video. Just search "mradrz4evr". Enjoy! Oh, and be sure to check my freewebs site, www.freewebs.com/mradrz4evr, for Twilight Movie updates, all the fans out there. I run a tight ship with that thing lately, and no update/cast member/interview escapes my penetrating search abilities! Comments help, FYI.
