Do you want to know why?

It's because I've tanned again. In fact I am so tan that I have two white dots ON MY NOSE where my glasses rest.

Huhuhuhu :((

And the tops of my arms are brown too, but the bottoms aren't. I am a two-toned Oreo cookie.

Huhuhuhu :((

Yeah well, I may be a little late on the news but as of mid-August the upcoming Georgia Nicolson movie based on Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging has been cancelled due to lack of funds. :'(

Another upcoming movie will be about the life of Alice McKinley (another of my four gallies, after Georgia and Alice McLeod and Angelica Cookson Potts). It is currently in pre-production and will star Alyson Stoner [Cheaper by the Dozen; The Suite Life of Zack and Cody] as Alice and Lucas Grabeel as her brother.

Not a great choice casting, IMHO. Alyson does not look a thing like Alice and I doubt she will make a very good one, and Lucas Grabeel looks a lot younger than Lester. Besides, who can ever forget that Lucas is also known as Sharpay's accomplice in High School Musical? The casting has forever ruined my - and other girls' - images of the characters. Parker McKenna Posey [My Wife and Kids] as Elizabeth? Who ever said that Liz was black? Gwen is supposed to be, not Liz. If they wanted diversity they should've saved it for Gwen. The only person who looks perfect for the role is, to me, Bridgit Mendler as Pamela. Only she has short blond hair instead of long brown.

The movie is about Alice, Elizabeth and Pamela as 11-year olds - that's when the books started. In case you don't know, the Alice McKinley books total about 20 and are still counting. The author, Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, started it in the 80's. Since then, many young girls have been reading and growing up with Al (myself included) and to date we've been with her through five years. Alice is now 16.

The movie's based on the very first book Alice in Agony, but is called Alice Upside Down. It's set when we first met Al five years ago, when she was 11. So the book's pretty old - it was written in 1985 - and the movie version's been updated. I bet my bottom dollar it won't be anything like the original.

You see, that's what ruins everything. Millions of girls, some of them already mothers, have been with Alice for twenty years and many tears. They have a really good idea what she's like. They - we - know her and we feel like we're close friends or occasionally, that we are her. And then WHAM, this new movie comes along, and the concept of Alice is totally ruined. From the change of title to the looks of the actors to the flow of the story, Alice is different. It is nothing like what we've always known. They might call her Alice McSomething for all we care. I hope this movie is going to be cancelled as well. Or, at the very least, recast.

But there is no hope for that, as they are halfway through. Alice fans UNITE!!! Do not watch the movie!!!

Huh. Well. Now that there's an upcoming (blah-sounding) Alice McKinley movie, an upcoming (cancelled) Georgia Nicolson movie, and a currently airing (mediocre) Alice McLeod series on Canadian TV, all we need to see is Angelica Cookson Potts made into something. It better be good after all the disappointment.

...really seem to be the best/most good-looking fish in the big blue sea of life (for me that is). Hmm I may be going a bit boy-crazy but I blame that on the atmosphere. I mean there are a lot of white guys here who are really umm, "gorgey and hot", the best being Brits (but I have yet to see a real live one). I say this not because I've been reading the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (although yes, that is what made me remember) but because it is a fact. Or maybe because I have been deprived of white boys all my life. But whatever, British accents are really endearing. And so white guys + British accents = HOTNESS!! (I hate talking like this but sadly it is true. Well maybe not always since Prince William is a fairly ordinary-looking bloke save the fact that he is British and a prince, which would only add to his dreamboat factor. But if I didn't know him and passed him on the street I wouldn't even look twice. Unless of course he spoke. That would merit a second glance. But of course, I know he is a prince, so he is on my British Boy list. And besides I don't know anybody who isn't a celebrity who also happens to be from the U.K.)

PRESENTING...THE LIST OF CHOSEN ONES!! Click to enlarge.

Number One is, of course, the one and only, and probably the most famous, His Royal Highness William Arthur Philip Louis Windsor, Prince of Wales!! (Also known as Wills, Willy, Wombat, Dreamboat Willy, Billy the Basher, the Prince of Wails and His Naughtiness). Go Wills!!

I guess I never mentioned it but this is not the first I have seen (and heard and liked) about Alex. In fact when I saw the poster for Stormbreaker last year I immediately thought ooooo scrumboes and I did not even see the movie! I will cease Georgia-speak for now 'til we find out for sure. He looks almost exactly like I imagined Dave before I remembered he had ginger hair!! And that is a big thing. Whoever plays Georgia is a lucky lucky ducky girl (hmm let's see, a Sex God, a Luuurve God and the double cool with knobs Dave who is also a laugh!) plus she gets to BE Georgia! I am green with envy (or maybe it is because of pickles). Let's just hope, like beekee said, that SHE BETTER BE GOOD. As good as the British boys look (just think, all that unmined treasure!!) *snortsnort*

P.S. Alex is a chest barer?! No really!! Type Alex Pettyfer in Photobucket and see what you get. Make sure no one's looking over your shoulder or it might be mistaken for...you know. Hairy underarms.
