Beth F. replied to JennL's discussion Grown Up, Sucked In.......And Loving It!"I started reading it online while I was in the middle of rereading "Eclipse". It was great to switch back and forth between the books. I had a little bit of a hard time getting into it at first, but then it took off. This was a part of the…"
Beth F. replied to kellylovesedward's discussion edward's changing appearance"I would agree with that fact that they had him dressing more maturely in New Moon makes him seem older. He also looked slimmer, so no baby fat! The makeup was a little harsher in the first film plus his eyes were a better color in the second movie.…"
Beth F. replied to Leah Soo's discussion So what do You guys think about guys liking the Twilight Saga"I think it's both cute and open minded. My son and husband aren't interested in reading the books and didn't really like Twilight the movie, but I don't hold it against them. They are supportive of my interest and even baked me a…"
Beth F. replied to crs's discussion Wrist band?"If you think about it, other than the fact it was a marketing idea for the movie, it's kind of an old fashioned idea to wear jewelry based on family connections. It probably goes back to medieval times when the nobles had to proclaim their…"
Beth F. replied to crs's discussion Wrist band?"I think in one of the books about the making of Twilight the movie, they talk about how they created the Cullen crest for the movie and what the symbolism is. Even though it's not in the book, it's a very clever marketing idea."
Beth F. replied to samantha's discussion on the death of Anne Brontë"To answer my own question, I bing'd Charlotte and read her bio. Emily died Dec. 1848, then six months later Anne died in May 1849. So that has to be Charlotte losing both her sisters to consumption or TB as we call it today."
Beth F. commented on samantha's blog post No Title"Edgar Allen Poe. I just read through this quickly very recently at an exhibit on "Fear" at OMSI in Portland. There was a pile of books, and this was like a kid's illustrated book. It's nice to read again without the hurry. I…"

New Song
Posted on April 2, 2010 at 12:30pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
OK, so I wrote this song on Monday. I was noodling around on the guitar and found a really cool cord, built a progression, then started singing to it. The first four lines came pretty easily then I started crying. I really wasn't feeling sad at all until the song started happening, so I have no idea where it's coming from. I can hear an arrangement in my head with piano, strings, and a dreamy harmony.
If life is just a shadow show
Then what is real, I do…

Silver Moon on silent wings
Crosses over the magic stream.
Fallen angel softly sings
Of sweet surrender in my dreams.
Fairy tales come true here
Just knock three times on the wooden door.
If you are open you will not fear
When the one who answers you have known before.
Captive bird in an ivory cage
Sings so sweetly of a helpless rage.
All you fear is in your mind.
Just change your thinking, leave it all behind.

Midnight Sun-Original Song Lyrics
Posted on July 19, 2009 at 2:00pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
So I started writing this song in January when we got a few nights of a beautiful blue twilight with a sharp, crystal evening star (Venus). I was really entranced by Midnight Sun and the chapter where Edward falls in love with Bella while watching her sleep. I became posessed by writing the lyrics and getting them just right. I'm pretty proud of the song and will record it later and post it. Its got a folk feel to it.

Haunted by the Ghosts of Spring
Posted on April 16, 2009 at 5:08pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
So this is impossible to describe. But I will try because I am haunted by the spectre of Spring. Each day brings visible change. Each brush stroke of light breathes life into the landscape. Driving down the freeway and watching the trees fly by, I am continually amazed by patterns and colors that there are no words to describe. A tall cottonwood tree growing next to a field. You can see the grey structure of it, but it is veiled in spotted green. Big leaf maples that dot the hills are a… Continue
The Opposite of Impressionism
Posted on April 10, 2009 at 5:47pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
A Spring tree is the opposite of an Impressionist painting. In looking at an Impressionist painting, when you walk up close, it becomes very abstract. When you step back, it comes together. Spring trees with their sprouting leaves from a distance become an abstract tangle of lines with a haze of dots, dashes, and splashes of green. Up close they reveal their structure. Newborn leaves hatch in orgami folds made by fairy fingers. Unfolding to their embryonic purpose like butterfly wings.… Continue

- Wow! San Diego sounds so nice! It just hit 60 degrees where I live and I'm enjoying every minute of it! I haven't had my spring break yet. Unfortunately I have to wait until next month to enjoy a break from school.
My sister is doing great now, thanks for asking. She divorced her husband and is now happily married to a responsible, caring man, with whom she now has a baby girl with. This is her second child, but unfortunately her first is with his father(her first husband) in Tenessee so she never gets the chance to see him. But she is working on it. She recently found a job and is hoping to prove responsible enough to get her son back.

- I've looked at Etsy a few times but it's not something I'm interested in using. I etch glass upon request. I hate making it ahead of time and people not wanting what I did. I have my own personal site with all my information about my glass etching services and such. Have a look if you'd like :)
