Jackiefk replied to Donna the OlderWoman's discussion Was it just a hoax??????? in the group OlderWomanGroup"I think you've nailed it."
Jackiefk replied to Donna the OlderWoman's discussion Was it just a hoax??????? in the group OlderWomanGroup"I know it's easy to be cynical, but I don't think it was a hoax. I don't think Kristen and Rob seem like people who would do something like that simply because they've always come off as such private individuals. If…"
Jackiefk replied to Mrs.Cope's discussion Conventions and Meet Ups in the group OlderWomanGroup"Wow! What great plans! Sure hope I can make something! "
Jackiefk replied to twilightmomlg's discussion OWG Convention 2013 in the group OlderWomanGroup"I've no idea about July, but I'd certainly like to try! Your Oct plans sound great, but I definitely doubt I can make that (bummer!). Oct has always turned out super busy, so I won't vote on that. Sure would love to…"
Jackiefk replied to Donna the OlderWoman's discussion Share Your Christmas Decorations! in the group OlderWomanGroup"I'll be at my Mom's for the next two months, but I don't think my husband would let me go totally Twilight on the decorations even so (sigh, no real sense of style that man!) :-D And I still don't know how to…"
Jackiefk replied to Donna the OlderWoman's discussion Share Your Christmas Decorations! in the group OlderWomanGroup"That would be lovely!"
Jackiefk replied to christa's discussion Ending for BD2 in the group OlderWomanGroup"Agreed. The book ending's action was more like a mental chess game, which works fine in print but hard to do in film. I figure Stephenie would make sure it's translated well, and I think Melissa R has done a good job to date,…"
Jackiefk replied to Staci M.'s discussion Snow White and the Huntsman- SPOILERS in the group OlderWomanGroup"Hey, is anyone familiar with the historical sick nutcase Elizabeth Bathory, the Blood Countess? I think they drew upon her story for some of the character of Ravenna, Snow White's nemesis; however, Ravenna is a downright sweetie compared…"
Jackiefk replied to Staci M.'s discussion Snow White and the Huntsman- SPOILERS in the group OlderWomanGroup"Interesting! Well, it should get design and cinematography nods next year at the very least. Excellent effects. Every time I've seen it, I try to read where the filming took place (if you check the credits at the end: filming…"

Profile Information
- Five Things Everyone Should Know About You?
- 1) I'm a horrible, incurable romantic.
2) I'm a bibliophile, cinephile (film fan), theatre fan, and I love "Kid Lit" as well as "regular"; plus, I like vampire stories, some "horror" of the classic kind only (don't care for the "Omenesque" and hate the "stab and slash.")
3) Former English major and English writing instructor (wish I could write fiction; I admire and envy Meyer!)
4) Love to communicate with other fans of my fave hobbies and interests
5) I cry at a drop from an inkwell: Bambi's mother dyingk, Beth in Little Women, Edward thinking he's hurt Bella, Bella thinking of losing Renesme, Bella & Edward's wedding (I always cry at weddings), Edward's "farewell" to Bella, Res, and Jacob
- When Did You First Read Twilight (year) and how many times have you read a Twilight Book (total)?
- I'm a late-comer. I only read them for the first time earlier this year, and am now on my second go-'round. 3/18/09--now it's three. I keep re-reading.
- Team Edward or Team Jacob? Why?
- Oh, that's hard because they're both terrific guys. I guess Edward just barely edges out Jacob for me because I have a thing for the sexy vampire: Frank Langella's Dracula, David Borantz (sp?)'s Angel, etc., and in horror literature, it's my favorite, but I also find American Indian cultures facinating and the people beautiful/attractive, so it's hard. Edward also has the edge for me because I like Meyer's connections to both Romeo and Heathcliff and the intensity of the passion there. I'm part Italian; we like the "passione" :-)
- Which Character Are You Most Like?
- According to some test I took online for fun, Bella, according to another: Esme. I was never as slender and attractive as Bella, but when I was young, our coloring was similar, and of all the characters our likes and personalities match best--not entirely, I was always more verbose and theatrical (a few of Alice's traits but not the "graceful" or petite), but the wry sense of humor, the insecurities, the clutizness put me closest to her, the traits that make her so universal.
- Favorite Books
- To Kill a Mockingbird, Traveller In Time by Alison Uttley, Romeo & Juliet and most Shakespeare, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Pride & Prejudice, Emma, Sense & Sensibility, Little Women and Alcott's novels, Celia Garth, Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising Series, Elswyth Thane's Dawn's Early Light series, Gone with the Wind, Harry Potter series, Lord of the Rings series and the Hobbit, and now Meyer's Twilight series
- What is Your Favorite Music
- Rachmoninoff's 18th Variation on a Theme by Paganini, Debussy's Claire de Lune, Williams' Recuerdos de la Alhambra, romantic classical, Chopin, Puccini, Verdi, Bizet's Carmin; Soundtracks: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Somewhere in Time; John Barry; Irish folk music; English and American folk music, musicals, Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, Torch songs, light rock, Glen Miller and "In the Mood"
- Favorite Movies, TV Shows, Games:
- Zefferelli's Romeo & Juliet; Now Voyager; Casablanca,; Moonstruck; Somewhere in Time; West Side Story; My Fair Lady; The Wizard of Oz; Sound of Music; Young Frankenstein; To Kill a Mockingbird; Tomasina; Oliver; Star Wars; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Twilight; Dirty Dancing; Lord of the Rings I,II, III; Titanic; TV's Beauty and the Beast; NCIS; Magnum, PI; Castle; Games: Trivial Pursuit, Scene It; Scrabble
- Favorite Quotes:
- "It profiteth a man nothing to gain the world and lose his soul"--King James' Bible
"Money goes places; it just...goes!" - Tennesse Williams' Streetcar Named Desire
"Oh, I'm so confused!" - George Bernard Shaw's Overruled
"My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep. The more I give to thee, the more I have for both are infinite." --Shakespeare, Romeo&Juliet
"Just keep swimming!" - Dory, Finding Nemo
- Favorite Activities
- reading, travel, singing, animals, teaching/working w/kids, theatre
