Surf's Up Saturday- Twilight on the Brain

Ok, I am not ashamed to admit that I will join the millions of teenagers who swoon at the name Edward Cullen and are waiting very impatiently to see the movie Twilight. I read the first book about 2 weeks ago and haven't been able to put the series down. I was so desperate to read the final book that I downloaded the audio book to my laptop since that was the only thing available. =) (Seriously, read these books if you love a good romance mixed in with good old fashioned vampire mythology!!) I have been facinated with vampires since about 6th grade taking it to the point where I couldn't sleep unless my head was turned left since I read somewhere that vampires only bite the left side of your neck...yes I know that is totally silly! Here are some great sites and things devoted to vampires and Twilight by Stephanie Meyer!

Monstropedia- great resource for anyone interested in monsters, including vampires!

Craft: Make your own Vampire's Blood

What you need:
- 1 cup corn syrup
- Liquid soap
- Water
- Red food coloring
- Green food coloring (optional)
Steps:
1. In a bowl, mix the corn syrup with some water. Keep adding water until you get a thick consistency. 2. Add a few drops of liquid soap and mix it together. Note: Do not use if you have any skin allergies. 3. Add the red food coloring and put it in the fridge. Once it hardens, use it your face and body to turn into a scary vampire! Tip: If you want the blood to look more realistic, add a few drops of green food coloring.
