Chronicles and a little Twilight

I never was good at keeping a journal. But, I never wanted to forget anything I have been through either. My sister has collected maybe 10 journals through the years, she has written in one after another . She used to write in them all the time. It would inspire me to write in my own journal, but I would never keep it up. Since technology allows us now to blog on the web, I have decided this is my way of keeping track of my life, and things I think about. I think it would be interesting to read back what I wrote, and what I was thinking at that time and age to reminisce. So maybe, you might see me posting blogs reminiscing of my trips to Europe with Sophie and Casey. Or maybe the memories I had of my dad and grandfather. Or even my high school times with my best friends, being a cheerleader, and being on the dance team. Also, meeting my good friends from College, and how I decided to do what I ended up doing. Those were too good of times to forget!

I think this is my time to try things I thought I would never like. Take reading for example! I was forced in High School to pick from a list of 5 books, and to choose 3 for my summer reading ever year. How would every single person in my class be interested in all 3 books they had to choose? The only one I remember liking was the book Hiroshima and maybe the Shakespeare novels. Other than that, I was not interested. I think I didn’t like being forced to do things, and so I learned to see it as a punishment rather than a hobby or favorite past time. Until…… Twilight came to Earth! My mom laughed over the phone when I told her what I had accomplished in reading the series. I read all four books in 6 weeks! For some people like my sister, that’s nothing. To me, that’s everything!! I read the 2nd book in three days. That is unheard of in my brain! I loved the story, and I wanted to read more and more! Ian didn’t like it so much when I came home from work and darted straight for my book, reading it until 11 or 12 at night; he sort of felt like the neglected child. Well, at least it passed quickly! Besides The Notebook, Twilight was the only other book I read before seeing the movie. THIS began my newfound love for reading. Granted, I have not picked up another book yet, but I plan to get to the bookstore soon or take a suggestion from my sister.

Blogging, reading, writing, getting glasses, I have become a nerd.
