This week bites and not in the potentially-good-vampy way... "Stephenie" was supposed to be a "Stephen," or so the story goes. You can find all sorts of good stuff (and some not so good stuff) at SM's website but BE CAREFUL poking around until you've finished all four books. after that I'll be more than happy to provide links to all sorts of fun shit.

But would have still been all, "ummm...rpatt...mmmmmmmm" drool, snarf. And thank you for the spelling correction on Mrs. Meyer's given name, I would love to be enlightened as to the reason for the inappropriate use of the vowel "e." Don't know exactly why creative spelling irks me so, but ugh. I am trying to plow through Eclipse now - it's tough though because I have these, you know, kids who actually want attention. From me! That leaves 8pm on for reading. Some nights I can blow through until 1am, but last night I was passing out at 10:30. LIGHT WEIGHT! So you gonna sneak out of work with me or not?!?! heh heh heh...

I may have expressed my feelings for it with flames - lol. But now - meh - I don't care so much (is that completely terrible??? I can't decide). All I know is that life has been happier and funnier this last year (and I wasn't really lacking in either department beforehand). Can't knock it! Or yes, you CAN knock it - we do it all the time - but <i>that's</i> fun, too! P.S. If you're gonna join the cult you gotta spell The Leader's name right - it's "Stephenie" (yes I am sad to inform you that I know all these little details and I can even tell you why she ended up with that spelling because I am obsessed!). Oh - this somehow reminds me that SM had a half-finished draft of Twilight written from Edward's POV on her website (it's called Midnight Sun). YOU MUST GO READ NOW. Oooor after you finish Breaking Dawn. One of those. Work is over-rated (I would know). Midnight Sun is the PERFECT at-work on-screen reading. Just sayin'... (sorry so long!)
