Twihard.....The Twilight Saga and Me

So I picked up on this phenomenon call the "Twilight Saga" , books by Stephenie Meyer. I was intrigued by a Mormon mom who writes a story about vampires, so I bit...(sorry) and bought the books. I am now a "breathless neophyte" completely addicted. I read all four books in 10 days. easy to do when you can't put them down. Eating and sleeping becane a burden. I fretted over the last book, torn between wanting to find out what happens to Bella and Edward and not wanting it to ever end. I finished and immediately started reading it again. I can't quite explain it. I seem to be way past "suspension of disbelief" and well on my way to not being able to separate reality from fiction. In my mind, it seems so real. A real place to escape. I know, I know... I am worried about my grip on reality, too. However, I am not suffering from insanity but wrather enjoying it. I am trying to figure out which book I can get my next "high" from when I finish the series this time. If only I had the genius to be able to write a story like that myself....now I need to go wash my "Team Edward" shirt.

Breaking into the 21st century

So I decided that I needed to join the rest of the world and take advantage of a great way to keep in touch with friends and family, which spreads out more each year....I need a blog. I guess it is true that change can only occur when the solution to the problem (of my internet/technology ineptitude) becomes less painful than the problem. So here I sit, determined to figure out what the heck I am doing. Here it goes. More later.
