My first attempt . . .

This is my first attempt at blogging, so please excuse the rudimentary fashion of this post. Mostly, this is simply an attempt to see if I can do it correctly. In response to Kim's last entry regarding Revolutionary Road, I have already decided to avoid the book entirely and possibly the movie. Not sure I can handle hearing the story without becoming irreversibly depressed. I am most interested to hear your critique of the Twilight series. I, too, took my shameful turn in reading the series - and this exactly what I felt as I turned each page - shame. I definitely share in part of Kim's assessment - absolute predictability. The series was also HORRIBLY written - I can't even begin to provide a detailed explanation of why because there is simply too much to say. However, I cannot deny that my easily entertained mind found the story interesting - particularly the concept of having forever to live without the inconvenience of even sleeping. Since reading the series the first time - yes, that's right, the FIRST time - I haven't been able to stop cataloguing all the things I would use my eternity for: go back to school and become an archaeologist, travel to every country, finally learn French . . .

As you can see from my profile, I've decided to reclaim my personality in a way. It's so easy to get caught up in school, study, career, work, home, husband, baby . . . that you forget the things you used to do for yourself. I regret to say I've fallen into that very trap. So I've decided as of late that I will pick up where I left in college and start living MY life again, without placing so much importance on where each step I take will lead me. I may start writing again, maybe take dance lessons . . . whatever. In all I do in the next however long period of my life, I do promise that I am making the commitment to be a more consistent blogger and more available friend.

Congrats to Bon on returning to work - Congrats to Caro on your engagement and setting the date!
