I've Given In ...

I usually don't like to do things that everyone else is doing b/c it's the cool thing to do (i.e. Harry Potter, skinny jeans - well besides the fact that I just don't look good in them, emo music ... you get the point). So when everyone started reading the Stephanie Meyer series, I decided I wasn't going to be cliche and read them too (besides the fact that they were apparently about vampires - just sounded so stupid to me). However, since I've been done with school, I've had a lot more free time that I've mostly been filling with copious amounts of TV-watching. Then on Saturday, Ryan and I went to Costco and were just browsing through the books (I was actually looking for the Hungry Girl cookbook) when I saw Twilight for only $6 something and thought 'why not, I have nothing better to do'.

So I brought it to work with me Monday and wasn't really planning on reading it unless I got really bored. Since we were training a new person to fill mine and Ryan's shift when I quit and Ryan goes to weekends, I was about to shoot myself out of boredom after lunch. By 7:00, I finally opened the book and started reading. Withing 20 minutes I knew I wasn't going to be able to put it down til I was done. I read until 10:30 when it was time to go home, then I read in the car as Ryan drove home, then I read until 3:30 in the morning, then I read in the car this morning while Ryan drove us around running errands. Needless to say, I read all 498 pages by 7:00 tonight. I'm so addicted! I fully intend on either borrowing Rachelle's New Moon if she calls me back tonight or going to WalMart to buy my own copy so I can read it at work tomorrow!
