twilight

I have recently read the Twilight Series written by Stephenie Meyer. It's strange because i have never read 2500 pages so quickly. I read the first 500 pages in one night. Then the next book in one evening and a bit of the next morning. The other two books shortly following with a night each. Its so strange. I haven't ever been much of a reader, but this series caught my attention immensely. It is basically about falling in love with someone you shouldn't fall in love with, but since, after all, it is love, you cannot control it no matter how incredibly hard you try.
I haven't really ever experienced this predicament personally, but as i was reading, i felt so in the story. It was incredible. Meyer writes in such a way that when you read the words in your head, you almost feel as if you are saying them yourself. Also, it didn't help much that am sort of similar to the narrator, Bella. We are both sort of reserved and we both enjoy learning about people, but wont force it. If no one talked to us, we wouldn't feel forced to talk to them either. Some other people just go straight up to others and push themselves on them. i despise that sort of attention. i feel like i should be in a store sometimes when people try to advertise themselves to me.
Anyways, my brother is getting engaged this month (December) and i feel like i am just lagging behind. Since we are only 18 months apart, i feel as if i should be seriously dating someone right now, to be engaged in 1 1/2 years, and then married. However, i haven't really found anyone yet at JBU or elsewhere. Sure, there have been some who were possibilities, but i just haven't really met anyone who was my "Edward" :) which is okay i suppose. I am getting impatient though. I'm tired of being the only single one at parties or family events etc. it isn't anybody else's fault, however i do find myself getting irritated by them so easily.
I have three weeks left of this semester then i am moving out of Mayfield into a house with Libby Redditt and Danielle Vogus. I am extremely excited and looking forward to it very much. I do not enjoy living in mayfield at all really anymore. I think i am just not a "dorm" type or person. I like having my personal space and being able to just choose to either have alone time or have people over.
Right now i am watching Brideshead Revisited with my parents, Scott, Jimena, and little Morgan is sleeping in his "pack and play". I babysat him today while the others went to see a movie and got sushi. It was fun, today was the first snow day of the year, so we just sat and watched the snow for ages. It is such a beautiful thing...

well. i had better get back to writing papers. i have so much to do this week. :( i guess it is a part of college. eh? :)
