My Newest Addiction

My new favorite series is the Twilight series. For some reason this series draws very strong opinions, positive and negative-very few people "kinda like" or "kinda don't like" the books. I love them myself. Like the title says, I'm addicted.

It's about this ordinary girl Bella Swan who moves to a place she hates-Forks, WA- to live with her father so her mother can move around with her new baseball player husband. There she falls for a fellow student, seventeen-year-old Edward Cullen, who turns out to be a vampire-he's been seventeen "for a while". She constantly gets into trouble-trouble only Edward and his "vegetarian" (no feeding on humans) family can get her out of. Werewolves are added to the mix in New Moon (second book in the series), the main one being Bella's best friend Jacob Black. It's a great series by Stephenie Meyer-but don't believe the hype one way or another; if you're into romance, fantasy, or both read the books and decide for yourself.

Mystery of the missing women

There should be more women than men in the world: that is not a sexist statement, it is a fact. Though men are often seen as more resilient and stronger, according to Mayfield Geographic Department, women are actually hardier, have a better chance of survival at every stage of life, and have a longer life expectancy; yet there are more men than women. Demographic experts say this is the result of continued preference to males in Asian countries like China.

It's All Good!

I haven't updated my blog in so long I'm surprised they haven't cancelled it. The guy who was the subject of "Cats Who Love Dogs" and I made up- but now we're broke up. I did what was best for both of us and ended the relationship. And it's all good. Since I broke up with that former special someone of mine, I got admitted and offerred a scholarhsip to my first-choice college, I'm becoming a god-mother (which is good & bad- good a beautiful baby is coming into the world, but maybe bad timing for the mother- she at least seems to be really happy so it might not be to her), and I have time to do whatever I please. No worrying about some guy and where he is or anything else, except for the precious bundle of joy that is, or at least will be, my god-child coming into the world in mid to late October. College will be a new adventure and so will this new role I'm assuming in life and I can't wait to see where they take me.
