Update on GulfAid!

Hello again, everyone! I'm dreadfully sorry for the delay, but writer's block is a dreadful thing. Anyway, I'd like to thank my friend Heleen for keeping me posted on the first and second rounds of bidding. As of July 10th, Gulf Aid raised $5916.00 in the first two rounds of bidding. The third round is due to start this week and is expected to go on for two weeks. So if you can, donate or bid! Thanks to everyone who's making this possible!

The Twilight Saga

It's amazing... I've posted twice in the past two days...

Well, today I'm posting about Twilight. Why, do you ask, do I put myself in the middle of the fight between Team Edward, Team Jacob, Team Twilight Sucks and Team Twilight is Brilliant? Quite simply, I live a short distance from Forks... I read and own all four books and I haven't seen any of the movies. I honestly don't mind the books and appreciate them for what they are; they're a collection of cheesy teen romance novels about different sorts of vampires and shapeshifting werewolves. I don't think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread, but neither do I consider them the most terrible novels ever published. They're like popcorn movies that you watch sheerly for enjoyment, nothing more. I'm not on a team; I just don't particularly care.

What does drive me crazy about the phenomenon is the constant stream of ADVERTISING! The movie ads have been on nearly every time I turn on the bloody TV. It gets very annoying very quickly. Oh, well, it'll all be over soon.
