Distraction

Well, I've finally given into to the frenzy and I've decided to start reading the Twilight Saga. I started reading the first book my freshman year of college, became bored and quickly gave it up. However, I've decided to pick it up again, all preconceived notions aside and give it another go.
I'm pleasantly surprised. Maybe being in love makes it easier to read love stories, or maybe the heavy dose of classics, Shakespeare and literary analysis I've been smothered with over the last two years makes it much easier to read trash novels. More affectionately dubbed "fluff" novels.

I take no stock in vampires and I must remind myself it is in fact young adult literature. And as long as I can keep the images of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson out of my head, I'm satisfied, actually quite engaged. For once, I've actually seen the movies before I've read the books and I like the books way better than the movies, as is the trend of course. I'm just annoyed by the fact that I can't imagine my own versions of characters for once. Boohoo, right?

Okay, back to real life. I'm anticipating a hair change soon. I'm thinking a perm and darker.
A, la, Khloe...?I'm ready for another change and I'm missing the dark hair.

Vacation update:
Carova Island is a whole 'nother world. It's remote and living here with locals makes you unnaturally angry towards tourist. Even though we are visitors ourselves, being here with locals and knowing the in's and out's makes you readily pretentious.

A little taste...

Bliss...
