My dear lovely livejournal! Please forgive me for my absence these past weeks. Life has been a pain in my ass and so in dealing with it, I have neglected my little writing haven here, and for that I apologize.
Here's a quick little update:
I am taking some time off of work in order to situate my medication. I have switched to some new stuff which is much better already but the unfortunate part is waiting and checking out the side-effects and whatnot. That has always been the most terrible part of this whole medication issue. Thankfully, this particular pill is proving to be quite fabulous and I haven't been feeling to many side effects, and I am starting to feel happier. Now granted I am able to get out of bed, but I am not completely up to par, but I am getting there and working hard so that I will be there eventually :)
Also, I have been on a reading extravaganza lately. It started with the Harry Potter books, of course. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ HARRY POTTER BOOK SEVEN STOP READING BECAUSE I AM SURE I WILL SPOIL SOMETHING FOR YOU. COME BACK AND READ WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED THE BOOK :) Now just a little note here, I am extremely attached to these books. These characters are real to me, friends and peers. So when someone dies in these books I mourn hardcore. Many of my friends and family were seriously worried about me when I start reading one of these books because I get so freakin distraught should anyone in my dear harry potter books become unhappy in anyway. I am seriously weirdly and over the top attached to these books. So i re-read 1-6 before reading the final 7th book in order to get my bearings again. Many thousands of tears and sleep-less nights ensued during this process. Many solitary full days gone by with me digesting book after book in my room and then the fateful day arrived when I started reading the 7th and final book. From chapter one, i was already totally bawling for several reasons: a.) It is the end of an era. Harry Potter has accompanied me through many stages of life and I love the entire Harry Potter world. b.) I am in love with Harry Potter. Seriously. Stop laughing. c.) Deaths occur within minutes of reading the 7th book!!!! So with a combination of all of these things I was a wreck throughout the entire book. Then with the deaths of Mad-Eye, Hedwig, Fred, Tonks, Lupin, Dobby, amongst other minor characters, I was on the brink of literlly crying a freaking river. Seriously. My parents and my dear brother were worried about me. You should have seen me at the death of Dumbledore. Inconsolable for weeks. Anyway, I finsished the book feeling better about the ending but already missing Harry and the gang and those who had passed. That journey was amazing and I am so happy to have these books. I love Harry potter and will miss starting these new journey's with each release of a new book but will be thrilled to read them over and over again and pass them along to my sisters and/or future children.
Also, I am an addict when it come to Stephenie Meyer's 'Twilight' Series. Holy crap, it is on the same level of obsession with my Harry Potter obsession. Absolutely addicted to Twilight and New Moon and with the release of Eclipse I was completely enthralled and once again inhaled the book in one sleepless night. If you have not read these books, YOU MUST DO IT NOW. SERIOUSLY. Go and read them now. You will not be able to stop... EVER.
So there, whew. Okay mostly I talked about books, but seriously, I have been doing nothing but reading lately, which has been more than fine with me since I have missed reading like this.
So I am back and I will try my darndest to never EVER stay away from livejournal that long ever again.
Now that I am out of good series though (Except for Twilight of course) Any and all suggestions of good books would be greatly appreciated!
LOVES TO ALL!!!

i was inconsolable for weeks after dumbledore as well. he was my absolute favorite character. <3
i bought "twilight" a couple weeks ago, but i've been reading other things and haven't had a chance to start. i have a friend who's completely addicted to the series as well. i still can't get over the fact that the writer is mormon and writing about vampires. it just doesn't compute in my head...
glad you are back. :)
