Hi! Long time no see. I felt the overwhelming urge to post, so here I am! :)

I've really gotten back into reading. I was such a snob about eBooks. I pretty much huffed and decided that I liked REAL books. If I paid money for a book, then by gosh - I wanted something to physically set on my bookshelf. Pffft. Now? Not so much. I'm a COMPLETE eBook convert!! OMG I LOVE the ease and convenience of eBooks. Yes, I've gone to the Dark Side...and I LIKE it. ;) 

So I'm all reading and carrying on with my Samsung Galaxy Tablet and I'm loving it. I look back at myself, with my nose turned up at eBooks, and I marvel at my lack of understanding. What was I thinking?! Obviously, I wasn't! Duh! 

I've also discovered Goodreads, and I love it. So if you're a reader, get over there and friend me (shoot me a message there and tell me your LJ name so I'll know who you are!) and start reviewing! It's fun I say! :P I just finished Anna Dressed In Blood, which was awesome....and I'm now reading Dead Until Dark (finally!!).

Oh, and I've also discovered Vampire Diaries. I've been cramming to get ready for S4 that starts next month. I just finished S2 tonight, and I have S3 ordered from Amazon. When it first aired, I tried to watch, but when Vicky was turned....I hated her SO much that I stopped watching. So very glad that my dear friend, previously known as rikki_oko, talked me into giving it another try. Because shortly after the annoying Vicky...the show became CRAZY GOOD. *squee* I adore Damon, and ship the heck outta some Damon/Elena.

Also, I'm going on a fabulous trip with a wonderful friend in a few days! We're going to visit her family in Fairfax, VA, and while there we're going to NYC for 1 night, and Rehoboth Beach in Delaware for 1 night!! I'm so freaking excited!! I've never been to that part of the country and I'm looking forward to it so much. Plus, we're going to the Smithsonian, which has been a total nerd dream of mine since I was a kid!! EEeeeEEeeEEEEeeeee! We're going to shop till we drop, and try all kinds of fabulous restaurants. It's going to be SO AWESOME. Complete girl nirvana!! <3 :D

Before I post my rambly thoughts on the second book of the series, I want to say once again thank you to everyone for their get well wishes, hugs, and prayers. They all worked like a charm because today is the second day that I've been sans vertigo!!  \o/  I'm so relieved that it's gone, I can't even tell you.

It's been a few months since I read New Moon, so this may be pretty sketchy, but it's what stuck with me and I guess that's what matters.
