Break

Yesterday was the first real day of Summer Vacation for me, and what did I do? I loafed around the house and enjoyed my reading time. Summer break is always my break from reality, I would read till time ends if it weren't for the necessity of food and a bathroom.
Delving into the parallel universes in all three of the books (all of which are a part of a series) that I am reading currently.
The Raison Strain that will kill the world and send Earth to ruins, and in turn provide for the rise of tangible elements of good and evil beings (ie God and the Devil).
A world full of "vampyres" and a prep school for the "new-born" fledglings filled with all the usual preps, jocks, Daughters of Darkness, geeks, and loners.
Followed by a good dose of time travel and 17th century kilt-wearing Scotsmen.
And if you are a TV watching bum and cannot figure out what those books are, well, then I guess I must tell you. The Raison Strain is found in Ted Dekker's Circle Series, Black. While the very obvious "teen fiction" book (not the best read ever, not a challenge at all) about vampyres is found in the House of Night novels by P.C. and Kristin Cast, the first one being Marked, the book I am currently reading. And last but not least (by far), The Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon, the opening novel is the title of the series. This story I am listening to on audio rather than reading.
Quite clearly, delving into worlds unknown and drowning myself in letters on pages is a big hobby of mine. If reading three books at once astounds you, then be glad I didn't prattle off all the names of the books I just finished reading (over 20 checked out from my local library at once... tee-hee).
For those of you who don't read frequently, GET OFF YOUR LAZY BUTTS AND CRACK OPEN A GOOD BOOK! I'll gladly offer names to any of you who ask. It's soooooo much fun to read. Once you get into a good story, it grabs you and pulls you deep within and soon you find yourself 300 pages later and 2 hours gone with your mind swirling full of other people's lives. Amazing.

The Boyfriend

No, this is not about the play that my school put on last year entitled "The Boyfriend"... rather, this is about my boyfriend. June 13th will be our 8 month anniversary. This may not sound like much to anyone out of high school, but to maintain a relationship more than two weeks is an accomplishment to be proud of for any student.
A friend of mine was dead-set on getting me hooked up with one of her friends and she knew she would have to be careful with who she set me up with since I tend to be pretty leery of people. After some trial and error, she thought that Corey (and yes, I'm dropping the usage of cover-up code names), a friend of hers from school, would be an interesting match. So, Jordanne arranged everything back in October of 2007 over the internet (basically over IM) and the end result became that Corey took me to his Homecoming dance on the 13th of that month. Things progressed and now, here we are. We are steadily dating and there don't seem to be any major incompatibilities. He has just completed his Junior year of high school, and I my Sophomore year. Now that it is the summer we are no longer restricted to seeing each other every Saturday... :)
He plays the piano and soon enough I will post a video of him playing, it's just a matter of editing it to fit since my camera records on such a high resolution. Also, Corey is currently learning the Bass guitar. He is pretty good with computers and writing codes, also.
All because of Jordanne The Match Maker I am now in my first relationship. *Shouts* Thanks, Jordi!!
