Damn you, Amber!

For my birthday this year, my friend sent me three books from a series she'd read about vampire love. Now, I figured they'd be fun to read, but it wasn't really my preferred genre so I've been passing them by everyday in my bookshelf for months, until Friday night, that is, when I picked up the first one, Twilight... and now I am all finished. It was the best freakin' high school romance ever, and the vampires only made it better. I am now in love with Edward too! And I can hardly wait to get back to my house (I'm at my parent's for the weekend) to read the next book. This is just what I needed prior to finals. I'm all weird inspired to find the perfect guy now, because that's what a vampire book should do to you, right? NO! They're scary and want to suck you dry and leave you there, but noooooo, Edward's family is so good, and nice, and Edward is so, well, perfect! And Bella is hilariously self-deprecating. What will I do when I finish all three and have to wait until next August/September for the fourth to come out?! I hate series. Why can't they wait until they've written the whole set before they publish them? At least Stephenie Meyer looks young, so I don't have to worry about her dying before she gets to the end. When will he give in and make Bella a vampire?! Ahhhhhhhhh! It's killing me.

A message from our Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security

"Illegal migrants really degrade the environment. I've seen pictures of human waste, garbage, discarded bottles and other human artifact in pristine areas," Chertoff said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "And believe me, that is the worst thing you can do to the environment."
