*Twilight - I personally love these books. I own all four of them and even though the last book (which I'm finishing up) is slightly disappointing for me, and has gotten a crazy mixture of reviews....I still think they're all worth reading.
A co-worker of mine got me into them because she's also a Buffy fan, and knew it would be something I'd be interested in. Now we sort of have a mini book-club going on at work about them (there is about 6 of us girls practically obsessed). And one of the girls borrowed Buffy to see if she'd like it, and yay she loves it! Score!
I personally don't think you have to be into vampires to enjoy Twilight and its sequels, because they mostly have to do with first love, and how powerful it could be. Plus the vampires aren't your typical vamps...the author didn't use the usual stereotypes regarding them, and I think that's what made the books more interesting to me as well.
Let me know if you read them :)
*How's your best friend's father doing? I hope he's doing okay. Things like that are -always- scary. I barely even think about them because it honestly stresses me out.
* found out he has a serious girlfriend I was crushed. Crushed. And then I just felt like an idiot for being so crushed when nothing was happening anyway.
Ugh, that feeling just SUCKS! To me it's even worse with a co-worker because you have to see him all. The. Time.
But it's okay to be upset even if nothing happened. You can't help who you like, you know?
Just a couple of months ago, there was a co-worker who I was really crushing on. He's not my usual type, but I liked him anyway. Turns out, he has a serious girlfriend. Who works in the company as well. Sigh. Plus, she's beautiful and sweet, so I can't even dislike her...lol.
So yes, I feel your pain *hugs*
How's therapy going? Can I just say how proud how I am that you're going? (I was saving that for your other post, but I feel the need to tell you now.)
And how's the eating been? Good for you for making such a great change for yourself and working at breaking the habit. I know you could do it. :)
I'm about halfway throught Twilight. It didn't do for me what I thought it might (which may be good - I don't need another obsession!) but I can see why so many people are crazy over the series. I made the mistake of reading some Breaking Dawn reviews and that kind of soured my experience of reading Twilight.
Speaking of vamps... I'm dying to watch BtVS from the beginning. I just know that I don't have that kind of time! I wish I could stop the world long enough to watch it all the way through once, without missing a day. lol
My friend's dad is better. He's back at work. I just hope he's stopped smoking!

Thank you. The sessions are great. I love my therapist. I love that chance to talk and get everything out. But it's such a long process, and I know that I have to accept that I'll have ups and downs... but this particular down is lasting too long. I've just been in a terrible funk for weeks and I can't pull myself out.
That's why I fear everything I'm saying has such a dismal tone. I'm just exhausted - from being unhappy with myself, from feeling disappointing, from working out so hard, thinking about my weight all the time, etc. It's been a lifetime struggle and over the last couple years it's become a full time, physically and emotionally, obsession.
There I go being such a downer again. It's so weird because while I feel so angry at myself and so sad over things, day to day I can be my usual cheerful, laughing self.
