so i finished new moon (the 2nd in the twilight series) shortly after i made my last journal entry.
yesterday the 4th and final installment, breaking dawn, came out so i went to joseph beth to get it before i went into work at the mall. i was afraid they wouldn't have any available copies since i didn't pre-order, but they did. SCORE. i looked and looked for eclipse (#3) with no luck and finally asked for assistance. no copies available, all sold out.
WHAT THE FECK?
how can you have readily available stacks of a book that had 3.2 million copies pre-ordered the DAY OF its release...but none of the previous work which was released over a year ago. poppycock.
so the entire day at work, breaking dawn taunted me, staring up at me from my bag as if to say, ha-ha you can't read me yet. suckerrrrr. but finally after my 1-10 pm shift, i went over to borders and they luckily had the copy i needed, as well as a store-exclusive calender from twilight the movie. DOUBLE SCORE. (edward and the crew are currently staring down at me from my wall when i sleep. be jealous)
i started it last night, or tried to with many interruptions, and read some today before and after work. i'm currently around page 300 or so while meghan is over here reading the last one, huffing and puffing about shit i don't want to know about yet. i'm trying to speed read so i can catch up and we can gossip about what's going on but it's not going to happen as quickly as i want it go.
CLEAR SAILING AHEAD THOUGH. i have three days off starting tomorrow, which means i can completely immerse myself in the world of edward and bella with absolutely no interruptions. no pee breaks. no brushing my teeth. nothing. my goal is to be done with this one and starting on breaking dawn by time meg gets out of work tomorrow so we can talk at least a little.
it's a long shot, but i'm going for it. no one plan on getting seriously and permanently maimed, or dying tomorrow, as i'm not answering any phone calls. and if the house burns down, by god, i'm going with it and my beloved saga.
sad, i know. my life will never be the same.
