OMG Mariposa I love you! I am so glad you're my sista from anotha mista!! :ghug3
I just have to say - I read the entire Twilight series last summer.
Got the first 3 read in time for when Breaking Dawn came out! LOL! I am SUCH a girl! I have actually been thinking about pulling them down and re-reading them.
In about June I'll have to pull down the Harry Potter series in prep for the July release of the 6th movie!
I will respond to the more "relevant" parts of your post separately - I just had to say that!! Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
