(13/30)
I’ll get the boring stuff out of the way. 
I’ve lost just about 7 lbs. in 13 days. That’s pretty sweet. Today, I really, really didn’t want to workout, but in the end I did. I’m surprised at how hard level 2 is. It makes me realize how EASY level 1 must have been, and also highlights pieces of level 1 that I probably didn’t “give my all” to complete- simply because the move didn’t require me to. So, anyway, workouts are going well.
Now onto my thoughts for tonight.
Stories…
I. Love. Stories.
Not only do I love books, but I love, love, love sagas. Not only book stories though. I also get into TV shows that have big story arcs too. I’m like an old lady watching soap operas… watching/reading my stories. Aside from my random obsession with Days of Our Lives during the summer after 7th grade, and the equally random compulsive watching-of-every-dawson’s-creek-episode shenanigans that happened during my first summer off as a teacher, I can’t say that I like soaps. But I do love a good, long, multi-chaptered, or even better–multi volumed story.
I saw twilight again tonight, and I just loved it. I loved it because I love the story. While I do think that the movie was good, and I probably would have enjoyed it in its own right, I know that a big part of why I love it is because it is a piece of a big picture.
I love when Daron asks me questions about a Harry Potter movie, because there is a tiny plot hole… and I love that it usually ends up taking me 15 minutes to explain that tiny little spot, because these creators have generated such a rich and cohesive world for me to live in for a while…
Stories have become a huge passion of mine in my early 20s and it is one of my greatest sources of peace and relaxation.

I know EXACTLY what you mean of course
A guy I talked to the other day (a friend of a friend, he’s a huge geek) told me about the Big Bang theory and said he didn’t like it very much because the stuff the geeks talk about in that show, he actually THINKS, so he felt too much like they were making fun of HIM lool!
