(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.
