I've decided to to give in and try some Crack. Who's with me?!

This past weekend, I hung out with my new pal in the sisterhood-of-tattooness, Rachel, who was talking about these books she's been reading. Then Rachel kept talking about it, and then MyDaph jumped in about it. Then they got together and superfreakshowed about it, yapping about this and that. Typically, when people around me start talking about the latest books they've read, I mentally check out. Because I think reading is totally overrated. Except for this blog, ofcourse. VERY IMPORTANT TO READ IT.

I suppose my take on reading is a bit ironic considering a lifetime goal of mine is to write a book. I should probably be more supportive to the whole cult-like following of "readers" and all.

Still, they kept saying how much I'd love these books, and it's so fun, and they've never been more glued to a book before, and it's like "Crack". You just can't get enough.

Wait, did you just say it's Crack? I'll try crack. It's legal right? I'm in.

But then Rachel went off about how obsessed she is and she checks the writer's website everyday to find out when the new book is coming out. And then she said, "I dream of the day when I find my true love vampire."

Say what? I'm out. No can do. At the risk of reading it and becoming that crazy, I can't risk that. I'm doing fine maintaining my own level of crazy, just fine.

And then, today, I'm walking with Julz(Holla!) and she starts talking about these books that Cake-making-Diva gave her to read. And it's a series and

"Wait, is this that Vampire chick."

"YES!" she says.

Maybe it's the way she presents things to me. Because I told Ricardo ain't no way I'm trying Indian Food EVER. EVER! And then Julz(Holla!) got me to try it and I love it. And now, here we are, I left the gym and went to get the first book. Supposedly I won't be able to put it down. We'll see.

It's the Twilight series. I'm a slow reader, so don't go expecting a review tomorrow. I'll see what I can do. I saw the author on a talk show - this whole series started from a vivid dream she had. She simply started journaling about it, and so, that's kind of cool.

I'm definitely a good test as to whether this book is as good as everyone says. I fall asleep every time I read. Supposedly the Cake-Making-Diva, MyDaph and Rachel stayed up til the next morning reading it. We'll see how good this crack is. We'll see.

I'm off to jump on the Twilight bandwagon. Wish me luck on this whole "reading" thing.

That's how I roll.
