So... guess what best-selling series I started reading again today? You guessed it- the twilight series. Now hear me out, I am not an obsessed fan, though I did realize when I was reading The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner that I truly do love the books :) . I was obsessed with the series in 2008, when I first read them. This will be my fourth time reading the 1st book, the only other book in the series I have read more then once is New Moon. My favorite is Breaking Dawn though.
Starting to read the series again made me realize how much I hate the movies, Kristen Stewart's buck teeth, man voice, and forever-blinking eyelids is not the Bella Swan that is in the books for me, she is just a bad actress in a cheap, lame movie. For me, The books are a whole different world then the movie , the characters are all different, the setting is all different, the story is different. The story is better.
I was hesitant when the first movie came out because I thought it would ruin the books for me. It did in someways, it definitely made the series seem more lame. But now as I am reading Twilight , I am able to force the bad-actors from the movie out of my mind and bring the characters that I found the first time I read it back to life, as well as the settings.
So I am still a proud owner of all 5 twilight books, and I got to admit, kind of embarassed to own the first Twilight movie.

A Healthy Habitat (In 10 easy steps!) {super secrets on cleaning your room!}
SO I cleaned my room today! Wohhoo!Here is the secret,
1. put on some music that you can flow to, that just makes your limbs want to pick up junk off the floor on their own without any messages from your brain
2. start by completly emptying your dresser, dump all of your clothes on the floor until you cant see your feet
3. pick up random stuff off of the ground and fold it and put it nicely in the drawer it BELONGS
4. Once clothes are no longer present on the base of your room, clear off your vanity/side tables/bookshelfs etc. and reorganize
5. strip bedsheets off of your sleeping blob and put clean ones on (if summer put on lighter covers, if winter put on heavier covers)
6. pick up stuff off of the ground (and make sure you get the stuff from under your bed). Divide it into 3 piles: -stuff that doesn't belong in your room, -garabage, -stuff that goes in your room
7. once junk is in all 3 piles, swiftly put the stuff where it belongs
8.sweep your floor, ever so nicely! Pretend you are petting a puppy, be soft and gentle to the ground, so you dont scratch the base.
9. clean out the closet, and organize everything! From shoes, to dresses, to costumes, to boxes, to junk that you cant seem to get rid of!
10. if you are going for super-super-clean mop the floor and wash the windows and mirrors and walls and pictures and everything! If you are going for just super-clean you are finished!!!!
And that is a clean room in 10 easy steps! A clean place is a healthy place!

Fairytale
So I wrote a short story for my darling sister yesterday. It is a fairytale based on true facts, with a little tweaking here and there. I decided to just name it after her, since all of the famous fairytales are usually named after their heroines (eg. Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Rapunzel). So now I have this idea in my mind to write each of my sisters a short fairytale of their own once they get married or something, because deep down, all girls are princesses! (Isn't that touching? :P )
