Finally proud!
Someday, I hope to attend my best gay friends' weddings in the state of Illinois and know that their rights will be forever available as it would be for me. Looks like America is taking the right step!!!

Deep in the heart of Texas!
How would one know that Spring has officially sprung unless one takes a Spring Break mini getaway? One can't!!! So, in order to honor the commencement from Winter to Spring, Brianne and I took a roadtrip to visit our friend, Denise, who had moved to Texas about a year ago.
The road trip began on a Friday night from Hoopeston, Illinois (home of the Cornjerkers) and ended in Pearland, Texas (a suburb right outside of Houston). Gotta love a 15 hour road trip that takes you through such exciting cities such as Dix, Illinois, Arkadelphia, Arkansas and Cotton Plant, Arkansas. I mean, seriously people.
I really enjoyed my time there. We had a very calm trip full of shopping, going out, recooping from our hangovers, going to bed at 5am, visiting Chocolate Bar, going costume shopping, seeing "I Love You Man," and GRILLING OUT IN MARCH!!!
The thing I find most annoying when taking road trips is the differing driving styles between states. It seems that Arkansasians don't like a turn signal, but they LOVE driving slowly in the left hand lane. Texans seem to like hugging the lines while driving their over-compensatingly large trucks. And we know what big cars compensate for...short....legs.
Anyway, that's neither here nor there. I think my favorite moment in Texas was Chocolate Bar. I want to marry the man who thinks it's a good idea for me to start my own sweet treat shop filled will chocolatey goodness. Cakes, tortes, everything dipped in chocolate! *HEAVEN* I wanted to just roll around in everything...and now I sound like a dog.
With Denise wanting to move back to Illinois, prefererably Chicago, this might be my only visit out there!

Where has 2 months gone?
So, I haven't been blogging since February 25th. I cannot believe I have neglected my blog outlet for 2 months. This fact is just outrageous. Simply outrageous. The past 2 months have been highly dedicated to work and my newfound love...
THE TWILIGHT SAGA!
Oh...my...god. I cannot tell you how much I loved these books. I think in total the 4books have about 2,000 pages, which I read over 9 days (a feat that my friends called fanatical and crazy). I read Twilight in one sitting on a rainy Sunday after the Forest Park St. Paddy's Parade. It was a good tired/hungover book. The other books took 2 1/2 or 3 days to get through. This accounted to late nights...
The saga was a nice escape from the serious story lines I had been reading. Over Christmas, I saw the movie with a friend who had read the first 2 books. She told me that the movie was lacking compared to the book. Still, I didn't motivated to buy the book.
Then, my friend said she had the 4 books at her office and needed to bring them home. "I'll read them if you bring them home," I told her. That week, I had Twilight and New Moon on the coffee table. Again, I just wasn't in the mood to start reading. But once that first book was over, I couldn't stop thinking about starting the sequel.
It is official, and I am a Twilight fanatic. November 20, 2009 cannot come soon enough. New Moon is supposed to have a bigger budget, which I think will lend to better effects and story line. Hopefully, it will encompass more of the book than the first movie. And while I think Edward Cullen is dreamy, I'm team Jacob. Tall, dark and handsome.
P.S. Robert Pattinson is an amazing musician...and me love him long time.
