The "Where the hell have you been?" Post

Well…

It’s been a while. No lie there.

Life. Real Life. Tends to abruptly hit you in the face and the only response is either to run or act. I chose to act. Go me. 

Unfortunately, that meant the things I love to do … aka reading and blogging and blubbering about randomness … kinda took the back saddle for a bit. But I simply cannot allow the start of a new year to pass me by without having a meaningful moment with my small-time blog.

In March of 2012 an eccentric and hands down the most ‘lovable’ man I have ever known passed away. Upon my father’s all too soon departure… I began to bury myself in books. My older, wiser sister (no offense to the rest of ‘em *winks*), is a fantastic writer and has read many-o books that she lovingly allowed me to borrow.

I will not lie. For the first time, in March of 2012, I read the Twilight series. Now --- I understand that I jumped on the Edward Pony Express a little late, but still I enjoyed every second! Not to mention my sister responded to every text message and phone call, never showing her annoyance when I would holler about how stupid Bella was/is!

From there things went cray. I will not go on and on about the many of authors and characters I fell in love with, but I will name my top five or ten… We will see how that goes anywho. ;)
