Just don't read my review of the whole series till you're finished. But do take heart that, given that we seem to have fairly similar tastes, you *might* end up hating the books and hating yourself for continuing to read them the further along you get.

Always Sunny is at the top of our list, now.

I'm insanely jealous about your attending a chocolate festival. So, you know, I'm suffering too.

(It's your fault because I had been staring at the book with what little hipster contempt I can muster, and one more reference to it being addictive did me in, because I'm not a reader of vampire stuff, for whatever reason. And of course with leaning on Vampire Weekend for music, I feel like a bigger traitor to my non-vampire stance. [By listening to Vampire Weekend I am also proving that I am latecomer, and no longer anything like a hipster, I am the 30-year-old in a club full of drunk 21-year-olds.])<br><br>Non-jargon phrases I love to use at work because they get reactions: "hunker down" (I think it's the way it sounds) and "diddle fart" (my dad's phrase and completely inappropriate, and perfect for the latter reason).<br><br>It's Always Sunny... is wildly inappropriate and utterly brilliant. I loved the first season (it was a bit toned down back then), and in the second season they just dared people to look away. In fact, while sitting here trying to ignore my need to finish Twilight, and wanting to finish knitting a hat (to finish making something, anything), I've realized that the only thing that could pull me from Twilight would be It's Always Sunny... God I love those folks.<br><br>At least it's Friday and I'm going to the Chocolate Festival on Sunday. Although, by that time I will have finished Twilight, bought the next book, decided that none of my friends deserve baby or wedding blanket gifts and I should spend all of my time reading, and will become that sad girl who can only talk about Twilight while surrounded by luxurious chocolates. It's all your fault.

Ay yi. They mos def need a vocab overhaul. Extremely silly and highly entertaining RPG: <a href="http://kingdomofloathing.com" rel="nofollow">Kingdom of Loathing</a>. It may be more fun if you have some sort of background/knowledge of RPG tropes, which I imagine you probably culturally absorbed even if you never played one. Haven't played in a while, but I was a Disco Bandit. It was awesome. “Refreshing”? Ay yi. They mos def need a vocab overhaul.
