It's gonna be a rough five weeks....

So you've probably gathered from my other posts today that I have an affinity for a couple of handsome, talented boys on Glee.  Yep, I'll admit it.  I'm a die hard Klainer.  We're in our 6th season of the show, and it's the last one...in fact, there are only a handful of episodes left, and this makes me a wreck.  Well, it's not that bad, maybe.  No, yeah, it is.  I'M A WRECK.  What will I do without my boys when I can't see them every week on my T.V.??   Sigh.  I'm gonna throw in another long sigh for good measure, what the heck.  

I've allowed the show to consume me for all these years, I've gained a good amount of friends just through the fandom, I've traveled with these people, met Darren Criss (still waiting on Chris Colfer to come anywhere close to me on a book tour...)  and just basically moved parts of my life into that of "fangirl" for the foreseeable future.  They've taught me tolerance, acceptance and persistence, and for that I'm forever grateful.  But most of all, they've taught me that you should love who you want to love, everyone else's opinion be damned.

Now....well, now the actors (my boys!!)  will be moving on to other ventures, I'm sure.  Both are such talented guys, I can't see them NOT doing something else in showbiz.  I'm both excited for them and so sad to see them go.  The onscreen chemistry is like nothing I've ever seen, and T.V. will be "less" without them....but it's so much MORE because of them..  I'm glad to have been a part of something this groundbreaking even if it's just as a fan.  

I wonder if anyone else can relate?

The beginnings....

I've always been a fan of a good romance novel....always.   Since I graduated from Trixie Belden and Nancy Drew in grade school, romance novels have been my go-to relaxation method.  I've always had issues falling asleep, so I got in the habit of keeping a book next to my bed and reading until I couldn't hold my eyes open even one more second.  I'd slip the book onto my nightstand and fall off to sleep without issue.

I tend to go in spurts.  For a long time I read historical romance books, then I'd get stuck on crime novels with a romantic side story.  From time to time I'd delve into something fantastical and read about magic, witches and wolves.  But no matter what I read, I always come back to a good love story.  I love a good twist in the plot that leaves you saying "What the heck just happened?!  I didn't see that coming!  Oh my God...."  and I try to do that when I write, as well.  

There's just something about a good book that you can't help but be drawn to.   Getting sucked into another time, another life, another day with new people you come to think of as friends...it's pretty fascinating.  I highly recommend finding a good book if you're not a reader.  Allow yourself that getaway from the daily grind.  You deserve it!
