Ok, time to show you guys a side of me that you don’t know! LOL I have to blog about this because hubby and I have discussed it and see this in two different lights….
I am a shy person. If I don’t know you, I don’t talk. If you speak to me first, I will respond but I’m still reserved and won’t keep the convo going. Hubby says that it’s rude and I’m rude and that I look like a total bitch when I do this. My question is - how can I look so terrible when I answer politely, smile at them and try to be as nice as possible? Just because I won’t chatter on and on with someone I don’t know just to avoid silence? This happens to me quite frequently at school. I’m not a big talker unless I know you - that’s just the way I am. I am not a confident conversationalist so I feel like I’m saying stupid things if I’m just rambling on to keep the convo going. Plus I have ’stranger-phobia’ so I’m automatically suspicious of people and their behavior….
My question to you - do you carry on conversations with strangers easily?? Maybe I’m just a complete failure at the social skills….

I finally finished Pride & Prejudice and thanks to my lil cousin, I have also watched the film. The book was really good - a little hard to read at first but once I got into the story, it was much easier to follow. For some reason, from the beginning I didn’t feel like Mr. Darcy was as bad as everyone thought he was. I am stand-offish and keep to myself so I can identify with him I think. I thought the book was humorous…the movie literally cracked me up! I will definitely be buying that movie!
Speaking of Mr. Darcy - hubby took me took the bookstore last night for our date (yep, we’re nerds and go out to B&N for our date nights!) and I bought two books - one is ‘Mr. Darcy’s Diary’. Typically I don’t like 2nd books that are written by completely different authors. It just seems wrong for someone else to write them - but I must say that I’m enjoying this book. It’s an easy read compared to P&P but it’s nice to ’see’ Mr. Darcy’s thoughts. 
Another book topic - Stephenie Meyer’s Midnight Sun. Due to the fact that part of the rough draft has been leaked on the internet, she is putting the book on hold ‘indefinitely’….this is such a BAD move on her part. Yes, I understand she is upset, hurt, disappointed, but she MUST realize what this is going to do to her fans. I was in shock when I heard but now, I’m past that and have moved on to the eye-rolling phase. I think she is being completely ridiculous (childish) about it. She must see what kind of reviews that the leak is already getting - everyone LOVES it! Why wouldn’t you finish the story when the reviews for just the first, unpolished, 12 chapters are so great? Someone leaked it and now her fans will suffer….it’s really sad IMO. I have a feeling that she will finish it though - she has claimed that she wants a copy of Midnight Sun to go with the rest of the Twilight books. I think once she gets over being upset/hurt/mad, she will come to her senses.
Ok, now that I have absolutely bored you that don’t read, I hope you will comment anyway, if only to say hi! Until next time….

You’ve heard about people who have been abducted and had their kidneys removed by black-market organ thieves.
My thighs were stolen from me during the night a few years ago. I went to sleep and woke up with someone else’s thighs.
It was just that quick. The replacements had the texture of cooked oatmeal. Whose thighs were these and what happened to mine? I spent the entire summer looking for my thighs.
Finally, hurt and angry, I resigned myself to living out my life in jeans.
And then the thieves struck again.
My butt was next. I knew it was the same gang, because they took pains to match my new rear-end to the thighs they had stuck me with earlier. But my new butt was attached at least three inches lower than my original! I realized I’d have to give up my jeans in favor of long skirts.
Two years ago I realized my arms had been switched. One morning I was fixing my hair and was horrified to see the flesh of my upper arm swing to and fro with the motion of the hairbrush. This was really getting scary - my body was being replaced one section at a time. What could they do to me next?
When my poor neck suddenly disappeared and was replaced with a turkey neck,I
decided to tell my story. Women of the world, wake up and smell the
coffee!
REAL replacement body parts –stolen from you and me! The next time someone you know has something ‘lifted’, look again -was it lifted from you?
THIS IS NOT A HOAX. This is happening to women everywhere every night.
WARN YOUR FRIENDS!
P.S. Last year I thought some one had stolen my Boobs. I was lying in bed and
they were gone! But when I jumped out of bed, I was relieved to see that they
had just been hiding in my armpit s as I slept. Now I keep them hidden in my
waistband.
(Thanks to Critter for emailing this to me…cracks me up every time I read it!)
