101 Here I Come: "D" Is For (Breaking) Dawn

On the Title

Roi-Et a.k.a. "101" is a city in the northeast of Thailand. I spent more than "One Night in Bangkok," and was on my way to Roi-Et. It wasn't my final destination in Thailand, but the place where I grew the most. I gained a tolerance for spicy food, and learned a little dialect called Essan-- a mixture of Laos and Thai. I learned that it's not the destination but the journey that matters. Just as random as my adventures were in Thailand, so is my life--it's like living in L.A. (oh by the way L.A. is another nickname for Roi-Et).

"D" Is For (Breaking) Dawn

This morning I was up at the butt-crack of dawn to get to Borders. Today is the midnight release party for Breaking Dawn, and I can honestly say that I lived the title of the book. I was at Borders at 6 am because I figured there would be a long line because of my Harry Potter experience, and because Provo is the hot spot for "Twilighters," I am #57 (pretty close to where I was in line for Harry Potter). I gotta give props to my peeps at Borders, this year the event ran smooth as butter. You might think I am obsessed, but I actually enjoy waiting in lines for these events, I feel like I am a part of something big (bigger than me), but I draw the line at dressing up and camping over night (the person in the front of the line was there since noon yesterday--honestly, there wasn't a need for that). OK, so I am obsessed, but not obsessed! (My obsessions are Harry Potter, and presently New Kids on the Block.)

For rolling my butt out of bad at 5:20 am, (and actually getting dressed--yes a wardrobe change!), I deserve a medal.
