Back from break...

I'm back from my little break! Too little, I wish I had another week off. It was so nice not having to think about lab, other than a random lapse or two.

First off, the results of the poll!
What series do you like better? (25 votes)
Harry Potter 56%
Twilight 28%
Same 4%
Neither 12%

YAY, I finally have 20+ votes, I'm hoping to keep up that count! It makes things more fun when you have a lot of voters!

To be honest, I have only read and seen the Harry Potter series. I have not watched nor read any of the Twilight series. Not to bash Twilight since I haven't seen it (nor read it), but I don't think I'm a fan of a teenage vampire movie romance. This is coming from a girl that has not been able to sit through Titanic! My friend has described the book as being a teeny bopper vampire romance with a lot of angst and yearning thrown in, while one of my coworkers debated walking out on the movie.

What made you choose the series you did?

Check out the new poll to your right! Please vote!

My break was good! Outlet shopping was fun! Did bring home a few things, but not a huge shopping spree...There was a little "mishap" that poked a little of the fun away. Home with the parents was fun, and relaxing. Lots of shopping with my mom (and aunt), more clothing hauls brought home, I think I went shopping everyday while I was home. Did not touch a smidgen of work, even though I did bring some home. Watched a ton of TV and a little bit of the Tour de France (I'm a geek, I know).

Now that I'm back, I'm continuing my search for a home. The place I just saw today! Not my cup of tea, while I know it's the epitome of campus housing that you usually see, I'm just not used to it. Student housing can sometimes be a little scary or maybe I've just been spoiled by the places that I've stayed at.

Ok, I have a lot in my Reader to read that'll probably last all weekend! Off to catch up!

Welcome back! :) I love the polls, keep 'em comin'!

I got hooked on HP so fast I was sort of in shock. I didn't think I would like the books, but I read the first three at light speed! I haven't tried Twilight yet, but Stephenie Meyer has another book called The Host I'm looking to pick up and try. (I think it's more for an older adult audience)

@Kym
Thanks! I'm hoping to keep the interest in the polls coming!

@Sami
Thanks hon! LOL, I thought the same that you did, I didn't start reading the HP series until the 5th book came out, and that was because my research advisor suggested the books to me...and let me borrow the first book from her. Let me know how the Host is, I may try it if it is the adult version.
