I locked myself in my room with hand lotion, Jeremy about locked himself out of his locker, and Mike washing the butter with the dishes after dinner all told in the Random Noodle Update. My featured story is about my recent "sour" events in children’s church. WARNING: milk was involved, and children under 21 shouldn’t listen because we spoil Santa Claus.

The Twilight Saga: Origins and Ultimate Destinations
In my last post I talked briefly about how Meyer used the vampire myth in her popular series, but with the undead as main characters, it’s a given that death and eternity are going to be discussed, as well. I also found out after reading the saga that Meyer is a Morman, and so I’m sure her faith does influence her worldview, which is bound to have some influence on her stories. So it was no surprise to me that Meyers has her characters speculate a lot on spiritual matters—especially those having to do with death and eternity. Continue reading
