How I did it: I just read it, of course. The library helped. haha The amount of time it actually took me is unknown because obviously I had to do some waiting. It's a good series, but for me, Breaking Dawn wasn't that great. In fact, it lagged a bit. The end was okay, I guess. Personally, New Moon is my favorite because I can really relate to Bella's heartache in that one, and then Twilight is my second favorite because it's awesome. :) Read how I did it…
How I did it: I checked it out from the library and shut myself in my room whenever I could for a few days.I read this book when I was 16. (21 now) I had already been meaning to do it for years because I had heard it whispered about here and there as a kid and I was curious.

I think making paper cranes is helping my hands. It sort of feels like doing little things with my hands has become easier. And I think people have noticed, too, oddly enough. My friend, Sonia, was protesting making a paper crane by saying that I have nice long fingers so it’s easier for me. I told her that my fingers have become used to moving like that, that’s why it’s easier for me. Practice, conditioning. I wanna start playing violin again and learn how to play the guitar so I need my hands to get with the program. haha.
Oh, also, I hit a nerve in my thumb last night at work and when I said “Ow!” my co-worker said, “Uh-oh. What’s happened to Miss Dainty Fingers?” lol So I guess it’s working. :) yay!
I have 310 now!! :D I was able to do 30 at work yesterday. lol. Yeah! Mini-goal completed successfully! :3 Now I wonder if I should try for 200 more before Christmas or New Year’s so I’ll start next year with half of the 1000 all ready. hmm.. Probably by New Year’s. I feel lazy now.
