Book opening! HP party!
First, it should be recorded that 1) We were at the bookstore until 1 a.m. 2) I was the only girl in my group not in a Hogwarts uniform, though they did let me hold the stuffed owl 3) There were multiple points at which people in the line were threatening to spoiler me and I blurted "You spoil me, I #@$!ing kill you" and then realized I had just cursed at a children's book event. Oops.
There was an incredibly convincing Moody, eye and all, and a Snape and an Umbridge and a passel of small children in wizard hats and taped glasses who made me curse my lack of foresight, because dammit, if I had reproduced five years ago I would have had a literate child by now. And I would have stuffed that poor child into a Harry Potter costume and made them go to the book store at midnight, because I would have found it ungodly cute.
Second, it should be recorded that we - me and the soon-to-be-only roommate and her friends - read the first 222 pages of Harry Potter aloud, in a treehouse, while eating cupcakes and potato chips. It took about seven hours, and it was brilliant.
By the way, apparently I really am moving tomorrow, so I'm predicting that I'll be offline a fair amount. This will provide a good opportunity for the Potter to settle in my system?
