HARRY POTTER DAY.
!!!!!!
I can’t wait. When I got home today, there was a message from Borders reminding me to pick up my copy of OotP this weekend. Pshaw. Like I would forget, you silly people! The message was really cool though because it was one of those pre-recorded messages and get this, it was the guy that narrates the Harry Potter DVDs! How cool is that?
Ok, fine. So maybe it’s not that cool. I find strange things amusing.
So I was going to wait until Saturday morning to pick up the book but I was reading this transcript of an interview with JK Rowling (beware! there are spoilers for OotP) and it just made me super duper excited. I think I may have to head to Borders for the midnight book party. I have no one to go with though since the boyfriend is going to be in Las Vegas for the weekend. Plus, I’m seriously going to look like a complete weirdo! I imagine many kids attend this book party, right? How weird would I look if I walked in. And by myself! Hmm. I’ll guess I’ll have to be quick — walk in, pay, walk home and pull an all-nighter reading the book. Hee.
Anyway, like I mentioned earlier, the boyfriend is going to be in Las Vegas this weekend for a bachelor party — I’ve given him a good amount of money so that he can win more money for ME! The deal is that if he wins at least $400, he’ll give me the money to buy an iPod. Eeee! I’m trying to send him good vibes so he can place smart bets and come home a winner!
Many thanks to Alie, Melanie, Reen, Linda and Nicola for helping me figure out how to disable direct linking. 🙂 I got it to work on A Beautiful Reality. Go me. I haven’t customized it or anything so it only shows a red x — I think I will fashion an evil image to put in it its place. Heh.
I wasn’t really all *that* excited for HP5 (because, like, I’ve waited sooo long it doesn’t quite seem real), but I watched that interview with JKR last night and . . . EEEE!!! 😀
i just got my little e-mail from amazon saying my harry potter book has been shipped:) and will be here this weekend or monday. ::squeals like a fangirl:: ahem! so yes-i am quite excited;)
My goal is to red the GoF again this weekend (even though I have a math final on Monday that I REALLY need to study for)! Because I haven’t read it since I got it when it first came out, and if I’m not mistaken, that was quite some time ago!! LOL. My parents are buying HP5 for me for my birthday. I keep reminding them to go first thing and buy it, because if it gets sold out I’ll just die!!
LOL All you HP people are getting so excited 😉 PS: You’re welcome for the help, even if I didn’t help much LOL. 🙂
I agree with everything Nicola said! I wasn’t feeling all the hype, but it’s finally here! I’m going to the midnight bash at my local Barnes and Noble. Can’t wait…(and don’t feel bad about going alone. Just go!)
hey! i was going to go to the midnight book party at borders, but not the one in emery, the one at union landing in union city. awww, it would be cool if i could go with you. enjoy reading the book!
Hee.. I ended up going to a midnight book party (how quickly I am sucked in) and I felt kind of stupid too. Although there were actually way more adults than kids there. Hm.
I got my copy of HP at good ol’ Costco for $22. Woo hoo! All the other places are selling it for like $40 so i got a hell of a deal! Happy reading!
Awww, yeah, the kids. But you just know the parents are just as excited as the kids are, lol.
Hope the boyfriend wins some major cash, Kel!
Hey Kel. I love your layout! Dawsons Creek rules!! Keep up all the good work w/ it… you’re very talented:)- Ash
