Top 5 answers coming tomorrow. 😀 Thanks to everyone for the suggestions! Keep ’em coming!
And becuase I really haven’t been able to think about anything else… some comments on the now infamous JK Rowling interview as well as Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince itself (in list form, of course)…
Stealing this meme from just about everybody…
Ask me for “top five” lists of pretty much anything (‘ships, places, songs, etc.) and I will list my top five of that thing or things.
Do it! Do it! 😛
Before I forget, just wanted to do a quick Hawaii post…
Hawaii was amazing. I’ve visited many times now and each time I love it more and more. For me, there really isn’t a more perfect vacation spot.
Aww man, I miss Hawaii. My first day back at work was *harsh.* I had 250+ emails to wade through and all I could think about was getting some more sun on the beach. Guh.
Anyway. Enough wallowing.
I finally got my Harry Potter book on Saturday afternoon (stinking black-out!!!). And finished it Sunday night. Thoughts to come…
I AM SO UPSET.
So right before I head over to Borders to pick up my Harry Potter book, Rob and I notice that there’s a black-out on the other side of our block… the side where the Borders just happens to be.
But I walk across the street anyway. Just in case, you know. And OF COURSE, it’s closed. %$#@! Why couldn’t they have some kind of emergency generator in the store for situations JUST LIKE THIS?!? I want my book!
I wore my Gryffindor shirt and everything. Humph.
… And I’m off to pick up my copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
🙂
YAY!
… So I’m back. And I miss Hawaii already (I could seriously pack up and move there; I love it so much). I can’t believe I have to go back to work tomorrow. Noooo!!!
Pictures and an actual blog about the trip to follow… as well as an entry about Veronica Mars and my shipping inclinations. 😉
*sigh* Off to finish unpacking.
I’m in Hawaii right now posting from the Apple store. Heh. I’m so silly.
Anyway, just wanted to say Hi! 🙂 Will blog all about the trip when I get back.
So I finished off Veronica Mars yesterday. It’s amazing how quickly I went through the episodes. I seriously couldn’t stop until I was done with the entire season, lol. It’s not so much the “mysteries/cases” that reeled me in — it’s the characters. They’re the real draw. I started to care about what happened to them (well, that’s not really true for Lianne or Celeste, heh). Now I can’t wait for season 2 (and finding out who’s at Veronica’s door)! And of course the DVDs come out on my birthday. What perfect timing.
Well, I’m off to finish packing. Our flight leaves at 9am so we have to wake up really early (5:30AM!!!) to be ready when the airport shuttle arrives. I’ll be back in a week — Aloha!!! 🙂
Thanks for all the support with the driving, everyone! All the kind words mean A LOT. Reading everyone’s comments have made me more psyched to learn… I even convinced Rob to take me out tomorrow morning to practice — let’s cross our fingers that it goes well.
Rob and I have been having a Veronica Mars marathon. We spent Saturday night watching episodes 2-11… we got so into it that we stayed up until 4am! I don’t have many comments really — mostly because I know what’s coming (that’s what I get for always clicking on spoiler links and episode commentaries, lol). I do have to say, though, that I LOVE Weevil. He makes me smile, like really wide. Awww. He’s probably my favorite character, with Wallace and/or Duncan coming in second. My favorite episode so far has been An Echolls Family Christmas… I guess I’m a sucker for group episodes. Plus, seeing all the guys together playing poker (and Duncan/Logan had the same boxers, hee) made me swoon. VM has such an attractive cast. Anyway, off to watch more episodes…
Countdown: 3 days until Hawaii!!!
So… I’m attempting the whole driving thing again. (Yes, I do not have my driver’s license and I realize I am 25). 😛
With some pressure from my friends at work, I took the written test a few weeks back, got my permit, and took my first driving lesson yesterday (well, technically, it wasn’t my first lesson but it’s been *years* since I’ve been behind the wheel). I was terrified and nervous for the first 5 minutes (AND almost hit another car, natch) but after the anxiety wore away, it wasn’t so bad. I have LOTS of hours of practice ahead of me, though… I need to practice my turns (I have a feeling I go too slowly), get used to traffic, and I have yet to even attempt driving on the freeway (the very thought scares the bejeezus out of me).
My goal is to take the manual driving test by my birthday (October), which gives me about 3 months. You all are my witnesses! I can’t back down now. EEK.
