So I did end up buying my Harry Potter book at the midnight release. I just could *not* wait until the morning to get my hands on the book. I restrained myself from attending the actual party which started at 10pm — only because I took pity on the poor kids. I’m sure that I would have destroyed all of them in the Harry Potter trivia and I didn’t want to have that on my conscience. Heh. Anyway, I showed up around 11:30 and omg, I just about had a heart attack. There were so many people!!! All I could think was “Damn it! How long is it going to take for me to get my book?” I got in line to get my ticket and to my horror, I was number 500-something! I seriously had no clue this many people even lived in Emeryville. I ended up waiting about 2 and a half hours but I found myself being entertained by hilarious adults decked out in entire wizard outfits, the little kids running around pretending to cast spells on people, and even the completely stressed out Borders employees.<\/p>\n

I got home at around 2am and I was so incredibly tired but I just *had* to start reading — I only read about 6 chapters or so and finally gave in to sleep. I have since finished the book and I think it’s fabulous. There’s just so much more tension and anger in this installment and that made it all the more exciting for me to read. My thoughts are much too incoherent and mixed-up to write a real review but I just have to say that Harry needs a huge hug immediately. And I’d like to be the one to give it to him. Heh. I’m kidding. Really.<\/p>\n

Hmmm… just finished watching that show Driven<\/i> on VH1 — they featured Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. For some strange reason, I am oddly fascinated by them. I mean, these two are only 17 and they’ve built an entire brand. That is just so amazing to me. Who knew the annoying little girls who played Michelle on Full House<\/i> would be billionaires before their 18th birthday? Can you tell I really have absolutely nothing else to blog about? Can you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
