I can’t sleep.<\/p>\n
I got sent home from work today for being sick (I’m a sneezing, coughing mess) and I slept earlier from about 11am until 4:30pm. So now I’m trying to go to sleep (I’m going to attempt to go to work tomorrow) and I can’t. I’m like, wide awake. <\/p>\n
I watched the MTV Movie Awards and I learned 3 things:
\n1. Paris Hilton is a robot. Why does she *always* stand with her hands on her hips?<\/p>\n
2. Lindsay Lohan can’t dance. (Well, she can but not in the same league as the You Got Served<\/i> dancers.) Ouch.<\/p>\n
3. Jake Gyllenhaal is really, really cute. Really.<\/p>\n
I’m still in a Harry Potter<\/i> state of mind so I’m going to do this meme (stolen from Miss Windy<\/a>)…<\/p>\n When did you first discover Harry Potter?<\/b> Were you hooked instantly, or did it take a while?<\/b> Did you instantly fall in love with any specific character?<\/b> Favorite… How long did it take you to read…<\/b> If you were in Harry Potter… What would your pet be?<\/b> What would your wand be?<\/b> Who would you date?<\/b> What would be your favorite subject?<\/b> I can’t sleep. I got sent home from work today for being sick (I’m a sneezing, coughing mess) and I slept earlier from about 11am until 4:30pm.

\nSometime in the summer of 2001. My college roommate Angela and my best friend Robyn would talk about the books and I figured I’d check out what the hype was all about.<\/p>\n
\nInstantly. There’s just something about the Wizarding World that really makes me want to believe<\/i> in it.<\/p>\n
\nHarry. I’ve adored Harry since the first chapter of the first book.<\/p>\n
\nProfessor:<\/b> Lupin. I just loved his relationship with Harry in PoA.
\nMarauder:<\/b> Tie between James and Sirius. The inseparable pranksters.
\nGryffindor:<\/b> Hermione — smart and bookish but unfailingly loyal and brave. Love her.
\nSlytherin:<\/b> Snape. Or maybe Draco, even though I don’t really find anything sympathetic about his character.
\nHufflepuff:<\/b> Cedric?
\nRavenclaw:<\/b> Err… Cho Chang?
\nCharacter overall:<\/b> Harry. Harry! HARRY!<\/p>\n
\nBook 1: One night. I wanted to finish it right away just to get to the next 3.
\nBook 2: One night.
\nBook 3: One night.
\nBook 4: One day.
\nBook 5: 2 days. This book was a tough one for me — the tension and the darker tone made it more difficult for me to read. <\/p>\n
\nWhat house would you be in?<\/b>
\nAs much as I’d want to be in Gryffindor with Harry, I’d most likely be in Ravenclaw.<\/p>\n
\nAn owl. Something low maintenance. Plus, I don’t like rats (ugh) or cats.<\/p>\n
\nAfter looking at the wand selection at Alivan’s<\/a>, I’d want the Lignum Vitae wand — strong wood with the essence of Dragon’s whisker.<\/p>\n
\nHarry, please.<\/p>\n
\nCharms. It seems to be the most practical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
