Procrastinators of the world unite! .....tomorrow.
I got engaged ages ago it seems now and I thought that I should do an entry giving an update to wedding plans.
UPDATE: There are none. I haven't really made any plans at all and I guess that could just be the procrastinating part of me. Yes. I did have a lead a few weeks ago on a location. I wanted to get married at Glen Eyrie, this beautiful castle in Garden of the Gods, but someone apparently had the same idea as myself and has already booked May 24th. Well fine then! So now I have no idea what to do for a location and if anyone has any beautiful outdoor locations to suggest, I'm open to them.
I am, however, going to my first ever wedding dress shopping ...thing tomorrow, Saturday. I'm going with James' mother after we drop off my cat at dreampower and get a pedicure. Isn't that funny? I know I'm pretty girly but I've never actually been quite that girly and it's really bringing out the girl IN me. Here's to hoping that the dress I want fits to my body. I'll post pictures, ha, maybe even a poll. But keep it away from James, he's not supposed to see.
SO! With the release of the 7th Harry Potter book my curiosity in fanfiction has stirred and I've been looking for some good fic that doesn't really have to coincide with the book but if it does that'd be great too. I've been trying to visit my old haunts (it's been like a year and a half since I've sincerely read fanfiction)and it's just now that I'm realizing how ...*sugar coating* explicit the fics I used to read are. I think I have to start all over again in fanfiction and work my way back up to the point where I used to be at. You know, the avid fan, the one who spends most of her single time reading because there's really nothing better to do. Problem is these days that I find there's a lot of things better to do and it's usually with James or the friends or that sort of thing.
SPOILERS
And, as for my thoughts on the 7th book (they're not all that long or unique) I really liked the book. Without giving away spoilers I thought that a lot of it was really really sad, especially towards the end, and I can understand why JK Rowling said that some people would absolutely loathe it. I've read a lot of reviews and I was surprised to see that a lot of people didn't like the epilogue while I quite enjoyed it! I thought it really brought about an end to the entire series. The couples were what we all expected them to be; Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, so forth and so on. The only thing that I confused was the names of their children and it took me awhile to decipher who was the spawn of who. But I'm glad that got what he wanted in the end. Before the book came out I was sure that Harry was going to die in the end and I mourned the fact that he would never truely have the family and love he had always wanted. So I'm glad he did.
And that's that! I wrote this right before I was to be heading off to work and I'm a bit late now. So ciao my friends. Thanks to those for all the lovely comments in my engagement post. :)
