So I was downstairs this morning fixing myself breakfast when Catherine came in to announce the news that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released July 21. Maybe it was because I was still rather groggy, but my only reaction was, "Eh. Crap. I'll be in Greece."
Now, when I saw the batch this icon came from, I started crying. This is it. Five or so months and that'll be it for the book that have meant so much to me. Yeah, the other movies still have to be made, blah blah, whatever. Seven years is a long time (I read the first three books when I was 13), and now it's almost over. I can't even begin to explain how much these books mean to me and how much I love this fandom, however annoying, irritating, and LOLZ-inducing it can be. I haven't tagged every single entry in this journal or in
marisacoulter, but I bet harry potter related tags are #1.
So, back to the issue at hand: if I'm in Greece in July (which in all likelihood I will be), PLEASE LET THERE BE A WAY FOR ME TO GET THIS!!
I hope I can, Catherine made me quite confident about that. Manhands himself can't stop me from getting a copy!
OH MY GOD, BOOK SEVEN WTF!!! WTFWTF!!!
I might just pre-order with Borders anyway. I want a nifty "TRUST SNAPE" sticker! (BECAUSE I DO!! OH, SNAPLES!!!!)
... Actually, I'd rather have a "LET REMUS LIVE AND BE HAPPY WITH TONKS, FOR THE LOVE OF MERLIN." Because that's the one thing I really want from this book. I want my favorite character from any book I've ever read (and most likely will read. It's hard to top Remus) to live. D: PLEASE, JK!!1
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
edit:
Val: BOO MONEY
Val: why does it exist
Me: boo indeed
Val: to spite me, is the answer
Me: well, I dunno, I'll pay for things I want
Me: I don't want to pay for electricity and water and bills and shit
Me: wtf
Val: ZLOL
Val: you could live in a hut, surrounded by L.A.M.B. purses
Me: HAHAHAHA
Val: your toilet would be a hole in the ground but you'd own a jacket david thewlis once wore in Naked
Val: it would be a paradox of extravagance
Me: ZLOL!!
Me: I APPROVE!!
Val: i do only as long as you hang a sign over your door saying "educated and comedy capitalist"
Me: what about: "educated and comedy capitalist hermit"?
Me: I imagine I won't be very social in my hut
Val: on the contrary, i believe you would be a media sensation and very popular
Me: can I still be all eccentric and anti-social and fling the poo from my hole in the ground at people?
Val: but of course
Val: why else would people love you?
Val: that is your hook
Val: poo flinger
