yesterday, brisingr came out, and book world was having a party at 11pm, but edward had to work, so i thought i'd go with taylor.
so we didn't go until like 11:50 because we didn't want to be the first ones there and really we just wanted to get the book and leave, and taylor got all dressed up thinking she'd meet the nerd of her dreams, and we got there and just.
aldsmgoasdgm.
with taylor and i, there were 8 people total.
it was SO SAD. the whole bookstore was decorated, the cashiers were dressed up and there was a full pan of brownies, two full two liters of soda, a full bowl of chips and a full plate of cookies. three of the people were under the age of 12, and it was just so embarrassing. i was mortified.
and there was a trivia quiz to fill out so i filled one out, confident in my knowledge of the series.
so then, after the cashiers DOUBLE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS MIDNIGHT, like there was a HUGE LONG LINE and a HUGE COUNTDOWN IN ANTICIPATION, they started selling the books. so i got up there and was like "what do i do with this quiz?" and she said "well, we can give you the answer key if you want to see if you got the questions right, but there's no prize..."
WHAT?????????///////// i filled out that quiz for NOTHING. NOTHING!!!!!!
and then someone asked them how long they were going to stay open and they said "until about 1:30 if people keep coming."
NO ONE WAS THERE!!!!!!!!!
it was so sad and pathetic and humiliating. good thing i was third in line so i could get out of there fast!
in other news, eddie is so high maintenance and it takes him like 2 hours to get out of bed and i get SO FRUSTRATED and i want to pull his hair out and he's like "rub my back" so i rub his back and he's like "rub my hair" so i rub his hair and he's like "rub my ENTIRE BODY" so i do it and the cycle just repeats itself everyday where he won't get up until his entire body has been rubbed and everyday he says "you never rub me" and I DO IT EVERY DAY, AHH!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111
