Things still suck. Why is that? Fucking bullshit, it is. I'm in front of the heater in the flat, with Round the Twist on in the background, typing this on Larisa's laptop. She's shitting me to tears. Better than Fiona, obviously, but she still can't make a decision for herself. Everything goes through me - I have to make the final decision, I have to initiate when we clean, when we get more food, when we have to do anything housey. She can't do ANYTHING for herself. And she goes to uni ONCE a week, for 2 hours, and is so rooted she can't do anything except watch telly. FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!! So I do everything STILL. And no matter how many times I argue, fight, refuse, ignore, reason, anything, she won't change.
ANyway, I have yet to finish Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - I've got a quarter of the book to go, but I don't want to finish it. When I do, that's it, I can't read it ever again in the same way. I couldn't put it down when I got it yesterday. I was gasping out loud and "OH MY GOD"-ing all through it....so much stuff has happened already, you can't imagine any more stuff happening, it almost seems too much. But once I finish it, it won't ever have the same effect again. I can never read it for the first time ever again and that is really sad. This is like when I read the Tomorrow When the War Began series for the first time: when the last book came out I was scared to read it cos I didn't want it to end. This is the end of an era! I don't want this era to end - the Harry Potter world has been such a big part of everyone, even those who haven't read the books - everyone knows about it, kids think it's real, some adults (ie. me) wish it was real, wish we could have gone to Hogwarts, wish we had wands and magical ability.
I will finish it, obviously. I can't not know what happens at the end. And there's still 2 more movies to come. But the story has ended and we (eventually) know what happens to Harry and all that, so seeing the movies - like reading the books - won't ever have the same effect.
Oh dear. Like I don't have enough on my goddamn mind.
