I am an official nerd. Someone should throw me a lame party so I can have an official coming out.
Anyway ... I took a break from studying on Friday night so I could go buy the new Harry Potter book at midnight. When Book 5 had been released I went to Meijer and waited with like 10 other people for them to uncerimoniously bring out a pallet of books at midnight. This time however Meijer decided to throw a Harry Potter party. lame pathetic and pointless. So they had free cake and some stupid scratchoff tickets where about 15 people chainwide would win a complete series of HP. big woop.
At 11:30 there was complete chaos when a half skid of books was brought out and everyone tried to line up in front of it. Ten minutes later after everyone was comfortably in line and patiently waiting out the remaining 20 minutes, the idiots in charge decided they didn't like where the line was and told everyone to line up behind this woman who wasn't even in line, shifting the line about 10 feet to the side. There was a rush reform a line, meanwhile everyone is pushing and trying to dodge the tables and chairs in the cafe so when the line reformed we were literally crushed together. I could not have gotten out of line if I had wanted to we were so tightly packed. And then, and then one of the two perverts behind me decided to pinch my ass. Had I been able to lift my arms in the crowd I might have decked them both. I thought about yelling 'rape' or bitching to the store manager but in the end I got my book and I went home, complaining would have just wasted minutes I could be reading (when I should have been sleeping).
I finished the book this morning, it was not the ending I had expected but intriguing nonetheless. It will be agonizing to wait for the next installment. But, if it takes her as long to write the last one, I will not be reading to the detriment of exam grades.
