I've got my book! I'm at page 141 so far, and decided I needed a break. (All the print is giving me a migraine.)
I've been feeling especially ill all day, but this is the last HP book here! I was going to the damn midnight release if my appendix burst! (And I'd have a nice, long book for the emergency room wait.)
Several times while I was there, I felt so horrible, I was concerned I was about to pass out, but I managed to stay upright; partly out of sheer will, and partly because there were so many people that even if I *had* passed out, I'd have stayed upright; absolutely no room to move!
It made me even sicker, but I'm SO glad I went. I was so happy (and depressed about the end being so near) that I was on the verge of tears the whole time. Still kinda am.
There was so much going on! It was wonderful! There were lovely people, everyone had this feeling of good-humored cameraderie such as I've never experienced in a large group of strangers. It was like we were all old friends, and even though I went alone, I was among all these people I'd known for years, through love of the books.
I'll post later on the details of the party. I'm off to keep reading.
