Harry Potter, what else?
Yeah, lately I've really only been posting in my spurts of random fan-girly-ness, but I needed to get it out there.
Who has finished the book?
Here's my epic story behind the reading of Harry Potter (completely spoiler-free for the moment). On Friday night and Saturday I was in Cape May on a pseudo-vacation with my family. I came up Thursday night and really only got two days of that awesome beach and sun unfortunately<--I have some stories to tell about that too, ask me about it in person, I'd love to tell, but it feels rather stupid to post it on livejournal. Anyways, I digress. I was sitting on a bench on Washington Street, watching all of these kids walk by with Harry Potter in tow. I was just bouncing in my seat, begging my parents to let me run into a book store and purchase it. Of course, they knew that with the book I'd be primarily focused on reading it. Forget vacation, forgot socializing, even forget the bunch of good-looking guys stalking the beach- I would be engrossed deeply in the last leg of Harry's published adventures.
So I didn't get it. My dad suggested mugging one of the kids to get the book if I wanted it so badly... Umm, I'm not quite that bad. Really.
Anyways, I enjoy myself at the beach. We get Mister P's Pizza around 8:30, we get lost in the worst neighborhood in D.C. around 11:30 at night, I'm dropping the f-bomb like its some air strike, and we get home around midnight. Borders, as well as every other store that might stock it, is closed. I decide to get it first thing in the morning. Mom agrees to run errands with me the next day.
Dad ends up lecturing Meghan and I until roughly 3 pm. I'm impatient as hell and fidgeting around with ants in my pants. We hit a few stops and then head to Walmart, they'll definitely have it. I doubted if anywhere coudl sell it cheaper than their $17.78- and I was correct. Mom doesn't allow me to read in the car, insists that I clean my room, socialize with everyone. ALL I WANT TO DO IS READ.
And so I spent the evening-evening (atarting past 7 on Sunday, I was SO late!), the morning before work (hahaha... that was funny, and yes, I was five minutes late getting in today because of it.), all of my breaks (except when I was helping Justin and Cordell list off the 50 states- I can't explain besides the fact that Joann's is sometimes very funny to work at), and this evening.
And I'm finished.
Unfortunately I want to be able to work tomorrow, so I'll leave my thoughts and spoilers for then :D
