Deathly Hallows and not-so-deathly memorials

Jul 15, 2007 21:16

So I was right. It was hard saying goodbye to Corinne, although it was far harder to express that to her family than it was to myself (and, hopefully, to her). I wish I'd had something profound and comforting to say, but my reserved, stoic self took over like usual. Hopefully, we'll be able to do a charity even in her honor and I can make it up to them then.

The memorial service itself was acutally quite uplifting. But I guess that will happen when you have five professional, classically trained musicians performing. The soprano was incredible. It made for an amazing send-off, even if everyone pretty much agreed that Corinne, modest as she was, probably would have hated all the attention. But if anyone deserved it, it's her.

RIP, Corinne.

So, now that I've started doing the livejournal thing, I realized I've picked a very bad time to do it. I was scouting around for people to friend the other day and I had to stop after a just a few minutes to keep myself away from DH spoilers. I think I'll give it a couple of weeks, allow the insanity to die down a bit, before I try again. Not that it should be that much work. I really don't know that many people in the fandom anyway.

As for DH, I'm facing something of a conundrum. I'll be at work until around midnight on Friday night and there's a bookstore two books down the street from the office. I could go straight there Friday night and get my copy, but if I did that there's no way I'd be able to stop myself from staying up all night reading and I have to work Saturday afternoon. I obviously want to read the book as soon as I can, but common sense seems to dictate that I wait and get my copy Saturday so I can have the freedom of an all-night reading session. I guess being one day behind the rest of the fandom won't kill me.
