it's all happening
I picked up Deathly Hallows today at around 10:30-ish? I dunno, I have short-term memory loss. I bought it at Target and it was cheap, $17.99 USD, which I think was a decent deal, especially since I didn't pre-order or anything. There were no lines or pushing and shoving. Just stacks and stacks of uncracked Harry Potter, the last and final installment.
*nostalgic sigh*
The clerk said, "thought you'd take your chances, huh?"
And I laughed, "yes."
I am not really involved in the fandom, but I have been waiting for this just like everybody else. It's weird, finally holding it in my hands. It made me giddy. (Just ask Dayl.) Or maybe that was my gummy worm-bears? Or my adorable laughing cow cheese! (Seriously? those little wrapped wedges? Stinkin' cute!)
At any rate I have had the book in my possession for about two hours and I have only read one page because I was on the phone with Miss Dayln avoiding the thing. I'm not really afraid I won't like it or that I'll be disappointed. Not in the least. I'm just afraid that if I start reading I won't be able to stop. I know I'll be sucked in. I was house-sitting the night of the last release, accompanied my friend Carrie's daughters to the Borders release shindig, and I didn't stop reading for two days, curled up in her bigass bed with her bigass dogs.
Oh, Harry.

Laughing Cow cheese is awesome! We had it at my friend's house last night on mini bagels, actually. And yay for seeing a Metallicar look-a-like. That's always fun.
Enjoy your HP book. LJ is simply crazy with it today it seems, but it's one of the few thing I'm not in on, lol.

Tomorrow is my nephew's birthday party. He'll be five on Monday! Five! I feel old! lol
You. Me. Have to hang out. Don't know when, though. One day after work, maybe? :-)

Yes we do have to hang out. I should see you (for real this time) on Monday. I was supposed to be in there on Wednesday but totally flaked and even missed a tutoring appointment. I never called or anything. I feel like such a bad person!
We'll talk this week. I'm up to Chapter 4. I think I'm going slow, but I'm a slow reader anyway. I like to call it attention to detail. Hahah.

Worked like one of Hermione's charms!
Have finished now, and feel most satisfied.
Hope you do too when you get there!
