AAAAAUUUUUUGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! GLEE!!!!!! I just got Mod’s Choice for my Nightcrawler pic! ::dies over and over again from sheer unrepressed joy::

My first time ever, booyeah!

Eee, I’m crying tears of joy in a public place. Man, my week is officially made.

So. OotP. I hated it because I loved it. I challenge anyone to read it without a full box of tissues at their side.

Reaction soon to be posted in my LJ, as Blogger has no spoiler-cut feature.

Whee! Last night, I was quite possibly the first in the store to acquire a copy of HP5. I was the first at my register (pure, pure luck) out of about 5 or so stations. Spent three hours babysitting kidlets, amusing myself as I figured out how every one of the magician’s magic tricks were performed (I had about a 90% success rate), scrutinizing the second edition of David Colbert’s “Magical Worlds of Harry Potter” for a correction in the bibliography regarding WIAN (corrected! W00t! I showed this to my friends, who were impressed), and generally flailing about and being silly. Hurrah!

Because I am a Good Girl, I only allowed myself to read the first hundred pages last night, as the photography workshop is still going on and I have full days ahead of me. If anyone posts spoilers, I will officially lay the smackdown. And I hereby promise not to post anything remotely spoilworthy until the fandom generally decides it has been an appropriate time.

So yay.

Tonight, tonight won’t be just any night,

Tonight we’ll put an end to the wait.

Tonight, tonight, the three years end tonight

And we’ll answer each plot point debate.

Today we’ll gather all our glasses,

We’ll paint scars on our foreheads,

And squeal with such delight

As Borders’ cries: Come out and read the book!

See who dies! Tonight!

Whee! The abyss is abolished! I looooooooooove my color photos from the glass blowing workshop thing. Whee, sho pretty… I can’t wait to scan them in and post them when I get home next week. Back on the 28th…

Potter countdown: *hums Les Mis’ “One Day More”*
