Sorry that I haven't updated my blog for a while. I assure you that I had the best intentions to do it earlier. My internet has been very unstable lately...I've got to look into that. Anyway, I also have been looking for a new job. So I really am truly sorry. On July 18, I went to get a wristband for Harry Potter 7. I am so glad that I called Barnes & Noble that day because I assumed that they'd have been given out that Friday. I camped outside of B & N that night to receive my wristband. It was a pretty funny night. Haha. You would know...if you had been there. I won't forget that night. I really wished that the cop had shot the window out, then we could have gone into the store and searched for the book! That REALLY would be a night to remember! I ended up being in Group A. Getting the wristband was basically the way of ensuring your position in line. I had to be one of those die-hard fans that camped out to get the book. I didn't get much sleep that night because we were all having too much fun talking and touching each other's weenis's! JK. I think that I am obsessed with weenis's and I bet YOU are too! Am I right? Well, the big night finally came, I had to work till seven. It was one of the hardest days at work that I have ever encountered because I was too excited to be there. I, of course, had to dress up as Hermione. I actually wanted to be Bellatrix this year, but I didn't have enough time to do it justice, so I used my Hermione costume that I already had. The party was fun to go around and see all the others that were dressed up. I saw quite a few amazing costumes. I got a tattoo of a 7, with the end like a lightning bolt. It had a picture of Harry on it. Then, at about 11:30, we all went outside to get in line. There ended up being tons of groups. It went all the way to Z, then AA, BB, and CC...I think. There were about 50 people in each group. I went home to start reading it. I had the whole house to myself. My family had gone to Jackson Hole, I was the only one not there! I am a little stinker. I fell asleep reading around 4:00 AM, and slept for a couple of hours. Then I read more, then I fell asleep for five more hours. I couldn't believe that I let myself sleep that long! I hastened to read. I kept reading until I finished that night! So, I did finish it Saturday, which was my goal. I simply loved it. I don't want to say whether my ideas were right or not, because my nieces are going to be reading this blog. I would say that a little more than half of my ideas were right, but there were some huge surprises! I had one person that I thought would die, but they didn't. Maybe you'll remember. You may call me, if you want to talk to me about it. I know it has been a couple weeks, but you are more than welcome to. I loved the ending; it was perfect! Here are some amazing pictures:
Thursday morning, we are getting our wristbands!
Wow! It's Hermione
Hermione and Harry. This is the couple I was rooting for.
This is the Harry that B & N provided for the enjoyment of the customers! When I was over there or near that area, there were many people who asked if they could also have their picture taken with Hermione as well as Harry. I found this very amusing! Actually, I loved it. I also have to mention that while waiting for the book, I meandered through the aisles and found myself in the math section. I have never seen so many different book for dummies than in the math section. This was quite funny. Back to my story, there were some little girls that wanted a picture taken with me. After, they asked me why I was looking at math books. I convinced them that math was freaking amazing. They promised that they would try harder in school. I hope they do.
This concludes my blog entry. I am in a really funny mood tonight as I sit here on my trampoline using my neighbors Internet. Mine is still not working! Let's talk Harry Potter sometime soon, and if you haven't read it yet...GET GOING!
XOXOXO
