So, who isn't going to Harry Potter tonight?

Like the subject says, who isn't going (or depending on time zone, hasn't gone) to the midnight release?

Anyone?

Bueller?

Crickets?

I'm not. Hell, I haven't even read book six yet.

I am working! No HP until after I move next week.

*raises hand* Me! I ordered mine from Amazon, so it will hopefully be here first thing in the morning!

There are currently fireworks going on outside, and I amuse myself to think that they may be for HP, though that is yet an hour and a half away.

I don't know, I would go to the festivities if there was someone I wanted to go WITH, particularly, but meh. I'll sit in, watch Farscape, read fic, and go to bed early, for then I wake and have a Deathly Hallows in my greedy little hands :)

Would you like to talk of John and Rodney? *g*

I read Book Six the afternoon after it came out and haven't read it since. Very hard trying to work up anticipation for this one, or the incentive to drive all the way across town at midnight to deal with the crowds.

HI REMUS HI! *licks your icon*

(I'm sorry, I have a nearly Pavolvian response to that boy *g*)

I'm not! I'm getting mine from Amazon at whatever time the poor woobie UPS guys manage to make it to my house :D Awww. I love my UPS guys. Maybe I should bake them cookies.

I am passing my time writing more Iowa. And reading my second of five books about smokejumpers :>

[identity profile] dogeared.livejournal.com 2007-07-21 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
I will be picking it up tomorrow, though. :D

No HP until after I move next week.

May you have much better traveling and moving karma than everyone else I've known has had in the past few weeks. It's virus-like... New people down the street just had the copper tubing in their basement stolen, my roommate was 8 hours late getting home after everything that could go wrong did go wrong on her flight back from Europe, houseguests stranded in various airports due to weather... Yes. May the Force be with you.

I won't. I have an essay to write tomorrow and the day after my family is picking me up and my cousin who I see only once a year will be there. I'll read the book soon after, but starting with book five I've been thinking that I've read fanfiction that I enjoyed more than the book and yeah...

I read book six that night / next day and haven't read it since, too. After she turned Tonks into a frail cliche of a woman i was all oh PLEASE.

My interest in the series really started to fade after book three. I pretty much only kept up with it because of Quoth.

Oh, Remus.

[identity profile] aesc.livejournal.com 2007-07-21 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hee! Me too, if I can escape from housework. We're to cut holes in the ceiling of my study to investigate the source of mysterious water stains.

My life gets more exciting BY THE DAY.

Funny how that happens *g*

*squeals into fists* HI DAVID HI.

How can she possibly mind the spam? It's Remus. *bites knuckles*

oh oh!! that sounds like the BAD kind of excitement :|

If I could have my book delivered with my newspaper, I'd be in bed already. Or if I knew I could just fall out of bed as soon as the bookstore opens and get my book then... But, no. :P

the poor woobie UPS guys manage to make it to my house

You know, I had a sudden vision of UPS guy!John who has Rodney on his route, and is constantly stopping by his house because Rodney compulsively orders books on astrophysics and whatever just for the sheer pleasure of writing insulting comments in the margins.

I am passing my time writing more Iowa. And reading my second of five books about smokejumpers :>

Hurrah on both counts, and my anticipation goes for both as well.

*continues with spammage*

More IOWA?? *transports of joy*

I live on the desolate side of town that has, like, the five and dime and skeezy corner bar; everything else is on the opposite side of where I am, so it's an act of will to get anything, including Book 7.
