Excuses, Excuses
Harry Potter.
That is my excuse. Harry Potter. He took over my life, I tell you. Really, he did. I have spent every free moment reading that book. I finished it Wednesday, but I was so depressed I couldn't bring myself to write anything.
Other than Harry Potter, there has been...well...Harry Potter! Friday the 15th my brother and I got to the bookstore early to get our wristband so we could get our reserved book soon after midnight. After receiving our bracelets we left and got something to eat and then returned to the bookstore at about 7:30. Then the wait started...so did the crazy games, crafts, sore feet, weird costumes, and count downs ever half hour. The later it got into the night, the more it was just like camping. Some people didn't care what they looked like (costumed or not, they must have been wristband number 400 or so), then you just wandered around with your friends until you found a spot on the floor to sit. After sitting for a hour or so, you realized you were hungry and began the long trek for food. Then you sat and ate (without tables) on the floor.
I was still amazingly fun!
We saw all kinds of people (as you can imagine) and because it went so late, very few children where there. I actually even ran into some North Davidson people that I wasn't planning to see.
Between my brother and I, we only bought one book. At midnight they started calling up numbers in intervals of 50. Luckily, we were only number 63, so we were out of there at 12:30. I give the store credit, it was very well run. And there were no fights over books....and even more amazing, no protesters (probably past their bedtimes)!
While at the party you could get your picture taken and face painted. I even got sorted into a house (Hufflepuff, incase you are wondering). It was fun for a nerd like me.
We got home at about 1am, so I was pretty tired. I did manage to stay awake for the first chapter 'till I realized I was working the next day and I would hate myself if I didn't go to bed.
Other than Harry Potter (which was excellent, everyone should read it) I have been working. Same old stuff. Today I went to the doctor for my pre-college physical, I have started grabbing the odds and ends that I will need to take to school. I even applied to a gym in Greensboro today. Seeing as I have not been doing much else, I have let lots of stuff build up (like this jumbled post). I found out who my roommate is a few days ago, she is from outside of Hickory NC. I finally got to writing her letter today.
Gosh, I'm lucky I have a while before the next book, otherwise nothing would get done!

That was a very fun place Emily, however you forgot to mention the glasses...those were great....and also the fact that you now know that you are going to be married twice!!! Haha....I guess with all of the excitement you forgot!!
Much Love,
~Sally~
Congrats on making it through that rambling post, Deanna.
Yeah, everyone, the free Harry Potter glasses are classic! Also, the first thing the palm reader/house sorter said to me was (half under her breath)"Oh, you are going to be married twice." Why would you tell someone that!?
I know I'm late on this however...I was unable to go to the midnight party, as I was busy. And I had to wait a few days to get mine from the library. But I read it in about a day and a half. I gobble up Harry Potter. Very good, the entire series, but 5 is my favorite, 3 my second favorite, and 6 is now my third favorite. All of them are good, though.
