500 Posts & this ones about Harry Potter. Wicked.
July 18, 2007
Well I had an interesting two days off. On Monday, my friend Matt came over. We downloaded around 120 songs to my iPod. I bought Gwen Stefani’s newest CD on iTunes and I’m still waiting for the rest of the songs to download - however I do have the ones I really wanted, which is what counts.
Then I went to a bar with my co-workers from hell. It was surprisingly a good time, although Bossman never showed up, apparently he was already sloshed tied up elsewhere. I obviously didn’t drink, since I’m not legal, but I did have a sip of KIAB’s Belgium Beer. Good stuff.
Tuesday was a pretty good day because Nifty didn’t have to work. His boss wanted to go visit his sister. We couldn’t go back to sleep after we got up at 7 so we decided to take his two younger sisters, Ellie-May and Olive, to Tim Hortons for breakfast and then to visit Nifty’s older brother for a little while. After that Nifty finally gave into my demands request to see Harry Potter 5. It was awesome even though I had to keep on missing vital parts because we had to take Ellie-May and Olive with us and they kept having to pee. They seriously would not let us do anything without them yesterday, talk about annoying. All of Tuesday I waited to hear from Bashful’s weird uncle, but he didn’t call me back. I left several messages and got no call back. I had booked a college tour for Bashful and had taken the time to ensure it included a few of the gym. I had planned my day around it and even had my cell phone out the entire Harry Potter movie waiting for Bashful’s uncle to call me - it was a distraction. So I decided that was the last straw. Bashful’s uncle ended up calling me at work today claiming to have lost my number (which is weird considering he called me all the time) and was sorry about missing yesterday. I quit anyway. I’ve been planning on quitting for a while I don’t have the time for it or the resources.
Anyways, I know that some of you (like Lass) don’t understand the whole Harry Potter fever, but I have always been a Harry Potter fan. Truthfully, I love the books more then the movies. The movies are still pretty kick ass, but the books are a thousand times better. I suppose you had to grow with the series; the first book came out when I was 11. That was how old Harry Potter was in the book, and that was the age it was directed at. However, the style and audience has grown as Harry Potter has grown, and I’ve been sucked in. I even started a few Harry Potter Fan Fictions (I also started a Twilight Fan Fiction called Blinding Light- but that’s a story for another day). I started A Love So Strong years ago and I’ve come to face the fact that it will probably never get finished; I keep loosing my password and I don’t really feel like resetting it nor do I really have the time to actually finish it (although I’d love to). Despite never having the time to finish that one, I started another Harry Potter spin off and it’s also barely progressed - although I love that main character. Anyways, that’s my nerdy secret; I wrote Harry Potter [and Twilight] Fan Fictions in my spare time.
Anywho, the point of that little story was to explain how much I love the Harry Potter books. I sort of derailed and started babbling but whatever, at least you all have 3 interested half stories to read in your spare time if you tire from blogs, or just need something more amusing.
By the way, this would be my 500th post since I started blogging way back when.

I only watch the HP movies because Emma Watson is cute. I don't really think they capture the books very well at all. I do enjoy the books quite a bit, though.]]>

< ![CDATA[500 posts! That's a lot. I hope I can get to my 500th post, I'm still in the hundreds...
I love Harry Potter as well, not as much as you apparently. LOL. No fan fiction, the only thing I'll do, and I scheduled it since last year, is go and buy the book and lock in and finish reading it with short breaks to eat or go to the bathroom.
It might sound...weird. But I really don't want anyone ruining the ending for me, somebody ruined it for me with the sixth book, but it won't happen this time. I'll return to the real world until I've finished it.
Oh my God, I just realized...this Saturday, I'll have it. =)]]>

Whatever floats your boat Avitable. If you like girls in training bras, well thats good for you. How old is your wife now? 16? lol just kidding
It’s now one day Kylah and I’m pumped! Although I won’t get it until Monday because I’m camping again
Oh I know Gaby, it’s so high because I have no life hehe
I do that too when I get the book, only I don’t take any breaks. I go to the bathroom and eat with it! That’s how crazy mad I am. Stop bragging you’ll have it before me, lol!]]>

< ![CDATA[That may be true but personally I've never found her attractive. I think she's weird looking, and she's not that great of an actor. Now I may just be jealous because she gets to work alongside of Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson. And that sexy Rupert Grint. Rawr.]]>

< ![CDATA[Whether you'll admit it or not Avitable, Rupert Grint is hot. I didn’t say he was a good actor though lol. However I think out of the two of them Rupert is better. And I’m jealous Kylah, take me next time you go to a film festival. I want to meet him! Emma Watson IS really annoying. I have to admit they have all improved over the past 4 movies. Remember Harry Potter 1?]]>
