Yes, I am a dork
Today’s the day. Will Harry die? Will we find out where Snape’s loyalty truly lies? Will Ron and Hermione get together? Will Harry FINALLY be able to tell off the Dursleys?
Instead of sitting at home, anxiously awaiting the delivery of my Amazon box, I will be at the movies. Seeing, you guessed it, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Perhaps when we get home, there will be a box waiting for me.
When the sixth book was released, I read it straight through in five or six hours. This time around, I have a baby. Not only a baby, but a sick baby. Something tells me it’s going to be more than five or six hours before I get this one finished. Therefore, I’m avoiding all news sites, news channels or anyone else talking about the book. I do not want spoilers. I will not be turning to the last page first to find out Harry’s fate. I want the pleasure of reading the book from start to finish not knowing what’s going to happen.
I hope those of you out there who are anxiously awaiting your own box, or who might already be reading your copy, have a great time on this last adventure with the Hogwarts gang.

I’m anxiously awaiting my box as well. I’ll stay up all night reading if I have to! And have fun at the movies; we saw it last weekend and it rocked!
We saw the movie last weekend also! It was great and so different from the other movies. I haven’t read the books yet, but would really like to!
I don’t know how I got here but, I was looking around and Maddie and I share a birthday! Cute.
Here’s how much of a dork I am - I had pre-ordered the book, but then Jonathan decided that we were leaving for vacation at 5 AM the morning of the 21st: roughly 6 hours before the book would arrive. I considered many options, not the least of which was staying home, getting the delivery, and then catching a bus to meet them in Chicago (could have done it inexpensively; Megabus trips are only about 30 bucks). I didn’t end up doing that, but instead told Mike that he & Jan could have the copy that got delivered to me, and I actually bought a second copy in Chicago to read on the road. Due to travel, and having to interrupt my reading to spend time with the family doing things like eating and sightseeing, it took me until Wednesday morning to finish, but at least the effing AP didn’t spoil it for me this time like they did last!
Your sister in dorkhood,
