Well, it's 4:36 a.m. It's any old Wednesday. It's another sleepless night. It's nothing new.
Except I'm seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 tomorrow at midnight.
Except this is the second time this summer I've pulled an all nighter whilst awaiting the arrival of a friend.
Except I wouldn't do this for anyone else, and so I can't take this for granted.
Except this is my last summer here before I'm college bound.
My pile of emotions is stacked so precariously high that if one more feeling was added on top, the tower would crumble and my brain would become mush. I can actually already feel it leaking. Okay, that's gross.
I can't imagine what my life would be without Harry Potter. Not even that though - just the revisiting of my love for the series. I heard it read to me and I read it myself countless times, but I became slightly disenchanted when I began hanging out with a friend who didn't really "get it." Because our friendship ended and because I got into the fandom, my life is a completely different story than it would have been.
I'm trying to prepare myself not to be disappointed, and also not to be too utterly depressed after the movie is over. It's hard. I remember when the Deathly Hallows book came out, people were saying "Don't worry! We still have the movies!" and now we don't have those. It seems our resources are dwindling, but in reality, I believe our creative outlets in which to showcase our love for this series are only growing.
All I have to say is that 1.) My tissues are already packed, 2.) My friends had better be ready to be groped when I need a hand during the movie, and 3.) My Winky the House Elf costume better win first prize at the Barnes & Noble party. Boo yah.
In other news, I just signed my best friend Bobby and I up to be extras in The Dark Knight Rises which they're filming in Pittsburgh this summer. BTW, that's where I live. They apparently need to fill a stadium with the fervor of Steeler pride. Which I don't have. But whatever. I mean, it's cool that we get to be in the same general vicinity as Gary Oldman, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Christian Bale, and Marion Cotillard, I guess. But like, all day free food? Come on. You know I'm there! Also, it's the day before my eighteenth birthday. What more could I want? (Well, a lot, but shut up.)
So, now that my emotions are in danger of teetering over the edge with copious amounts of anxiety, excitement, and a dash of nausea, I must embark for the retrieval of my friend Daniel who has experienced yet another trauma in his life this morning. In case you're curious, his bus driver got arrested at the airport and then the bus broke down about an hour later. Also, I feel terrible for recommending the MegaBus to him. Somehow, it was a lot classier when I rode it in New York last summer.
Weasley girl, out.
PS: Yes, it's possible to be a Weasley and a Slytherin.
