Just call me the Queen of Stupid

[azurite]

Ugh, I'm an idiot. The official Idiot, the Captain of the Idiots, the Mascot... ugh. See, I got all excited and hyped up about two measly things this week: one, the possibility of spending more time with Scott by going to Disneyland/Magic Mountain on the opening day. That idea fizzled out pretty quickly, seeing as Scott not only said he wasn't much of a Disney person on July 4th, but the closer we got to the date in question, the less likely I'd be able to switch shifts with anyone who got the day off. So I let it go. This does NOT imply that I wanted to work more than I wanted to be with him... rather, I'd spend more time with Scott if I could and he WOULD try... but like I said before, I'm past the point where I want to make all the efforts.

The other thing was the Harry Potter party. I've never been-- it sounded fun, if a little geeky, but a chance to meet new people. I guess Scott, Baba, and my own inner nag's voices have all got through to me,  because more often than not, I feel pretty lonely without someone to talk to in person about stuff. And my co-workers have proven to be less than companionable, for the most part: J (most likely in jest, but still, it kinda hurt that he said it) said of my reasons for wanting to get off work early today and go to the HP Party (which I stupidly did NOT realize was last night...) -- "Wow! You're a freak!" Maybe it was just a painful reminder of my school (mandatory) years.

Well yeah, so I'm pretty bummed about missing the premiere party (I have good reason for thinking it was supposed to be tonight/last night, and not FRIDAY night; all the Borders emails and such I got indicated July 16-17, not *ANYTHING* about July 15), especially when I had this whole opportunity to dress up/cosplay and maybe even look decently LIKE a character. Instead I came home with HPB (now about 1/4 of the way done) and read for a bit, and promptly passed out after I got upstairs (to read in a "more comfortable" place). There are some biggies-- but not like OMG!!! JKR, HOW COULD YOU!!??!? Not yet, anyway. But the book review in the Daily News said "I haven't cried this much since Charlotte the spider (of Charlotte's Web) died." So I'm steeling myself for all the possibilities.

I've got some banners done for ygo_verse #15's winners, but I missed my own challenge at ygo_awards and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do the posting of the votes (I think I am, as I'm probably the only one who can see the screened comments, right?) or not. I've got to do some for ygo_offtopicon this week, just because I have some great ideas, and I refuse to come up with 2 fantastic ideas for challenges (last week was "Indiana Jones") and not participate.

Not sure how 'Net will be in SF, though-- 56K, if I'm lucky.

Anyway, I have work tomorrow (er, today) at 9:30, so I'm going to head off now.

Borders Party

[katiat325.livejournal.com]

You didn't miss much at the Borders party....I'm assuming they were all the same (since the stores are all the same), and it was boring as hell...thank goodness I was there with people I could talk to (steph, eva, richard), but yeah, you didn't miss much...

and as for the book...i cried so much because of the last few chapters...damn her for doing this (JKR), and it's definately the most suspenseful cliffhanger I have seen in her books...now we have to wait a few years for it to finally end...

PS., Can't wait to see you.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I decided not to bitch-slap you, so you can breathe easier)

Not that I feel loads better about missing the party, lame or otherwise, but hopefully we can have party of our own (HP-related or not) when I get to SF. We better arrange something, dagnabbit! (23rd, bonfire. It's for the guys you've met before, one of them is having his 21st bday. I don't know if you guys wanted to come?)

I did cry when I finished the book. I tried not to, remembering what the reviews said... I was steeling myself for the possibility of Hermione dying (since we knew Ron didn't die after the fight with the Death Eaters), and as she's my favorite character, I was holding my breath. The person who DID die didn't make me any happier about it, but... well, that's for the post I just made, chock full of spoilers. Critique me on it, if you wish.

o_O Bitch-slap me? What did I do?
