I won’t be seeing it on Wednesday and I don’t know when I’ll be seeing it. However, I am SO geared up for it. :D

I wish I could have gone to the midnight showing just to see the ‘grown-ups’ decked out in their finest wizard gear. There were apparently 12 midnight screenings and a screening at 3 at one of the (2) movie theatres here in College Station, TX. All of them were sold out. That is insanity! If I could go, I probably couldn’t unless I got my tickets back in May. LOL! I went to the midnight screening of Prisoner of Azkaban with Allison and some other friends. That was awesome because we saw lots of people from our high school and the drama teachers (and probably other teachers…) dressed up like their favorite characters. Very entertaining, let me tell you. I’m thinking of going to the midnight screenings of the last 2 movies – HP & the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 and 2. Why not? I mean, it only happens everyonce in a while and people should enjoy the things they’re a fan of and relish in it while the can. I’m just hoping I don’t have an exam or projects due those days. Limited sleep is not good. o_0

Anyway, I’m just excited to see it. Hopefully I’ll be seeing it this weekend with my parents, or brother and sister-in-law – and maybe sister…, if things go smoothly and we have enough time.

I just finished re-reading the book this weekend. I forgot how much I love the series and the book, in particular. The last few chapters just get me and I cried all over again at the end of chapter 27 through the end of the book. I didn’t think I would since I didn’t get too emotional the first time around. Ugh. I ♥ these books so much and I’ve heard the movie is getting positive reactions by the critics. I just hope it measures up and beats the expectations. I was so disappointed with HP & The Order of the Phoenix so I hope I’m not disappointed with this one. It’s going to be amazing!

If you don’t know, SoGoPro is a new production company that is run by Hilarie Burton (Peyton on OTH) and a few other wonderful people. They have a blog and are trying to raise money for their company by selling shirts. I ordered on Monday and patiently waited for its arrival.

It was delivered on Saturday but I didn’t get to open it until last night, since I was gone. It came in a generic envelope with a little thank you note. The main note is more than likely copied from an original and goes with all the shirt packages. But I’m not sure about Hilarie’s signature. I want to believe it’s authentic because it’s in a different ink color and all that. IDK. I just think it’s soo cool.

The shirt was tied up in a maroon-ish colored ribbon. I think they read my mind because I LOVE that color. Anyway, I’d almost feel bad if I untie the ribbon and unfold the shirt. I don’t think I am since the shirt is PROBABLY too small and I’m not sure I’d really wear a signed shirt. I’m going to frame it or something.I’ll probably frame the note too or display it with the shirt or something. Guh. It’s awesome. I would LOVE to order another one but I’m a little strapped for cash right now. I’m hoping cheaper unsigned versions go on sale soon.

My camera sucks but I took pictures…

All together, I LOVE IT! :D I’m such a fangirl when it comes to getting things like this.

:-D I love him and his dorky self. I really wish they’d come to Texas so I could see them. It’s been way too long! *sigh*

I’ve been working for my dad, mainly. I went to Tennessee for a week to see my sister. That’s about it. While I was there, it snowed! Not a lot but still. I live in Texas so snow is rare for us. So this was cool!:

Memphian Snow!

Anyway. Life’s kind of boring. I’ve been working at my dad’s office, like I mentioned. I don’t have muhc time to do much of anything else. By the time I get home, it’s 7 so I plop in front of the TV and watch my shows. By the time they end, it’s shower time and I go to bed. Really boring. :-( I’ve been reading a lot though which is good. I’ve already read 6 books this month and I’m on my 7th. They’re not the longest or more critically acclaimed books ever but they’re books nonetheless. They entertain me and I’m glad for that. :) My goal is to read at least 26 books by December 31 – and I think I can easily do that.

Kelly Clarkson’s new song ‘My Life Would Suck Without You‘ is fabulous. Of course, I like anything she does. I liked My December a lot more than a lot of people probably did. I can’t wait until her new album is out. She could probably do chants, throat sing, or anything and I’d still buy her albums. lolz. I can’t wait until HER album comes out either. Two weeks until the single, ‘Boy Like Me‘, is available on iTunes. Yay! :-D

I’m still in my pjs. My sister and I made fudge (chocolate Friday night and chocolate/peanut butter yesterday morning) and baked sugar cookies. I think we messed up the first batch of fudge because you can feel/taste the sugar granules. But that’s not stopping me from eating it. lol. It’s still quite good so I’ve been snacking on that all day. I feel like a pig but whatever. One piece every few hours isn’t bad, right? Maybe. Need to save some for everyone else.


I love her. Can I have that billboard in Houston? Please? Oh and maybe more of an effort to promote the show? It’s been lacking tremendously. I want to see ads on TV and in my magazines now!

I think I’m going to take a shower now. I’m all powdered sugary.
