| Posted by: Pippin | | I can't wait...my hands are going twitchy. I'll have to ward of the crazy waiting by watching episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer all day. There's a countdown in the library I volunteer at, too. Stupid people forget to rip off the paper, so I walk in and see it's the same as the day before. So sad. On the 12th I'm taking part in a livinng chess match to honor Harry Potter. I'm either the Queen or the Queen's pawn, depending on if the Queen drops out, like she might. Woot!

Why don't you blert out quotes? It would be cool
FP, you pale in comparison to the nerdiness of me, trust me. You may beat me in Harry Potter, but I go to movies dressed up, I OWN A DARTH VADER MASK, I own THREE One Rings (haha, yeah, I know, not the One Ring if I have three), I have posters of X-Men and the Hitchhiker's Guide in my room, I've played D&D since I was ten, I am a member of the S.C.A., I go on Egg pilgrimages, I own a cloak, I high-five my friends with the Vulcan hand thing, I play LotR trivia while I pick berries, I've gone to school in costume before on non-costume days, I am a master at trivia games, I've had lightsaber fights aplenty, I've argued about the right way to pronouce Celeborn's name (I'm right), and I am actually near crying in panick about not being able to find Harry Potter 5. Oh, and I made a Viking ship out of a potato. I boast my nerdiness because I think it is really cool. I'm happy to be a geek. Nothing wrong with it. Actaully I think there's somethign wrong with people who aren't at least a little geeky.
Go ahead, post some quotes

I know people who are more HP geeks than me ... I have atleast 100 film posters on my wall, all A3, I have Harry potter countdown od and as my desktop, I used to WEAR the one ring until it got too small and have giladrials pendent. I dont have any costums.
With all the sostunes on none custume days and the Vulcan handshake u beat me ... But if you were a true Harry Potter geek you have to know where you can get the book, ive had mine ordered as soon as they started preordering ... i no doubt ill be in line from about 9 o.clock, or something like that

| Posted by: Pippin | | We've had our number 6 preordered for some time. We won't have to wait in line, either, because we are from a small town and the people here forget about this little book store we go to. If not for the time difference, I'd be reading it before you. Nyeah
We know wear to get more, but we don't want to buy another and then find the missing one.

I'll get there around 9 in the morning and will probably walk straight in and grab one of about 1000 copies that'll be lying about and then pay and leave. 2 minutes total, I bet.

Today I won't have a problem keeping busy and not thinking about Harry Potter. I just finished a 9-hour picking shift and have a few hours to recover before I have to go back for another four hours.
Gabo, I started watching again from Buffy season 1 episode 1. I'd forgotten how much I hated Xander's old hair. Long live the newer, shorter hair! Hurrah!
