Won't be around forever, girl

Finally finally saw Harry Potter 7 part 2 today, and well, this basically sums it up:



( Oh how I am not joking. )

Leaving early (eaaaaarly, ugh) Saturday morning to go see my sister in Chicago! Haven't seen her since March, so I'm pretty damn excited. Looks like the weather will only be a little less hot (but much less humid, thank God) than it is here, so that's good, at least.

First off, thank you so much to those who have given me LJ gifts recently. I so appreciate the thoughtfulness! ♥

In about five hours my parents and I are hitting the road for north Georgia for a mini-family reunion of sorts. It'll be good to get away for a little bit. BUT that also means that I'm going to wait to see Harry Potter with my friends until after I return, which will likely be no earlier than Tuesday of next week. And I wanted to write a heartfelt post about everything that Harry Potter means and has meant to me in the past, but really, all you need to do is watch this video (and yeah, I dare you to get through it without crying):



Thank you, Jo, for the Boy Who Lived. ♥

YEAAAH my shirt came in the mail a couple days ago.



Nerdiness and boobs go together so well.

SOOOO basically I am dying for this week to be over, because this weekend and next week are going to be pretty freaking awesome. Friday I get off work at noon and then I'll eventually be heading over to Orlando to meet up with regala_electra and ignited, where we will frolic through Magic Kingdom for the Very Merry Christmas party and stuff our faces with cookies and hot chocolate and ride Space Mountain twelve times, approximately. AND THEN on Saturday I will wear said shirt and we will go see Harry Potter and Epic Epicness to end all Epic, and there will be dinner and fangirling and BASICALLY IT WILL BE AWESOME.

And THEN, when I get back home on Saturday night I'll pack up again because my family and I are driving up to the north Georgia mountains on Sunday evening to stay with some friends of the family for Thanksgiving week. COLD WEATHER and mountains and omg I want it I need it. I feel only slightly bad for taking off another two and a half days of work for it, except not really.

ALSO THERE IS THIS SHOW THAT'S ON FRIDAY AND IT HAS THIS THING AND I'M EXCITED FOR IT. So. Friday. If you didn't get the memo, let's hurry it up a bit.

We were informed this morning at work that, haha, oh God. It won't mean much for the 95% who DON'T work at Starbucks, but. On Election Day last year the company decided to give away a tall coffee if you showed your election sticker without informing us employees weeks beforehand so we couldn't, you know, STOCK UP ON COFFEE. And coffee-like accessories. I cannot even TELL YOU how busy we were. It was a nightmare. FOR A 12 OZ CUP OF BLACK COFFEE. And then today we're told that this Tuesday, we're giving away a free pastry. I just. You've got to be fucking KIDDING ME. And then they send a memo, "Oh, don't change your pastry order! Eeeeverything is under control." FALSE. I don't care if they say they're going to autoship 20394832 tons of pastries, SOMETHING WILL GO WRONG. Pastries, for God's sake. People like food more than they like coffee. I open that morning, and I've already told my manager that I CANNOT stay any later than 10am, as I have to drive back home and kinda sorta CATCH A FLIGHT. Seriously. Disastrous. Just awesome.

And by the way, customers of Starbucks, I am not your coffee robot. I am a human being, and I like being treated as such. Buy an espresso machine if you think you can do better.

Sorry. All I've pretty much been doing is working and coming back and pretty much working the rest of the day on homework and nothing else. Still haven't got enough done before going on the trip. Summer terms are glorious for being so short but maaaan, do they cram a lot in in 6 weeks.

I DID see Harry Potter on Tuesday and I really really liked it. As an adaption maybe not so much but I dunno! There were just these little things all throughout the movie that just made me STUPID with glee! I need to reread the book again though, definitely. HAHA the part at the end with the Felix Felicis. BEST.

And oh yes, oh yessss, 4 days until the trip. I am BEYOND excited. Just gotta get through this 6 day work stretch, SIGH.

For now, let's just say that I've been crying nearly nonstop for the better part of an hour.

My heart.

( AHAHAH;lfja;lsdjkf. )

Ahahah SHOEBOX. Oh man. I have kind of missed this. (Have I told anyone that I am SERIOUSLY IN LOVE with James? It's kind of. Yeah.)

It is thundering again! But not raining. This is getting ridiculous.

I am so damn tired of doing closing shifts. Been doing nothing but for the past two weeks. Uncool.

I kind of feel like cooking...?

Ohhh yeeeaaahh, pretty much had this dream last night about Dark Angel AHAHAH. We were at this place where it was crawling with people, and some of them were playing soccer on a concrete ground, and me and Alec were like, "AWESOME," and we played, but I kept tripping because the ground was concrete. I DON'T KNOW. And then something happened, I can't remember, but me, Alec, Max (Jessica Alba you are NOT ALLOWED in my dreams ever again, okay?), and some other people of whom I had NO idea were wandering around this facility, and then! We open a door just in time to see Normal die! Strangled, or something, I think. And then dream!self was like, "Huh, I'm not too shattered by this, really, but if I cry hard enough maybe someone will ~*~comfort~*~ me." And so I BAWLED, and what do you know, Alec took me in his arms and I smooshed my face in his chest. And that was the extent of that. But guys! I am devious in my dreams! This is kind of amazing.

We were going to take my parents to see Transformers tonight, but just as we got to the theater, a huuuuge storm came through and knocked out all the damn power at the theater! WHAT THE HELL. I was, and am still, pretty disappointed. I mean, Transformers, okay, I think I had a right to be. Augh.

I played around with an iPhone today at the Apple store and I want one really really bad now omg. It is so PRETTY.

I still have no idea if I'm going to the Deathly Hallows midnight thingy. I get out of work at 11:30, I don't think I have anyone to go with, I won't be able to each crack it open until after 4:00 the next day because I have to WORK all friggen' morning, so, argh. I suppose I should, just because it'll be the LAST TIME EVER. I am so sad, you guys. :(((

Please someone tell me WHY must I like h/c so much. An;alskdjas. :(!

( HARRYYYYYYYYY!!!!JFA;LSFKDJGJ )

The suckiness only gets worse on the day that Deathly Hallows (which, in my mind, I still automatically read Deathly Lollows, thank you internets), as I get out of work at freaking 11:30, and then go in the next morning at 8:30. WHAT THE HELL, UNIVERSE. Seriously, if people come into Starbucks running their mouth about what happens in the last book? I will punch people in the face. ARGHH.

Guys, on the way to the theater there was a temperature gauge on a bank, and it said 89 degrees. At 10:30 at night. With 20938420398 million percent humidity. :(((

Oh man. Time for go to bed.

Today, in list form:

- Today's my dad's 53rd birthday and this morning I told him I loved him just before they wheeled him down to get prepped for back surgery. I've never... I haven't been in a hospital, really at all, besides when I was born and when my sister broke her arm when she was five, and it's just... unnerving. His ambulatory room was right next to the CCU, and that, well. Kind of freaked me out. I'm not used to it, I guess. This isn't my dad's first back surgery, but I'm nervous anyway, even if it is just a herniated disk. I just... I didn't want it to be on his birthday, you know? :(

- Today is also one mister Eric Complete-Owner-Of-My-Soul Kripke's 33rd birthday wee! Twenty years apart, haha neat.

- Totally skipping my Lit class today because I AM NOT driving to Tampa and back for an hour and fifteen minute class of PRESENTATIONS, especially when I already gave mine. Sorry, no. And if I have too many absenses (I don't think so, but still), I will totally pull the "omg my dad was in surgery" sympathy card ahaha.

- Of course, this means that I now have to start writing my two big final papers for the end of the semester and I don't waaaaaant to. :(!!!

- I know I haven't been doing much flailing on Harry Potter lately (or, um, ANYTHING else besides Supernatural and I AM NOT SORRY OK) but this trailer? Hoooooly crap. I got GOOSEBUMPS. I honestly wasn't expecting OotP to be that great, but AL;DKJFALSDKJF. I'm really damn excited now.

- And everyone and their mom (or, uh, maybe not) has probably seen this, but this Mario video? So freaking hilarious. He sounds like Christopher Walken! AHAHAH.

- IT'S ALMOST THURSDAY OMFG YAAAY!

ETA: Holy shit. I just got an email from USF saying the police on campus this morning found a guy sleeping in his car with .38 caliber handgun, a shotgun, and a knife, and arrested him. That's... I feel sick. :\

This makes me SO HAPPY OMG. I could care less about every other celebrity couple out there. I loooooove them, though. ♥


On the other end of the spectrum, ( this is pissing me off spectacularly. )


Omg I'm tired of writing papersssss.
