Unprecedented

Congratulations to you and me. We are privileged to be alive for an unprecedented eight days in the Harry Potter world. While yesterday i may have looked forward to July 12th as the only day i would be waiting in a long line for a really long time before the clock strkies midnight and July 13th becomes reality, now i know that on July 20th i will be waiting in what will probably be a en even longer line for a longer time. When the 21st rolls around, i have no doubt pandemonium will ensue in every major bookstore. I also know that i will be dead to the world for the next day or two. I'm ok with that. You should be as well. When i emerge, i will be overjoyed, heartbroken, and probably an emotional wreck. There will be no more speculation except for that concerning possible sequels which hopefully won't come.

There has never been a more anticipated book release than this. Before i read Harry Potter i wouldn't have imagined the phrase "anticipated book release." This is bizarre. I'm excited. Really. It's going to be hard to read the last book, the last chapter, the last sentence. I will want to read slowly but there is just no way that will happen. My dad said he felt sad when he finished LotR the first time. I did as well, but this is my generation's series. I can't get over the fact that is has all happened over the last 10ish years. So much excitement. I get to share this with all my best friends (except Paul, because he is lame. you still have a chance to experience this w/ the rest of us. you could even wait until after OotP hits theaters before you start HBP. Think about it. This is huge).

I better be home when all this goes down. End of story.

A Prayer: Dear Jesus, please wait until after July 21st 2007 to return. I know your timing is perfect, but this means a lot to me, probably way more than it should. I mean the whole story is made up. But seriously. After July 21st would be great. mmmkay? Thanks for your blessings. Thanks for the creative minds you've blessed us with. They're pretty powerful. In your name, amen.
