*faintly disappointed*

Dad offers to take me up to get the last Harry Potter book at midnight, then falls asleep. To be fair, though, I wasn't sure the store was open anyway.
-TD: All I'm saying is that they'd better not be sold out by the time you wake up.-
I doubt it -- I'm sure any bookstore worth their salt would order PLENTY of the books. It's the last Harry Potter, after all. *works on commemorative BTTF/Potter drabbles88*
-RPD: I'm a little surprised you didn't play your Super BTTF II rom right after Sims?-
I got on late, and I wasn't sure what I was doing tonight -- plus I knew I had to write something to keep you guys happy. You got your Sims though, right?
-RPD: True.-
Other news of interest:
-->The Girl Genius site keeps breaking! First the bandwidth thing, now we have a coding problem that's disabled the Advanced class. I suppose it's a good thing it's the weekend, Kaja and Phil have more time to fix it.
-->martyfan mentioned a SG-1/Transformers crossover, which brought up mentions of a BTTF Transformer. . . . There IS actually a real DeLorean Transformer -- a mini one called Swindler (or on the Wiki list, Switchgear). Some guy made a much more badass one, which you can see at his site Project: Steelskin, which also has a couple of picks of MiniDeLorean. You can probably expect to see a ficlet by one or both of us about a BTTF autobot.
-M: I'd shit myself if the DeLorean turned into a robot.-
-D: I suspect I'd have a similar reaction.-
Hehehehe. :p
Anyway, I should probably slip off to avoid spoilers -- I'll see you all later!

How I Got My Copy of Deathly Hallows

Woke up at around 9 after going to bed at 1 -- was gonna try and sleep in a little more, then I figured I might as well get up since I wanted to get the book. (Plus I was desperately hungry.)
Shower, eat, all of that -- we're out the door around 10. Drive up to the little mall we have near here, since there's a Waldenbooks there. We walk up to it --
And a girl sitting at the front asks if we're here to get the latest Harry Potter.
Well, yeah. She then informs us that they're only giving out copies to people on the reserve list (so going up there last night would have been a waste of time anyway). She does kindly recommend the grocery store next door. We head on over, Dad grumbling about how stupid it is to just be doing reserves.
But sure enough, the grocery has the book -- and for less than I would have had to pay at Walden's! So all in all, a good outing.

As for the book -- I'll just say this, I'm still shaking a little. MAN. And half the fun was imagining the reactions of other Potter fans as they read it too. Oh man, the HMS STFU is going to EXPLOOOODE

Okay, I need to calm down, and I need to see if my save took in my SNES emulator for BTTF II. And I also really need to pee. (Yeah, like you all needed to know that.)
