harry potter nerd

it suddenly occured to me on sunday that i had been in posession of the final book of the seven and i hadn't read more than 100 pages. so i decided that i was going to read it nonstop... right when mum was trying to get me to hang clothes out for her.

mum: bee! put that book down! get off the couch! come on, come outside...

me: mum... i'm reading HARRY POTTER!!!

mum: yeah yeah whatever, you've been reading them for nearly a decade, get up-
me: it's the FINAL BOOK!

mum: it's been in your room a week and you haven't even touched it and now that i'm asking-
me: mum! no matter what happens right now, even if the clothes get rained on, even if i have nothing to wear to work tomorrow, i'm not getting off the couch, i'm not taking the blanket off, i'm not going to stop reading. no matter what.

mum: what about at 6.30 when salsa starts? (sarcastically)
me: oh, well, then yeah, of course, i have to go dancing.

(at which point mum tackled me for the book)

anyway, i got so into it that i CALLED IN SICK today just so i could finish it.

plus i'm feeling extra potter-ish today because A. sat his butt right down on my glasses last night and now i have to wear my old ones that are round and nerdy and wizard-ish.
