I AM UP NOW

WHERE IS MY BOOK NOW PLEASE

Edit: Nine a.m. and my book is still not here. The newspaper had a fifty-question quiz on Harry Potter and so my dad came down and asked me all the questions and I got a hundred percent but only because I reread most of OotP. I think if you looked at the choices they gave you for each question it would be easy (for "What are the four houses of Hogwarts?" the first option was "Tinky-Winky, Dipsy, La-La, and Po"), but for most of them I just answered, so yay me. Last night my brother was watching the eleven o'clock news and they had a piece about the pope's dislike of Harry Potter and they showed groups of people ripping and burning and hating on the books, which to me seems ridiculous because dude, the HP books are not exactly the cheapest books out there, I wouldn't spend my money on something if I was only going to rip it up, but anyway, I was holding my copy of OotP, and as I walked out of the room my brother caught sight of it and cried, "That book is witchcraft! You're distorting your Christianity before it can grow!" Hahahahaha, my brother kills me.

Now where is my book?!?!

Edit 2: In Australia they have already had HBP for twenty-six hours!! MY TIME ZONE SUCKS WHERE IS MY BOOK

Edit 3: OMG A TRUCK JUST WENT PAST DO YOU HAVE MY BOOK????

Edit 4: NOOOOOO IT JUST DROVE BACK DOWN AGAIN ;_;

IF YOU SPOIL HBP FOR ME I WILL PUNCH YOU SO FLAT YOU'LL HAVE TO LOOK UP TO LOOK DOWN

MINE IS NOT HERE YET HOW CAN THAT BE????

Today was SUPER EXCITING but I have to calm down before I write about it, because I keep writing words in the wrong order because I am so excited. But before I end this entry, another tragedy -- I found a poster of Jesus playing guitar that said "JESUS ROCKS" and I was going to buy it for my brother, who rap battles Jesus on a daily basis, but THEY WERE SOLD OUT. HOLY MAN. Yesterday my brother and his girlfriend went to SkaFest and when they came back he had a ring on his finger and I asked if they got married and he said yes, and Jesus was their witness, and afterwards he and Jesus rap battled, and Jesus was wearing clogs, and Jesus always wins because he's Jesus, except sometimes he lets my brother win, and also Jesus goes to Subway just to sit and relax and he rap battles customers while he's sitting down, which is pretty amazing. My friend may have a keychain that says "Jesus is my homeboy," but for my brother, it's true.

Edit: Two minutes after I swear off my friends page until HBP arrives, guess where I find myself? I LOSE FOREVER

Also, I saw the commercial for "Iroppoi Jirettai" today, and OMG I don't even care if they're ripping off my favourite BoA PV, IT LOOKS AWESOME. That shot of Ai in the beginning? AWESOME!! I wasn't supposed to work today but I did and so if you ask me that justifies buying the single. DON'T WORRY, THIS WORKS IN MY HEAD. Also I have had "Iroppoi Jirettai" stuck in my head for the past billion days, but really only Koharu's line. I wrote Koharu's line on my cup at work today and then someone threw it out!! I THOUGHT WE WERE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE SUPPORTING KOHARU YOU NINNY!!

OMG "Baby Love" is on the radio I LOVE THIS SONG!

Edit 2: Hour one of avoiding my friends page, and I am pretty well dying. I wonder how similar this is to quitting smoking. It does not help matters that my fingers have been trained to type the URL to my friends page as soon as the browser is open. This is ridiculous. What's even better is that only this morning I was all "Haha, people avoiding their friends pages in favour of Harry Potter, how silly," and now I am doing the same thing. Perhaps that is why it feels kind of like a fake thing that I am doing. Well, anyway, whatever, I drank too much soda pop today and then I laughed too hard and now I feel like I am going to explode. Wasn't that a surprise ending for an LJ entry? Surprise!

Edit 3: "Iroppoi Jirettai" icon! REINA REPRESENT!! I wonder if this is the first "Iroppoi Jirettai" icon on LiveJournal. I don't know, as I'm not checking my friends page!!

Edit 4: My first non-customer of the day was a woman who asked for the picture menu. I gave it to her. She looked at it for a while, then handed it back, saying, "No, this isn't going to work." And then she just stood there. And she stared at me. And I stared back. Because seriously, if she had decided she wasn't going to eat there, uhm, why was she not leaving? What did she expect me to say? I didn't say anything. And then she said, "I lived in Mexico for four years. This isn't real Mexican food." Now, yes, I know the company advertising scheme is based around presenting the food as authentically Mexican, but I really don't know who believes they're going to find authentic food of any sort in a mall food court. Let's get real here. Whether or not she meant it to, the tone of her voice came across as sort of hoity-toity, and like she was telling me something I didn't know. Said I, "Uhm, I know. You don't have to tell me that." Haha, man, I'm kind of awesome sometimes.

Then there was a couple who came with a preteen girl, and apparantly the girl only spoke Spanish, and so the man was trying to translate the menu for her, but his accent was worse than mine, and that's saying a lot. He said "carne" like "car-knee" and I almost died. I mean, his vocab was swell, but dude. And then the girl went off to find a seat and the couple were discussing why she's acting differently lately and I'm just standing there like, dude, she's a preteen, I'm not sure why you're surprised. I was not so bold as to say this part out loud though. They kind of annoyed me a little bit because of saying "Pardon?" when he missed what I said the man just sort of leaned forward and made his eyes all big and it was strange. AND THEN WE BURNED THEIR FOOD oh man remind me to tell you about it, Best Story Ever.

New York Fries has a banner up that says "Win a [prize, I forget] or be one of 299,999 losers!" and I think it's the funniest thing ever. I am beginning to notice the different attitudes in the advertising of the various food court establishments. I think advertising can be very interesting. You're lucky I never posted my thoughts on that clothing line ... George from London or something? "Fashion from the streets of London"? Because I had way too much to say about those commercials, oh man.

I suppose not everyone is addicted to the Leaky Lounge as I am.

There's a local roundtable discussion show we have here and it's always kind of lame, but last night they were talking about Harry Potter and they seemed to believe that the only reason people were excited about its release was the unusual way it was marketed, with the tight security and the one minute after midnight thing. They believe that the only reason the security was so tight was because it would be interesting marketing. They believed marketing hype was the only reason people were looking forward to the release. And now my mother has bought into that same idea.

Wow. Way to miss the point.

Today has been very unusual. Just ... unusual. Most of it good, some of it ... unusual.

Anyway, I went out to a barbeque at a friend's house and now I am back and I still like my new icon, which is good. :) I got to talking about HBP with one of the girls at the barbeque and she was careful not to spoil me, which I very much appreciated, but she did talk about the first chapter in general, and now I am more curious than ever, which kills me because for some reason unknown to me the earliest I am getting my book is Monday. I really don't get it and it makes me crazy annoyed, but at the same time it's kind of interesting. And unusual.

I still want to tell the fire story, and other things, but I dunno, not now I guess. I hope I still remember what I want to say tomorrow. x_x;;

Edit: My cousin and his wife are still coming on Monday! And I have the day off! And we are going to go to the harbour! And it is going to be much more awesome than HBP. Remembering this makes me feel much better about everything else. :)
