"I think I'm paranoid!" ~Garbage

[lumy12]

Why can't I make myself work this week? I have time to be typing up my notes, that's what I should be doing. Meh.

The diet is taking a mini-vacation this week. Three work parties! And leftover cake in the fridge that's already calling my name! I'm sure I'm not losing weight anymore because I'm gaining muscle. Yeah, that's it. Yup.

I got my passport yesterday. Yayyyyyyy! It's shiny and pretty!

It's official: I have failed to reread the HP series before DH comes out. Oh well. I'm in the middle of OotP now.

I don't consider myself to be a paranoid person at least compared to some of y'all, you know who you are!, but I do know there are cruel people out there. The release of the final Harry Potter book is all over the media. I might as well jump on the bandwagon and take some precautions. Disabling non-friend commenting on my journal until I've read the book - which really would only affect my brother, as my other non-LJ-friends have apparently stopped reading this - but I don't think I'm going to be saying anything comment-worthy of him in the next week anyway. There's only a few communities I'll set on my notifications to let me know when there's a post in them, other than that I'll filter them off my list. Won't read emails/comment emails from people I don't know.

Whee, paranoia is kind of fun!

I think I'm going to pick up my book Saturday morning instead of Friday night. I know someone who was spoiled waiting in line for one of the books. But besides that, I don't see the point of going out there to get it and waiting in a big-ass line only to go to sleep when I get home. Excited as I may be for the book, yes I'd still go to sleep - I'm just not a night owl! My reserve on the book is good the whole next day. I'm trusting Borders not to sell my copy.

I can't believe a week from now it will all be over. That's exciting and sad at the same time.

You can blame it on me if you want. :D

I'm not paranoid. >.> Is your paranoia thing talking about me? I bet it is.

I'm picking up my book Saturday morning. I don't think the post office would appreciate it if I broke in at midnight.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yes I will blame you, you evil skank! *snicker*

Nooooo you're not paranoid at all, nope.

i hadn't thought of going to those lengths to block possible spoilage from my lj, but it may not be a bad idea. it's going to take me a while to read the book i'm sure. i simply dont have the time to sit and read it in one streach. i'm not going to be able to stay away from the internet long enough to finish it first. anyone know how many pages this one has?
maybe i'll go to the bookstore wearing my iPod so i dont hear anything i shouldn't hear.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Good idea with the iPod. I haven't heard how many pages it is... I'm a notoriously slow reader so I'm a bit worried I won't finish it over the weekend, but I think I can kick it into high gear enough to get through it so as not to be spoiled. I can enjoy the details more on my leisurely second reading.

Hey, I'm cruel! But not THAT cruel...

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

You're not cruel at all, you just like to pretend.

[karinablack.livejournal.com]

*spank* :)

Before I get it, I'll be sleeping. After I get it, I'll be reading. So there. No time for spoilers!

Oh, and Hermione's a dude. >:D

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

But there's already spoilers out there - you could be spoiled BEFORE Friday. Ware ye! Go hide under a rock!

If I wasn't doing jedi_news on Wednesday and Friday I'd just abandon all but RPing journals. Bleh.

Poor Hermione!

[sweet-panda.livejournal.com]

Yes, but the spoilers aren't necessarily TRUE. And I already know what happens. Hermione's a dude. And Harry's gay for Ron. Cedric was faking his death and is actually Voldemort.

Yeah.

>.>

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Very true that they may not be true! But I don't want anything put in my head to detract from the enjoyment of finding out for myself.

Nice theory. :P Cedric would be so much hotter if he wasn't dead!

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

And I thank you VERY MUCH for opening yourself up to the possibility of HP spoilers by covering jedi_news for me on Friday.

I'm wondering when I'm going to have the time to read the book myself. It may turn out to be a good thing that I may not have internet access for a few days until this move is complete!!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

No problem! At first I thought it would be a good way to keep me busy staying up 'til midnight and all... but meh, now I'm going Saturday morning so I'll post it early and get off the interwebz.

Yeah. Screw unpacking, just get to reading before you find out the end!

Talking of Happy Pothead, have you seen the new film yet? I thought it was excellent!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yes, I did see it. I liked it but GoF is still my favorite. I'll have to see it again - parts of it seemed so rushed I feel like I missed things... wish I'd finished re-reading the book beforehand like I'd intended! You haven't read the books, though, right? And you liked it - good! I was thinking it might be confusing to someone who hadn't read the book. Maybe it's just me :)

[kevthejedi.livejournal.com]

I think it exceeded GoF. Was defo a good one for me! But I like all the films.

Nope, I've only read the first book, and that was after watching 4 films! Not confusing, the film tells the story really well.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I like all of them too. I really don't mean to complain about this one, it's just not compelling me to go see it over and over the way GoF did.
