(HBP in 4) I'm not lost, I swear!

Wow, has it been FOREVER since I did personal blogging - fanfic blogging does not count... ok, yes it does, for the mere fact all I've been doing lately is writing (and reading) fanfiction.

I will say this - I think fan fiction is my new love. Besides Zane of course! The desire to create stories is almost as addicting as the temptation to READ all that is out there.

Ok, so for those tuned in from PfP, MoA and my other lovely forums - I can't log into About. I don't know why, it is just being such a pain. It keeps shifting me to "guest" status after I log in and I KNOW it isn't the changeover, because it just started doing that this weekend. So if you are reading and wondering what the hell is going on, that's what it is!

So, no BFP and I'm offically in a mood over it. Strangely enough, not as much as I would have thought. It is possibly due to the fact I was pretty sure there would not be any happy announcements. I just wish my body would get in gear this cycle, so I'm not too upset over everything.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I think too much foruming feeds the frenzy *cringes at the the yelling from all my forum friends* Seriously though, after a few days of not foruming all over, I don't even miss most of it. I miss my friends, yes I do, but not the "need" to log in every day and read all the DRAMA. Of course, this is all because I use my computer time with internet (Zane gets this computer at night because it is the only one equipped to run his game) to read. I haven't been to the library in who knows how long, but I don't need to when there is so much online to read. :)
Granted, I'm sure some people can't stomach reading about the same characters over and over again in as many forms and situations as can be written, but I do!

However, I do miss you all, not being able to log in - however, I haven't tried since yesterday, maybe I'll give it a go after I post this.

Ok, now for the excitement of my life - Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince!!!!

Don't laugh, this is a big deal for me and it is healthy to look forward to something. It is good for the soul to learn patience. As of right now (3:10 a.m.) there is 3 days, 20 hours and 50 minutes until HBP. I'm getting so excited, but in a sick to my stomach kind of way because I am so worried about who she will kill off next! *prays it isn't Sev* For those of you who don't know my secret obsession, you should be ashamed. I adore Severus Snape. He is the-guy-I-love-to- hate- but-can't-quite-seem-to-find-the-heart-to-very-often. Now how's that for a title? :)

Don't get me wrong, I love the other characters like Harry and Ron, but I adore Snape. I also love Hermione to pieces, she reminds me so much of myself when I was younger. If one of my future children turns out that way, I would be proud - there are worse things than being a bossy know-it-all, everyone knows that. :) This is possibly why I am a SS/HG 'shipper in fanfiction (if you don't know what that means, but don't like the look of those two sets of intials next to each other, you just SO do not want o know what I am talking about). The fact remains that I love them both and I doubt either of them will get the pink slip of death, but I still worry.


So, to feed my excitement and obsession, this is my plan for Friday. Sleep during the day, haul butt to Wal-Mart to wait like a ravenous dog for them to bring out the pallet of books (that's what they did for OoP, I swear. No fancy display, just two wood pallets with the books stack on them), greedily drool at them until midnight, frantically snatch one as SOON as they cut the shrink wrap, rush to a register and then drive home and stay up all night reading, possibly waking up Zane several time with squals of delight and gasps and screams of horror.

Ok, so say it with me - "Jessi's diehard" It is the truth! For no other books have I gone to these lengths, except the Harry Potter series. I'm not even a "wait in line on opening day" kind of girl for movies, but I would set my tent up to get this book. If you love me, you will just shake your head fondly at my mania!

Ok, so that's it for me, I'm off to beat About.com into submission! Perhaps there will be mania tomorrow!

I miss you too... And I can totally relate to your de-foruming feeling. Im right there with you. Accept I feed the frenzy when I can. =)

Thanks Tara!

I need to stop in again, but I've been so Harry Potter obsessed the last few days I haven't had much time!

12 hours! *squee*

ahhhh Im not the Harry Potter obsessed person. I havent read any of them yet.Well chances are you wont read this for days since you are probably engulfed with the book by now. It has been out for 10 hours now. My cousins friend slept the last 3 days away so that she would be awake enough to read the entire book. She planned on camping out at the book store until she was done. SO how are you liking the book???
=)

I'm done and I am emotionally exhausted. And my head hurts.

Took me about 6 and 1/2 hours to read it, and I had to take a nap 2/3 of the way through because I didn't go to sleep at all on Friday afternoon/evening like I had planned.

It was truly the best, but the most heart and mind wrentching, of the series. I can't believe there is only one book left now.
