Well, yes, I know it's been a long time. The last time I posted something was sometime in the summer, and my background has been a beach for many months. "Stuff" has happened, and I've either been too lazy to write about it, or annoyed with my computer's dysfunction (it seems to have grown a brain of its own). You probably hate recaps, so I'm not going to do that . . .
Recently, I saw the first installment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and it was really really good. (I tell everyone that.) It also ended in a good spot, where there was a climactic scene, and a good stopping point so the second part can just . . . . go. (I also tell everyone that.)
It's almost the end of an era -- a decade of reading and re-reading, watching and re-watching Harry Potter. I don't confess to be a Harry Potter expert, but I will say I know quite a bit, enough to win trivia games. Harry Potter is the only series that I have been so dedicated to, next I would say is The Chronicles of Narnia, then The Twilight Saga (I only re-watch with friends never really because I love it and think it's so amazing). When I was a kid though, I really loved The Baby-Sitter's Club.

How Far WIll You Go for an Obsession?
I'm running on only 3.5 hours of sleep. Why do I do this to myself? Oh wait, because I'm a self-proclaimed nerd, and I love my nieces and nephews and apparently their friends. Last night I froze my bottom off waiting outside from 8-10 pm, and then in the theater from 10 pm-12:01 am to see The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
It was about 20 minutes before we were to go into the theater that I started handing out the tickets when I realized I was one short. Luckily, I had the receipt, so I got the manager to sign the receipt, and I was able to get in. Later I learned that I handed one of the kids an extra ticket (they were stuck together).
Once we got inside and claimed our seats, a group us took our camping chairs out to the car, and some people watched Twilight on the computer before the movie started, of course, so they could have the story fresh in their mind, while other people napped for about an hour or so before the movie--hey whatever helps you stay awake during a 2+ hour movie.
So, that is why I am only operating on 3.5 hours of sleep. Eventually I will take a nap, or just go all day like I did last year.
The things we do for our obsessions!
