800 pages in a day and a half. Not since college. Too...goddamn...old...helpmeSpock!

So, read it. Still digesting. Had to leave the house every couple of hours when the brieze block in my lap cut off the circulation to my legs.

Got to torture Mom:
"So what's the Order of the Phoenix?"
"Salami sub with a side of chips an' a large Diet Coke."
"Uh...what?"

She got to torture me:
Harry, the reason Voldemort tried to kill you was that--
::door flies open::
"My GOD you won't believe what the temperature is out there!"
"GET OUT!"
"What? Wha'd I do?"
"Go away!"

Yeah, did that too. "How far are you?" "Seven hundred and twenty." "You're gonna finish that today?"

She has forgotten that I was once mistress of the eight-hour Dickens.

I blame my inability to pronounce three-digit numbers on trying to speak Russian after sixtyforty... sixhundred and fourty pages of English and a day spent on sending a friend to the Front. Where he will Fight. And hopefully Come Back Alive.
Of course, Sweden has not been in a war since 1812...

My mom being in another state, I didn't get these exciting conversations. I called her back after I finished the book and thought to check whether any messages came in while I was...distracted, with the phone ringers turned off.

I'm such a horrible daughter.

Some friends and I got our copies at midnight, tried to sit together and read and stop every three hours to gossip and theorize? But then we got to about hour five and realized oh my god it's only just now the first week of school and broke ranks, swearing to finish and meet for dinner and wibbling that night.

If I was smart, I would have just kept reading. But no, I was dumb and slept. Which meant that when I woke up and started reading again... I had to deal with my family walking in and being friendly.

"Has someone died yet?"

"I bet I know who dies."

"So it's Neville, right?"

"Does Draco get a sock in the nose? Does he? Does he?"

"...Has someone died NOW?"

Oh my GOD. It doesn't help any that my ADD is so intense I basically forgot the last three pages at every interupption. In conclusion, AUUUGH.

I went to the scrapbook store ("...because you can't SCRAPBOOK without CRAP!") yesterday and they were playing their usual Mellow Clear Channel Station[TM]. The deejay came on with "Aaaaaaaand we've heard that a MAJOR CHARACTER DIES in the new Harry Potter book..." And I'm thinking, Oh fuck. But they were holding a poll on who the audience figured would snuff it. So I didn't have to burn the store down.

I'm sure the resident staff of scrapbookers were pleased at your mercy.

The weird thing is, in the week or so leading up, every time somebody on the news would mention Dumbers' "I should have told you everything etc." I would say something like, "And then a shot rang out!" and she'd whack me with a magazine.

I don't know how the hell she managed to time that.
