Don't even talk to me

[theyellowhobbit]

I don't want to hear any spoilers. Not one word. Don't talk about that book-which-must-not-be-named...

So Harry Potter was supposed to arrive yesterday. About every half hour, I went to my mail box and checked it. Still no Harry Potter.

At around 5:00 I saw a pink slip. It said that they had tried to deliver Harry Potter, but failed.

What?!?!?!

I never heard them knock. I never heard them ring the doorbell. There were 3 people, Sarah, Rachel, and me, in the common room, right near the door, the entire time. We would have heard them knocking. What do they mean they "tried" to deliever Harry Potter? Did they expect me to stand outside my door waiting for it?

Needless to say, I'm very annoyed. It's in the Post Office of Death [as Tzion and Arona called it. Though apparently it's not so evil early in the morning] and I have to wait until tomorrow before Drisha to get it. And I have to wait until after Drisha to read it. How am I supposed to learn gemara when I have Harry Potter in my backpack?

Does anyone have a Harry Potter I could read right now? Anyone want to type up the first few chapters and e-mail me? It's not really breaking copyright rules if I'm the only one seeing it and I've purchased the book. Please? Please? I'll love you forever.

*Edit: Sarah just came back from putting towels in the laundry for me [long story] and she tried ringing the doorbell. Apparently it's broken. Which solves the mystery, but doesn't make me any less upset.

I have no idea what's at http://tbrn.net/hp/, but I've seen people linking to it...

Desh, can I marry you and have your babies and name them Harry, Ron, and Hermione?

Sounds good! As long as we can pronounce the girl's name "HERM-ee-own".

It's gone, I'm too late! :( I suppose that's good for my eternal soul or something. But right now my eternal soul wants to read it too.

Funny little cat you've got there!

Don't worry; you'll have the book by tomorrow.

Hey, were you in the 66th st station uptown last Thursday at five-ish? I saw someone who looked awfully like that picture icon you used to have, but I didn't quite like to ask "hey, are you that LJ person whose name I can't pronounce?" so I didn't.

I might have been there around then. [though lately I've been taking the A from 59th street but sometimes I take the 1 to 72nd in order to get Tasty-d-lite]. If I was there, I was probably wearing a long olive skirt, and a black skirt with tan sleeves [though I'm not sure about the shirt. I changed it later on that evening, so I'm not sure what I originally wore].

And you could always say "Hey are you Rachel from LJ?" since Rachel is a lot easier to pronounce than sen_ichi_rei.

Good thing I didn't, the person I saw was wearing trousers. :)
