Shit's all sorts of different now.

I got Stag and Eagle. I was thinking cat or squirrel or something.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I got Wolf on both, even though I chose Badger on the one. And I still think it would be a badger. It'd be bloody useless against dementors because it'd be all grumpy and snarly and it wouldn't fight dementors at all but it would go get me cigarettes and Michelob.
Then I, like the valiant billytea, would take down the dementors in a drunken brawl and smoke some cigarettes.

I think I'd like a Bat patronus.

I got a stag on the first one even though I chose wolf.
I'm pretty sure my patronus would be some kind of monkey. A clumsy monkey. Do they make those?

You know what's awesome? Seeing the large number of adults hauling book 7 with them on the bus all week.

The EW this week is a special Harry Potter edition. So, aside from the bit about paperdol's book in it, it's well worth picking up. It's a total Harry Potter Universe Love Letter.
The end page essay perfectly articulated why I loved the epilogue.

Totally. Although this morning there was one woman on the bus who wouldn't move over to give me a seat, and she was about 70 pages from the end of DH, and I just wanted to whisper spoilers in her ear for spite.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I was the only one on my bus, although one woman asked me about it, as she was waiting for a long airplane ride this weekend to read it.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I am not afraid of cows, but neither do I dismiss them.
And cows are scary when you're walking home from the woods well after midnight and they're blocking your path across the path you need to cross a field and you're very stoned ...
I'm just saying.
