Buffistas

Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good

Closed Threads

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Not that different really from being at the comic shop when they open the boxes for the new orders, or getting in line for a Star Wars movie.

If you're doing the former, you're silly, because that's what pulls and a good relationship with your comic book shop are for, and if you're doing the latter...

Well, after TPM, you just have my extreme sympathy.

We will not discuss where I was for opening day of TPM, however.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

I have the new Harry Potter! Woohoo! Borders was crazy. There were a lot of people dressed up as Hogwarts students and there was one Sirius Black. Prison tats included. Very cool.

I would've been bitter as a camper too, going "You're going to get through a CHAPTER, reading it outloud...in that amount of time I could get through like, FOUR reading it to myself! Damn you!"

Probably most of the campers will like it though.

(Me, i'm waiting until tomorrow to go get it)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Getting woken up for a special thing would not bother me--I remember being woken up at camp to see the sun rise, which was very cool. Being woken up early more than ONCE would have annoyed me, even as a tyke, though.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I shouldn't have pre-ordered it -- I could have walked up to B&N and bought one when I woke up, but here I am stuck waiting for the mail to arrive.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I was going to say, I just walked by an enormous stack of them when I was at Wal-Mart.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Well, I've gone and spoiled myself for the identity of the HBP.

What I'm waiting for is the significance of the whole HBP thing and what being the HBP means relative to the wizarding world.

Art Crawl!!!

My book is in DeKalb. It arrived at 5:18 this morning.

Why isn't it HERE!?!!??!!

This time - it was shipped UPS. (Last book came FedEx.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm trying to decide if I want to drive up to my office today in the hopes that it was delivered there (as opposed to taken back to the post office since there was no one there to claim it -- but there's a security desk open 24/7, so I *think* they accept packages). Hmmm.

I spoiled myself, too. I really need to stop reading the ends of books first.
