I can take a shower in PA, too, though.

Not in a rain-free, bookstore-laden environment.

I guess it might not be quite the same.

You'd never have to buy a hardcover Harry Potter again.

But I like having copies of my books.

You still will. When it comes out in paperback. It's much cheaper.

Usually, I'd agree. But all the rest of my Harry Potter books are in hardcover. So, see, they need to match.

So you are willing to spend money on Harry, just not Marty?

Well, if you only cost $20, then sure.

All I'm saying, is that if you didn't go spending your money on books and stuff, and put some of it aside for airfare, you'd be here in no time.

And if you saved your money you could be here in no time, as well.


(Harry Potter is the only thing I've spent money on, other than gas to drive to interviews, so you'd still need to cost a lot less)

Don't turn it around on me. We're talking about you.

(Actually, we're talking about Harry Potter. Rebecca and I don't derail threads.)

And Harry Potter's worth spending $20. I'd say you're worth more, but I don't have much more than that.

The problem being, you won't be able to afford it until you get a job, but when you get a job, you won't have time.

That's why you should just move to Philly.

(If I was a teacher I'd get summers off, though.)

Yeah, but that teacher future is somewhat in doubt, isn't it?

Eh, depends, at this point I really just need some kind of job. Artsy would be preferable, but I'm more qualified to teach.

Either way, I want to live near Philly, where I could sit in the bookstores and read Harry Potter.

I was already partying with a few other friends, so we just decided to stay up a bit longer and go to the midnight release. However, after seeing the utter freaks at the store, I swore I was not going to be associated with that mob. So I didn't buy a book at midnight.

...

I dropped off one of my friends at her house, drove back to the store, and got a copy at 12:30am after the mob was gone. :D

About 2/3rds through the book. L_M is a much faster reader than I am as I've been at it now for about 8 hours. I rushed through the last one and didn't remember it all that well. Hopefully I'll remember this one better.

It's sooooooooooooooooooo much better than OotP thank goodness!
