I will confess that I’m a huge nerd. My friend, Ruth, has been pestering me to read Harry Potter for a few years now. Every single time I’ve turned her down and made fun of the idea. Shame on me, right? Well, a couple of weeks ago (July 8th to be exact) I was at a Todd’s house and Chamber of Secrets happened to be on TV, so my friends and I watched it to kill time. At the end of the movie, I was hooked. On the way back from Todd’s I stopped by Ruth’s house and asked her to lend me all of her Harry Potter books so I could finish them by the time the seventh book was released. Needless to say, that was the fastest I’ve ever read a series of books in my entire life. I finished books 1-6 at 10:30 PM at the bookstore.

Waldenbooks only had enough copies for all of their reservations leaving both myself and Ruth’s older sister bookless. Luckily Meijer had a big stash. To end the weekend, I went to see Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix. I’m exited for the next two movies.

2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged write their own blog post about their eight things and include these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged and that they should read your blog.
