Okay, in the contrary way that I have, I had an HP epiphany while watching OoTP in the movie theater for the second time (and by the way, if there's anyone in NYC who wants a harry potter buddy to go watch the movie, let me know, I'll totally go see it again).
I realized (wer-doi) that this is THE LAST BOOK. ZOMG. *hyperventilates* I mean, it really hit me. So yes, I do want to read it, spoiler free. I'm going to have the rest of FOREVER to deal with the horror of what happens, so whatever. I'm going to read book 6 as soon as I find it in the many book boxes I have yet to unpack, but I WILL get DH on Saturday (or whenever -- I WANT to go to the crazy Harry Potter party, but I don't have anyone to go with, so I'll just get the book the next day like a normal grownup) and I WILL read it without Rach's clearance.
The thing is, there are spoilers EVERYWHERE on eljay. I mean, WTF? How on EARTH are there spoilers? The book is out there, sure, but has it been stoled? I thought they took care of that sort of thing when it happened with HBP.
So. Yeah. Going spoiler free. And buying Kleenex. Of course, this could just be because, as I said in my OoTP movie-post below, I am bouyed by my incredible ability to IGNORE COMPLETELY that which I don't like, 'ship-wise. I OWN DENIAL.
Oh, yeah. Got a 35T on the MCATs. So I'll hopefully be able to get into med school. Rock.
