Bye :(

In a couple of hours I am off to the Airport and Spain for a week (getting up at 2am as opposed to not yet in bed at 2am is so not on) and I will miss HBP as it comes out, miss the mass fandom excitement, the first reactions, the quietness of LJ for the first day or two after it comes out, the crazy/angry/happy/pissed off posts (I've been spoiled, the reactions from some people will be crazy, really looking forward to reading those.) the first predictions and theories...

It makes me sad as I really wanted to be here to share this, as this is the one thing in common we all have and love and it is exciting, I am so excited and anxious and not about my flight or my first ever holiday alone, but about Harry and what he is going to face this time and I know that it will be great and that I will love it. A part of me wishes I hadn't spoiled myself quite so much, but after learning a few things my excitement has actually increased.

After I come back from Spain I am here for a day before going to Bulgaria for two weeks, so it will be a while before I read my flist because I am guessing that a week after the release people would have stopped using cuts.

Woe, why do I feel so sad? *omg misses you all already*

*big smooch*

Have fun in Spain!
Try not to think about Harry and instead think of the warm Sun toasting the sand below your feet. :).

I did! Sort of, it was definitely memorable (apart from when I was too drunk to remember) and sunny! Still, HARRY! :D

Yay for Spain, but why is you being there causing you to miss HBP on its release date?

If I'm able to get an english copy of the HBP on the 16th in a small Austrian village then you should totally be able to get one in Spain, unless you are right in the middle of nowhere with no stores around.

Have fun on your vacation, I will miss you very much ;-)

Well I was at a resort with a great number of clubs but no bookshops as far as I am aware and it really wasn't the type of holiday where I could read, the people I was with would have made sure of that.

Still better late then never that's for sure, can't wait to get my hands on a shiny new copy! :DDD

Is it good? What does fandom as a whole think? Is Snape really evil?

Have so much fun! You'll be able to get HBP if you want to, I'm sure. And if not - well, I promise to use spoiler cuts!

Hee, I did! Boo for missing the fandom reaction, at least you managed to read the book! :) *still don't have it, woe*

*misses* My god that was one crazy holiday, have a lot to tell you. Can't believe you wrote HP slash, have you read the new book? Is it good? What do you want for your birthday?
