The Best Day of 2005: July 16, by far

This is going to be a looooooooooooooooooooong post, so i'll get started. three topics today, but i think i'll save the best for last, or else i'll go on about it forever.

Okay, analysis of renaissance feast we cannot truly invent a kindness invention, cooperation invention, listening invention, or any other of those wonderful inventions we dreamed of on saturday, it's important to figure out how to get rid of all the STRESS associated with this concert.
1. better system for costumes, etc.
2. students listening to mrs. barton and not contradicting her
3. more organization and listening
4. and okay i'm tired of analyzing already. that was a stressful and frustrating day for everyone, and even though i didn't get too frustrated (i've decided i'm the most mellow person in choir, possibly the world) there is lots of negative energy there, and i want to get to my happy news.

Next up is work today. (not quite happy news yet). I was scheduled to work 2.30-10.30 today. Usually when I work that shift, i get one to two hours of down time, because everything dies down at night, and even during the day you get a decent amount of down time. The difference today is that they are forecasting a snowstorm for tonight. Now, those reading from Alaska or Siberia or Antarctica may not realize how this is relevant. The people in the tristate, for some reason, are terribly, horrible, completely, absolutely, one hundred percent terrified of any amount of snow. EVERYONE flocks to the stores to stock up on bread and milk. I said earlier i usually get one to two hours of down time, aside from breaks. Today, I literally had two MINUTES, tops. there was always a line. it was incredible, even at 10.30 at night, there were over a dozen people in line at various registers. i knew people in the area were known for taking snow extremely seriously (sometimes too much so) i'd never actually seen it before. we were absolutely mobbed. i'm glad i'm home.

Ha, now i get to share the best news of the century (since February of '03, at least). THERE IS A RELEASE DATE FOR HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE (for all you who don't follow harry potter as closely as i do, for some reason, or worse, don't even read it [gasp], that's the sixth book [of the seven book series]). Hee heee heee, i'm happy. I'm ecstaticl. JKR wrote this one a year faster than book five (evident in the fact that instead of screaming, shouting, and hyperventilating when i found out, i simply flew down the stairs in disbelief).


oh, you want to know what the date is? ;-) It's July 16, of course. what else would the title of this entry be referring to?



"Because that's what Hermione does. When in doubt, go to the library."

"One day, you'll read Hogwarts A History, and maybe that will remind you that you CAN'T apparate or disapparate within Hogwarts."
"Alas, earwax."
"I should've made my meaning clearer. I meant all tests set by a competent teacher."
"Jordan, are you being paid to advertise firebolts?! Get on with the commentary!"
"She seemed to think I cared more about winning the match than your life. Honestly, just because I said i didn't care if the broom bucked you off as long as you caught the snitch first..."
"Give her hell from us, Peeves."
