It's 76 degrees Fahrenheit so I'm sitting in my bedroom wearing a sweatshirt. But not just any sweatshirt, no, this sweatshirt is from OutOfPrint.com and is the most beautiful sweatshirt ever. It's all purple and stress-worn with a flashdance style top. Oh, and did I mention that it has an old cover of Pride and Prejudice printed on the front of it? Hell yeah! It could be 100 degrees outside and I wouldn't take this thing off.
But it's not just my epic sweatshirt that has me giggling like a rabid fangirl. Well, not just that, anyway. Today J.K. Rowling announced Pottermore, the online interactive book. I've been fangirling about this since I woke up. Not to mention the amount of explaining I've been doing.
Just to clarify...
Pottermore is not a game like World of Warcraft, nor is it a real world treasure hunt. It is just an interactive reading experience. This does give it a touch of a gaming feel. Think of the Green Eggs and Ham computer game just nearly every kid had. It reads the story to you and then there are things to click. I'm sure Pottermore will be more advanced than that, but I'm excited. Not to mention J.K. is finally giving us the books in e-reader form. Now, I love my books and nothing will ever replace them, but when you like to travel it's just not convenient to carry around 7 books whether they're Harry Potter or not. I like my e-reader and do not for see it destroying it's paper counterpart any time soon.
And, as if an interactive book wasn't exciting enough, J.K. is also giving us information she's been hoarding for herself for years. Like the back story for McGonagall. Apparently she had a crush on a muggle once and had her heart broken by him. We will also learn more information about the houses and the things used in making wands. GAH! SO EXCITED!
But yeah. I've been having a Harry Potter fan day which included listening to the first 6 chapters of the Deathly Hallows audio book and playing Harry Potter lego. And then I began working on my costume for the movie premier and ordered one BAMF of a shirt for it. Now to just finish making the skirt and order my Hufflepuff socks and maybe a tie as well.
Speaking of Hufflepuffs. I really want to make my layout for my blog Hufflepuff themed, but I have no skills in that area. One day I'll succeed. One day. I also need some art skills to draw myself a cute little Hufflepuff girl casting a spell. But I shall accomplish this layout. It'll just take some time. Even if I need to bribe Lady Hanaka with pie and a Gryffindor scarf to get my drawing.
In other news. I've nearly finished knitting myself a sweater. I hope to post pictures of my talent soon. I also have an odd desire to get my nose pierced. That I would not post pictures of, but I'd tell people about it.
>.> My mother bought double stuffed oreos. I must go eat them.
Have yourself a magical Harry Potter filled day. =)
