However, I ordered my HP on Amazon and UPS was standing outside my apt. door at 9 a.m. Sat. morning. I was slightly embarrassed standing there in my pajamas, hair a mess, with him handing me a box that said "Attention Muggles: Do not open before July 21!" all over it. But hey, I didn't have to wait in line. www.lovebostongirl.com I guess if I was going to stand in line for a sporting event or a concert, then I’d stand in line for a book too.

Definitely not going to wait in line for a book. And I'm not going to build a sand castle in any one's image, even if I knew them personally. Ha. Definitely not going to wait in line for a book.

Reminds me of my days in the Navy. "Hurry and Wait" for everything. Moving groups of 100 through the chow line, shot line, and the worst -- gas chamber. Miserable. Since those horrible days that cause me to cringe with haunting memories (thanks) I avoid lines for everything. I don't understand why a book, or a phone, are so important you can't wait a few days until the crowds are gone? And why would anybody with an internet connection wait in line for movie tickets? Baffling. Ugh. Reminds me of my days in the Navy. “Hurry and Wait” for everything. Moving groups of 100 through the chow line, shot line, and the worst — gas chamber. Miserable.

The Harry Potter line wasn't bad. The attending party was a lot of fun - I dressed up wand and all. Most of the people I talked to were ones I knew and the one annoying guy who kept trying to ask me out (very weird to be my age with my teenager in tow and get hit on by a guy barely legal for the bar scene) I bopped him on the head with my wand and said "muffliato"! It worked, he gave me a weird look and wandered off, fast. Geekery pays well. I don’t mind waiting in line for things I want, must be that Catholic school influence.

It's so annoying and there's always someone weird either ahead or behind me and they always try talking to me and/or my friends. Then there's the awkward ignoring while he's still rambling on about something I could care less about. I would stand in line for tickets to see T.I cause I freakin love him. Although I'm a fan of Harry Potter, I will never stand in line for anything they're trying to sell, whether it's movies or books. Never ever. Oh I hate waiting in line!!!!
