For some reason, I've just been exhausted this week. Second session of summer school ended today...one more session to go. I'm feeling relieved, as second session is notoriously the worst, and I survived it with no tears and no major blowouts.
I don't know if that's because I've improved the way I deal with the older kids (I teach high school during the summer) or if it's that I've simply stopped caring what they think of me. Or both. Probably both.
My library thing early reviewer books have not yet arrived, which has me feeling vaguely worried, however it's left me plenty of time to dwell continuously in Potter-land. While the fever is not yet over, it is subsiding. Though I do sort of want a Potter tattoo now, which is hilarious, as I've been against body modifications my entire life. Until now, I couldn't think of a damn thing I'd want to put on my body forever.
I've been thinking a lot about the role of books in shaping who I've become in my life. (I don't know if the constant quest for self-definition is a hang-up of mine or something that everyone thinks about). But I'm thinking of composing a post about it sometime soon when I feel more up to it. Lately, I can't think of anything except taking a nap.
For now I will leave you with some of my favorite words from the Potter canon:
Parselmouth
Legilimency
Fidelius Charm
Patronus
Wizengamot
Occlumency
Metamorphmagus

I personally like Whomping Willow.
Love this post!
My personal favourite would have to be Hufflepuff. I just love how it sounds.
Megs, I have a personal issue...non potter related, but this is your most recent post, so you will most likely run into this comment: TAKE MY PICTURES DOWN!!!!! I don't normally care, but this girl looks like CRAP at your toga party. So embarrassed. :) (but i'm not joking)
I really love Wingardium Leviosa. She said in an interview the other day that she would miss writing where she could make up words and that Quidditch was her favorite.
