It’s getting closer still to Breaking Dawn. I feel like this is all I talk about lately, and I know it’s ridiculous. Honestly, though, I’m not sure I could shut myself up if I wanted to, which I really don’t. I’m just so anxious to get my hands on the book. I’m almost wishing I would have pre-ordered my copy at the store, so I could just go pick it up on Saturday. I might end up doing that anyway. I’m sure I could always sell or return the copy I ordered online. We’ll have to see. It depends on how much money I have and such. I’m kind of sad that I’m not going to a release party. People dressed up in sexy costumes - or attempting to to make up for the lack of unnatural, inhuman beauty - and talking about the Twilight series just sounds like fun. I guess it’s not that big of a deal, though, since I really wouldn’t want to go alone. I’m just ready for Saturday to arrive and to read Breaking Dawn

Another day closer to Breaking Dawn. I should start singing “I Will Survive” to convince myself I’m going to make it to August 2nd. I doubt it would help and would probably only result in embarrassment, but whatever.

I went to the mall with my mom yesterday. She wanted to see if she could get some waterproof pants - like a pancho - for my brother since his jeans were getting soaked during detassling. Then I came home and listened to the live MuggleCast. I think I’ll have to download it and listen again because it cut out a few times on me and Firefox also froze once or twice. Very annoying.

So my grandpa got in trouble with my grandma last week. She looked out the window and saw that he decided to attach some of his ham radio antenna’s to Tori’s swing set. It’s one of those wooden swing sets, so it’s pretty sturdy, but even so, it looks ridiculous. I think he might had taken one of them down. He’s such a clutter bug sometimes.

So the trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince premiered tonight. It looks so good. I can’t even begin to explain. I think for the first time I’m actually excited about the movie. Before I didn’t have too much to go on, so my excitement was lacking. Now that I’ve had a glance, I think it’s going to be great. And it did help distract me from Breaking Dawn … briefly.

I think I’ve officially started hating getting mail. It’s always junk. I can’t foresee a point in my life when I’ll need travel health insurance. Of course, I would love to have a reason for it, but right now that’s just a pipe dream. I really need to find a full time job. I have enough money to get by from month to month, but it would be nice not to live that way.

I’m going crazy waiting for Breaking Dawn. I’m very tempted to look at some spoilers, but I know if I do, I’ll just be angry with myself in the end. I’m just too anxious, and it’s making it so hard to deal with the suspense. And the daily quotes are doing nothing to help because they’re only making me nervous. I’m so excited about this book that it’s driving me crazy. I just don’t know what to do with myself while I wait.

I have heard that the Half Blood Prince trailer is supposed to premiere tomorrow, so I’ll have that to look forward to. It’s about darn time! They’ve been posting random covers for stuff like books and videos games, and, honestly, I’m really not that impressed. They all seem to look simliar to things from the past, and some of the images look like someone went a little overboard with the airbrush in Photoshop.

I’m really excited about the trailer, though, so maybe that will help tide me over for Breaking Dawn. In the meantime, I’m reading Twilight for about the millionth time.

- So the night out with the girls was a blast. Amanda was late, naturally. I wouldn’t expect any less of her. If she wasn’t late, she wouldn’t be Amanda. So Shakti and I went ahead and ordered and we were eating dessert by the time Amanda arrived. We talked about what’s been going on since graduation, movies, books, boys. All that fun stuff.

- I met my sister’s new boyfriend, Dennis, yesterday. I don’t know much about him aside from the facts that he’s 25, has a younger brother and sister, and he’s tall. But he didn’t appear to be stoned, so that’s at least one step above Mitch. The jury is still out on the verdict.

- My brother pulled a muscle in his shoulder last night, and our mom had to take him to the ER. At first they thought he’d dislocated his shoulder. He was at our cousin’s house, wrestling. Boys are so ridiculous.

- I finally got to see The Dark Knight! I felt like I was the only person who hadn’t seen it for a while. It was so good. Heath Ledger was so amazing. I still can’t believe he’s gone. :(

- I actually wrote some yesterday. I have been so slack about writing, but I made myself sit down and reread the last thing I wrote and I added over a page. That’s not huge, but it’s improvement at least.

- I also talked to Taye a bit. I’ve missed her. We caught up, and I think we’re going to try our hands at a collaboration. We’re actually picking up something we started ages ago. I think it’ll be fun. I’ve missed my friend and I’ve missed writing way too much.

- So I was looking at this contraption called the Stokke Tripp Trapp. When I first looked at it, honestly, I had no idea what it was. Upon reading, it was obvious it was one of those sort of change as you grow sort of things. It reminded me of one of my all time favorite books is The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen because the main character’s dad used to always buy stuff like that. Things that are supposed to make life easier. Random, but it was just a funny thought association I had. Honestly, stuff like that is great. If you take care of it long enough to get the use out of it. With my family, that seems nearly impossible.

- 6 days until Breaking Dawn! Wee! I’m rereading Eclipse right now. Unfortunately, I think I’ll finish either tonight or tomorrow, so I don’t know what I’ll do to tide myself over until Breaking Dawn. Probably read Twilight again for the millionth time. *obsessed*
