Its 3am, do you know where your kids are?
14 years ago
So, title withstanding, it is officially just after 3am.
I went, dressed up in Gryffindor Robes, tie, sweater, and skirt as well as the time turner, Hermione's original wand, one dragon on my shoulder and the other wrapped around my wrist, to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 midnight showing at the IMAX 3D theater.
Yes, for all those who didn't notice, I am a nerd.
Harry Potter came out first in 1997. I was in Middle School, prime same age as Harry and the lot when I started reading it so I've been with it for a while so just accept the fact I am a Harry Potter fan and not a Twilight one. People seem to get those confused, or say if you like one you MUST like the other. On the contrary not so much in my case.
The movie was good, I loved it and will probably go see it again without all the nerd garb.
I realized something tonight though. This movie kind of is the ending of my childhood.
Now I'm 25, have a bachelors in arts education and have, for all intensive purposes, two jobs so...I've been an adult for a little while now.
But it still is kind of a brutal thing, the end of it all. It is an epic and violent end it feels like to me. Do I feel sad? Naw, not really. I know I'm never going to really grow up, but it is bitter sweet. I have many memories of Harry Potter, the novels and the movies and it feels sad I won't have any more of those sudden new flavors to chew on, but it ends the way its supposed to.
Kudos to J.k. Rowling, hopefully she can breathe some what after helping produce the last film and seeing it on its way.
I will miss growing up, and I'll just have to look forward to growing older.
Maybe growing younger, that might not be so bad either.
Your nerd, cat, and friend,

We grow old, but we never finish growing up.
I don't plan to either.

Damn, I turned someone else's journal into a private rant again.
And mini rant aside, self expression is needed to be healthy, usually on your own page though HAHA. Just kidding. You're a good buddy Rain.

By the way, have you ever pistol wipped a firefly? I have. It's really hard actually. Random thought from the mind of Rainstar

i too found potter in middle school, but became enamored with the Dark Tower and the Wheel of Time.
King and Jordan (Stephan and Robert respectively) were and still are a massive impact on me writing.
along with Lisanne Norman, Frank Herbert, and a few other authors i cant recall of the top of my head.
the Dark Tower ended a while back and the Wheel of Time spins the last story in a few months or so...and i feel like i am losing my adolescence to the things.
Roland, descendant of Aurtur(?) Eld; Rand al'Thor and the other tavreen...your stories live on and sing strong one and all.
