“I doubt that the imagination can be repressed. If you truly eradicated it in a child, he would grow up to be an eggplant.”

“I’m just trying to wake up. I’m so afraid of sleeping all my life and then dying. I want to wake up first. I wouldn’t care if it was just for an hour, as long as I was properly alive and awake.”
-From Philip Pullman’s The Amber Spyglass
Wake Up by CanisLoopus
Over the past 24 hours, I have:
- Sat around in my underwear, buzzed, watching The Patriot with a couple of the best people ever.
- Sobbed while watching the opening scene of Up with someone who will remain unnamed lest he lose his man cred.
- Wondered what the hell the kid at the end of Up did to earn a badge in wild animal defensive arts.
- Sat on a rooftop and watched cop cars go by.
- Discovered Dirty Bieber Secrets.
Solid 24 hours.
I got trolled by Pottermore.
But I should have expected it.
Now, the email telling everyone that they were going to get in early was bad. REALLY BAD YOU HORRID PEOPLE IN THE INTERNETZ. Of course we know we found the quill! We didn’t ACCIDENTALLY solve the clue and then ACCIDENTALLY type it into a very specific web address and then ACCIDENTALLY click on the quill!
You bitches.
Anyway, I was goofing around and pretending that I’d already gotten in and was signing in. Of course, I kept getting rejected.
Then, I realized that I’d been putting my name in wrong.
I’m FlightMidnight137 NOT FlightMidnight147.
O.O
I try it again.
Loading screen.
I lean in really close, eyes wide, trying to keep my already skyrocketing hopes in check, and…
Congratulations!
You’ve successfully validated your early access Pottermore account. You will be one of the lucky few to shape the experience before the site opens to all in October.
You may have to wait a few weeks for your Welcome email to arrive as we can’t let everyone into the Beta site at the same time.
We look forward to seeing you.
Pottermore, you tease! I will be referring to you as PotterWHORE from now on!
I swear to god that if I don’t get in soon, messed up things are going to happen, including but not limited to my contorting into bizarre shapes on the ground and making some pathetic and distressed noises. I don’t care where I am or who’s around me.
Think of the children.
Did anyone notice…
…that in the epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, the ginger kids got left behind?
Coincidence?
