It's currently 1:42 AM and I've just gotten home from picking up my copy of Deathly Hallows. I waited to get home before I opened it because I want to enjoy it properly. Before I do though I just wanted to make this post which I've been trying to get out for a few days now.
Five years ago, my life changed. After much protest and disgust on my end at what I perceived to be an overrated fad, Mrs. Gonzales the children's librarian I was working under sat me down on a slow afternoon and shoved a book in my hands and wouldn't let me move until I'd read it. And thus began my journey with Harry Potter.
Since then I've met an amazing group of people, all brought together by a book. I went seeking for others to discuss it with on a then-weekly Mugglenet chat room. Eventually the Sanctuary became my home and you all became my family. Trin, Madam, Lamy, Waen, AD, Jamie, Hinky, Lei, Na` tala, Nora, Ginny, Phyre, Cindy. You were all there with me from the beginning. Most of us have grown apart, many of you will never read this probably, but all of you will always hold a special place in my heart.
From there I was introduced to livejournal where my family has grown exponentially. Some of you I met through my brief but incredibly amusing stint in roleplay, some because of your incredible artistic and writing skills of which I am in awe, and others through friends of friends. You are all amazing wonderful people.
In a few minutes my life is going to change again. My journey is coming to an end. I've been crying on and off all day. I'm still sort of in denial even though I've had the book in my hands for over an hour. I don't know what life will be like after this is done but I'm glad to have experienced it with you all, and hope you will all be with me through the next chapter of my life.
Enjoy everybody.
