Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!! I cannot...wait, make that CANNOT wait any longer for the next Harry Potter movie! Please, oh please, oh please let the next (approximately) 235 days go by quickly! *taking deep breaths* Ok, let me explain. If you know me, you know I have (self-diagnosed, I might add) OCD. Not with everything. Just random things. Indigo Girls, Harry Potter, you know, just random things. And people. That's true too. But back to my current brain wave...Harry Potter. Not just "the boy who lived", mind you, the whole series. Especially Severus Snape. But I think that's just because he's played by Alan Rickman. Portrayed PERFECTLY. So, ok, I'm a dork. Fine. I'm rubber and you're glue, whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you. Nyah nyah nyah. I'm also immature. *laugh* Whatever! I'm just way psyched about the next movie coming out because it's another chance to see Alan on the screen in one of the most wonderful stories ever written.

I should explain why I have this sudden burst of HP'ism... So, I'm on my laptop, checking airline ticket prices (ugh) for Christmas and I decide to use one of the *wonderful* features on my MacBook Pro...the widgets on my desktop. For those of you who don't know, I'm not really sure how to describe a widget...it's just like little things you can have appear such as a Post-It sticky note, or a clock, or the local weather. For instance, on my desktop, I have 3 clocks (one set at local time, one set at Maryland time for my parents and sister - two different cities, but same time zone, and one set for California for Jessica), 4 weathers (again, one local, one for CA, MD and Dominican Republic), the score/news watcher for the Dallas Cowboys (I *really* miss watching American football!), a text messenger for US/Canadian phones (for free!), a currency converter, an everything else converter (temp, time, weight, etc.), a calender, my iTunes shuffle remote, a monitor to watch the usage of my laptop memory, and here's the fun stuff...a Harry Potter random quote generator, a Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix (OotP) countdown ticker (until the movie is released!), and my Harry Potter news generator which is updated daily by the wonderful Leaky Cauldron!

Whew. That's a lot. Anyway, my point to all this is...I checked my HP news button because there was 1 new news bit and it was that Warner Bros. had released a 10 second clip of the OotP movie trailer and it had Snape in it! YUMMY! :) Happy Stacy! (Yes, I did think of you Rachael Pants!)

For those of you who are interested in seeing it, there's the link. CANNOT WAIT. No patience. I must go reread all of the books again right away. Good thing I have the day off tomorrow. It also means I can write about different things too...I've got a lot to say still. I just have to organize my thoughts to write it all with the pictures. I had to let loose the excitement of Harry Potter and everyone back home in CA or MD is still asleep, Drew's not home yet, I don't think Saro would be overly excited, M-H just humors me in my adoration of the HP world, April's still in San Diego and everyone else is going out to either Raphael or Octavio's birthday parties. Why am I home? Because I'm almost (yes, almost) over this stupid sinus infection from about 3 weeks ago. I don't want to relapse and I want to dive again in the near future, therefore I'm going to bed early. Or playing The Sims until I fall asleep. I can watch the HP clip again tomorrow...
