Okay, so I'm hoping there are few Harry Potter fans on this site as well. Anyway, I'm a little upset that they pushed the release date back so much, but then again with the stuff that I'm hearing from the screenings, maybe I'm glad. Now they have a chan

Well, I suppose I should talk about my new job first. I'm not quite sure what to think about it. I started on an opened-ended data-entry temp job a couple of weeks ago, and now they've decided that I'm totally prepared to be a home mortgage consultant. I'm 22. I've never owned a home, nor is it a possibility anytime in the near future. I'm really a bad salesperson. I've never claimed to be a good one. I'm also not very good on the telephone, and they think that I should be able to be on the telephone for an hour at a time with customers all over the country. And the kicker is, since I'm a temp, I'm not able to get commission on any sales that I might make. I don't like this at all. But, I don't feel like I can quit because I made a commitment to stay until the end of the job, and I really, really need the money right now. So, please pray that a miracle happens, and I suddenly become comfortable with this.

And, here's my newest song. It's a work in progress, so I've only got the first verse and most of the chorus. I'm attempting to tell the story of a woman whose husband has just died after many years of marriage. She's thinking back on the years, and is remembering all the good times. Keep in mind, I'm 22, so this song is purely speculative. as I've only been married for two years, and my husband's in good health.

I remember how you looked at me/ The day you changed my life./ Like nothing mattered more to you/ Thank making me your wife./ And though I'll never see that look again./ I still say I'm blessed,/ Because I remember when./

Chorus./

I remember when you called me / just to say that you loved me./ And I remember when you'd hold me/ In your arms so I could cry./ I remember when how I felt when you said/ That I'd be yours forever./ And I'll remember you for all time./

I should probably update everyone on my pain pump. Since adding the new drug, my pump has been working dramatically better. I've stopped taking narcotics, and that's really big news for me. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, and I can't wait. Although, the alarm date for my pump is today, so I'm not doing too well at this particular moment. I really hope that I can have one last reprogram, and then be done with that part of the process forever.

Okay, now what I really wanted to talk about. Harry Potter. I may be in the minority, but I was really looking forward to seeing the whole Harry/Ginny dating thing unfold. From what I hear, however, they never actually date, they just sort of hint at it the whole movie. I thought the "kiss" in the book was absolutely perfect, and they nixed it. I wouldn't even have minded if they didn't date for long in the book, just as long as they did. And I'm thinking of the 7th movies when I say that, because his longing for her plays a big part, and I'm not sure what the vibe will be if Harry hasn't said his feelings. I know I'm probably paying way too much attention to a "side" plot, but hey, I'm a chick flick girl to the core. There's a reason the 6th and 7th books are my absolute favorite, and it has little to do with the ultimate end of Voldemort. And, the 6th book does focus on that 'side' plot a lot. At least, that's how it read to me. Anyway, that's only one of the things that I was a little disappointed about. I was disappointed that they decided to take out the house elves yet again. I miss Dobby, and Kreacher is kind of important to the plot. Oh well. I guess they'll have a lot of ground to make up in the 7th movies. Thank goodness there are two. I was really happy when I heard that. And, I was also really wishing there would be a fight at Hogwarts. I mean, a fight would add so much drama to the movie. I guess there's that fight that they added at the Burrow, but I really would have preferred it at Hogwarts. I guess I understand what has been said about repetition, but I didn't mind it when J.K. did it. I wouldn't mind it in the movies either. And, lastly, I'm kind of wondering why they took out the part when Harry finds out that Snape is the reason his parents are dead. As far as I can tell, they've taken out the parts where Harry becomes increasingly more suspicious of Snape. But, with they way they've played the ending, I guess he can't be too suspicious or he wouldn't have stayed put. Although, I don't think Harry would've stayed put anyway, but whatever. Anyway, feel free to way in, whether or agree or disagree. I just want to talk, and my husband could really care less about it.

God Bless! Hannah
