Summer

I've been at home maybe a week and a half out of my month of vacation. First I went up North to drop my brother off for camp, then I went to Illinois to see my mom's family, then I went back up North to get my brother and see my dad's family. Basically, I've been running around non-stop. I've read probably twenty books and have rewritten most of my YA-fantasy novel, Halfling, which I hope to have mostly ready for submission by the end of summer (maybe, we'll see >_>).

I've gotten pretty good at playing D&D and am now obsessed with George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. I've only gotten through A Game of Thrones (which I borrowed from a friend) because, while he had A Storm of Swords (the third book) to loan me, he couldn't find the second, and the wait list at my library is seventy-two people long. I'm only going a little bit crazy, I swear.

I found the only book I've ever seen (thought I'm sure there are others) where the MC shares my name. It isn't spelled the same, because no one spells my name the way I do, but her uncle also shares my brother's name, which borders on weird. xD

Tonight at midnight I'm going to see the last Harry Potter movie. I am quite sure I will cry and am indescribably excited. HP is pretty much the series of my childhood, as it is for so many people. To be there as its era is ending will be completely amazing. I can't wait :D
