20 days until Deathly Hallows!! *does happy, anticipatory DH dance*
As promised, here's my (rather lengthy) Deathly Hallows theory in its entirety. I'm actually quite pleased with it:
In other news, I think my mom's a little depressed. Not seriously-bad depressed, more like just down in the dumps. A million wedding announcements proclaiming the nuptial of the children of a number of old college roommates will do that to a person. I guess she feels bad because she doesn't think that my sister and I have social lives and we're going to be ornery old spinsters and snipe at all the neighborhood kids who are unfortunate enough to hit their baseballs in our front yards. Plus, all these people we both went to high school and were friends with are getting married, so I think it makes her feel like we're both just being single for the sake of being different or some stupid Quibbler-like headline (we'll only find the Mystic Kettle of Nackledirk if we're happily unattached or whatever).
Plus, all these blessed events have been set for this weekend which brings me to another rant: how creative do you have to be to set your wedding date as 07-07-07? Is there some mystical-yet-fortuitous property that comes from getting hitched on triple digits? Never mind that everyone and their Great-Auntie Ethel's pet lobster will set the same date, thus having to make everyone you invited pick and choose - though they could pick and choose to stay home. If you want to be really daring, set it for next Friday the 13th. That'll give you something to tell your kids about.
Like this girl I work with: she got married last June 6 on 06-06-06... not because she and her husband wanted to honor Satan in their ceremony, but because she really likes even numbers and getting married on 06-05-06 or 06-07-06 would have been unacceptable (in her own words: "I'm OCD like that."). Anyway, I just think it's funny that people have this fixation with numbers. Yeah, it's kinda neat that this Saturday is 07-07-07, but it doesn't mean much for your future if something big happens on that day.
I may be weird, but I'm not that weird (and I'm hot because the beginning of July always marks the advent of the triple-digit temperatures and I never un-melt until September. Blah...I hate summer weather).
Love from,
Jenny Wildcat
