You've Got Mail

It's 12:17am right now. But I must blog. Earlier today as I got comfortable in my bed, ready to drift off into another wonderful sleep .. I heard the notification sound that my iPod makes when I get a new email. Reluctantly, I reached over to my table and checked my mail. Guess who it was from. Guess. GUESS.


Damn right it was Pottermore! And about time too! As you'd expect, I screamed and flailed a bit when I saw the email. No longer tired, I ran to the computer, turned it on and logged into Pottermore for the first freaking time. Yeah, you better be jealous.

For the first few minutes of exploring the site, I was as happy as a kid in a giant candy shop where all the candy was free and delicious and somehow the kid has this thing where the kid never gets full so it can eat as much as it wants. Also, no one else is there so you have the whole thing to yourself. Pretty damn happy, basically.

And then it crashed. Again and again and again until finally, the site stayed down for like HALF AN HOUR. For that half hour, I sat at my computer and refreshed the page. It couldn't be down yet.. I hadn't even been sorted yet! I hadn't even gotten my wand from Ollivander's yet! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME, POTTERMORE...... whore!


So .. I wrote a poem during that very emotional and distressing time. It'll be in the next post ... which I'm guessing you've probably already read seeing as it's the one ABOVE this one ... but whatever. This is my Pottermore story.
