Bad day huh? I like the picture though, eerily surreal.

I tried to leave a comment on your last post but for some reason the Blog deity says no. I'm going to risk being fairly forthright here instead and hope by now you can trust where I'm coming from. Tell me to shut the f*** up if I've overstepped the mark.

Harry Potteritis it appears, is a disease to which I'm fortunately immune. I really enjoyed the first four books, The P. of A. being my favourite, but then I guess my interest for all things Potter puttered out. I tried to read the last one, but after one chapter, realised that I really didn't care anymore what happened and that it was all basically the same anyway. I do understand though that if like many (including Rex's daughter who's been holed up in her room since Saturday, not even bothering to wash or dress,)it's been a big part of your life, then you must be feeling sad that this is the last.

Personally, I feel that if a series of children's books have generated the kind of mass hysteria that's apparent everywhere, then maybe it's a good thing that the world moves on? One thing I know for sure is that stories don't really have endings and when one story apparently ends, then another always begins. Life is constantly morphing one tale into another, and after a while you don't notice the seams so much.

Your life, personhood, prolific gifts and talents are not under the control of J.K Rowling. I know you know that.

Now go out to play in the sunshine! :-)

Thanks for your remarks, but I think you miss my meaning. I love Lord of the Rings much better than Harry Potter, which is fun and clever but childish. I may love Life of Pi more than any of them for what it says about belief and reality. That was not the point.

The point is I get things set up in my head and then when things don't go the way I want them to, I get disappointed, and it turns to anger or depression. It has nothing to do with those books primarily, it was the circumstances of the "release party" - which I won't go into here.

I may not post again for awhile because right now it is all I can do to get out of bed and check on this blog. More comments in my next post. Feel free to comment, but if I don't answer for a few days don't be offended. If I never answer or post again, it should be obvious why.

You are a good person Sara and I wish you were here with me now to talk to me. I'm completely alone otherwise, and I haven't the energy to write anymore. Take care.
