7: Proper Potter Premiere Protocol

7 days, 1 week, 7 horcruxes, it is also July 7th. if it was 2007 my mind would be blown.  But it isn't so the fun  stops at 7/7/11

12. Now that you've gotten yourself perfectly settled in the theatre, it is probably around 9:30, which means you only have 2 and a half hours left until the end.  (time has flown by hasn't it?).  Now is your chance to really shine! the level of excitement is already at epic proportions, and it is your job as the coolest person in the theatre to make sure that level stays up.  Most people will be friendly and interactive, so use this to your advantage and start a riot. Now, when I say riot, I don't mean pitchforks and torches, I mean music and wands! Every self respecting potter fan at the premiere will be well versed in the pop-culture surrounding the books, including the youtube sensations that have been created as a result.  I recommend assigning the theatre different parts in the hit youtube phenomenon "The Mysterious Ticking Noise".  People will go CRAY CRAY for you, trust me, and don't you always strive to be the best?

13 is an unlucky number but I think you'll be safe so long as you avoid theatre 13 row 13 seat 13.
On to today's helpful hint:

9. It is not only important to bring friends with you to the premiere, but try and MAKE friends with the people sitting around you.  I know this seems like it contradicts with my earlier statement of avoiding the more "dedicated" fans, but I can tell you're smart kids and know how to handle yourself.  Besides, it's actually fun to meet people, you already know you have something serious in common, and you're going to be sitting in line next to them for a while, so you might as well get friendly.  Last time I went, my friend Mary and I started talking to the girls in line in front of us, and they ended up being really nice, we hadn't brought anything to entertain ourselves with, so they offered us some of the stuff they'd brought while we waited.  We also saved each other's spots in line while we were waiting for our respective parties to show up (Side note: warn the people in line behind you if you have more people coming, that way it won't be an annoying big deal).  Who knows? you could meet your NEW BEST FRIEND.

Turns out Malfoy and I went to camp together as youngin's. Don't I look excited?

So I've told you when to go, what to wear, who to bring, and how to behave.  What I haven't told you yet though is how to stay awake.  This can be accomplished in many different ways and to be honest, your lack of sleep only becomes a pressing issue as you drive home at 3 am and fully realise the extent of your fatigue.

6.  In order to avoid being THAT person who complains that they are staying up too late, get a good night sleep the night before.  Don't stay up till three and then wake up at eight (then agian, only I wake up early in the summer) try and be well rested.  If that simply isn't possible caffinate yourself like its your job.  5 Hour Energy is good for five hours of the day, while sodas and coffee can also provide you that extra energy boost if you're certain a bathroom is within reach (bladder can and WILL be a problem).  If you shamefacedly begin to nod off at 5pm because you woke up at 6am because it was a school day and you still have to be educated, have a friend casually use you as an arm rest as they remain alert, because worst case scenario, onlookers think you're just an unfortunately place hobo, and you get a few ZZZZ's in.

But read carefully, false advertising can be a bitch

Instead of searching for 30 more random facts about Harry Potter and running the risk of repeating myself, I will dole out some decent Harry Potter Wisdom every other day (except the last day of course) So, here is today's:

If you are planning to attend a midnight screening of Harry Potter, here is the first thing you should do:

1. For one, you should get a big group of friends to see it with you, there is strength in numbers, and you have to sit in line for a LONG time, why not do it with some friends?

#2 will come on the 27th, respectively. Stay tuned! Props to Mary Purnell for the picture

Free....? Dress Down Days???

This post is kind of my-life-specific, so if you can relate to it then great, but if you can't - well, you might just learn something new. I go to a private high school which, needless to say, requires uniforms. I've been wearing uniforms to school my entire life and am pretty much used to it, but there's one problem with a monotonous school dress code that bothers me so flupping much - Free Dress Days.

Before you can say "yayyyyy let's go shoppinggggggg" You have to realize what this entails. Everyone at your school who normally doesn't notice what you're wearing is now going to notice what you're wearing, and, if you're a paranoid high school girl, judge you harshly on your choices. In order to succeed at Free Dress Day, you have to know about the day at least two days in advance, that way you can rummage through your teeny tiny closet and find something halfway decent to wear. You will, of course, change your mind five times and wear every single outfit you own at least twice (remember, you don't own many clothes that aren't khaki skorts, white polos, and plaid skirts). After the outfit is semi-decided and your closet is semi-on-the-ground, it's time for you to ask your friends what they're wearing.

You: "hey what r u wearin 2morrow?"

Friend: "haha idk something"

You: "..."

The conversation will continue along this pattern with lots of unnecessary laughing and emoticons, with you ultimately finding out nothing about what they are wearing to school. When Friday finally comes, you wake up early, fix your hair extra special, apply an extra coat of massacara (because you get to wear your OWN clothes) and hop out the door, immediately realizing you shouldn't wear flip-flops to school. Ever.

When you FINALLY arrive at school, all your friends are wearing t-shirts and gym shorts, and you look like your trying too hard to look good and wish you had in fact changed out of the flip-flops you were debating over earlier. Oh and the school charges you a dollar. To wear your own clothes.

Let's just go back to the uniforms please...
