Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron Weasley!

So just because I'm abroad and semi off the grid doesn't mean that I am willing to forgo one of the most important events of my entire life.  I am talking about the premier of Harry Potter 7.

Seriously, it's a bit obnoxious how excited I get for this.  Obsessively watching trailers, reading blogs about what might happen (even though I've read all the books), and planning my sweet, sweet costume for months.  We even went to Theology class all dressed up and took a picture with us.  Anyways, we got our tickets ahead of time to ensure our seats and actually at the theater we went to, they assign your seat with your ticket!  Prevents the rush to the coveted middle of the row seats, but it kind of sucks when people don't buy tickets together and therefore don't get to sit together.  Good thing European seating arrangements are more like suggestions than rules.  


We all showed up at the theater in our costumes.  They were pretty creative.  We had everyone from Harry, Ron, and Hermoine to Hagrid, Doby and a couple of broomsticks.  I was Professor Trelawney.  A pretty convincing Professor Trelawney if I do say so myself.  


The movie was amazing!  It seriously felt like I was in there for only 30 minutes when it lasted for over 2 and a half hours.  As we were leaving, a couple of guys just pointed and laughed at us while standing only 5 feet away.  They were just jealous that they weren't dressed up like the cool kids.  


After the movie, we went over to some of the guys's apartment and a bunch of the other CYA kids were there and thought we were the most ridiculous people in the entire world and not in a 'these kids are cool way', more like a 'everyone from MN is a crazy' way :)


P.S.  Watch this video and then call me in a month when the song is still stuck in your head.
