Watch your step, hold your tongue -- Harry Potterdammerung!

I just... how can copies of the book be online already??

tzikeh: dude
basingstoke: dude?
tzikeh: someone photographed every page of Deathly Hallows and put them up online.
bas: I saw.
some people are kinda nutty
tzikeh: I am going to have to go off the grid TONIGHT, aren't I.
bas: yes
tzikeh: ... fuck. I mean, I can't go ANYWHERE
spoilers could be ANYWHERE. I'm half-afraid to look at my GMAIL
bas: definitely don't read the paper
they get you through the paper
tzikeh: I know! wtf
bas: and the radio!
tzikeh: I KNOW
bas: also you need a tinfoil hat
tzikeh: ...
bas: for the spoiler beams.
those are new.
tzikeh: I hate you, you know why? Because it's NOT ENTIRELY IMPOSSIBLE
bas: snicker
actually tinfoil hats AMPLIFY the mind beams. they are government propaganda.
tzikeh: sigh
bas: THERE IS NO ESCAPE.
tzikeh: how is there a copy of the book out there already.
I mean
bas: it's actually scientifically true that the foil hats amplify the mind beams
tzikeh: this thing has more protection than the Queen
bas: which cracks me up
tzikeh: it's like, in Brinks' trucks
bas: jk rowling did it
tzikeh: WHAT?
bas: larfing and larfing
tzikeh: LOL
Rocks fall; everyone dies.
bas: yes!
tzikeh: meh
bas: and the other 900 pages are "all work and no play makes jk a dull girl"
tzikeh: a;lkhga;lskdfja;lskhga;sdlkjf;alkgha;sldkjf;alskgha;lksdfj;alkgha;dlkfsj
can I post this chat to my lj?
bas: sure
make sure you get the foil hats in there, though
tzikeh: absolutely.
bas: that's important information the government doesn't want you to know.
tzikeh: that's what the wiretapping was all about
bas: *puts on my radium helmet*
tzikeh: Bush wants spoilers
bas: exactly!
tzikeh: it's his version of the audiobook
bas: the twins are demanding.
tzikeh: he's not much of a reader.
bas: :)

	As far as I was concerned, I didn't mind because I wasn't getting spoiled--because it's actually the real thing, not just plot points or lists. So if you don't mind reading on the computer, I say go for it. But if you actually want the experience of the midnight release, like tzikeh, then you'll have to wait. g (Reply to this)(Parent)

	If you can get one of those lead aprons they put on you when you get dental x-rays, and reconfigure it into a bonnet, you should be fine. (Reply to this)

	Read it. Gave myself a headache squinting at the blurry fucking photos. Tell you what; if I ever leak The Publishing Event of the Decade, I'm going to take some motherfucking pride in my work. May I quote part of this in my blog? Y'all are too funny. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	tzikeh 2007-07-17 05:27 am UTC (link)
	Of course you can quote. Anything anyone posts that isn't locked I consider fair game for linking/quoting; it's out in the open. So you never need permission to quote anything here if I haven't locked it. :D (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I don't particularly care about spoilers, and haven't seen any yet. It's like porn on the net, which also seems to only attack the people who are most vulnerable to it. Spoilers and porn: like cats, which are friendliest and most affectionate to people who either are allergic to cats or hate cats. (Reply to this)

	Seriously? I hadn't heard the photo thing (I guess mostly because I've been avoiding news sites and such already to not be spoiled by some stupid headline or other). (Reply to this)

	a friend quite literally went to the desert. she just so happened to have a trip scheduled. no internet, no tv, no radio, nada. so she's in line at the store, reading ootp as she waits, and the lady in front of her turns around and goes, hey, you know in book 7, ******************************. and then my friend was arrested. not really but nobody could blame her omg.

	I'm actually glad I'm out of town with severely limited 'net access: I'm not straying beyond my friends list, and I'm even a little nervous about that. (Reply to this)

	This is a fucking nightmare. After much soul searching I've decided the media black out I thought I'd have to be in from Friday night through finishing the book, in fact, starts now. See ya on the flip. (Reply to this)

	HAH! my mom heard about the online copy and was like "download it!" and I told her that the internet was broken. I don't have enough strength to avoid home and lj. (Reply to this)(Thread)
