Geek? Dork? Fan!

If you start a blog and you abandon it, what does that say about you? If you then start again, do you start from the previous gap or do you just immediately pick up where you left off?
For me? No apologies. Here's what's on my mind today.

Am I a dork? a geek? pathetic? Does going to a midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 at the age of fifty-something (OK, 54, but who's counting) make me totally weird? When my kids were little I used to think they were saying "breathe in, you're embarrassing me, breathe out, you're embarrassing me." Now I wonder only briefly, how badly am I going to embarrass them this evening? The answer? I don't know, and I don't care.

I have seen most of the other Harry Potter movies at midnight. It has become something of a tradition. Other folks have come and gone, but JT and ES have always been there. I can't imagine not seeing this movie with them this evening, and I can't imagine not being with them on July 14th when the last movie comes out... Call me whatever name you like, I'll just call myself a fan!
