November 10th.

Hey, wloggers, it's Monday again!

I'm gonna answer some questions ;)

Have you ever been/are you going to an HP convention?
I have not been to a HP convention yet. I really wanted to go to Erised 08 (a swedish HP convention), but unfortunatley I was in Oxford when that took place. The organizers of that convention are having another one next summer, Patronus 09, which I'm hoping to be able to attend. The swedish conventions are in a smaller scale, so they're not that expensive. It's just a matter of being home.
It would be really cool to go to a convention in the US, but I don't have a lot of money, so that's pretty impossible at the moment.

Who is your favorite character?
I don't really have a favorite character like a lot of people I know have (I know quite a few Snape fangirls...), but I think I have to say that my favorite character is Fred Weasley. It killed me when he died :/

Why do you fit into the house you belong in?
I don't really know how I ended up in Slytherin. I think I'm a Slytherclaw, really, cuz I don't have all of the Slytherinabilities. When people who aren't big HP fans see me with a Slytherin scarf (I wear it quite a lot), they always ask me why I'm a Slytherin, because they don't see me as "one of the bad guys". But I'm pretty ambitious and I know what I want, so I guess that's my answer.

When did you start reading Harry Potter, and when did you become obsessed?
I remember one Christmas when I was six years old (so it was 1999), and my grandparents had given me a gift card for a bookshop in their town. I went to the bookshop with my parents, and I remember I saw the british cover of Philosipher's/Sorcerer's Stone, and thought it didn't look very nice. The swedish covers are pretty nice though. Anyway, I bought the first HP book in swedish. I read the first chapter on a mattress in my grandparent's basement, and I fell asleep in the middle of it. Later when I reread it I didn't remember reading the first chapter, hehe.
Anyway, I don't remember most of the years between now and then, but I got the third book from my other grandparents a few years later. I hadn't read Chamber Of Secrets yet, so I guess I wasn't that obsessed at that time.
But I think it was about that time I really got in to the books.
When I was eleven, I got the fifth book as a birthday present from my grandparents. The swedish translation of it hadn't been released yet, and I hadn't read too much in English before, so I couldn't read it all.
The first book I read when it first came out was Half Blood Prince. Then I waited in line for the midnight release of Deathly Hallows, which was awesome. I got into wizard rock about a year ago, about the same time as I waited in line for the swedish translation of DH (haha, we non-English people get two releases! Not that the translations are that good...), and if everything goes right, I'll be waiting in line for Tales Of Beedle The Bard in December!

Which leads me to my question; What do you think about Beedle The Bard getting released to the public? Are you excited?

And lastly, I need your help. One of my friends says you can't be a nerd! He thinks nerdfighting is unnecessary or something, and he thinks is weird that I'm proud of being a nerd. What should I tell him?

Anywho, that's all I've got for today. Hope you're doing awesome!
