I'm weirdly terrified that my iPod will die sometime on this epic road trip and I will be left cradling its lifeless body in my trembling hands.
And um YES. This is about to happen. Waaaaaaaay too many hours on a bus. Twice as many hours than I will be in Washington DC for. Totally. Worth. It.

Harry Potter and the Cycle of Anticipation
Sometimes I just stop and think about how happy I am that I got to grow up with Harry Potter.
There's just something about an entire generation of people spending 10 years wanting nothing more than the next book that makes it more awesome. I loved those agonizing waits between books, the inevitable countdowns to release dates, the sleepless nights leading up to the midnight book launch and then the marathon reading sessions that followed. The Harry Potter cycle of anticipation was second to none and parallel only to Star Wars. Years containing both a new Harry Potter book and a new Star Wars movie felt like the universe was giving me everything I could ever ask for.
