Bitch, did I stutter?
May. 20th, 2007 05:45 pmBorders Book Seller: Can I help you?
Me: I would like to reserve a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
BBS: What is your name?
Me: Christin. That is spelled C-H-R-I-S-T-I-N.
BBS: Are you sure there is no E?
Me: No e, that would make my name Christine. My name is Christin.
BBS: Oh.
----------------------
(Relaying the tale to Jonathan later.)
Me: I felt so rude. "No e, that would make my name Christine. My name is Christin."
Jonathan: That isn't rude. A rude but not uncalled for response would have been: "Bitch, did I stutter?".

So now I have a copy reserved at Borders. I'm finally going to make my Hogwarts' school robe and go as a Slytherin House student. Yeah, I'm 27 and still cosplay, what is it to you?
It's a shame my hair is so long now. I could crosplay and go as Harry again.
The Borders Book Seller gave me three stickers, two for supporting Snape and one , as pictured above with the hilarious tag line "Snape is a very bad man.".
61 days and counting.
