I plan to get good and spoiled. Then get spoiled some more. As many times as possible. Yep.

[shishmish.livejournal.com]

Yep I'll be going on a hiatus until I've read the book and gotten over what happens. I also won't be online, but if I have to be then I won't be looking at any communities or friend pages that might spoil it for me.

[so-severus.livejournal.com]

I have to check my email since I'll be taking a summer class but I'm not sure what my involvement with lj will be. I might do the same as you.

[shishmish.livejournal.com]

I'll probably have the same issues as you, as I'll be looking for jobs and possibly receiving emails from prospecting employees. If I do have to check them, I just won't look at anything from LJ or bother coming on here. I'll also be turning my phone of silent as well, as I'm sure my mates will be trying to squee down the phone at me.

[so-severus.livejournal.com]

oh crap
I forgot I need to be looking for a place to live too... so I'll have to check mail. I'm worried that in my gmail around the ads bit they'll spoil it for me!

I am worried that one of my friends will text me a spoiler but if they do I will have to AK them

[shishmish.livejournal.com]

Try setting up a new email account at say, hotmail and using that instead for the month when the book comes out. They don't have the same sort of adverts that gmail has.

That'll happen to me, seeing as two good friends are extremely Harry Potter obsessed, and both want to be able to prove me wrong about Snape *grrr*

[so-severus.livejournal.com]

good idea. I might use my columbia mail since they don't have adverts either

i think some of my friends will do an I told you so song and dance routine if Snape turns out to be teh evil

less than a month away * breathes out *

[shishmish.livejournal.com]

Same with mine, little goody-two-shoes. One of them doesn't understand the concept that not all people are black or white; some are grey like Snape.

I've got graduation, the new movie and the new book all in one month - phew!

[so-severus.livejournal.com]

for real
lots going down :) should be one of the best months ever!

[othersideofthis]

I won't be going on a real hiatus, but will probably start reading my flist on my no-communities filter the week running up to the book release. Although I have family coming to visit in July anyway, so even if I don't mind being online, I'll probably not be around much for it to matter. ;)

Once I start reading, I'll probably not read my flist for the next couple of days until I finished. I'm actually more concerned with being spoiled by like, the newspaper on Monday than I am about being spoiled online. I just have this nightmare of going out to catch the bus to work on Monday morning only to have the newspaper headline be all "LOLZ SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE" or whatever the spoiler will actually be. ;)

Also, my boss is a HP fan and I have the feeling she'll finish the book before me -- I might have to bribe her with candy to keep her from telling me the end.

[so-severus.livejournal.com]

yesterday I had a community (fake)spoil so non-comm filter seems to be a good idea. I have to take a class and look for apts in July so I won't be around much but will have to check my email a lot.

LOL!!! I am so worried at that too. I was complaining to my parents that I rather not take a class and sit at home and read because spoilers could lurk anywhere. If I walk to school then newspapers might do it. If I take a bus or subway then ads or obnoxious people might spoil it. Once I'm in class, students or teachers even might give something away. I don't think I'll turn on my tv until I'm done reading.

It's weird since I want to enjoy the last book and take my time reading but on the other hand I want to read it quickly as to avoid the ending being spoiled.

Oh and the worst would be people with spoiler t-shirts!! I'm sure there will be many around the City. Fckers!

bribe your boss!!!!!

[hllangel]

I'll be at a friend's wedding the weekend the movie comes out, and will try to avoid any and all spoilers when I get back.

I REALLY don't want to be spoiled for this one, as it's the last one, and HOPEFULLY, I'll be able to stretch out my reading for a few days, because I don't want it to end.

PSST: it should be "No second chances. I'm that sort of a reader." instead of the other way around. Why yes, I did just watch the Christmas Invasion yesterday...

[so-severus.livejournal.com]

I know! I want to stretch it out but don't want to be spoiled

lol you're right but I'm not going to change it :P

[a-mannequins.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking around July 15th.
I'll be off!
Err, hopefully.
*resists*
*icon*

And I just headed over to those icons to snag and comment :)

Oh, and I replied to your earlier post with the Burn the Maps album.

[so-severus.livejournal.com]

oh awesome~!

[http://users.livejournal.com/phistolemon_/]

jeez I dno what to do about the book and everything.

I don't even know how to read it yet.
if I read it fast I can keep up with the fan talk,
but then it's all over, y'know, the last book and I don't want to run through it.
if I read it slow I'll be very slow and many will be ahead of me, I'll probably stumble over spoilers since I just CAN'T be NOT online or on lj.. so, I really can't decide and it sucks because the book will be out soon :(
dammit.

[so-severus.livejournal.com]

i might read it once fast to keep up and then reread it again slowly

[http://users.livejournal.com/phistolemon_/]

lol @ fitting icon.

hmm I dno yet *sighs* why is this so difficult? xD;;

omgbtw.. did you see the new snape pic? *melts*

[sakitokun.livejournal.com]

I'll probably do some reading on the internet and d/l but I don't think I will check my lj since it was spoiled last year by some punk jackass.

[so-severus.livejournal.com]

oh no! :(

[aleysiasnape.livejournal.com]

I probably won't be on haitus. Since I won't see the movie until two weeks after opening weekend.
I love those icons! Snagged Severus and Lucius. My favorite is the Lucius icon! I love that outfit on him!

[so-severus.livejournal.com]

lucius looks really yum
although when does he not lol

[aleysiasnape.livejournal.com]

Knowing me I'll probably be paying more attention to the Severus and Lucius scenes in the movie.

[so-severus.livejournal.com]

as will I

[ebonyserpent.livejournal.com]

I want to get spoiled for this book, but I'm still kind of debating because I know it's much more fun to read when you have no clue what'll happen. Thing is, I know I'm going to hate the book if Snape dies (and I'll LOATHE it entirely if he really is evil), so I think I'd rather know beforehand. I figure spoilers will save me a lot of time and grief if that's the case, or if it's all good news, than so much the better! :)

So no, I won't be going on haitus from LJ, except for when I'll have book 7 in my hands, reading it. I'll probably read it straight through if I can, and only then will I start poking aorund on LJ. The only book I couldn't finish in one sitting on its release was OotP. My eyes went all crossed, and I was only 2 or 3 chapters from the end, dammit! *g*

Ooh, icon prettyness! *steals some Snapes and Luciuses*

[so-severus.livejournal.com]

if Snape turns out to be evil then I will be really upset :(
If he dies in a noble way I'll cry but will be okay with it... although I say that now

oh man only 2/3 chapters away
so close

[counting-rain.livejournal.com]

ooo i LOVE obstacle 1 and <3 interpol...the closest they are touring this summer is in either AC or rochester=boo i want to see them SO bad!!!

[so-severus.livejournal.com]

I've never seen
and they came to cornell when we were there!
we lose :(

[mangoesque.livejournal.com]

I got spoiled the last time about Remus his lady trouble, so I'm going to be extremely careful this time. Also, I won't be ordering from Amazon but getting the book at 2.01 am local time on July 22nd.

I'm already off livejournal (only stumbled here today because someone left a creepy anonymous comment) except for some ONTD every now and then but will probably quit that too soon. But it's not all because of my spoiler-phobia, I have to study for med-school admittance exams (for spring 08, mind you) and therefore have to limit my internet time.

I'm kind of dreading what kind of a havoc the new film and especially the new and last book will bring on my studying. I'm thinking I'll give myself a week off studying to bury myself in DH and fandom.

(Just noticed how long my comment is... This is exactly why I'm off lj. :D)
