AND DONE! 24 hours after waking up from a 2 hour nap for this, with only an hour nap in the morning of sleep, New Years Eve balloon hell is finished! Thank you, tumblr dear, for going through this with me. No one died, although we all feel like doing it, the 4 of us that powered through for the last day. Pudge and I shan’t be going to bed til like 12:30 or 1 though. Yet it is finished!

epicjohngreenquotes: “Do you guys remember that time when we were all definitely going to die and then Ben grabbed the steering wheel and dodged a ginormous freaking cow and spun the car like the tea cups at Disney World and we didn’t die?” —spoken by Radar in Paper Towns, by John Green

SAM I CAN’T REPLY TO YOUR REPLY BUT I WANTED TO SHANK HIM WITH MY SWISS ARMY KNIFE. ITS THAT BEAUTIFUL, AWESOME CEILING DISPLAY AND HE HAD THE GALL TO FROWN AT IT AND ASK ‘do you have more?’ AND THAT IS ALL. THE AMOUNT OF PROFANITY I HAVE FOR HIM IS DEEPLY EXACERBATED BY MY SEVERE LACK OF SLEEP. BUT SO MUCH HATE CURRENTLY IN MY BODY. PUDGE IS ANGRY TOO. SAM. SAM I AM SO TIRED.

This glass ceiling covered in 3 footers with a few of them with ribbons MIGHT be the coolest balloon jobs we’ve ever done. It was so incredibly easy, too.

I am COVERED in Hi-Float. Its as disgusting as ever, nice to know some things never change. In my hair, on my skin, all over my jeans. Poor jeans. There were no napkins and I spilled some so my pants got the brunt of it. Eughhhhhh. I’m staring down for all of the three footers. I’m also sitting with better posture against a chair with a back the entire time. Only 12 hours in....

Just filled up 3 confetti cannons. I am EXCELLENT at it. One of the things I love about doing the New Years jobs every year is the little things we do that people don’t think about. I mean, who thinks about the person who sat there and stuffed confetti in a cannon so it can explode out on other people? Nobody. And I like it. This job is autonomous and largely anonymous. I...

4 in the morning and Pudge and I have filled up: 1 net with 500 latex ballons. Made 5 bouquets of 5 foils a piece (I forgot how bitchy foils can be holy crap). Also, I have started to lose it, the way one does when tired. Mostly over Napoleon Dynamite quotes and my own immitation of Kip’s voice. Oh gosh Kim just got out the Elvis. ‘Youre my hunka hunka burnin’...

Headed out, a mere half an hour late, which is actually saying something. Two hours in the car, then balloons at Blue Chip til morning, maybe an hour of sleep, and then three foooters for all of New Years Eve. I have weird jobs sometimes. But at least I’ve got Pudge there with me! Onwards, to victory over sleep!

I don’t know why cleaning up glass (generally that I’ve broken) always makes me feel like an adult, but it does. Also being plunged into darkness in the laundry room in your basement sucks. As if I needed another reason to go nap til 8. Gotta rest up for the next day and a half. Oh iPod. I can’t believe this happened to us right now.

Actually time to go to sleep now. Listened to a song enough times it helped the missing of someone a little bit. Here is to hoping my iPod works, that Pudge and my family get along fairly well, and that Mountain Dew helps me get through Friday to Saturday. I’m coming for you, New Years. I’m coming for you and I’m armed with balloons and caffeine. Boom.

pottersmissingmoments: Ginny knows that he’s lying, and she knows that he will sit beside his children’s beds and watch over them until they fall back asleep. She thinks that this is because he understands what it’s like to have nightmares, but really it’s because Harry remembers every night that he woke with a nightmare and wanted his parents to be there, and he refuses to let his kids think...

2. In the days following the Battle of Hogwarts,...

pottersmissingmoments: The following morning, this was never mentioned. However, even in her grief, Molly knew exactly where each child was at any given moment, as she had long since learnt the sound of each of their footsteps. She never mentioned that the only child who never left his room at night was George, because she knew that not only would he never find sufficient comfort for his loss,...

iPod seems to have survived. Sort of. It’s just kinda dead and I’m not sure it’s holding a charge at all but it lights up when I put it on a charger, then stays red. Maybe it just needs more time on the charger? It gets all of tonight, anyway. I’m going to be up for 36 or more hours straight, I need it as my battery pack, this occurrence/behavior is poorly timed and I...
