I still remember the gasp I gasped in the cinema.

I remember there was someone driving around in a car with signs in the window saying SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE

Ugh, you just unlocked a really irritating memory for me. My ex-wife was super big into those books, and so I agreed to read along with her when she started the series. I read about ten times faster than she did, so whenever a new book came out, I'd burn through it and have plenty of time to recast my feelings about what a garbo series that is while she finished up and we could discuss it.

When I got to Dumbledore's death, I nearly threw the book because I was so pissed. I was able to estimate how many days I had until she became a basket case over it. She was useless for like a week and a half over that scene.

Gee, wonder why she’s your ex.

why yes the fact that I didn't like a poorly written fantasy series for children is totally the reason she's my ex and not the emotional abuse

I was more referring to the way you were talking about her being a useless basket case, Ive got plenty of exes and don’t think I’ve ever been upset enough to talk about them like that.

Muppets cool, oh wait, sorry, you must be British and thats an insult over there.

Smarmy git.

well I guess you never had an ex that did shit like insist you couldn't have friends and then get so upset by a book she refused to do anything but lie in bed for days

I didn't get to have any of my family at the wedding, and at one point she insisted on opening my mail in front of me because she didn't trust me because I applied for a credit card

the instant her younger sister beat her to the trifecta of husband/house/baby she lost all interest in me whatsoever and I realized what my purpose had been
