MyLifeIsAverage

Life is pretty normal today.
Today, my friend let me borrow her sixth Harry Potter book after she read it. When I got to the end at two o' clock in the morning on a school night, I called her, sobbing. All she could make out was "Dumbledore." She walked to my house in the rain in her pajamas to console me. That's a true friend. MLIA

haha really that is pretty amazing
 
[ - ]  JessieAndThePurpleCrayonGood: 2Bad: 42 years, 2 months ago
agreed.
 
[ - ]  MobileGood: 13Bad: 332 years, 2 months ago
Eh... meh.
 
[ - ]  LawlfaceGood: 9Bad: 202 years, 2 months ago
If it was anything but Harry Potter (or Twilight), this story would not be so bad if the OP was reading a completely different book that has yet to be mentioned on MLIA

Today, my friend let me borrow Beautiful Boy. When I got to the end at 2 AM, I called her, sobbing. All she could make out was "Nic." She walked... MLIA

...I have no idea what that story is, but either way, that made it sound much more average. <_<
 
[ - ]  LawlfaceGood: 5Bad: 352 years, 2 months ago
Must be a story about fags. Of course Mobile read it. Fakestory.
 
[ - ]  MobileGood: 5Bad: 12 years, 2 months ago
Uh... What?
 
[ - ]  MobileGood: 5Bad: 72 years, 2 months ago
Well, somebody fucked up.
 
[ - ]  MobileGood: 6Bad: 12 years, 2 months ago
It's the true story of a kid (Nic) who becomes addicted to meth, written by his dad (who is an author, so it doesn't suck), which shows the emotional trauma a meth addiction causes to a family.
 
[ - ]  LawlfaceGood: 4Bad: 52 years, 2 months ago
No joke, but now that you said that, I know what you are talking about now.
 
[ - ]  thatsme123Good: 8Bad: 42 years, 2 months ago
But if it's a book that is less known wouldn't that make it less average? I'm sure a lot of people were upset by Dumbledore's death.
 
[ - ]  AManLaGood: 2Bad: 22 years, 2 months ago
what's OP?
 
[ - ]  punkminkisGood: 7Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
Original Pranksta, son!

[ - ]  taterxtotsGood: 0Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
Well, it is accually highly probable that this happened for example, girl compulsivly reads MLIA, sees all the posts about harry potter, decides to read it. If you have ever read the books you know it is pretty super emotional and your attatched to Dumbledore by the 6th book, so it is pretty depressing. So this could OBVIOUSLY be true, atleast more true then most of the other Harry Potter posts on here.
 
[ - ]  FenaliGood: 19Bad: 82 years, 2 months ago
Why were you badded? Harry Potter's a good book, but people on this site are fucking obsessed. And thanks, all, for badding me.
 
[ - ]  BenjyblueGood: 19Bad: 62 years, 2 months ago
And you're just reading this now?!? You're a few years too late. Also, I think the timing might be a bit off here.
 
[ - ]  kooy137Good: 14Bad: 32 years, 2 months ago
i completely agree, there is no way you just found out dumbledore died, im fairly confident everyone in the world knows this by now
 
[ - ]  sammiebroflovskiGood: 7Bad: 92 years, 2 months ago
I didn't know until about 2 months ago..
 
[ - ]  AManLaGood: 2Bad: 42 years, 2 months ago
I also don't know!
 
[ - ]  killercxntpuntGood: 2Bad: 32 years, 2 months ago
Maybe not. Not if they aren't followers and haven't seen the movie yet. My friend Lauren went to see it in theaters and this chick screamed out to Dumbledore not to follow Snape cause he was going to die and Lauren was so angry because she didn't know he was going to die. It basically ruined the ending of the movie for her.
 
[ - ]  SquirrelSoupGood: 1Bad: 22 years, 2 months ago
Yeah I've never read HP myself...but just by reading this site I knew he died long time ago.
 
[ - ]  taterxtotsGood: 0Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
Even if you DID know he died, it is made alot more emotional in the book because you know how harrys feeling, and its very descriptive about how his body looked lifeless and how harry had hope that he would get up any moment and be alive... Its still emotional!
 
[ - ]  prplmkyfrGood: 0Bad: 03 days, 16 hours ago
I didn't know until 10 seconds ago.
 
[ - ]  SpoilerAlertGood: 4Bad: 32 years, 2 months ago
Maybe it took her friend that long to finish it?
 
[ - ]  Blade185Good: 2Bad: 12 years, 2 months ago
Haha, that was my first thought too. Some people just write today because they thought of a recent story and wanted to post it wihout saying "A few days/weeks ago", but this is KINDA stretching it.
 
[ - ]  AlwaysSmileGood: 8Bad: 22 years, 2 months ago
The OP just ruined the ENTIRE ending for me...Damnit.
 
[ - ]  taterxtotsGood: 0Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
Well, thats just too bad, if you didn't wanna know, you should've stopped after Half-Blood Prince. Thats what I do, so you never accidently get a spoiler.
 
[ - ]  NommNommNommGood: 5Bad: 32 years, 2 months ago
something feels funny about this. she seems to be so great a fan that she cries for dumbledore after his death, but she's only reading the book now??? how does that make sense??
 
[ - ]  taterxtotsGood: 2Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
I just read the book over the summer and im utterly obsessed 0.0 dont judge.
 
[ - ]  MiaKongGood: 0Bad: 12 years, 2 months ago
I find this funny this came out this recently because I just now (yesterday) watched the 6th movie... I had no idea either that he dies... I like the movies but am not obsessed... but I didn't cry lol
 
[ - ]  yumcerealGood: 8Bad: 22 years, 2 months ago
Keep her. True friends don't come everyday.
 
[ - ]  TheNovellaGood: 8Bad: 22 years, 2 months ago
Amen, sister/brother! Dumbledore, NO! :(
 
[ - ]  color-me-taraGood: 2Bad: 22 years, 2 months ago
that is one great friend!
 
[ - ]  kkay459Good: 2Bad: 22 years, 2 months ago
ik this is dedication.
 
[ - ]  youarenotaverageGood: 3Bad: 22 years, 2 months ago
aww that's sweet<3
 
[ - ]  ZeffrontGood: 1Bad: 32 years, 2 months ago
Haha @Benjyblue, that was my reaction. I was like, "Wait... this happened today?" ...Nonetheless, the OP's friend seems wonderful.
 
[ - ]  LemonFairyGood: 3Bad: 32 years, 2 months ago
You're about four years too late, OP. *pats* I am sorry, nonetheless.
 
[ - ]  MoonShoesPotterGood: 2Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
...lol, I fail. I apparently can't even log IN on the correct account. *diez*
 
[ - ]  MobileGood: 2Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
I like Lemon Fairy better.
 
[ - ]  MoonShoesPotterGood: 2Bad: 12 years, 2 months ago
I use it on every other website ever, pretty much. I got this one for some post once, and it stuck so I kept it because people recognized me as MSP. :P
 
[ - ]  killercxntpuntGood: 2Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
When I balled my eyes out reading A Child Called It none of my friends consoled me. What the hell? ]=
 
[ - ]  TrumpetteGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
*console* That is a terribly sad book.
 
[ - ]  killercxntpuntGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
I know. I read it in school too so I would be in class sniffeling and wiping my eyes. Or walking from glass to glass with tears streaming down my face. It was awful. People assumed something terrible happened, than I'd tell them it was from reading a book. They would just roll their eyes or give me weird looks.
 
[ - ]  LonelyStonerbffisabongGood: 0Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
I got about a fourth of the way until I realizes that I couldn't read it at school anymore. People started to stare.
 
[ - ]  LonelyStonerbffisabongGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
You need better friends. That book made me cry.
 
[ - ]  MoonShoesPotterGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
My friends did. And my fourth grade teacher consoled me over "Bridge to Terabithia"
 
[ - ]  NatzBcGood: 0Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
I totally loved that book, i cried while reading the book and while watching the movie!!!.....btw your username is totally awesome xD
 
[ - ]  MoonShoesPotterGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
I never saw the movie because, from what I gathered in the previews, they made it Fantasy. It... wasn't a fantasy novel...
 
[ - ]  aperplexingpuzzleGood: 0Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
nah, it wasn't really fantasy. It was just their imaginary world that was kind of fantasy, but they definitely lived in the real world. I didn't read the book, though, so I don't know how they compare.
 
[ - ]  MoonShoesPotterGood: 0Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
It just seemed to me like they put a lot more focus on the Fantasy/Terabithia aspect of it than in the book. The book mentioned it, but is was a touching piece of realistic fiction.
 
[ - ]  magician17Good: 1Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
A walk to remember by Nicholas Sparks has a pretty sad ending, and I usually don't cry over reading books. :P
 
[ - ]  TheHarryPotterGirlGood: 0Bad: 12 years, 2 months ago
sorry, what's OP?

[ - ]  bogartGood: 4Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
A little behind on your reading, OP? To tell the truth, I didn't cry when Dumbledore died. Sirius is another story. :(
 
[ - ]  InvisibleFriendGood: 2Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
Exactly the same with me. I was in the family room when Sirius died and I made a quick escape so no-one would see me.
 
[ - ]  color-me-taraGood: 4Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
I cryed for Sirius but for Dobby I balled my eyes out!
 
[ - ]  thatsme123Good: 4Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
I think Dobby is the only one I cried for...well until the end when JKR did her random massacre of awesome characters.
 
[ - ]  MoonShoesPotterGood: 1Bad: 12 years, 2 months ago
I bawled for Fred and I KNEW before the book came out that he was going to die. That's how obvious it was... :/
 
[ - ]  ohheykiwiGood: 0Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
It was?? O:
 
[ - ]  elsebyGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
lol I like your perception of the ending
 
[ - ]  My-Life-Is-Pretty-AverageGood: 2Bad: 12 years, 2 months ago
Much to cliche
 
[ - ]  Nicole54231Good: 0Bad: 12 years, 2 months ago
I cried at both. Well more like sobbed and had a fit. And at Shell Cottage part to. My friends and I had sleepover where we read the books after the midnight thingy for the first time. My parents were worried when they heard me Scream "Dumbledore No!" Your friend is awesome
 
[ - ]  breathecarolinafanGood: 5Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
I cried when Fred and Snape died :'(
 
[ - ]  rugby06Good: 2Bad: 12 years, 2 months ago
I was so upset when Sirius died that I refused to read book six for the longest time. Then my sister read it and told me he wasn't really dead after all, so I read it. LIAR!
 
[ - ]  RockChalkJayhawksGood: 3Bad: 12 years, 2 months ago
After I read all the books a second time I quickly realized how many plot-holes there were, and how the story really did not flow together, especially the absolutely horrid epilogue that was just tacked on as if it was an afterthought.
 
[ - ]  EroicaGood: 0Bad: 22 years, 2 months ago
ummm, like what?
 
[ - ]  RockChalkJayhawksGood: 2Bad: 12 years, 2 months ago
First: How in the world would Voldemort get into the school on the back of Quirrel's head without nobody noticing? Don't you think in a school full of magic someone would have noticed,mainly the fully trained wizarding staff? Second, If Dumbledore and Moody were such great friends, how does he not notice that he is being impersonated? Third, How in the world would Harry forget the two-wayed communication mirror that his Godfather gave him? Fourth reason is the relationships Ron and Hermione?? Are you freaking kidding me?? Constant bickering is not a symptom of unresolved sexual tension or hidden feelings for each other. It usually means you generally do not like someone. And really Harry and Ginny?? Odepius Complex to the tenth degree. And there are a million more reasons and examples.
 
[ - ]  harlesGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
You know I feel that it was mentioned somewhere that Potter men had an affinity for red heads.
 
[ - ]  taterxtotsGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
My comments on your things... First: Its not very respectful to go and ask someone whats under a turben on their head. I mean it couldve been like a huge scar from being cursed or somthing, its just NOT POLITE. second... Polyjuice Potion is quite comvincing, and if he wouldve watched him for awhile, he would be able to flawlessly assume his life. And as it was stated, Snape and Moaning Murtle (Murdle?) thought that it was harry. third... It was a vision, he thought sirius was ebing hurt, he needed to act immediately, you SAW the rush he was in, its hard to thing clear in that kind of situation fourth...Uhh, have you ever heard the saying "bicker like an old married couple" and people pickon eachother when they like them? and Harry and Ginny are adorable, he broke up with her for her own good, and they missed eachother, its good writing to have complex realtionships, it adds a sense of depth.
 
[ - ]  margaretiGood: 0Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
I feel like you do not totally understand the meaning of an Oedipus complex...unless you would like to enlighten me on how Ginny is like Harry's mother?
 
[ - ]  djmosquitoGood: 1Bad: 12 years, 2 months ago
She's a true friend. And don't worry, I cried too. Nobody came to comfort me though. :(

I had to register just so I could downvote this.
 
[ - ]  boobGood: 1Bad: 12 years, 2 months ago
Anyone who cares abut harry potter enough to cry about it would most likely know that dumbledore died by now (or i would assume)...shit, it got out before the book did
 
[ - ]  tareeqaGood: 2Bad: 22 years, 2 months ago
I don't think this happened... thats kind of sad you had to make that up too? don't you have better things to do?
 
[ - ]  elsebyGood: 0Bad: 52 years, 2 months ago
fucking loser
 
[ - ]  KaitithsLIAGood: 3Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
aww what a good friend!!
 
[ - ]  Gibbler14Good: 4Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
I can see this happening, I saw the movie before I read the book and I had no idea that he died and then I read the book after I saw the movie and I still cried!
 
[ - ]  BaltoyGood: 2Bad: 52 years, 2 months ago
Don't Bad this because it's my opinion, but that sounds either WAY to emotional to be true, or having some kind of OCDisorder. Dont get me wrong, I love the series, but people, this book is FICTION!
 
[ - ]  margaretiGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
Trust me friend, more than a few people cried over Dumbledore.
 
[ - ]  jstlykthtGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
wow.. two true crazy HP fans.. hats off !!!! we need fans like you..
 
[ - ]  taterxtotsGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
AGREED!
 
[ - ]  ironmaiden860Good: 0Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
i was only sad when dobby died in the seventh book
 
[ - ]  margaretiGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
Ok, I AM the OP, and I feel something must be cleared up here. I put "Today," out of habit, not because it actually happened that day. It actually happened...Mmm...what? Two years ago? Something like that? Haha, does it really matter when it happened? Someday this will be on page...like 956, and then nobody will be having that comment.
 
[ - ]  margaretiGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
Btw, I posted this story now because I very recently started reading MLIA, and felt like my personal experience with HP would be amusing for some. <3
 
[ - ]  margaretiGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 2 months ago
And also, watching the movie just wasn't the same for me. Reading the book was so much worse. That was a hard night.
