Your Bio

Every portrait painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself.

- From The picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

Harry Potter Book Release : We stayed up until midnight waiting for the release of the latest Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows.  We got to the book store at about 11:15 pm and found a small group of "hard core" Potter fans there.  We were about 50th in line.  However, but the time midnight came, there were about 300 people behind us in the line!
