So. Any idea that this school year was going to be different than all the others has completely vanished. I've... reverted back to old Mandy, that is, loner-Mandy and nervous-awkward-timid-Mandy.

And I feel... I'm not sure. I feel safe, I feel relatively content, I suppose... but do I want that right now? I've been safe for the past six ( Read more... )

On blood: 
Blood is something that keeps me alive. That's the only thing about it that really concerns me. The rest is superfluous.

On school:
I've had about enough of it.

On weather:
It's getting colder. I like the smell of cold weather.

On siblings:
Tristram has finally gotten himself another job. And another girlfriend. This is the third one in the ( Read more... )

Hmm, be warned, Mandy Brocklehurst is about to jump on the complaning about NEWTs bandwagon.

I've been doing some research. If I want to get into the artifact conservation whatnot, I need the NEWTs in History of Magic and Potions. Charms and Ancient Runes will definetly be a help as well. So would DADA, but of course Mandy didn't take that this ( Read more... )

Well... Tristram was fired from Gringott's. Something about them cutting back on employees to save on gold, but as I quote from one of his now daily letters, "They're a fucking bank. Tons of bleeding gold lying around. Why not just use some of that?"

So anyway, now he's lying around at home, owling me every day because mum and dad have gotten tired ( Read more... )

MERLIN'S FUCKING BEARD I am the world's largest sodding idiot.

She kissed me. She kissed me the other day, and did I like it? Yes. Maybe. Really. I don't know.

Fuck. Can I ever make up my mind?

I can't stop thinking about her.

Again. Total bint. I think I'm just going to stay up here for the rest of my life. That sounds rather appealing ( Read more... )

I want to get drunk. I'm feeling social. Someone should host a party.

[Private: Morag]
While I fully appreciate some light entertainment with my scrambled eggs, what was that this morning? Made my day, probably.

My burn's mostly healed up. Carrots and sawdust seem to do the trick, apparently. I should write that one down. Or just remember ( Read more... )

Ahhhh. Weekend. Beautiful beautiful weekend. Er..... yes. I'm having one of those days where any sort of sensical, coherent human communication escapes me.

I've realized something. That I'm not quite ready to go out there... into the... real world, I guess you could call it? I have no idea what I'm doing. I'd rather just stay here at ( Read more... )

Sooo. New year comes with new realizations. I'm seeing all these people that have been in my classes for ages, we've been living under the same roof for the past seven years, and I don't know any of them.

It's kind of depressing really. You'd think after all this time I'd be able to swallow my shyness at least enough to say hello to people ( Read more... )

Weeeelll. Back at Hogwarts again. And I'm already having a..... let's say interesting time? Over the summer some of the staircases have decided that it would be amusing to trap me inside them for extended periods of time, it seems. Making me late for class. The castle has a vendetta against me, or something ( Read more... )

DANIELLA'S APPLICATION

Mandy is (at first glance) a shy girl, a wallflower of sorts. She tends to be reserved, even awkward or bookish, and doesn’t like to be the center of attention very often. Generally, she is kind, sunny and fond of people, she simply is more introverted than most. But when provoked, or when in a comfortable situation, she can ( Read more... )
