I've not been to a dance in what feels like quite a while now, for one reason or another. I'll certainly be at the upcoming dance, though, and hopefully my prefect duties won't become too much of a distraction. You'll all be good, won't you? Nobody wants to lose house points right before a holiday.

On that note, if any ladies are fond of proper ( Read more... )

I've a few things to mention, if you'll all bear with me ( Read more... )

I understand everyone's embarrassment about the contraceptives, really, but I do urge everyone to take advantage of them nonetheless. Condoms may be embarrassing -- I'm not sure I'd want to ask anybody else for them, either.

It's odd that the older one gets, the faster the years go. Mother mentioned that to me when I was young, but I'm only just now seeing that it's true. That's not a complaint, mind you. It's been a wonderful birthday so far ( Read more... )

I'm surprised that attendance to our Sunday church outings hasn't increased at all recently. As Christmas approaches, I'm always more inspired than ever to worship. And that aside, we've been getting so much upsetting news about the war lately that even the generally non-religious might be inspired to attend. If anybody is hesitating to join us, ( Read more... )

[This actually wasn't meant to be an entry; Jules just needed some paper and all he had handy was his journal. Normally, he wouldn't be absentminded enough to let it be public, but recent events have left him a bit distracted ( Read more... )

Just to make things clear, I wasn't involved in this. Although I think it's rather nice. And that drawing looks nothing like me.

My sisters have informed me that I'll be taking pictures of it for them.
