Tomorrow marks the second year since Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.  I'm posting my entry tonight because I don't know if I'll have time after school tomorrow.  Honestly?  This year, I didn't try as hard.  The first part is from my journal that I wrote while on vacation.

In the Atlanta airport, waiting for the next flight, I ( Read more... )

Brace yourselves!  After angsting over the fact that I hadn't written anything HP-related in a while, but not being motivated enough to change that, I went searching through my old Word documents and stumbled upon an old ficlet of mine!  Apparently, I started writing it in freshman year but never got around to finishing it off.  However, I think it ( Read more... )

It was a pink bag, a Pepto-Bismol pink bag, with alternating snowman in vertical rows.  She clutched the garish, fuzzy, lime-green handles, all four pairs of them, in one hand, the other hand holding magazines that had kept her company on the long flight from Ohio to Louisiana.

She sat in the green chair that didn’t belong to her, looked around ( Read more... )

I actually wrote this yesterday, so I could post it this morning before school on the official one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.  I've been trying to think of something to say for about a month now, because I've known it was coming and it was staring me down.

Well, well, well, look at what we have here.  Today, May 29, marks nine months since Hurricane Katrina hit.  You can have a baby in that time span.  It's... well, it's rather mind-boggling.  It's like, how can I have lived like this for nine months, when I know all of this isn't right?

I wore my clog shoes today.  They're my bad-luck shoes.  (I have ( Read more... )

Sorry for the short hiatus.  I popped up to comment in a couple of journals but didn't really post.  I am miserable.  I'm sick and exams have started and I am a terrible, terrible person ( Read more... )

Haha, I was on the MCA website and saw the pictures of the graduating seniors, and then I spotted a picture of Angela with her candle!  Which reminded me that I had her Neville/Ginny fic request ready and I figured I'd better post it before I completely forgot and it got swept into the murky depths of Word, like so many others do.  So without ( Read more... )

Many, many thanks to Angela for supplying me with a picture of J.K. Rowling to draw for my required Art I portrait.  I suppose I'm pretty pleased with how it came out; there are some things I wish I could change but I neither have the patience nor the required materials now that I've brought the picture home.  At any rate, it got a 100 A, so I ( Read more... )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
