Much as our players are complaining about my shouting instructions to them from the window, it's actually not as bad as they think - they're really a lot better than they know. I should know, I've been watching all the practices. Yes, even the Slytherin one - I was going to say something on Potter's journal, but it was more fun watching them all ( Read more... )

I've been reading my journal entries from over a year ago (I've been keeping a journal for over a year now, and I never really thought myself the type to keep one at all, let alone for this long) and it's actually kind of sad how naïve I was even a year ago. I thought myself so cynical and street-smart, and yet, I knew nothing about it at all. I ( Read more... )

I have a cat. I thought everyone should know. Well, actually, no, I didn't think that at all, but it's the most noteworthy thing that has happened to me since Thursday, so thus, I mention it. I haven't named her yet (I can't think of anything), but there. She's been mentioned.

Having received a rather...interesting recording yesterday, I would ( Read more... )

Can we all pretend that yesterday didn't happen? Please? I swear, no-one told us that it'd be like that, because if they had, there would be no way that I would have picked up my journal had I known that it was going to be like that. Or I might have, but I would have known what was happening, but I didn't know, so that wasn't fair ( Read more... )

I seem to have been adopted by, to be honest, the smallest cat I have ever seen in my life. I kid you not, this cat would fit twice into my hand. I don't know who owns her (well, I think it's a her, I'm not looking, because there are small children around), but she would have to be owned by someone. She's too little to not be. Someone would ( Read more... )

So far, this week has sucked, and it's only Monday. It does not bode well for the rest of this week, and I might just decide to skip it altogether. In case anyone was wondering what I was on Sunday (apparently I caused a bit of consternation), I was getting sick. Apparently I caught what the first years had (among other things, which aren't that ( Read more... )

So that all may know and to stop the questions, yes, I am perfectly aware that my left eye is swollen shut. I have come to this realisation because I am incapable of seeing out of it. Also, no, no-one hit me. Very simply put (although quite embarrassing, to tell the truth) I blacked out and smacked a door handle on the way down ( Read more... )

Did you know that boa constrictors kill their prey by constriction before swallowing them whole? I didn’t know that before this morning. Early this morning. Justin didn’t sleep. Neither did the rest of us, really. Fell asleep in my classes. Professor Snape humiliated me in front of the class again ( Read more... )

Yes, so I’m on the annual Hufflepuff meetup, and while I don’t normally think a lot of it, here’s a quick and dirty summary so that you may all be educated. Basically, we all meet up, make each other buy our school books (and I maintain that Megan’s method to get me to buy my potions stuff was cruel and unusual punishment), split up to talk about ( Read more... )

Ever thought you could disappear? I've been trying all day. It would be interesting, to see the world and how people react around you, without being able to see you. You wouldn't affect things (because they wouldn't respond to you) and you could see things for what they really are. I suppose, though, that seeing things as they really are, which ( Read more... )
