I like how HSC stress is finally starting to hit everyone. No, not really, that's a lie. I'd prefer if it didn't. Then again, if I were more stressed, I wouldn't be on the computer right now.

Two days. Ugh. But also, two and a half weeks until wonderful freedom. I can't wait.^^

Also! I missed Survivor! Lari? Care to tell what happened?

Greta's Survivor notes! ((Good thing I had this taped - I forgot what happened ^^)) greta_the_great October 15 2005, 09:23:30 UTC
I want a crocodile! They're neat looking!

Anyway, on topic! Blake seemed fairly confident over as Yaxhá! And they were having issues about being from different parts of America! Especially Brian!

Then they had a challenge where they chopped a rope and a log to get some handles to put in this crank to pull a cart up a hill! Then they had to cut another rope to get the cart back to the bottom of the hill! So they could win alcohol and a crocodile proof swimming thing! Anyway, Yaxhá won! Like, by a way lot! Because Jamie couldn't cut the ropes with the rock!

The crocodile-proof swimming pool is really, really neat looking! Hopefully you'll see it next week because you've got to see it! But they were unhappy at Nakúm! Cindy and Judd fought! And that Stephenie person was very angry and tired of losing! She thinks she's stuck on another losing trible (Has she done this before or something?! She mentioned being jealous of Bobby Jon winning but saying he knows what it's like to lose, too!)!

Then it rained and at Yaxhá Brian and Blake managed to sleep and everyone else was all sarcastic about it! They call him 'Golden Boy' and are annoyed by him!

Their 'immunity challenge' consisted of one person launching balls on strings and the other six held two nets to try and catch them! It was fun looking! They all fell over a lot! Nakúm won! I was so very happy for them! Just so they would stop whinging!

Brian was worried about himself, Gary and Amy because they were in a minority - I think they'd mixed the tribes up or something?! But they said that they were going to vote for Blake! The other three were so-so about it - well, Danni seemed interested! And even though she hated being a 'sing vote' she apparently switched sides because Blake was voted out! Good! He was a bit annoying - he reminded me of Sirius a bit, really!

By the way - that Jeff man?! He's so dramatic! "Once the votes are read, the decision is final! Bwahahahaha!"

Okay! That's all!

No wait! Next week, people are going to fight and Amy's going to be crushed by a rock! And Blake doesn't know why he was voted out! I think Sirius would be confused if he was voted out, too! We should play this Survivor game at Hogwarts, don't you think?! It would be fun!

I watched Survivor last week! It looked fantastic! I can't believe I missed it this time!

You want a crocodile?! Why? That's the sort of animal Hagrid would want!

Blake was the really good looking one, right? If only Emily had seen him, she would have been in love! And he had such a good body, too!

Okay, I'll try to watch it next week! But you have to remind me!

Nakum, were they yellow or blue? I can't remember! But it's the other tribe that had Bobby Jon and Blake, that's the tribe I like, because they are both so gorgeous!

What do you mean, annoying?! Sirius is not annoying! But he is like Blake, because he's so fit!

Playing it at Hogwarts would be really super! I bet Spinks would be the first to go! Hopefully we'd be on the same tribe! And hopefully Sirius would be too! But then, you'd want Ben! Imagine the two of them in the same tribe! That would be awful! I wouldn't know what to do!

It is pretty fantastic!

I think I know why Hagrid likes them! What do you imagine it would be like if he taught Care of Magical Creatures instead of Professor Kettleburn?! More interesting, I'll bet!

He was pretty good looking, but not so much as Bobby Jon, I think! And he was annoying, so that took away from his looks! Like he was going on about his girlfriend and how large her breasts were!

I'll try to remind you!

Nakúm was the yellow one, I think! It was the one with Stephenie on it and the one that Bobby Jon and Blake weren't on (obviously, as Blake was 'voted out!)!

I was dead with him for a month! He can be pretty annoying!

Wouldn't it be grand! Don't you start with sixteen or something?! And there were sixteen of us who duelled! Although I think they might have started with eighteen this time, so we could maybe add in a couple other people! Like Emily and Zan! It would be horrid if they were on the same tribe! We would have to team up and vote them both off right away to be fair!

Hee!

Oh no, every lesson would be so frightening, you'd never know what to expect with him! Though at least it'd be easier for him to manage the animals than for Professor Kettleburn! Poor man.

Was this only the last time it was on, because I didn't hear anything about his girlfriend. I don't know...I think Bobby Jon is probably fitter, but Blake's body was much better. You'd know more about that though, since I've never snuck into anywhere full of naked boys! Which makes me extremely jealous.

Great!

Stephenie, is she the really tanned girl? Isn't she really competitive? I don't like her much, she seems bossy!

You hardly spent much time with him! You actually went to class! And besides, I'm sure everyone is annoying when they think they're dead!

I'm not sure! I think they had 9 each to begin, so I guess it'd be 18. Having all four of would be great! But then, I'm not sure how Emily would handle the wilderness. Or me, actually! We couldn't vote them out straight away! He's your boyfriend! And Sirius would be really strong for the team! We'd need strong players! Who would also walk around with their shirts off all day.

I wouldn't have even taken CoMC if Clara hadn't assured me that he was a really nice man! He looks a bit scary with all those scars he has! Hagrid probably would handle the animals better, but then he might show us dragons or crocodiles!

Yes, it was this time after they won the swimming pool! He was talking about his girlfriend and that she has double D breasts or something equally inane and even the ones that didn't vote him out were just getting pretty annoyed from what I could tell! And at least you've never been punished for sneaking in and seeing naked boys! Though I suppose it was worth it! Especially Fiyero Cromwell! I wonder how he manages to share a room with Evan Rosier - Evan seems kind of...I can't think of the word I want!

Yeah! She's pretty tan and competitive! But I don't think she's so bad! She's the kind of person that would make a good Quidditch player!

See what good it did me! I was still behind when I got back! And I was around him enough! Though he didn't used to seem so bad when we were getting back at Morgan last year!

Wouldn't it, though?! I think we would manage the wilderness okay! But maybe we wouldn't, I don't know! And it would be fair, wouldn't it?! If we as roommates teamed up to vote them out straight away?! Especially if their fighting was making it impossible for us to win the challenges! You are so predictable! Though you do have a fair point!

I only decided on CoMC because I thought we'd get to see really pretty animals, like Unicorns, but we still haven't! I think he said we'd get to them soon though, didn't he? Exactly! If Hagrid chose the animals...I don't think many of us would be continuing with it next year!

He said that to everyone? I doubt his girlfriend would be too pleased. Of course it was worth it! Honestly, Greta. Did you see Evan, too?! He's a bit of a...Well, you know I don't like to swear, but I do think he'd be very easy on the eyes in a situation like that!

Yes, she'd make a good Beater! They have to be aggressive!

I didn't really talk to him much last year. That's because I didn't like him then, I liked Remus. I, er, did tell you about that, right?

I don't know! Have you ever even gone camping? I haven't! I've seen Muggles try it though. It looks so difficult. But Greta, imagine if it were just you, me, Emily and Zan left on a tribe. Do you think we'd ever win? You'd love it just as much as I would! Except that Ben would get angry. Oh well, Emily and I could still sit around basking in it all. Now Emily, she wouldn't want to get rid of Sirius either!

We should! Do you think they're on our OWL?! We'd better see them if they are! I don't know if I'm going to continue with it next year, anyway! I know what classes I drop will depend on my scores, but I'm still starting to give it a bit of thought!

He did! I doubt she will, either! I saw so many, that I might've, but I honestly don't remember! He is rather fit, but he's really more of the 'look, don't touch' variety, I think!

They do! And she would!

No! You didn't! Do spill!

I've never gone camping, no! So we probably would be hopeless at it! But imagine if the other team was made up of Narcissa and Bellatrix and Regulus and the like! Surely we could easily beat them! I know I would! But I don't want that - I don't like it when we're angry with each other! And you and Emily! Honestly!

They probably will be! Great, I've been looking forward to it for so long! I'm definitely dropping History of Magic, I don't care if I get an O (which I won't, in any case), I am not keeping it!

What do you mean, 'look don't touch'? He's definitely fit, not that I could ever like him, he hits on every girl he talks to!

I didn't? Oh. Well, it's nothing really. I just had a little crush on him, last year. For most of the year. I wanted to ask him to the dance, but then I found out he was probably going with Chase, so I couldn't! I think James knew I liked him though. James always knows! He knew I liked Sirius, too! That can get really annoying!

We could beat Narcissa and Regulus with no effort. But Bellatrix, I wouldn't put it past her to try something against the rules to win it. It wouldn't be normal if you did like it when you're angry at each other! I guess you'll just have to stick to Ben, while Emily and I swoon over numerous shirtless boys. Maybe Gilderoy would be in our tribe too! And I don't see what's wrong with that! We're normal teenage girls!

Oh definitely! Do you think anyone takes History of Magic to NEWT level?! I suppose there must be a few! I definitely want to keep Potions and Charms and Arithmancy! I want to drop History and CoMC, and probably either Astronomy or Runes, depending on which one I do better in, but I do think I want to keep up with seven classes!

Don't you get the impression that he...kind of gets around?! Maybe he doesn't and only makes us want to think that! But I wouldn't want to be with someone where I was only like a conquest or something - with Bart it means something! I know he likes me for me! At least when I'm feeling rational! But that's what I mean by 'look don't touch'! He's pretty to look at but I couldn't, well, lower myself for someone who wouldn't truly appreciate me!

Oh, how cute! Now that you've mentioned it, I can totally see it! But you weren't as obvious about it as you've been with this whole thing with Sirius! James is really something sometimes, isn't he?!

But then wouldn't she be automatically disqualified?! And if she wouldn't be, then we could sink down to her level and also do something against the rules to allow us to win! Although she does have two more years of experience than we do! Well, that's very true! I don't mind sticking to Ben! And he shouldn't mind terribly if I swoon over some shirtless boys, would he?! Though I guess I wouldn't really want him doing the same to the other girls, so it makes sense! YES! Gilderoy can be on our tribe any day of the week! And then some! There's nothing wrong with it, but I can still tease you about it!

I guess there must. But it's probably only people who actually need it for their career. I want to keep those three too, plus DADA! I think I'll keep Runes, but not Astronomy. And Transfiguration too, that's always useful! That's six, I think that's enough!

Yes, it seems that way sometimes, I guess they just fall for his looks and don't care that he'd go for any girl. I see what you mean! I don't think anyone in our year would, either!

That's because I didn't think Remus liked me back! Not that Sirius does. Well, maybe he does. I think he does sometimes. But he probably doesn't. I don't know! Does he?!

I doubt she'd get caught, I bet she can be dreadfully sneaky! We could do that, so long as we made sure no one knew! The four of us would be better than the one of her! Though she'd make Regulus and Narcissa do it too. But they're both a year younger than us! That's lucky, it'd be a bit worrying if you did mind! I don't know, is he the jealous type? I don't think Ben would be looking at other girls, he's not that kind of guy! Though Sirius is...But if I'm going to do it too, I can't complain! Go Gilderoy! The only reason he didn't win his duel was because he didn't want to hurt Alice, I'm sure, because he's so great! Fine! Tease away! I'll just picture all those shirtless bodies!

Or for people who just aren't very good with magic and aren't allowed to continue in classes like DADA and Charms! I guess I'm an overachiever, bit I admit I'm fond enough of Herbology - I think it helps with Potions - that I want to keep it to and make it seven! I only took Runes because Clara recommended it to me, being a Rune translator and all! I like it well enough, but I like Astronomy as much, so that one will really be determined by exam scores! Unless I really bomb DADA which is a possibility! Then I could take both Runes and Astronomy!

There are plenty of girls who don't seem to mind, I guess, but I hold myself to higher standards than that!

You're asking me?! I couldn't tell you a thing going on inside Sirius Black's head, and I don't take Divination, so I can't even try that way!

Well, I can be dreadfully sneaky, too, so I think we'd do well! I think we have a fair chance of taking them on! I mean, look at how you duelled! You're a lot better than you give yourself credit for! True! I don't know if he is or not - I haven't asked him! I do admit that I was a bit jealous when he was paying Alice all those comments, though! Of course that's why he didn't win! We all know he could have taken her out within a couple minutes! You do that! I might join you!

That's also true! But we're smarter than that, of course! We are Ravenclaws! Herbology...I suppose I might go on with that, if I get an E or an O. But as I'm averaging A at the moment, I probably won't! Runes is interesting, though I'm not sure how useful. You won't bomb DADA, not the way you study!

So do I!

I'm not asking you to get inside his head, I was just wondering what it looks like from the outside! I can't get a proper perspective of it from where I am! And I don't want to listen to Ben, because he obviously won't have anything good to say!

I know you can be sneaky! I dueled all right! I really wish I hadn't had to go against Ben, he's so amazing a it! You don't ask if he's jealous, silly, you should just be able to tell! He really could've! And he was so nice at the end, being so polite to her about it! He's so magnanimous! Who wouldn't want to join me when I'm doing something like that?!

Yes, but being a Ravenclaw doesn't necessarily make you brilliant at magic! You could just be good with the book stuff! Runes is interesting, but I know I'm not going to go into it as a career like Clara did so it will be no big loss! And I could bomb DADA! You saw how I was at my one duel! It's definitely not my strongest subject!

Well, it does seem like he was singling you out as far as the duels go, so that probably is a good sign! But then again, Sirius doesn't really seem to do relationships!

He is amazing, isn't he?! ♥! I think I'd better start watching closer, then! He really is! He's pretty much perfect, don't you think?! And you have a point!

No, but being good with the book stuff is definitely helps with being good on the practical side! Yes, as I don't want a career in it, I don't need it really, but I don't want to drop it, either. But you were up against Quirrel, and DADA is one of his best subjects!

You think?! No, he's not the relationship type. I really, really want to just forget about him, but I can't!

Yes, he is! When he keeps himself out of my business, anyway. Maybe you ought to! He's very close to perfect, yes! He would be, if it weren't for the fact that there's still a boy in our school who's better looking than he is! Hee! And I know! It's a wonderful way to pass time!

Well, I think they both work off each other but you can be good at magic and terrible at writing essays and vice-versa, really! I guess I'll see what happens! And I know DADA is one of Quirrell's best subjects, but I really was rather lost out there!

Yeah, sure! I'm sure you'll be able to eventually!

All right then! I will! You are so biased! Gilderoy really is the most handsome boy in school! And it is!

I guess. I still think if you're good at one it benefits the other. That's because you were nervous! I remember how jittery you were at my duel, and you didn't even have to go against anyone!

Yes, I expect I will. I keep hoping...But there's no point, really.

I am not biased! He is just honestly the best looking boy in our whole school! It's a fact! Gilderoy is second, closely followed by James, but that doesn't change who's the first!
