TWO of Us
It's been an odd couple of days. I met the professor I'll be working with, a Yank auror named Dr. Spencer Reid. I was kind of excited to meet him, because he wrote this paper that I've read over and over about the use of Potions in auror interrogations that's completely innovative and exciting.
He seems nice enough. We had an interesting conversation.
[Private]
Until I insulted him. And then threatened him. And then probably insulted him again. It was like I possessed. I literally could not stop myself from saying everything I said. Maybe I was under Imperious. I should check myself.
I was so excited to meet him, and then he was all twitchy and superior and my team this and my team that and he just made me want to scream and pull my hair and then pull his hair...
[/Private]
It will be interesting, working with him. I haven't met any of the other professors yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
On a better note (no pun intended), I had hoped that I had avoided the spontaneous singing phenomenon, but suddenly I feel so...strange...
[begins singing in a soft sweet voice]
My stupid mouth has got me in trouble
I said too much again
to a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see she was offended
she said, 'well anyway,'
just dying for a subject change
Oh, it's another social casualty, score one more for me
how could I forget, Mama said,
'Think before speaking,'
No filter in my head,
oh what's a boy to do?
I guess I'd better find one soon
We bit our lips, she looked out the window
rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker
And I could see clearly an indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what just slipped out
And what went wrong
I'm never speaking up again, it only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery than she desert me
Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now...
One more thing,
why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard, but it's all because of this desire
I just want to be liked, I just want to be funny
Looks like the joke's on me
So call me Captain Backfire
I'm never speaking up again, it only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery than she desert me
Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now...
[cough] Well. That was strange. Accurate, but strange.
