1 Sad, Sad Story

I found my journal! It was exactly where I left it last summer - ripped into exactly 107 pieces and buried 20 feet below the swing set at a nearby playground. It knows what it did.I, however, have completely forgotten what that was ( Read more... )

Good to know you haven't changed much between getting rid of your old journal and getting a new one.

I've heard it argued that people only have personalities if they are observed or somehow documented by other people - or in this particular case, magical journals with some long-forgotten yet clearly unforgivable flaw. If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound?! The answer, of course, is OBVIOUSLY YES: a big THUNK. Or possibly a SCREE if it lands on a squirrel!

I'm pleased you disagree with that stupid logic. So pleased, I am willing to ask a non-hypothetical question! In fact, I'll throw in an extra because I like you so much! And here they are, you earned them: How is your summer going so far, and do you have any plans?

Gee, thanks for the questions, I'm really pleased and touched that I've earned them. I don't know how I lived life without them before now.

My summer's fine, and I have plans, thanks for asking, Specter. I suppose now I should ask the question back: How's your summer, and do you have plans? Anything artfully broken yet, other than your old journal?

I'm pleased to have shed some light on your day in this way, Zizes! But

My summer started off with complete and unending disappointment, but I've got so much to do that maybe it will keep my brain from going on and on and on about that frustration! But does coming up with a strategy like that mean that I am still thinking about what my brain is thinking about? DAMN!

Since Jones somehow managed to graduate, I've got my eye on the captain seat. Training is going well if the Bludger bruises on the boys in my gang are anything to go by!

Oh - and there's one other thing. But you'd have to convince me that you're a trustworthy scoundrel for me to let you in on it.

Sorry about the summer, that sucks. And I have no bloody idea what goes on in your head. You'll have to answer that yourself.

As for the Quidditch thing, you're crazy enough to probably make the captain thing work. But if there's more than the two of us going for Beater, you'd better keep working, because I'm going to be your competition.

I'm trustworthy. But I'm not dying to know your burning secret, so whether you think I'm trustworthy or not is up to you.

Ohhhh? There's nothing wrong with a little friendly competition! Competition means so many good things, like continuous improvement, exposure to different ideas, and CERTAINLY ABOVE THOSE INFINITELY LESSER THINGS, many more people to beat. May the best and most enthusiastic Beaters win!

It's not a secret! I don't keep those cowardly things! WEAR WHO YOU ARE ON YOUR SLEEVE! That said, if somebody I thought I trusted enough to tell ran to the ministry about it, I would be so, so sad. Selective information, that's the phrase to use here!

wrestlingwitch June 28 2011, 05:48:46 UTC

Here's to enthusiasm, then.

I can't exactly go running off to the Ministry right now. I'm at wrestling camp, and it would freak people out if I just suddenly sent a message away by owl.
