Things have been quite quiet lately and I can't help but wonder what is going to happen next. Unfortunately I'm terminally pessimistic. |

I'm no pickup artist, but it probably isn't a good idea to try to pick up a girl by showing her your tonsil stones, right?
I didn't even know what those were until today.
The human body never ceases to disgust amaze me. |

It's a little late to come up with a New Year's Resolution, but I think that I'm going to start trying to smile at everyone I meet. Not only will it help me feel better, but I think it will help them too. |

I truly hope that every affected by the recent event recovers quickly. It's such a shame that those horrible people are still around and causing so much hurt like that. |

Pregnancy yoga isn't a challenge, but I feel wonderfully stretched and relaxed anyway. |

I already started to decorate for Christmas. I'm so excited for the holiday specials on telly.
After the year I've had, I'm more than ready for Christmas cheer. |

Tripped over my cat and sprained my ankle. It's fun walking around the Menagerie on crutches, let me tell you. |

I'm seriously considering relocating. To:
a) the Muggle world. Which would be tough, considering I have no Muggle education beyond the age of eleven.
b) Canada.

I'm so over all of this bullshit. This Death Eater bullshit. I need to do something fun. |

It feels very good to finally be out of the hospital, and I'm actually very excited to be going back to work on Monday. I missed the animals, and I just want to get back to my normal life as soon as possible. On Saturday, I'm going to go to the Puddlemere and Wasps match with my co-worker. I decided that I want to get out more.
And I also think I might start doing volunteer work at St Mungos. I don't want to hide away for a year like I did the last time this happened. |

Not that I don't like listening to their problems, but I don't think my friends realize that hearing about their relationship issues makes me never want to have one myself, and even if I did, I'd refuse to call it that.
George and Audrey fought because Audrey slept with someone else, and Miles' best mate isn't talking to him because he has a 'steady'.
So I think that, if I ever have my own 'relationship' I won't: 1) call him my 'boyfriend', because clearly that complicates things too much, and 2) won't demand that he be faithful, only request it, because obviously that complicates things too much too.
He will be my 'special companion' and that'll be the end of it.
If that would ever even happen. That chances of anyone ever wanting to be my 'special companion' are really nil.
/private
I think I love animals so much because with them it's all black and white with almost absolutely no gray area. If you kick a dog he'll be mad at you and if you pet him he'll love you. There aren't very many surprises with them. A dog won't bite you if you scratch behind his ears. Well, not unless he's injured.
I've spent my entire day walking my dogs all around Stoke-on-Trent, listening to my music and generally enjoying my day off. It was very nice.
Humans confuse me too much. |

I'm not sure who else to ask about this... Um, should I still feel tingly? It's not like last night but there's definitely still a tingle.

private to Audrey;
Guess what? I had SEX last night and it was wonderful!
I still don't want to date him, though. Is that bad?

Life is very beautiful today. The only thing that could make it better is my iPod working in Diagon Alley. I feel like listening to the Backstreet Boys. |

I think I would like to take self-defense classes. I've been out and about more recently, so I think it would be good for me.
Classes of the magical variety, that is. I took Muggle self-defense classes already, when I was 15. |

There is a reason I don't like to drink much. That reason being that I always end up feeling like rubbish for the next two days. At least I had the weekend off.
I spent all of it in bed.
private to self;
I can't take muggle medications because of the potions I need to take. I should keep a hangover potion, just in case. I never want to drink like that again, though. Better safe than sorry.
I made a total fool of myself and I hope no one saw me. |

Did things get any better?
Yesterday, some bloke came up to me and told me that the Cannons are "shit" (I was wearing my Cannons shirt) and then invited me to a party on Friday.
Friday is also my birthday.
Do you think I should take that as a sign that I should go?
/private
On Friday, I'll be legally able to drink in America. However, I doubt I'll ever travel across the pond. And, even if I did go, I don't think I'd drink, anyway.
This has been a strange week. |

In our endeavors to recall to memory something long forgotten, we often find ourselves upon the very verge of remembrance, without being able, in the end, to remember. - Edgar Allen Poe
I went to therapy today for the first time in a few months. (One-on-one, not group. I rarely miss group) He told me that if I talk about it more, I'll feel better. I don't know if I really believe that.
Although, I started talking to my gramps about it and he put on episodes of "Keeping Up Appearances" he recorded years ago, and that gave me a laugh. |

Almost everyone is talking about sex, and it makes me feel a little left out because I don't have anything good to say on the matter. I had sex once, and I didn't like it, probably because I just did it to get it over with. I got tired of my cousin teasing me for being a 19 year old virgin, but thinking about it now I wish I were still a virgin.
I wonder if Audrey has anything good to say about sex? The problem with having only a dad and a gramps is that I can't talk about lady issues with them. I hate my mother for walking out on us when I was younger. I think she's the only person I'd ever call a slag. Only a slag would leave her family for a man across the country. If I ever have kids, I'd rather die than leave them.
Sometimes I wish I had more than just my animals.
I need to start making the tacos. I'm starving. |

A few days ago, one of the rabbits at the Menagerie gave birth to a litter of bunnies--three of them, all adorable and white. We had a bit of an accident today, and a cat ended up going after one of the little bunnies, ending it's poor little life. We tried to save it, but there was nothing we could do.
Also today, my dad operated on a stray dog that was hit by a car. He was hurt very badly, and one of his legs had to be amputated, but it seems like he's going to be alright. I decided that he should be named Lucky, and I'm going to take care of him until we can find someone who wants to adopt him.
Proof that magic can't solve every problem. And that even without magic, my dad's a better animal healer/veterinarian than I'll ever be. |

The match was a lot of fun on Saturday even though I went myself. I forgot how much fun Quidditch matches could be! I didn't really care who won (although I was probably rooting for the Cannons, since someone needs to root for them). I bought a Cannons shirt.
I really hope I can go to another match soon. I had more fun then I had in a long time. |

Alright, so...
My boss gave me two tickets to Cannons vs Tornados on Saturday. She was going to go herself, but that was before she found out that her granddaughter's birthday party is on that day, and she gave them to me saying that I do such a good job around the shop that I deserve a bonus and that I need to get out more and meet new people.
I haven't seen a Quidditch match since Hogwarts, so I'd really like to go. I don't want the other ticket to go to waste, though.
So...
Would anyone like to go with me? |
