Dear Diary
Diary
Journal
Log
Star Date
You
Thing

Right, Okay, so this is my Diary and if you're reading it I want to know what the hell you think you're doing going through my underwear draw.

Right, with that out the road just to let you know that no, there's no imaginative curses surrounding this Diary - I really lack the necessary effort to bother with something so juvenile. Besides, if you're reading this and you haven't been searching through my underwear draw, then the chances are I left it out by accident or someone else that was rummaging through my underwear draw couldn't be bothered to put it back so serves me right. Oh well, who gives a crap?

This is my Diary and I doubt there's anything in it that will surprise you, if you know me that is. If you DO happen to come across my Diary, feel free to leave me little notes, pictures and then kindly return it. That would be muchly appreciated.

Right, so that's my introduction to this thing I call a Diary . . . though if you can think of another name for it I could use, let me know.

.kisses.

P.S. If anyone takes the Mick out of my middle name, I'll pound the crap outta ya, got it?

* you know you're my saving grace ,
Rain. Heaps and heaps of rain. It was just pouring down from the sky. But it was okay. I went out and played quidditch! I was a little chilly at first but after a warm up I was pretty hot and I bumped into * ella michelle thomas , who was already there playing with giant tennis balls. She seems all right I suppose. Always good to get to know people, especially ones in your own house.

a very private try out // ...
So this school year, I fancied trying out for the house Quidditch team. Laszlo Adrian Nott's the captain and well, he let me have a private try-out. I think I was a lot better than he was expecting because now I'm the official Slytherin Beater. One of them anyway.

what lurks in the dark
I was just going to send mum an letter so I headed on up to the library. I was planning on heading to the pub straight after, but I ran into a curious being. A Ravenclaw by the name of Cassian Siv Siedel he seems all right. Pretty suspicious and in my opinion, a bit paranoid. He probably has reason to be though, we all do.

Hallowe'en Party
What a night! Full of up's and down's but of course, I barley noticed because I was far too busy getting wasted! There were plenty of hot bar tenders to drool at though. Wooo! Party!

Remember Remember
Okay, no where near as relaxing as I hoped it would be. Instead I ended up punching Laszlo Adrian Nott's. Yeah, that's right, I punched the bastard for accusing me of being crap at Quidditch, there were a few others there too but honestly, who gives a crap about them? First we were okay, getting all close, then we get interrupted by some wanker and he starts insulting me. he'd better make it up to me over Christmas or i swear I'm going to have to start getting over him.

error to the mind
Today I made a new friend in the Great Hall, Wally-Monster! I'm not sure how to pronounce or spell his real name, but he goes by 'George' here. He seems like an awesome guy and I'm going to show him about sometime soon, maybe later today! Whoop!

dinner time frivolities
Dear sweet Merlin, there's no chance of a break is there? I've been avoiding Laszlo Adrian Nott's because he stood me up at a pure blood Christmas party. Sooo embarrassing, but now I just can't stand him, or well I can't stop thinking about him, it's that thin line between serious liking and pure hate. On the bright side Wally-Monster said hi and took my attention off Adrian, oh, and there were a couple of scuffles, but whatever, I asked Wally-Monster to the Valentine's Day Masquerade Ball next month as friends and he agreed, it'll get him out and about I thinks, hopefully he might make a few more friends!
