breakmods [Tuesday September 27th, at 5:30pm] Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today. And nothing lasts forever, but be honest, babe. It hurts but it may be the only way.( Read more... ) post comment

024; 25 March 1979 [Friday March 25th, at 1:02am] This afternoon, I saw a rainbow. And then I looked closely and there were TWO rainbows. I couldn't believe it. They were so bright and they went all the way across the sky. I've never seen anything like it. I think it must mean something but what could it possibly mean? A double rainbow all the way across the sky? It has to mean SOMETHING. 15 comments|post comment

023; 14 March 1979 [Monday March 14th, at 2:39pm] When I start feeling too anxious or stressed out about things, I remember what my father told me once about meditation. It's a really good way to relax and stop, even if it's just for a few minutes at a time, and reset your karmic energy. Of course, karma's not that simple, but meditation can help! And when it seems everyone is a bit overworked and having a stressful time of it, I've only got one thing to say! We all need to stop and take some deep breaths. The world is too amazing to be miserable in it every day and it's too amazing to try to destroy it. I know problems are still problems, no matter whose problems they are, but sometimes things can seem less problematic when we take the time to calm down before we even think about how to handle them. WARDED TO CARADOC DEARBORN. I'm taking you out for a drink on your birthday and you're going to like it! You still owe me that drink from New Year's anyway! 3 comments|post comment

022; 07 March 1979 [Monday March 7th, at 9:14pm] WARDED TO COMMUNITES, BRISCO ABERCROMBIE AND CARADOC DEARBORN. Do you prefer a bloke who comes on strong over a bloke who's shy or subtle or doesn't say anything at all? WARDED TO DELFINA BAGMAN. I just wanted to say I'm sorry about the way I acted on Valentine's Day. I wasn't feeling like myself and I'm just not usually so strange. Or forward. I guess some people would say I'm a bit strange. But not usually that strange. And I don't think I'm all that strange either, really. Maybe a bit but not a big bit. Anyway, I'm sorry. 81 comments|post comment

021; 30 January 1979 [Sunday January 30th, at 7:45pm] Every time I start feeling down about the world, I just remember I have the best mates anyone could ever ask for and then things don't seem quite as bad any more. This time last year, I was really deeply, madly in love with a girl who worked at a cafe near my dad's shop. Valentine's Day is going to be a bit weird this year, considering, but at least I have my mates! WARDED TO CARADOC DEARBORN. Did you enjoy the brownies? I made some for Brisco today, too, and I think they came out really well. And did you like the poem? I put a lot of thought into it, so I hope you did! 38 comments|post comment

020; 22 January 1979 [Saturday January 22nd, at 10:49am] Life is BRILLIANT! WARDED TO BRISCO ABERCROMBIE, APRIL FROBISHER, WENDY AND CECIL HOOPER. You're never going to believe what happened yesterday. Caradoc Dearborn called me his friend. HIS FRIEND! FRIEND! We're FRIENDS! 20 comments|post comment

019; 17 January 1979 [Monday January 17th, at 1:04pm] I feel like a bit of a broken record sometimes but I must just be one nobody's listening to because people are still hurting each other and it's beyond terrible. We've just started a brand new year and now would be a good time for everyone to try to be positive instead of spending another year at odds. We did that last year and it was a major downer and I think a lot of us could probably use the balance in our karma before anything REALLY bad happens. I could tell say we're all nature's children and we should get along or that the more we force imbalance in the country and in ourselves, the worse things are going to be but I think everyone already knows that. I don't know what to do to make a difference any more but I don't like feeling bad or being angry about it. Neither one of those is really helping anything and generally, people don't seem to care. So instead of begging or pleading or trying to reason with anyone, I'll just say this: what goes around, comes around and I'm really worried about some of you. 4 comments|post comment

018; 07 January 1979 [Friday January 7th, at 1:25am] WARDED TO GRETA CATCHLOVE AND DAVY GUDGEON. Can I ask you two for a favour? I'm not sure if I'm even supposed to be doing this because the DMLE is in lock-down right now but I made a really big mistake and you're my only hope. Some one sent Caradoc some cream puffs and Brisco and I ate them all and he only got to eat one. And he's a really good friend of mine so I feel really awful about it and I'm pretty sure that's a lot of bad karma over some cream puffs and I need to make it right before something AWFUL happens. So, do you think you could send some cream puffs addressed to him from me up from the cafeteria to the department when you get a chance? Or if not cream puffs, something equally delicious? I'll pay for them as soon as they let us out of here but it would mean a lot to me and probably to Caradoc, too. And it would even be really good for your karma, I bet! 6 comments|post comment

016; 27 December 1978 [Monday December 27th, at 7:24pm] WARDED TO IONA RIDGEBIT. I'm sorry to bother you and I promise I won't make a habit of this if Mr Crouch decides not to sack or suspend me but I was wondering if there's any way I can get out of training with Auror Moody. I'd rather train with you or with one of the other hitwizards. Aurors know things I don't and he's going to be mean. I can tell. Even though you and Mr Crouch already talked to me about the Christmas party, he's talking to me now, too. With all due respect, I know he's a great Auror but he's not my superior and I know I should be able to tough it out and try to look at it like something I need to do and it's not that I don't want to but he makes me uncomfortable, ma'am. And I'm afraid he might try to hurt me. 3 comments|post comment

015; 22 December 1978 [Wednesday December 22nd, at 5:49pm] Healer Davies and Nurse Tonks healed my broken heart last night and I feel a lot better this morning. I feel a little silly for getting so upset about all of it, too. But in the end I'm just glad to be alive and I'm glad that Mr Yaxley smiled at me. Junia said something very interesting to me about waiting for love to find me instead of looking for love. And maybe I'll start doing that instead since the other way isn't working very well. But it's going to be hard to go without love for very long because love means everything. It's like every feeling in the world combined. It's the ultimate feeling. 119 comments|post comment

013; 20 December 1978 [Monday December 20th, at 4:45pm] All I want for Christmas is peace, love and everyone's best effort to be nice to each other. That would be brilliant. 58 comments|post comment

011; 01 December 1978 [Wednesday December 1st, at 12:31pm] What do people usually look for when they're searching for a flat? I know I don't think very practically about these things because the energy of a place is so important. That's why I've always really liked my grandparents' house because the energy there is so good. It's not as good in certain places. If you pay enough attention, you can really feel it one way or the other. I think it would be the worst to find a place that fit everything else but had bad energy. I guess it's sort of like Divination a little but I don't think you can foresee things based on a place's energy specifically. But you can see how you're going to feel when you're there. But besides the energy part, there's probably more I should be looking for, right? 48 comments|post comment

010; 16 November 1978 [Tuesday November 16th, at 6:52pm] Thanks to everyone who came to the rally this weekend. I think it went really well but I was hoping the message would have made more of an impact on everyone, especially this week. I'm really sad that people have been threatening each other and getting ill and saying awful things. That's not peaceful, man. That's the opposite of peaceful. We should think of each other as brothers and sisters. Some people think we're descended from the same original mum and dad and maybe they're right, but that means we're all related in some way and we shouldn't be so mean to our relatives. Even if we're not related, we all share the same earth and that means nature binds us together. We're all the same where it counts. If you think about it, the whole world is really magical. The way things happen and what we do, like when some one is nice to some one else or when a flower blooms or the waves move or any other thing we take for granted -- those are all magical in their own way. I like to think the forces of the universe work the same way magic from our wand works. So that means everyone, even Muggles, spend their whole lives in a magical world. Life is magic and it's beautiful and there's really no time or room for hatred or negativity. Sure, I know it has to happen to keep things balanced but it doesn't have to happen to us. We're all children of nature and the universe and all the forces that magically combined to bring us into existence! We just have to love each other a little more, man. 18 comments|post comment

009; 13 November 1978 [Saturday November 13th, at 9:36pm] WARDED TO BRISCO ABERCROMBIE, APRIL FROBISHER, WEDNESDAY HOOPER AND KENNILWORTHY WHISP. I think I've done something terrible. And right before the peace rally, too. Karma's going to get me for this, I'm sure. My aura feels even more ill than Brisco looks. 8 comments|post comment

008; 12 November 1978 [Friday November 12th, at 1:39pm] If you've got eyes, you've probably seen the signs around but Wednesday and I've put together a rally for this Sunday. We're going to get everyone together and organised by noon at the Three Broomsticks. Then, we'll march on the village. We'll have hitwizard Mackenzie MacDonald to make a speech and Marlie and the Manticores will be playing for us. You can bring signs or make up chants and things. It's going to be a lot of fun. And of course, the whole point of this is peace. The world is really depressing when everyone's at war with each other, even if it's just over little things. There's been too much negativity lately and I think even people who haven't been affected much by it would probably agree. We all need to show we can work together and that we all want peace and positivity. Even I can admit I need to practise thinking positively and good vibes from a peace rally is exactly what I and I think everyone else needs. The more people who come, the better. We can all show whoever our new Minister is what's really important to us. 16 comments|post comment

007; 11 November 1978 [Thursday November 11th, at 3:37pm] WARDED BRISCO ABERCROMBIE AND APRIL FROBISHER. You have eyes like sparkling diamonds. Your hair is like fresh ink on parchment when the sun shines on it just right. I know you are different than the rest because you are the very best. You make my heart beat really fast when I see you walking past. Sometimes I think I'd better sit down. And I know you are different because you are beautiful like stars at night. And I love you but you don't know I exist. She has a boyfriend. 14 comments|post comment

006; 01 November 1978 [Monday November 1st, at 7:21pm] As much as I like being a hitwizard, I think it would be nice if there weren't any need for them or for Aurors. It's one of those jobs where I'm glad I can do something to help but it makes me sad that there are situations where we have to help because people do bad things. For one thing, between the hags last week and the thing in Hogsmeade yesterday, I hope everyone's kids are safe and I'll send positive vibes to anyone who wasn't so lucky. Not that I think luck means much, but it's one of those phrases that seems appropriate. WARDED TO WEDNESDAY HOOPER. I think now's a really good time to start planning for our rally. The sooner we can get it organised, the sooner it can happen and I really hope a lot of people come. Having it this weekend might be cutting things a little close, but maybe the weekend after? We could have a march in Hogsmeade or Tinworth, since they're both places that could really use some peace right about now. Should we make flyers or signs or something? Maybe some one from the paper would write something about it for us if we asked real nice. I bet loads of people would come if it was in the paper. 12 comments|post comment
