harry potter and the half-blood queen, dahling

"I'm his Head of House, and I shall decide how hard, or otherwise, to be."

So yeah, I'm reading Harry Potter and it's really quite good so far. Then again, I've always been partial to stories about magic. I'm gonna go cook breakfast and read some more of it before work. As chansondespoir said, it really is a great whimsical escape. Not that my life needs escaping, mind, but it is nice to slip into an entirely different world.

I have to confess: I really really wish I could go to a school of wizardry and witchcraft. And I'm not joking at all.

Haha, yep. Landmark Forum! And they're even explaining their jargon!

oh g-d.
