I spent

a very long time trying to think of a moderately appropriate title for this blogpost.

About 15 minutes.

That’s, what, 14 minutes longer than I should have?

But bear with me.

I want you to stop for a moment and just focus on this little bit, okay? Especially my fellow 7G Huisman graduates.

…

Today, I went shopping with a childhood (? xD) friend, one I haven’t seen for a while.

We went to Indigo, to HMV, and I got a few presents from her for my birthday. Yay! Thanks, Jules. Ever After and Waking Up are rocking on my CD player right now, and I just finished a book.

Never, ever, play the second half of Waking Up (the album, but just the song itself would do fine) by One Republic and read Tuesdays with Morrie at the same time if there is no purpose.

Listen to it and read with a purpose. Always listen and read it (or just read, really).

Know, acknowledge, and accept, embrace, even, that you are going to cry and your heart is going to be in little shredded smithereens by the time you get to page 76 or something and the music is on repeat.

(I had tears by page 44, by the way, because it was all “feck shiz I remember this ohgod no no no don’t no aghhhh my heart”.)

Someday soon, I just want to sit down with you guys on a nice, sunny Tuesday and just read this aloud. Never mind that you’re going to see me cry and fairly wail by the time we near the end, I just want to read it to you guys, with you guys.

I love you. There’s no time like the present.

/dieu, I lost my train of thought

Random Twinness

He held up the cube, a dusty white and slightly shiny little box about the size of a die. "It's a Sugar Bomb. It was supposed to give someone a sugar high and any spell performed Conjured white sugar, after they ate it." Said Fred.

"Instead, our lab rat exploded, and it took us a few weeks to get the blood and fur off the walls." Continued George, with a grimace on his face. "Never mind the huge mound of white sugar we found ourselves standing in. We tried for a while to recover our clothing, but it ended up being easier to Vanish, the sugar was so thin. But you know how dangerous it is to Vanish clothing from a live body."

"It was one of those things we invented and then wondered why about. We have plenty of other sweets that would have done the same."

The two younger blonds that sat at the table with the red heads nodded in agreement. Lorcan spoke first.

"We made a spell that we wondered why about, even though it is useful now."

"Yeah, I mean, when do you need a spell that removes all your clothing safely, except for your undergarments?" Lysander snorted, reminiscing when the Scamander twins tried it on each other.

"But obviously you two could have used it then." Lorcan concluded, a smile on his face, but then he frowned. "Or maybe you could use the one that removes all the clothing? We adjusted the spell after...well." A light pink blush began to spread, and the older blond twin matched him.

The Weasley twins, men now, laughed aloud. They didn't need to know what happened, imagination was enough.
