It's weird when so many things happen so quickly that it's hard to figure out where you stand. A muggle teacher beats a wizarding child for accidental magic. People debate whether it is the mugglness or the religion to blame. The parents break the statute and and attack the teacher. Another crime. The teacher and class get their memories wiped, the teacher never stands trial or punished for his crime.
Should magical parents send their children to muggle schools? Particularly religious ones?
Should the muggles know about us? Would making them better informed prevent the intolerance the muggles will definitely show towards us?
I don't know the answer. But I have something is going to have to change.

For years, I've chosen not to speak my mind on the journals. I keep my opinions to myself, played the part of the unbiased, politically neutral Ministry employee. But I'm sick of it. I have a right to speak, just like every other citizen in the magical world.
Do not imply that because the children that were killed by that werewolf were muggles, that their lives have no meaning. They were human beings, just like us. We are more like muggles than we are different from them. Do I think they are better than us? No, I don't. I'm sorry, Justin. But I believe they and their society hold value. And they do not deserve to have their children viciously murdered by a werewolf.

I love New Year's. I had such a great time in the city last night. It's funny how most nights I'd rather stay in and listen to the wireless, but on New Year's Eve I have no problem dressing up and going out on the town. There's just something so exciting about the whole thing.
I went to a party that my mum's business was catering at a restaurant in London. Afterward Alex and I headed down to the river to watch the fireworks. Of course, we stayed away from the crowds and hung out with...more familiar people. It's just safer that way. But we had an amazing time overall. Way better than staying at home.
As for resolutions, I'm still considering mine. All I know is that this year is going to be very different from last year.

So tonight is my cousin Sally's hen party. A standard pub crawl mixed with some dancing. Dear London: I hope you're ready for the antics of crazy witches wearing tiaras and feather boas! I'm actually looking forward to my fair share of pink drinks with little umbrellas in them.
Let the games begin!

Normally, I'm not into the whole "Holiday Season" thing. Christmas is a bit of a bummer really, especially when you're an only child and your parents are divorced. And now remarried. Overall, it's just a bunch of awkward meals and unwanted presents.
This year, it would be nice to have an enjoyable holiday for a change. To celebrate on my terms. But I guess that's a bit hard to do with everything that's going on.
Is anyone going to the Christmas tree lighting?

Today was a stressful today. I was about to write why, but then I realize I can't. My job really doesn't allow me to vent on a public forum. But trust me, it was exhausting. It looks like I'm going to be working late every night until I resolve the issue, which is annoying because I actually have plans for a change. I've decided to take a cooking class, but now I'm going to have to owl and see if I can switch into the weekend class.
It's called the Fundamentals of French Cooking and it's two hours a week for six weeks. The curriculum was designed by Amelia Kidds who used to have her own show on the wireless, so I think this course might be worth my money. If anyone else is interested, let me know. I'll send you the flyer.

So tonight at dinner, my mother asked me if I was bringing a date to her wedding. I told her I wasn't planning on it but it would be nice to have a distraction. I can't even believe it's only two weeks away. A three month engagement doesn't seem very long, but I guess with a second marriage there's no reason to wait.
I'm really not looking forward to going to work tomorrow. Things are just....peculiar.

Of all the people who could have been responsible, THOSE were the two they picked??
Give me a break.

I think people underestimate the power of a good night's sleep. Last night, instead of going out to the pub, I pulled an old lady stunt and stayed at home. I took a long bath, drank one glass of wine and read a book (By the way, the Surrogate is hard to put down once you start reading it). Anyway, I fell asleep around 10 and woke up this morning at 7. No alarm. I know what you're thinking - that's 9 hours - but it was worth it. I popped out of bed like one of those sun shiney happy morning people. It was fantastic. I still had coffee though, because I picked up flavoured creamer at the market at the other day and it's too good to resist.
I feel like someone else right now. I know I've always been a fan of sleep (anyone who knew me from school remembers that) but I don't think I was getting a good night of it.
I'm also highly suspicious of people who don't sleep. I date an insomniac once and I'm convinced he was a bit crazy as a result.

First they imply I'm incestuous then a lesbian.
Congratulations Witch Weekly. Once again you've manipulated words to suit your purposes.

The reporters at the Prophet must be working overtime this week. I'm glad I don't get the paper delivered. With all these Special Editions, I don't know where I would put them all.
I didn't know Morag all that well, but she never struck me as a cold hard killer. Unless it was death by corsetry. I'll never understand why modern witches would wear things like that.
Either way, I hope they at least checked some facts before they post something like that on the front page.

Is it possible to get a cold in the summer time? Because I've felt like crap all day.

I can't speak for my male friends who were also portrayed in this week's issue of WW, but I'm not the slightest bit offended by their opinion of me. There are far worse things they could have accused me of being.
I have a feeling that the next few weeks should be pretty calm at work. I've noticed than when all the other departments are busy, we finally get a chance to get caught up with paperwork because people don't have time to complain. Which is fine by me, since my filing bin is overflowing at the moment.
I'm craving something for spicy for dinner tonight. Any suggestions?
