Dear Diary,
Guess what! The grass is green! The sky is blue! I'M HYPER! I had Mum's famous pancakes for breakfast! With lots and lots of SUGAR! And lots and lots of HONEY and SYRUP! Sugar, syrup, honey, and pancakes make me HYPER! So I'm off to burn down! I'll write more later! BYE!
Love,

Dear Diary,
I'm normal now, don't worry-or well, I'm as normal as I can get now. I went outside and simply started running around like mad. Then I climbed every single tree in our backyard so now I'm covered in sap, bark, dirt, twigs, and leaves. Yippee. I'm off to take a shower now.
Love,

Dear Diary,
I noticed that my first entry was really, really, really, really, really long. And that all these are short. It looks horrible. Oh well…I'll probably write a long one tomorrow after I go shopping, and the day after that, when HARRY COMES! YEAH! Okay, I'm back. Hmm…I have a lot of time on my hands and nothing to do. I might end up writing a kinda long one right now…I can't wait to go shopping tomorrow. Just thinking of all those new wonderful clothes…hey, you can't expect me to be a complete tomboy forever you know. I'm allowed to go shopping and climb trees. I think I might get some of those below-the-knee broomstick skirts in white (or pink, or blue…), and maybe a ruffled plaid mini that's blue and yellow with a butter yellow top to match (and another one in rose pink), and of course I'm going to get some new jeans, dark ones, and an off the shoulder white sweater, and soft pink or yellow leg warmers. I don't know why, but I really want leg warmers. Okay, back to the shopping list…I want to get some striped long sleeved shirts, and some plain ones too, in blue, green, and coral, and a white turtleneck. I also want a few spaghetti-strap tee-shirts in green, turquoise, and coral (again), and I want tee-shirts in white, rose pink, mint green, mauve, soft blue, and coral (I'm obsessed). That concludes my list of 'I wants'. No, wait, I want a light blue cable knit sweater and a pink and a white one that go 'til my mid-thighs, a cable knit scarf in white, a brightly colored striped scarf, and I want nice earrings too. And a cold weather hat. And a black, cable knit (I do so love cable knit stuff) pea coat sweater thing. And nice, slinky high heels in black. And flats in all different colors. And I want warm, chenille, slipper-socks because my feet freeze in the hottest weather. And of course, I want a sweatshirt in…bright green, turquoise, or orange. Not Chudley Cannons orange, either-a feminine orange that's kind of pastel. Yeah. Now all I need to do is find out how much of this stuff I can afford, already have, how much stuff I can sew or knit by myself, and how much stuff I will just plain have to drop. Hopefully not much. So now, I will throw myself onto the task of actualizing my shopping list, and because of that, I will go now. Write later!
Love,
The Crazy Girl That Wants LOTS of Clothes,

Dear Diary,
After the extensive task of actualizing my shopping list, I have decided to drop all the cable knit stuff because Mum says that she can do all that easily before Christmas, as well as the chenille socks. Everything else, she says, if I can find it, buy it, and if anything else feels my fancy, I can get it too. HOW COOL IS THAT? And, Mum says that she will fully be my financial backer for the shopping spree. Her reason? "That when you grow out of these clothes I can simply enlarge them and patch them up for you to wear again." HAH! AS IF! She will enlarge them, yes, but if I threaten her with becoming a tomboy once more, Mum will royally freak out and offer to buy me another wardrobe. I've got blackmail…heeheeheeheeheee. So I fully intend to get everything else on my list, and to make my list actually look like a list, I will list my list in list form. Did you get any of that? I hope so. Anyway…
Shopping List
Three ruffled miniskirts, plaid, in rose, pink, and white and another in blue and yellow, and one plain in mauve or green.
Three broomstick skirts, in peachy-orange, white, and baby blue
One pair of dark jeans, boot-cut
Two off the shoulder sweaters, in white and teal
One pair of leg warmers, in light pink
Eight long-sleeved tees, five plain, in blue, coral, pale yellow, green, and just to spite anyone who says that red won't look good on me, one in BRIGHT CHERRY RED, and three patterned ones
Three turtlenecks, in white, soft purple, and mauve
Two spaghetti-strap shirts in mauve and deep portkey-blue (it's bright blue)
Seven tee-shirts, in butter yellow, teal, white, rose pink, deep blue, and mint green
Two sweatshirts in bright green and peachy-orange
Two pairs of capris, one beige, one denim
One beige short peacoat
And that is all.
OH MY GOD! I'm getting a whole new wardrobe! I've never had so many clothes in my life! Of course, I'll be keeping my old paint-spattered, grass stained jeans for my reckless endeavors (including pranking, painting, tree-climbing, Hogwarts-climbing, running…you get the point). They are very comfy and stuff. I'll be keeping some of my old shirts and stuff for the same purposes, and I'll be keeping all my robes too. They're in much better condition than my other clothes. I've got these beautiful deep blue one with silver fastenings that were a gift to me from Fred and George after they opened their joke shop. I couldn't believe it-they told me that it was about time I got something girlish! That utterly and completely shocked me. And you know what utterly and completely shocked me more! As they were walking away, George bent down and whispered to me to use these robes to "catch Harry before it's too late." OH MY FREAKING GOD! SINCE WHEN HAVE MY BROTHERS ENTANGLED THEMSELVES IN MY LOVE-LIFE! Have they been reading my diary? Ooooh, I'll catch them if they are…Not this diary of course, my previous diaries in which I scribbled down everything I knew and felt about Harry. That was in my innocent old days as a firstie…and a secondie, and on second thought, as a…what? Thirdie? Whatever. Anyway, those robes that Fred and George got me are absolutely wonderful. They are slightly off the shoulder, fitted at the bodice with (as I told you before) silver fastenings, and then they flow down like a skirt. Sigh. I especially like the sleeves, though. They're deep blue like the rest of the robes, and they are tightly fitted, but stretchy, and they go down to the middle of my hands. I don't know what's so special about them, but they attract my attention. Sigh again. And I've got a pair of dark green and gold ones also, Mum says that they bring out the gold flecks in my eyes and the bit of green in them too-but they're thick and heavy and warm, so they are for winter. They are like the ones from Fred and George, only with gold fastenings, a hood, and normal, straight sleeves. I love my dress robes… Oh, gotta go, Hermione's calling. Something to do about "killing Ron." Hmm…I wonder why?

P.S. Why did I call myself the nickname I hate the most? Some things I will never know…
Author's Note:
Okay, sorry about this last chapter, I was feeling weird and decided to make Ginny fashionable, and got kinda carried away. I was also struck by the need to go shopping myself, so that's why it's been unreasonably shallow. So anyway, remember to press that pretty little button in the bottom left hand corner that's screaming "REVIEW! REVIEW!" The next chapter will not be for a few days at least, I've got waaaay too much homework. Ta ta!
