Pumpkin Juice- February 22nd
These part couple days have been unfortunate and not yielding answers. Yesterday was of course our dismal Quidditch match, a loss so horrific I cannot begin to attempt description. I think it shall suffice to say I was near tears at the end of our practice on Valentine's Day, and yesterday's match made me want to do nothing but that. Might it have something to do with the fact that we lost by ten agonizing points, our Keeper missed fourteen goals, one beater hit me in the mouth with his bat, and the other screamed and fell off his broom as someone flew at him? Mmm…probably.
As for today…well, one good thing was the Harry's given an interview about last June and Voldemort, albeit in the Quibbler. The Toad's Brilliant Retaliation: Educational Decree Number Twenty Somethingortheother, banning The Quibbler. Funny really; I've never seen so many people reading it as I did after the Decree was made.
Anyway, the day before yesterday started out perfectly normal, but I think all abnormal days do. Except for the ones in those big movies, Anna took me to one over break and the hero was all freaked out upon waking up. But he ended up killing people, and I didn't. So maybe it will only be a weird day when I kill somebody, which at the rate things are going is becoming more and more likely to happen.
My previously wonderful and sweet and caring boyfriend Andrew…broke up with me. Randomly. I mean, we were all happy yesterday and then he pulls me aside today all nervous and rubbish. Would've been cute, really, if I hadn't been growing more and more confused and annoyed with each passing second.
It went like this;
"Angelina, I need to tell you something."
"Okay."
Then he started stuttering and mumbling. At least he isn't a coward though, cowards break up over owl, or keep stuttering and mumbling throughout until they've got no choice but to break up over owl. Nope, Andrew did it in person.
"I can't date you any more Angelina. And…I can't tell you why either. I'm sorry, I really didn't want to do this, and I hope we truly can remain friends."
Yes, that's right adoring diary. He broke up with me. And then wants to be friends. Who the heck wants to be friends after breaking up with a girl you could hardly work up the courage to ask out in the first place? And I mean, it was loads of fun while we were dating, for those few months. I didn't even bother to write in here because I didn't have many problems. Besides Fred.
So I guess Rimmer and I are just friends now.
True, it isn't overly upsetting. I mean, I really enjoyed hanging out with him but it wasn't anything that would have a hard time adjusting to platonic. It seems like it won't be that big of a change. And he's really sincere about it to, so we are going to hang out as part of a group in a while. I wrote home to inform Anna and Arianna, and between the two of them it will get around my house no problem.
In other startling news, Fred broke up with Feather-Headed Princess of the Pink, Fuzzy and Ignorant Realm. That's great and all since we won't be seeing much more of her, but I think it is a bit to much of a coincidence that it happened right as Rimmer was breaking up with me…
Greetings, O Reviewers. It's been ridiculously long.Agreed So sorry. So so sorry. And sorry this chapter's short, and that it may be equal wait for the next (school, life…DRIVER'S ED!), but…eurgh. And I won't be writing during November, since I'm doing NaNoWriMo (google it to find the website) which I recommend you all check out.
Thanks to Proma, a good portion of this chapter is actually hers. I haven't really been in the mood, and I wrote my short part of this well I was fairly upset.
Enough of that depressing junk, EIGHTEEN DAYS 'TIL GOBLET OF FIRE! I'm not even going to try using as many exclamation points as I need because I just don't have three hours to spare. Its okay, we can get through that disappointment.
Congratulations to the winners of our challenge: Dark Hermit Kaelin, Moonbugg, Angelface04, The Miss Marauders (who won through a double negative!), and Flagstonejester!
And now, patient fans, we shall address thee individually:
Nikki- Glad you like Fred and George with Base; it was LOADS of fun to write! Sorry the update took so long, but…eurgh. Shes basically said it all, I hope you like this one as well!
The Mysterious M- Reading our fic at work…I am brimming with pride. As am I, very impressive. Granted, I don't know what kind of work would require you to write fanfiction, but still. Teehee the wigs. It is my hope and prayer that Steph never really finds out about those, that sounded odd considering you control the information flow to her…glad to hear we're 'amazing'. Can never hear that one to much. So many things are, and how great to be counted among them? Sorry you didn't get the challenge right, but don't worry, we love you too much to deprive you of future opportunities. Yes, my condolences as well.
Angelface04- You have no idea how thrilled I was to hear I'd done Base that much justice! I understand how our replies can be confusing, and to quote Hagrid from the first movie…"Sorry about that." Hoopla is a word…I'm pretty sure anyway. ACK! We have something serious to address here: "18 pages? good golly tev, why!" Tev? Tev? TEV? Calm down, I'm here. No darling, it is Proma that writes Fred; Tev writes Angelina. It saddens me that you didn't know, I'm ashamed.:shakes head sadly: You did get the challenge right, though, so yay! Good work! Ah, Fred, he's impossible to not love. Somehow I don't think Steph will feel that way much longer…
Funny cide- Wicked is the best word. No, cliché and naïve are cooler words. Thanks for using it to describe us. Yes, thank you very much. Same with "Rock on" I don't think we've ever been told that before. is too lazy to check
Chocolate milk- I guess your wish was granted. Whee! We, the magical writing genies are proud to have successfully reached another success story.
Dark Hermit Kaelin- I saw a Jasper Fforde book recently in a store and I was all "DARK HERMIT KAELIN TALKED ABOUT THAT!" And how did the bookstore manager feel about that? Well, I wasn't really yelling it throughout the store but, well…eurgh. Awesome books, his website is cool too, have you checked it out yet? Yeah, Base was quote a random and spontaneous character, but in the twins' lives she'll be quite important (hypothetically since we don't really know that she exists in the Potterverse, but her existence is quite feasible and her important would make sense) I don't know, she might even make a second appearance. You were right about the bonuses…congrats! Good job! And there are worse people to sit next to then Joey and Derek…
ShanniC- Glad you like us, and please don't hesitate to review! We really appreciate it! In case it hasn't been made clear up to this point, WE LOVE REVIEWS! So very very very very very much.
Silverpensieve- Gladja like. Thanks for reviewing!
Moonbugg- Thanks and congrats on the challenge! Hope your having fun at the university, my sisters moved into their dorm rooms relatively recently as well.
The Miss Marauders (though you'll always be Jersey Princess to us, Caz)- I'm so glad we decided to nag you over email! Thank goodness! It's great to have you back! You don't even know how great. As for chapters five and seven…no idea what we're going to do as of yet, but something will happen. Hopefully. It's quite funny, no one else notices that but you which is a bit frightening. Michael and Alexandra are random friends and correspondents of Andrew and Stephanie (correction, Micheal is Andrew's father); Diana probably heard this all firsthand from the source. Now, you were something of a debatable topic on this whole challenge, thing but we decided to say you got it right. After much philosophical discussion over whether math terms applied to English. See, you said Andrew was written by the writer of Fred and Stephanie was written by the writer of Ang. That's wrong. So very wrong, I thought it would have been easy. BUT, you apparently thought (and shame on you :shakes head sadly again: This is quite dissapointing) that I write Angelina and Tev writes Fred. That is a scary though! Eek! That too is wrong. We decided that in this case two wrongs makes a right, since by some mathematical property or another you thought Tev wrote Andrew and I wrote Steph, which is correct. And we've probably lost you by now…I know that was probably kind of confusing, but the bottom line is that you got the challenge right, and I'M FRED! I'm Angelina, but don't feel the need to say it in all caps. Don't feel bad for Steph, she's too stupid to feel much emotion. Teehee. Oh, and your comment that the story made you so moved you cried, that basically completed my life. I love you.
Flagstonejester- You're back! Throws confetti And it's good to have you. Sorry about HP and Me, I've been hating it lately, but at least this is being updated! Finally. Don't give up on it Proma, you can do it, yes you can! Also sorry you got hit over the head with a tennis racket…that's no fun. Or is it? You got the challenge right! Good job!
