My dormitory.
I don't know what Angie was thinking when she said that if I didn't find someway to keep all my thoughts down then my head would explode into a million jagged little brain shards. Okay, maybe she didn't say those words exactly but you get the main gist. I mean, she makes me seem like some psycho, rambling, hyperactive freak!
Okay, so maybe I do get her point, but just a little bit. A little itty bitty bit. I really do just have a lot going on in my head, and it's hard to express it all calmly, so it pretty much just comes out in spurts when I get excited. Fred normally pats me on the back like I'm choking and I start again, slower. Did I say pat? I mean beat.
Who is Fred, your probably asking right about now. Well he's the twin to Gorgeous Weasley. Did I say Gorgeous? I mean Georgeus. I mean George, damnit! George has been the apple of my eye for four years. Now I bet you think I'm some sniveling flunky, right? Who just follows him around, waiting to get my hands on a dirty tissue or something. Well I'm not. George is actually one of four of my best guy friends in the world. (His brother, Lee Jordan and Oliver Wood are the other three.) I've known the boy since I was in diapers. Sadly, that's the only undergarment I've ever seen him in. (Excluding the incident where he thought I was his sister and mooned me. ) Let's move on, we'll come back to George many times, I assure you.
At first I was very skeptical about the idea of a journal. (I refuse to call you a diary.) I mean, anyone could pick it up and read my innermost, deepest thoughts. But when I shared my concerns with Mione', (Hermione Granger, part time best friend, part time shrink.) she told me that she would be happy to put her best privacy spells on you.
That leads me to now. She put a snazzy charm on it so that if anyone touches it without my fingerprints, it becomes like a porcupine and snaps shut. If someone were to get past the razor sharp spikes and actually opened it, they'd discover a special message from me.
Get away from my damn journal, you good for nothing snoop. And you call yourself my friend! Humph! Are you still looking at this? I SAID GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY DIARY!
Sincerely,
Alicia Spinnet
Oh rats, I forgot to tell you who Angie was. You know, the girl who gave me this whole idea. Her full name is Angelina Brianna Johnson. She is one of my few girl friends and dates Fred, and has been since fourth year. Angie's definitely a sight. I'd say she was the prettiest out of my girl friends. Tall, (around 5'9) a caramel color skin tone, lean, naturally beautiful curly hair, and almost blackish eyes, she grabs most of the male attention between me and her. Angie is the most levelheaded person I have ever met. She keeps me and occasionally Katie in line and from doing irrational things. (Which is almost every day.)
While I'm doing introductions, I should just go ahead and mention the last two remaining girl friends. Yes, I know, I have a pitifully small amount of female chums. I have no idea why, but any other girls, (Apart from Ginny who is too young to hang out with us.) get on my everlasting nerve. The cattiness combined with the egotistical attitude just turn me off of ever trying to become friends with any of them besides my own.
But back to my friends.
The next one is Katie Melanie Bell. She's a year younger than Angelina and I, but I can tell you for a fact that you would never even guess her age. Katie has always been taller than me. (Which you'll find out soon is no great feat.) She probably comes in at about 5'6 or 5'7 and she has had more luck in the boob/butt department. With her dark blonde hair and sea green eyes, she's captured the attention of any guy that wasn't too intimidated to come closer. Are you wondering why anybody would be afraid to come with in five feet of my gorgeous best friend? Well the reason is her mouth. She is the wittiest and most hilarious girl I know and her motto has always been, and will always be, "I, Katie Melanie Bell, am always right. So deal with it or back off." Yeah, she's a little bit of a know it all, but for the record, most of the time she is right. Don't be fooled though, Katie is just as silly and sometimes carefree as I can get. (And THAT says a lot.)
As you'll notice in a few minutes, my lot is total opposites. I guess that's why we work. And my god we work, like puzzle pieces I tell you!
My last favorite female (corny, I know. but I'm tired of saying girl friend.) is Hermione Jane Granger. The brainiest of us all by far, Hermione is always there for our homework problems. That's not all she's used for though; the intelligence factor is only a little bit of her package. Hermione never really hangs out with our group considering that she is best friends with Ron and Harry and they are fighting evil on an everyday basis. That doesn't stop her from becoming equally as close to Angelina and Katie and me. She's two years younger than us, but I can guarantee you that she is above my maturity level. Again, there's the opposite aspect which works wonders. Hermione isn't pretty in an obvious way like Angelina and Katie. She doesn't stick out of the crowd with her wavy brown hair, and brown eyes. She's a small girl, around my height. (5'4, 5'5ish) I'll tell you though, once you get to know her, everything changes. She evolves from this quiet bookworm to an optimistically loud girl. You begin to notice that her eyes aren't brown, they're the darkest shade of tan, almost coffee. Then you'll notice her hair, which has turned into a light brown with dark streaks. And then you'll notice that her eyelashes are so incredibly long, that she would never even think of adding mascara to them, even if she knew what mascara was. She has then become the most beautiful person you've ever seen, inside and out.
Hold on, there's someone knocking on my door. I'll be back in a sec.
5:06
Katie's at my door. She says that we're all going to dinner and that if I don't get my non existent rear end downstairs in five minutes then they're leaving me to fend for myself against Giles Kilburn. (Her words, not mine.)
I'll take two minutes to explain who Giles Kilburn is. He's a six foot mass of a boy and he's been after me since second year. I've gotten used to his antics and just brush him off now. Don't let his chubby, innocent face fool you. He's all trouble. But he's become a joke between my friends, a way of threatening me. It's 5:07, it looks like he only needed a minute of introductory.
Well diary, what do I do for a whole four minutes? I know, I'll make a to-do list. I'll really follow it. It'll be a way of life, a way of getting what I want, on my terms. Okay, I'm wasting minutes.
Alicia's to-do List (To be completed by Graduation.)
1- Lose 10 pounds. (Therefore going down to a size five hopefullyyy?)
2- Get rid of freckles. (Too many!)
3- Get George Weasley to realize that I'm the only one for him.
4- Get O's on my N.E.W.T's

8- Become a more mysterious person. (As to attract George.)
9-Become less of a klutz.

Woops! It looks like I've gone a minute over board. If they left me with Giles, I'll hex them all!
Always,
