Maybe we should have had pancakes the other day when everybody was so hungry. We could have done loads and loads of good things with money from it.

Except I don't want to do anything.

Oh wow, me too!

Year: Um, it's 2005, but I'm writing it about last year.
Age: I'm 30. I think this means I'm old.
How was your birthday this year? It was fun! I went out with my friends and it was happy even if I turned old!
Make any new friends? I made TONNES! There are soooo many nice people on Euphoria Lane!
Lose any friends? Um...sometimes people go away forever and it's sad.
And how was the world of romance for you this year? I'm not getting married yet.
Occupation: Ooh! Just like last year! I'm the Welcome Witch and I teach at Atalanta's.
Residence: 239 Euphoria Lane with the nicest landlady ever!!!
Pets: I still have Mystee and she's still a bichon-frise poodle. And I have a dinosaur! Her name is Tinkerbella.
Get any taller? I'm 5'5" I think that's the same as last year.
Hairstyle for the year? I wore a lot of ponytails because it's easier when you teach exercise.
Best outfit of the year? My blue dress!
Major events of the year: I'm going to be a bridesmaid in Jeniyah and Mike's wedding!!!! Oh, and I helped with really cool pancake breakfasts
What did you do for New Year's? I went to Kelly's. And then I gave hot cocoa to some person who ran starkers.
What did you do for Valentine's Day? I fell in love and almost got married but then he decided he didn't want to marry me anymore and I was sad.
What did you do for St. Patrick's Day? I wore lots of green!
What did you do for Easter? I went home and saw my family!
Where did you go on Summer Vacation? Um, I really didn't go any place except for home where the circus was.
What did you dress as for Halloween? A pretty butterfly!
What did you get for Christmas? Lots of things!
What are your plans for this New Year? I went out again.
Who are you going to kiss at midnight? I think he said his name was Jason.
How do you want the new year to be different from this one? I think I want to fall in love because I think I'm getting too old. And I want less sad things to happen to people.
How do you want the new year to be the same as this one? I liked everything else.

There were other questions last year that no one did this year. So, I'm going to make up some new ones!

What colour is your bedroom? I live in a studio and it's sort of creamy white since I'm not allowed to paint it but I have pretty coloured things on the walls.
What is your middle name? Quinn!
What is your favourite thing about Euphoria Lane? I like all the nice people who live here!
Do you like Margoth? YES!

That was fun.

I'm at the circus today! I saw my mom and dad and Karina and Tanya and I saw Max once, but it was only for a tiny minute and I didn't say anything to him but I don't want to write about that because it's sad and everyone should be happy now because it's ALMOST CHRISTMAS!!

I told them at St Mungo's I want to work on Christmas so I can do circus tricks for the sick people who can't go home because they should have a Happy Christmas too and I wanted to work tomorrow too, but I also wanted to spend a little bit of Christmas with my family because I love my family!

I don't understand why there's an h in Christmas. I know that's how you spell it, but you don't hear it when you say it. But that's okay because I still love it anyway even if it's spelled funny.

OH WOW!!!!!!!!!!

Harry and Wendy I'm going to buy you a present today! Something pretty!! And hot cocoa with marshmellows, too!

Happy Harry Potter Day everybody! I can't believe it's been four whole years since the war is over which means for years since I stopped almost being married but I think it's a good thing when we're in peace and happy.

But!!! I'm really excited for Jeniyah and Mike's wedding!! We're going to have blue bridesmaid dresses and they'll look good on me and Julissa and Sally and Elizabeth and we have a few ideas but we have to wait for Elizabeth to come home from Hogwarts to decide between them but I like them all and I think we're going to look so pretty and it will be the nicest wedding ever!!!

Oh! And I didn't mean it when I said I was quitting my jobs! I don't know what was wrong with me but I was thinking really strange things.

I've been really really restless today. I feel like I'm stuck in a rut, you know. Why am I stuck in this rut? I'm thirty and I should be seeing everything life has to offer instead of doing the same thing every day.

Liz, I think I'm quitting at Atalanta's.

I told them I was quitting at St Mungo's, too, except I'm not sure they believed me, but they'll believe me tomorrow when I'm not there.

I guess I need to think of something else to do, don't I?

I like the biscuit lady. Biscuits are really good except they look kind of silly, don't they? Well not them but the word like I want to spell it biskit because that's how it looks but my spellcheck quill said that was wrong it tells me that marshmellow is wrong, too, but I don't think it's right because that one is spelled like it sounds.

Everybody's talking lots today! Well, maybe not everybody but there are a lot of people and they're all asking them why they're talking more than they normally do and saying stuff they don't want to but I think it's a good thing because my Margoth people would say it's good to let out all your feelings so the cleaning fires can come for you! But they seem to think it's bad and that it doesn't feel right but I don't know because I feel just fine today!

I think I want to take a bubble bath. I like bubble baths.

!!!!!!

I am SO sorry if you didn't like our waffles!!! I don't know what went wrong!!!

I'm really really really really sad today.

I carved my pumpkin!!!

( See??? )

I love Halloween!!!!

Oh WOW!!!! So Jeniyah found her wedding dress and she showed it to me and it's so so so so so pretty and so I looked in the catta catel cattalogg book that has all the pictures in it so I could cut it out and show you!

( Wedding dress )

But that's not Jeniyah in the picture, it's just the person that wears the dress and they take the picture so everyone can see what it looks like.

OH! I have a picture of my Halloween costume too!!!

( Halloween costume )

Oh! That's not me either. That's another person in the book of pictures. I am sooooo excited about it, though, because my wings are fun and I hope everyone likes them when I help at the library party!

I think I'm going to go home and see my mom and dad and Rina and Tanya because I haven't seen them in a long time because after I teach my classes on weekends I've been helping my Margoth cult friends do nice things for people. And I like doing nice things for people! But, I think I want to see my family, too. I have to write them and find out where they are right now.

I think I'm going to be a butterfly for Halloween. Because I like butterflies and they're happy and pretty! And I think I want to be pretty and not scary for Halloween.

What's everyone else going to be?

Sometimes it's hard to be happy.

It makes me so happy that my Margoth friends are going to do nice things for people who need help because if everybody helped people that needed help than nobody would need help anymore except a little bit sometimes but they wouldn't be poor and not have food and clothes and stuff.

And!!! We're going to have another pancake breakfast, but I'm not going to cook because there are other Margoth people that cook so much better than me but I can serve pancakes because I'm good at that and wear their pretty clothes.

I hope you're all happy too!!!

I am happy today!

That was a sad story about dementors. I don't think I like dementors very much. They're a little bit mean and they shouldn't attack people because that's not nice!

Maybe if they got Margoth the Destroyer's cleaning fire they would be nicer.

I know! Let's tell happy stories!!!

I'm confused.

Is that lady really Margoth the Destroyer??? Where was the cleaning fire???

PANCAKE BREAKFAST!!!!!!

I'm so excited!!!!!!

Oh wow! I met the nicest people on my way to work this morning! They were dressed all pretty and they told me all about this person named Margoth! And!!! They're having a pancake breakfast and I love pancakes so I bought a ticket and I was a little bit worried because they said Margoth destroyed things, but I guess it's with cleaning fire to make things nice and happy so I think that's okay. I think Margoth should come to the Lane because there are some people here who are a little bit cranky and maybe his fire would make them happy and peaceful.

They're by the Black Cat and you guys all should go talk to them! They're super nice!!!

Guess what?????

My best friend ever that's not my sister is getting MARRIED! To Mike Perks and they've been dating a long time and I'm so so so so so so so glad for them and aren't they just so cute together???

( spellotaped image )

AND!!!! She asked me today if I would be a bridesmaid when they get married next year and I'm so excited!! She was going to be one of my bridesmaids when I almost got married, but now it'll be my turn and I'm just so happy and happy is good and we won't talk about sad or bad things!!!!
