Rissa is a Chaser ♥

So, I kind of hate this whole "back to school/waking up early". Actually, kind of doesn't cover it. I'd go with completely hate it, especially the waking up early part. I mean, why couldn't we just stay of break forever? It's not I wasn't learning things, in fact I learned a lot. Here are the top 5 things I discovered over break.

The Top 5 Things I, Clarissa Dinah Sloper, Discovered Over Break:

1. Cutting an apple with a butter knife, not as easy as it looks. On the bright side, when you stab yourself it doesn't hurt.

2. Trying to stand while riding a broom may sound like a good idea after a few things of firewhiskey, is not actually a good idea.

3. At a bar, if a guy asks if you want to see his broom, just say no...unless he's very cute or actually holding a broom.

4. While riding a unicycle looks easy, it really isn't and it is more likely that trying it will lead to a face plant.

5. Playing Quidditch inside the house may seem like a fun idea, but if mother comes home, the fun is replaced with yelling. Lots of yelling. Even if it was dad's idea and he's the only one that actually broke anything.

Can I just choose not to go back to school? I'm kind of enjoying lounging around in my pajamas until two in the afternoon and then spending the rest of the day flying around on my awesome new broom. And best of all, there is no homework. Okay so I have to deal with my mother lecturing me about every other hour, apparently she's been reading a book about how to "bond" with your child and apparently I am not fulfilling my duties, whatever that means.

Has anyone ever actually fulfilled their New Year's Resolutions before? Because I was thinking about writing some down, and then I was realized for the past few years I've wrote them down and then never actually went through with it. I mean I did succeed a few times, but that was more dumb luck than actually trying to do my resolutions.

So my mum sent me a dress as a birthday present over the weekend. Not what really was I was hoping for, she took all the fun out of my last minute running around, which I actually enjoy sometimes. Though I have to say, for once she didn't just go with what she would like and must have went "hmmm, what would Rissa wear?" because it's not too poofy or pink. Still short and still a dress, but at least it's a pretty one. See!

Of course I have a feeling this was a decoy present and that my parents are doing the whole "since your birthday is in December we're combining your gifts" sorta thing. But the implication my dad gave me was that there is something at home that is bigger than a bread box and I can ride it to play Quidditch on. And for some reason I doubt it's the pony I was always bugging them for.

So who is looking forward to Hogsmeade? Or should I say, who's looking forward getting insane amounts of sugar and doing stupid things.

I've decided this is the best weekend ever! Don't even try to argue otherwise.

Hufflepuff, I love you. That being said, you're going DOWN tomorrow.

All this talk of the upcoming dancing seems like over kill cause it's only going to get worse from here! Whatever happened to everyone waiting until the last minute with this like? Don't get me wrong, I think the dance sounds awesome, but all this planning is throwing off my plan of procrastinating until the last minute and hoping that it'll all come together just fine and dandy.

In other news someone left a book called "Lord of the Flies" in the common room. I stole it because it sounded gross and I was curious and didn't want to do my stupid DADA homework. It was actually pretty good and inspired this question: If you were stuck on an island with no magic, what is the three things you'd want with you (and you can't pick to bring a wand, cheaters!)?

Oh and if the book belongs to you, let me know so I can return it maybe.

Okay, let's play a game! I have a plate of cookies, homemade by my mum (who was clearly bored this weekend) and we're going to play a game called "WHAT WOULD YOU DO FOR A COOKIE!". So pretty much you tell me what you would do for a cookie and if it's good enough you'll get a cookie. If not then...well I'll most likely give you a cookie anyway for trying!

I had so much fun dressing up!!! Lola, you were so right about doing Audrey Hepburn, I'd like to think I pulled of the Breakfast at Tiffany's look very well. I hate that Halloween only comes once a year, I like having an excuse to dress up in costume. Do you think the professor would mind if I ditched my robes and just started wearing random costumes to class?

We should do the random kissing again too, that was fun at least I enjoyed it.

At least the Prophet representatives were at least a tad more interesting than the boring Ministry people. Though it could be because I decided to take a nap during a good portion of whatever the fuck they were going on about. Did I actually miss anything interesting? Cause I really doubt it.

Am I the only one who was bored out of their mind with the Ministry representatives? I can offically say I do not want a job with the Minisrty. I think I'll just stick with hoping for the Appleby Arrow's.

Also anyone got any good Halloween costume ideas I can steal?

Is all homework boring or just mine? I swear I actually fell asleep this afternoon doing my Transfiguration homework. And let me tell you, those tables in the library, they don't make good pillows. The worst part is I didn't even finish it. I figured once I woke up from my textbook face plant that it was a sign that I needed sugar and a high dose of it at that.

[Warded against Heads/Prefects]
Okay, so homework sucks and I figure I can put it off till Sunday night because seriously, who does homework on the weekend? Anyone got anything fun planned this weekend? If not, plans need to be made. I got a bottle of firewhiskey that says some fun need to happen or I'm going to be very disappointed.
