Are you sure that's a real spell? Well, it's not very good is it?

... Erm. Has anyone seen Crookshanks? I think he might have gotten loose in the castle. Bollocks.

I was able to transfigure a shoe into a coat rack tonight. Now that is what I call a bloody win! Until it toppled over and nearly squashed Crookshanks, of course. He was well angry at me, but I think he's forgiven me by now. Possibly. Though I really need to find some bandaids for all these scratches. Val, sweetheart, do you know if there's some sort of spell for de-scratching?

Okay! After yesterday's little jaunt into Diagon Alley with Hermione's best mate Harry, I think I'm finally fully equipped to start getting my witch on! I've got Hogwarts: A History, Standard Book of Spells, a book on ancient runes, etc etc. And I've got Hermione's wand of course. And her time turner, but I'm a little afraid of that thing, I think I might hide it somewhere where it can't stare at me all day long... I think I'm set! Oh, and I found her copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard in my closet from when I first became a reincarnate so I've been giving that a read. Compelling stuff! Do you know what I find to be completely ridiculous? Unfogging the Future. I bought it just for a laugh (and to piss off Hermione) but the more I read it, the more I start to go a little mad. Honestly, advanced physics makes more sense. Who the bloody hell comes up with this shite? It's a bunch of bollocks! It's not science, it's lunacy, written by a bunch of bloody lunatics. An inner eye? I'm convinced whoever actually came up with all of this was stoned out of their bloody minds. Rant over.

Well. That was definitely the worst idea I've ever had in my entire life. Which, if you know me, is saying quite a lot. I thought maybe seeing it would help in getting over things. Somehow I thought facing it head on was better then avoiding it all together. Clearly I was wrong. I miss Harry and Ron. So much. Merlin, this is just. Awful.

Take that, gay hating tossers. We're not going anywhere, we're here to stay!

I found out earlier in the week that it's currently Banned Books Week in the States, so even though I'm not technically in the States, I thought I'd participate. Today is the last day actually, and I'm proud to say that since Sunday I've gone through... at least ten of them. Obviously it's impossible to read one hundred of the most commonly challenged and banned books in the States in just a week, especially with my own course work on top of it, but I do think for the short amount of time I had I put a sizable dent in them. I think I'll keep reading! Just, you know, because I can.

I also took on the task of specifically targeting some books that were banned here in the U.K, if not indefinitely then for a short time, for a bit of light reading as well. I highly recommend The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall! It was banned here in 1928 for its blatant lesbian themes, though thankfully it was republished in 1949. Smashing good story, 1984 by George Orwell is one of my favorites as well. While I'm yakking, I'll go ahead and recommend Ulysses by James Joyce for anyone that enjoys Greek themes of the more ancient variety, it was banned during the 1930's. Rights of Man by Thomas Paine is a fairly interesting read. It was banned in the U.K and the author charged with treason for supporting the French Revolution. Well, I only have one thing to say about that. Viva La Revolucion! Intolerant, book banning tossers.

I'm not sure exactly how to put this. But I've had a voice in my head for about a day and I'm not entirely convinced that I haven't gone completely mad? Somebody please prove me wrong. It's a bit unsettling. My care taker or whatever you call them was really nice, but this isn't exactly something you just get used to. At least not right away.

Anyway, she told me to log on here and introduce myself, that I'd meet other people like me. Whoever me is. Well I know who I am, but I'm not entirely convinced that having a fictional person in my head is at all normal. I'm familiar with the concept of reincarnation, but I can't say I ever bought into it. It's a bit vague! I was under the impression it only applied to real people, not fiction as well.

Oh, I'm Tabitha by the way. Tabitha Roberts. I guess she's Hermione Granger, though that's just a bit too weird for me. Is it just because I'm a Brit? Oh bloody hell, I am way too tired for this conversation.
