Day off today, so I could go with my mum to drop my sister off on her first day at her new school. Twas very weird, because it was ages since I'd been in there (I used to go there till I was eleven) and it was that odd sensation you get when you're looking at something familiar but from a different angle because you've grown taller since ^_^ Three teachers recognised me!

lycoris's new LJ community,
hp_conversation which will be a forum for all sorts of Harry Potter chat. She will welcome new members, she is very friendly and nice and come on, it's not gonna do you any harm, is it?
I seem to be going off chicken as well as other meat now...my mum and sister and I went out to an Indian restaurant and I could only eat half the curry >_<
Also, my singing teacher's got breast cancer, and she's got to go in for radiation therapy. This is sucky for a number of reasons (1) her husband died last year, and so did one of her friends, so it's not like she hasn't had her share of bad luck (2) cancer is sucky in general (3) I was going to take my Grade 5 in November (after having to postpone it from June) and now I can't, which is a pain. (I realise this probably makes me sound self-obsessed.) My mum cried when my teacher told us the news. I didn't. I sat there being very calm. It's a weird situation to be in with a teacher, specially when your mum's there too. Because then the adults talk to each other while you sit quietly. Or I do, anyway. I felt very awkward.

I can't believe I had such a hard time navigating it when I first got there. I have a feeling that if I go back to high school now, I'll get the same impression--but really, I just got out a few months ago, I don't want to go BACK now :D I might though, anyway, just to see some friends I don't really see out of school that often. A lot of them got held back in their final year...kind of sad, isn't it? XD
Sorry for the email silence (again). we were making such progress, too! I've been stressed, but I feel like LJ works as an appropriate substitute at times. Still, I'll get your mail done ASAP tomorrow. I promise. =)
ALSO, I need to draw you a birthday picture this year. Remind me. :D

I like your e-mails, but at least we can communicate thru LJ! And yay, b'day pics ^__^ I will most certainly remind you!

Hmmm, didn't know this site exists, I read a bit and now I'm all a bit confused. What IS this place? >_> <_< So, you work at a music store? Cool. I guess I'll e-mail you soon...
