I think I screwed up. I don't mean like "oh my gawd, I failed that exam" screwed up. I mean screwed up as in it'll probably affect me for... forever. Well, okay, not forever. But you get my point, right? Yeah. 'Course you do. Since I'm writing to myself, I hope I get it. Before I dive into how I messed up, I'll start at the beginning and work my way to the top. Or, er, bottom?

It was my first day at Hogwarts a couple days ago and I actually got out into the world to meet some people. Chelsea

[/color] was the first. She's in my house. Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that: I was sorted into Ravenclaw.

I really like Chelsea[/color] so far. She's the most down to earth girl I've had the privelage of meeting so far. I never could stand overly loud and obnoxious girls. Chelsea[/color] isn't like that. Not at all. She's quite, like me. I don't have a crush on her or anything - we met once, stop jumping to conclusions - but I like that quality. Besides, I checked the Date Sign-up Sheet and it looks like she's going with some guy named Landon Pope. I wasn't looking, okay? I just caught her name. Gawd.

I met another girl, Emma. I think the only reason she talked to me was because Logan met her first. Weird how Logan paves the way for me, eh? Yeah - not really. I'm getting sick of it. I need to excell at something first for a change. I'm only younger by a few months. It can't be that hard.

Emma[/color] is pretty cool, too. She's Muggle born. It doesn't matter or anything, I just thought that was an interesting quality. She borrowed my sweatshirt, too. Did she ever give it back? I don't remember...

Snap. Looks like all of the people I've met so far are girls. That's interesting. Does Hogwarts simply flourish with females? Ah, well. I have another to add to my list: Josie[/color]. I think her name is short for Josephyne or something, but I don't think we talked about it much. Josie and I had a really fun time hanging out at the end of a pier.

She and I basically just talked about anything that came to our minds. Family, home... snow. Yes, snow. Her favorite season is winter. I hate winter. Snow is my enemy. I accidently promised her a snowball fight. Stay tuned for details on how that goes.

Next in line we have Kelly. She said her nicknames included Kels and... Frenchie. Am I the only one that thinks that's a bit odd? I can't let that go for some reason. Anyway. . I accidently set off a bunch of owls in the Owlery and it ruffled up Kelly[/color]'s hair. She was pretty mad at me. She found Elfie, though, so it's all good.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot: I was invited to a party. I know what you're thinking: Party = Isaac? WTH?! I was thinking that, too. But Logan was going and his girlfriend invited me and I would've felt bad if I didn't go. Blah. I shouldn't have gone. There were way too many people there. I only caught a few names out of the bazillion people there. Logan's girlfriend's name is Evee. There was also Raven[/color], who twitched. Oh yeah, and a girl with cookies on hand. Hogwarts is weird.

Well, it looks like most of my journal so far is going to be filled with the people I meet and my reactions to them, plus theirs to me. I think I'll be okay with that for a while. At least until something amazingly exciting happens. Remember that dilemma I promised more info on? Well, I'm tired. I'm not going to write any more. Wait for the next entry.

Until next time.

Thursday - 11:54 AM - Walker Lake tree

It's... been a while. There hasn't been too much going on that I need to write about, but I think I'm just going to update situations since I basically... have to work things out? I dunno. I just need to write. It's cold right now. I'm in a tree. I don't know why I thought this would be a good place to write, but it is. I like it here.

I've met a lot more people after my last entry thing. The only downfall is that they're all girls. I only met one guy and he turned out to be annoying and really cocky. He tried to offer Chelsea

[/color] and I money if we guessed who his father was. His name was Gerard Iero[/color] and I don't like him. I dropped his money on his head. It was funny. I laughed.

Now that I've mentioned Chelsea, I think I'ma keep going. She's really interesting. We've made plans to explore the snow in Walker Lake this weekend. I'll write again soon to tell how that went. I keep seeing her in classes and stuff, too. I hope she doesn't think I'm stalking her or something. Of course, we are in the same year, so I doubt she does.

Know what's really stupid?

I keep thinking about how her date with that Landon Pope guy went. You know, the ball? She never mentioned it, but I can't help but wonder. It's weird. I shouldn't care. Except that I kind of do... blah.

Anyway, moving on. I talked to Emma a bit more, too. She considers me her brother now, I guess. I don't really know why. All I did was hug her when she was sad. I see her in classes a lot, too, by the way. That's all I have to say about her. Nothing new.

Oh yeah, Josie. Heh. I like her. She's fun to be around. We plotted a snowball fight against Logan, which I plan to follow through with. Another girl came along when I was talking to Josie. I think her name was Rain. She swam in the water when it was practically freezing. Kinda weird in my opinion.

I also met this one girl named Nessa[/color]. She asked to be my friend. I've never been one to accept invitations like that, but she was really nice and I couldn't resist. I've been hanging out with her a lot. She's pretty cool. She smiles a lot. It's kinda contageous.

Last, since my hand hurts and I don't feel like writing anymore, I met Alexandraea and Gene. I met Alexandraea in the Enchanted Garden. It was raining and I was laying in the middle of it. Pretty interesting stuff. Gene caught me in the Dallin Tower well after midnight. I thought she was a Prefect. It was funny.

Yeah so I'll write more later. I think I killed my hand right now writing all that stuff. It took me forever.

Until next time.
