I am very much enjoying summer this year, more than normal. Having time to read and study what I want to learn- well, I suppose need to learn is more suitable- is great. School is wonderful and all but really there is a lot that I can't get there with what I intend to do with my life. Making wands is what Ollivanders do, what we've always done, and so while it's great to learn about magical creatures, I don't know that I need it outside of learning magical properties. Not that the animals are anything less than fascinating, honestly, and I think that might be among my favourite classes. Uncle is letting me work in the back this year, so I am able to create finally instead of just reciting back the qualities of the various wand woods and cores.

If anyone is still looking for something to do this weekend, and are in or around San Francisco, my mom's gallery, Galerie Petit Trianon, has an opening this weekend. Jackson has been playing in the gallery most evenings this week, but openings are also catered. I'll probably be there most of the time but if you don't see me, ask. I'm often in the back room since Wallace was talking about being in town and not on the floor.

And if you want more reason to come, one of the artist's in the opening is sleeping with friends with Wallace Battye, former Quidditch player, and she modeled in a few of the paintings. She is supposed to make an appearance too, if she isn't too drunk to remember to come. I will need people to be there so I don't have to talk to her.

I have been waiting a little while because I still can not believe it is real, but it is. Last Friday I went out on a date with this guy. Remember me tell you I had a crush on a guy from school? Well I saw him the other day and just out of the blue asked him and he said yes!

I really enjoyed our date the other night. I was wondering if we could maybe have another one...soon?

I think I want to try out of the Quidditch team this year. I know the keeper left last year and thought, why not? The problem is that I don't have broom, can anyone recommend a good on? But not too expensive.
