Finnigan's RPG

Activity check on 28th October will end here!

I feel as though I've learned an important lesson today - a kitten is much harder to bathe than a child, even if it is significantly smaller.

Lets play a game. I'll start a story with three words. You add to it with three more words. And so on and so on... Until someone finishes it or it gets boring.

There once lived....

I had that dream about the birds. They were all sick and damp and their feathers fell off when I reached out to hold one.
Kittens were growing from a tree. Just these blind, sightless kitten heads.


I woke up in a closet. Hah.

This was in the Prophet today!

( pasted in cutting from the Daily Prophet )

THERE. I am all moved out of the flat because it will be far less stressful living with my parents then THAT person.

Except for the fact that my brother also lives with them and I swear there is a funny smell coming from his bedroom. GROSS.

So, I'm considering upgrading my Cleanswep 15 and/or just adding to the collection. Truth is -- I just want something new and shiny!

I've maxed out on how many personalizations I can add to most of my current brooms in terms of remaining pitch legal. Anyway, if you have any suggestions or preferences let me know.

Or, you know, just talk me out of it. Because frivelous purchasing is silly.

Happy thursday witches and wizards! May all your almost friday dreams come true!

p.s. I do hope you all imagined a wee fairy sprinkling neverdust about when you read that.

p.p.s. So bloody bored

Mum's staying with Nate for the next few days in Kingston and the two have been volunteering through the Red Cross. Naturally the peer pressure has been on for Christopher and I to get involved. Dad's stuck holding down the fort in Brighton.

I had a minor panic attack at the thought of helping the day of. Does that make me a bad person? Mum was convinced I could have at least helped as response support. But the idea of being in the thick of it was horrifying. I finally went in today and I'll be helping take donations to the Mayor's relief fund. That's something right?

Mum and Nate have been working with the Red Cross the last few days and finally roped me in today. Even though it's a muggle organization they're doing amazing things to help after the attacks downtown. If you're up for getting involved we're in need of people to answer phones and take physical donations for the London Bombings Relief Charitable Fund. They're also setting up a Support Line for victims and their families that will open to callers on July 12th - some training provided. There's a number of other ways to get involved too - I'll grab some pamphlets tomorrow and send them to whoever wants them.

But if you're uncomfortable with muggle technology/interaction sending money works too. Exchange your wizarding coin for muggle cash and drop it by; British Red Cross UK Office, 44 Moorfields, London EC2Y 9AL. Label for the London Bombing Relief Fund.

Or maybe Gringotts has a better system for direct donations. Probably be good to ask.

P.S. Remember to breathe air and smile for no good reason.

So, I know I'm slow to get one of these, but I have to say I love reading people's ideas and being able to talk to people any time is so convenient and a blessing for those of us who just LOVE to talk to all kinds of people!

My shop has been rather busy lately, but we've got a new line in. Knickers* that lace up the back like a corset-they're sexy but also really adorable! Come see, I KNOW people will just love them!
