Remember Cedric Diggory.

You can smash up my shit all you want. But all you're going to find is my business shit and my laundry that needs to get done. Needed to do a good deep clean on the place anyway. So sorry you had to see it in such a state. If you really want to know what I've got hidden, I'd personally be happy to show you the pictures of my parents that I keep locked away because it sucks to look at them when I don't even know if they're alive or dead because last I heard from them, they'd arrived in Jamaica. In 1998.

So there it is. My big dark dirty secret that was worth destroying my home and place of work. Now kindly fuck off and leave my place alone so I can clean up in peace.

Finally felt a little bit of inspiration last night.

I've managed to get some new pieces out as far as my non-tattoo work goes. So if you're interested, I'd be happy to show those pieces off. Prices upon request.

[Bubble Bros, Ginny, Nora]

So, guess whose got two thumbs and is going to adopt Jade as soon as it's safe to do so?

This guy.

So congratulations you now have a niece.

Also, I haven't told her yet because I really don't want to get her hopes up just in case something happens to me. I couldn't hurt her like that. However, that's the is current plan.

So fucking protect her. I love this kid, and I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure she has a good life from here on out.

[Bubble Bros]

Wakie wakie Nev. I got someone soft, fuzzy, and dying to give you love.

Also, the bunny does too.

And I'm waiting patiently to bring him in.

I'm not feeling so hot. Probably best that I close down the shop for a few days just to make sure that if I did come down with something, I don't spread it. If you had an appointment over the next few days I just sent out owls to reschedule, sorry again about the inconvenience. Safe than sorry, yeah?

[Jade]

Just checking in.

[/Jade]

[Shay]

I think I fucked up.

[/Shay]

[Neville]

Hi. Just checking in. You okay? Need anything? Anything I can do for you today?

[/Neville]

Going on six days now without a cigarette.

I'm sorry to anyone I might have snapped at.

Mostly sorry.

[Aileas]

I finished it.

Any update on when the next drop might be?

[/Ward]

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK FUCK FUCK

Huh.

[Ginny]

Don't know if you can see this yet, but just wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you. Wish I could come visit, but you know, they'd probably kick my black ass out. I'm trying not to worry too hard, but you know me, I'm going to do it anyway. Anything that's within my power to do, consider it done.

[/Ginny]

Curiously, if I were to stop by a store on the way back to Diagon to pick up some spicy sauce things, what store should that be?

[Shay]

Well that's a first.

Sorry I didn't come back last night. Didn't want to wake anyone up.

At least all my shit's is in tact. So there's that.

( Cut for length )

Lost and found

Yeah, so I came up with an idea when I couldn't sleep the other night.

( Cut for image size )

Figured whoever wanted a phase could get it as a nice reminder, and then when they're all together it could be like having a whole instead of just part together. No charge. Just let me know if you want one. I started work on mine this morning.

MAY I HAVE EVERYONE'S ATTENTION PLEASE.

Thank you. First off all, good morning everyone. Second, and most importantly of all GOOD MORNING SHAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

What is there to say about Shay that hasn't already been said? Well, a lot of things really, but I hope to at least do some oldies but goodies justice. Shay, you are the brother that I chose and I couldn't be happier about that. Very few relationships form the ways ours did, and there's not a day that goes by that I'm not thankful for it. From convincing our respective neighborhoods that we're cousins, to the one time that we'll never mention again, to playing footie in the backyard. Skinned knees and broken hearts. We've seen each other through it all, and there's no other person on this planet that I would want to go on this journey with. I love you, brother. I hope today is the start of another year of adventure, laughter, and all of the good things you deserve in this world.

With that being said. I also found this treasure and had to share it with the world. I won't provide context other than we had so much fun that night.

( picture behind the cut )

I'm awake.

I'm alive.

Shay is too and we're currently slogging our way through breakfast.

I found one of Cornfoot's pasties.

Fuck last night was fun.

Another successful birthday weekend for us in the books. Thanks everyone.

There are some days I really just miss Brixton.

And being able to have a cigarette.
