So I’ve had this for a while, but have been more of the observing than the using sort. Typically though, I find that when I do share, a few people rather I hadn’t like during practices. Why can’t Weasley take a bit of constructive criticism? For example, if I was to say the following, you likely wouldn’t be terribly happy with me. But I am actually going to say the following, so the last sentence was a hypocritical cop-out. Allow me:

- Barney Dunstan seems to make a lot of people’s heads hurt when they talk to him, but they like him anyway. I do too.
- Jelena Dorny’s entries all sound different to each other, but when you look at the context, they’re all repeats. Not that I’m saying this is a bad thing. Most actual diaries are the same, just people blathering on about what they’ve done or (more likely) haven’t and should have done each day. I’m just making an observation.
- Cassius Warrington likes to provoke. And people get provoked every time. So smart boy, he keeps on doing it and his entries also are repeats of each other. Hey, if it ain’t broke…
- Serenity Fawcett and Nicholas Stebbins need to stop flirting. Or they need to continue flirting, but actually do something about it. And along those lines, Serenity should shut up about how she hates her first name, when she could just go and get it changed legally now that she’s of age. But Serenity seems to like to complain, and complainers don’t actually like to fix what they’re complaining about. Because then that thing to complain about will be gone hmm, maybe that’s why Ron whinges so much about what a bad player he supposedly is… Logical, really, and logic isn’t my forte.
- Serenity Fawcett and Nicholas Stebbins need to stop flirting – in Solan Montague’s journal. Really, I don’t get the appeal. He writes one line and then every witch and wizard and their familiar have a party there. And what’s all this stuff and nonsense about him being an “enigma?” An enigma is something that can’t be solved. The cure to cancer is an enigma. Last night’s Potions homework is an enigma. Montague – now, everyone seems to be assuming that because he’s quiet, that he’s hiding some big secret and is a tortured soul. Or a serial killer. He may likely become the second one if people don’t get off his journal. But Montague is not an enigma. Let me explain to you. When someone’s quiet, it means one thing. That they’re quiet. The thing that confuses me about so-called mysterious people is that people think that they have things so important to say that they can’t be said. Maybe they’re quiet because – let’s see – they don’t have anything to say? Like the rest of us when we’re quiet? So let’s all shut up about Montague now and move onto whoever we’re next going to gossip about.
- The Slytherin Quidditch team seem to spend a lot of time being male slappers and flirting. That’s nothing new. The new thing this year, however, is that it’s with each other. In the year that they weren’t able to harass my girls the Chasers as the tournaments was on, their libidos couldn’t hack it any more and they turned on each other. Evidently.
- My girl Alicia Spinnet doesn’t talk very much. When she does, people therefore want to talk to her.
- My boy Fred Weasley does talk very much. When he does, people therefore want to not talk to him.
- Verity Jenkins is a little too obsessed with coffee.
- Ravenclaws as a whole are a little too obsessed with coffee. It’s a tool, people, not a raison d’être.
- Adrian Pucey would chew Saorla Capper up and spit her up – if he could drum up the energy and not worry about the results of his exertions messing up his hair.
- Christopher Summerby conversely looks like his face will explode whenever a remotely pretty girl comes near him.
- Roger Davies is not a pretty girl. But he is pretty. He is also one of the more serious of people on these things and seems to actually plan out what he writes and organizes it so that it resembles an actual entry, rather than the verbal diarrhea most people have. Fittingly, he gets the least amount of responses.
- Marietta Edgecombe has very curly hair.
- Terence Higgs will get a shag when the people actually on the Slytherin team stop flirting with each other and move on to him. Because even Bagman wouldn’t bet on the chances of him pulling a female again.
- I have yet to learn how to tell the Montgomery sisters apart, but that’s because they haven’t given me a reason to.
- People really, really have a thing for writing the title of their entries in foreign languages.
