Wow.
I must apologise. It has been well over three months since I last updated. That is clearly unacceptable. I do have my reasons however.
Luna's reasons.
- I have been insanely busy with school and homework. Study study study.
- I am a rather boring updated-er. I never know what to say.
- The computers were down for awhile because someone downloaded some rather inappropriate material.
- I hate updating unless I have something specific to say. Quite like now.
So, there you have it. I'm sure it's safe to say no one missed me too much.
Dinner has just ended, so I came upstairs to write a little entry. Draco Malfoy's in here as well, I would tell you how he was, but I am frightened to ask.
In other news, I ordered a special quill in the mail, and it still hasn't arrived yet. I ordered it in March I believe, but does Luna have a quill? No. It wasn't anything special per say, I just thought it was pretty.
Perhaps I should owl them again ... I should take advantage of thi -
Oh my. There is a spider crawling along the top of my desk as we speak. That gave me quite the start.
Anyways, as I was saying.
Perhaps I could take advantage of this situation and ask Draco how to intimidate people into giving you the things you want.
Or, maybe I should just owl them and ask where it is.
Hmm.

GUESS WHAT?!?
I'm back! That's right. I'm back.
Not that I went anywhere of course, so I suppose I really should have begun with, 'I am updating!' or something of the sort. But really now, I think it's pretty apparent I'm updating.
I do apologise I've been away for so long, and I have no real excuse, besides ... being lazy? Not lazy per say, just a tad busy. I never know what to write about anyways, so I just avoid updating regularily. Though, I don't think anyone from Hogwarts actually updates very regullarily. I love how I keep finding new ways to spell that word, but you see, I'm trying my very best to type this entry without looking at the keyboard. I don't really know why, I'm not keen on honing my typing skills or anything, but still, it is always good to improve on ... stuff.
Now ... what to talk about?
*taps chin*
Oh I know.
How was everyone's Valentines day? I personally dislike it. Well, sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't. I think it should really be called,
'The day that reminds you you are single and here is some chocolate you can binge on to spite the boys who don't fancy who.'
Not that I fancy anyone of course, but ... you know.
Ron looked nice today ... It was rather nice outside really, considering the time of the year and all, and he had on his robes ... and shirt, and I know he wears that like ... everyday ... but today one side of his collar was just slightly turned up at one end, subtly accentuating the way his hair curls in at the nape of his neck.
...
So anyways.
Speaking of today. Today was like the day Mother Nature decided to give everyone a break. I think it's supposed to rain tomorrow ... but that's nothing new for this area. You know how I know it's going to rain? Because I have a headache in my temples. That's how.
I should be a weather girl. Of course, I'm wrong about ... oh, ninety percent of the time? But still, it would be fun.
I wonder if they'd let me wear a hat.
McGonagall makes me take my hats off in her class, but, I think she's given up on asking me to remove accessories, since I wore sunglasses yesterday and she said nothing.
One point for Luna.

| ~*The Aching of the Stomach*~ |

Yes, it is true, I have a stomach ache. This was probably caused because I ate some dill picked flavor crisps, then ate some Bertie Botts Beans, and then I drank some grape juice.
I have now come to the conclusion that some foods, like people, just don't get along. For example, if you were to eat an orange, and then a mint, it is inevitable they would have a fight, right there in your mouth, leaving their combined bitterness behind to haunt you. Same thing as a bunch of sweets. They all get rather competetive, and start a fight in your tummy.
Caramel candy: I am the sweetest by far! How dare you try to overpower me! *goes to sulk and kicks you in the liver*
Bertie Botts Beans: Pssht, whatever. Everyone knows I'm the best! Cherry flavor! Go attack the stomach, vomit flavor, you take the liver, and take out that caramel bastard while you're at it - and you, grass flavor, you go do somersaults repeatedly!
Chocolate Frog: *hops around in your stomach* ATTACK! ATTACK!
and on and on the candy war goes, leaving you curled up and groaning in one of Pomfrey's hard-mattress-ed beds. My stomach ache isn't that terrible now, but I do intend on going to visit her before I go to bed. Harry is in here as well, on another computer, and he claims that his stomach hurts as well. Perhaps I caught it from him. Are tummy aches contagious? Oh dear, what if I've given it to him? I certainly hope not. Or maybe the house elves have decided to form a rebellion, and are now slowly poisoning our food. They'll lace our stew with rat poision, then creep into our dorms at night and poke us with pins!
I knew it.
I always knew they had something up their sleeves, though I'm not quite certain they even have sleeves. I wish I was a house elf. Not back in the older times of course, but now. I would make a terrible house elf though, as you all know, I can't even keep my own room neat, nevermind an entire house, or school for that matter.
Speaking of school, I might as well bring this up now. It seems as though everyone has a journal now, and it's rather confusing. I am sorry to say this, but the only two people I actually know are Draco, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) xxdracomalfoyxx, and Harry, harryp0tter. I don't really know Draco per say, we never really speak ... except that time I wore some earmuffs in the summer, and he called me a simpleton ... but in a much, meaner way. I was starting a trend all right? It isn't my fault no one followed. Anyways, what I'm trying to say is basically what Harry did on the matter. So, since I feel bad, and don't like this topic, (since it can apparently be very touchy to some) just go read his journal.
I'm running out of things to say, and it's after nine now, so it might be a good idea to go visit Pomfrey before I head back to my dorm. I said goodnight to Harry just now, and he said 'sleep well', and I said,
'Indeed.'
and he just smiled a bit and nodded. He's very polite, but sometimes I can't help but be put under the impression I confuse him ... I wonder why that is.
Before I go, I will say thank you to everyone who comments! I apologise again on behalf of my lack of replying skills, but just so you know, I do read them all. I hope you all have a lovely holiday, whatever you happen to celebrate, and I sincerely hope you all got at least one hat.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen!
(I've always just wanted to say that)
Anyhow, how is everybody? I firstly just wanted to apologise because I am a -
TERRIBLE
comment ... er ... rer. I always take so very long to respond to what you guys comment, and I feel so awful! I mean, I suppose it's because I always kept journals when I was younger. I wrote in them seldomnly, (quite like this one) but I did have one, however, it never replied to what I said, so I suppose I'm quite new to this whole ... response thing. Anyways! Please know that I do appreciate your comments, sometimes I'm just a bit stumped about how to reply to them.
Oh! And thank you to everybody who wished me a Happy Birthday. I really appreciate that.
Do you guys want to know a secret? Well, since you are all a part of my secret diary, I shall let you in on it.
You know Ron Weasley? Tall, red hair ... Anyways, a few days after my birthday, he posted me a - Happy Belated Birthday post in his very own journal - r0nweasley Sure, he put up the wrong LJ name, but still, he remembered my birthday, (a few days late yes, but what does that matter?!?) I even got my own little post box - all to myself! I was very excited, and I sat here hyperventilating for awhile before I summoned up the courage within myself to reply.
'Oh ... to ... to me? You're wishing me a happy birthday Ron? Well ... I ... Oh thank you. Thank you very much. I'm just a touch overwhelmed right now ... I appreciate that muchly ... Is muchly a word? I don't think so, but it gets the point across.
Belated? Oh, well that's quite all right. I could even change the day or something ... I'm sure that's allowed.
Thanks again Ron ... I wish there was a way to print a ... a moving post. Oh you even made it move ... I feel so special and touched and ... *lets out a deep breath* You must be so skilled with Charms ... you can even make things on a computer move ... Wow ... That's very impressive.
Oh good luck on your Potions essay by the way. I have been reading your journal, I just haven't known what to say in a post. I never really know what to say to you, since I always just wind up rambling on and on and on and ... and I think I'm rambling.
ahaha. Well, erm, have, have a very nice day Ron. I'm just going to ... go now.
Thanks again, it really means a lot!
~*Luna*~'
That was my reply to his post. I know, smoooooooooooth. Then - then, he replied with this -
'Of course to you! It was your birthday, and birthdays should always be celebrated, no matter how late. :) Erm, no need to change the date.;) So ... how was it?
As for printing moving posts such as this, it's a shame it's not quite possible. But you know, you could ask Hermione about this too, maybe she has an answer for you.
As for my journal ... I don't even know what to say myself! I always read Harry's journal, and uh, I know he always mentions me there anyway, I'm such a lazy arse, I should really update more often. Hmmm.
And lastly, you are welcome, Luna.'

Wow ... This is very exciting. I have almost thirty friends now. I don't even have this many friends in real life. It is rather intimidating however, I must admit. I feel like I must put on a show of some sort ...
Oh! I've just had an epiphany of sorts!
Perhaps I will wear a top hat everytime that I update. Wouldn't that be exciting? Of course I have to find a top hat first, but I am always looking for new situations where I can put on a hat.
...
This keyboard feels awkward against my fingers. Draco's in here as well, I believe he is updating his own journal, or perhaps replying to comments, (I heard him snickering) and he took my computer. He got here first, so finders keepers I suppose.
Though, he didn't really find the computer, it was always there. It wasn't like it was hiding or anything, though it would be fun if they did hide. You would get to play a little game of hide and go seek before you were able to use your computer. I suppose that early bird theory would be better for this situation, but now I'm all for the idea of hide and go seek.
Anyways. He's on the computer I generally use, and this keyboard is weird.
Hmm.
Oh! Last night, after I had finished studying downstairs in the common room, I went to head upstairs and go to bed. I could have sworn the dorm room door was open, but it was not, and I walked right into it. It made a loud noise and I woke up my roomates. They were a bit shirty with me, but it was fun. Painful, but fun.
The end.

Well, it has certainly been quite awhile since I last updated. Over a month at least. I do apologise ... I hope your don't feel too ignored or neglected sir Live Journal.
Hey, does anybody ever notice than when they name an inanimate object, it is always male? Why is that? Or is it just me? All of my stuffed animals are male ... *ponders* Well, I guess that isn't really important.
I suppose I shall now take a moment to congratulate Harry on his win. Though it was close, I happen to believe you were deserving of it.
...
I'm very boring right now. But really, I have nothing interesting to say. I just didn't want my journal to feel left out any longer. I shall find a quiz to do and update again soon. Thank you to everyone who has added me, I love making new friends!

[14 Sep 2003|06:12pm] |

exanimate |
] |
[[FIRST NAME:]] Luna. I thought that this question had a rather obvious response, seeing as though it is in the title of my journal, but however would the writer of this survey be aware of that little tidbit? So, there you go, my name, is Luna.
[[NICKNAMES:]] Well, around Hogwarts, people have taken to calling me 'Loony Luna', which I suppose is rather fitting.
[[HAIR COLOR:]] It's very dull, I prefer to think it's purple. Wouldn't it be brilliant to have purple hair? I love purple, and it would be such a delight to wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and be greeted with purple hair. *sigh* A girl can dream.
[[HAIR LENGTH:]] It's boring as well. I wish it reached the back of my knees. Do you know how much you could do? Oh! I would braid it, then stick a piece of wire in each of the braids, so I could bend them to my will.
[[EYE COLOR:]] Boring ... again. I wish they were green like Harry's. He has such lovely eyes.
[[HEIGHT:]] I'm tall enough to touch my toes.
[[WEIGHT:]] I'm heavy enough to stay on the ground.
[[BIRTHDAY:]] My birthday? That would be the day I was born!
[[LOCATION:]] I'm currently at Hogwarts. I love Hogwarts. How could you not love a place where the portraits you speak to actually talk back?
[[SHOE SIZE:]] My shoes are big enough to fit my feet.
[[STAR SIGN:]] *
[[SIBLINGS:]] When I was little I used to pretend I had siblings. They were all invisible however, which was a shame.
[[PETS:]] I would give anything for a giraffe. I still wish that ladder had been a giraffe.
DO YOU
[[THINK YOU ARE ATTRACTIVE:]] Not especially. I mean, I'm not hideous. At least I'd like to think I'm not. There are many better looking people than I however, but I don't mind. Looks fade, oddness doesn't.
[[THINK YOU HAVE COMMON SENSE:]] I suppose.
[[SHAVE:]] I don't know if a shaved head would suit me.
[[BELIEVE IN ALIENS:]] Yes! I would love to be abducted. Can you imagine the conversation?
[[LIKE SITCOMS:]] I am afraid I don't know what these are ...
[[HAVE A BOYFRIEND OR GIRLFRIEND:]] No.
[[THINK YOUR STYLE/FASHION IS COOL:]] The coolest. Who in Hogwarts could beat a lion hat thank you very much.
[[HAVE ANY PIERCINGS:]] My ears. I love my radish earrings.
[[DO DRUGS:]] This may come as a shock to many, but no, I do not.
[[DRINK:]] I do drink, and eat, and breathe! It's all part of living.
[[HAVE SEX:]] With who? Do you think they would let me keep my lion hat on?
HAVE YOU EVER
[[SMOKED:]] No, I avoid expensive habits.
[[DRANK:]] Wow ... deja-vu!
[[GOTTEN DRUNK:]] Again, this may surprise some people, but no.
[[WENT BUNJEE JUMPING:]] Bunjee whating? (I stole this answer from Draco.)
[[HAD A CRUSH ON A TEACHER:]] *ponders* Professor Snape is ... attractive, in a mysterious sort of way. Perhaps Lupin, I always did like him, oh, and Flitwick's cute.
[[BROKE THE LAW:]] Nope.
[[RAN FROM THE COPS:]] The who?
[[LAUGHED:]] Laughed? Who hasn't laughed? They must be a very sad person.
[[BEEN SARCASTIC:]] No. Sometimes people think I'm being sarcastic, but really I'm not.
[[CRIED:]] Of course. This is the same as laughter. I feel bad for the person who has never cried.
[[WANTED TO DIE:]] Why would I want to die? Life is so short!
[[BEEN SCARED TO HALF DEATH:]] To half death? No, but it does sound interesting.
[[STOLE ANYTHING:]] No.
[[TOUCHED THE OPPOSITE SEX'S PRIVATE PARTS:]] My goodness ...
[[MADE YOURSELF THROW UP:]] No, I avoid throwing up. Food never tastes better coming up.
[[THOUGHT ABOUT OR TRIED TO KILL YOURSELF:]] No, again, life is far too short.
[[WENT SKINNY DIPPING:]] No, only in my bathtub. I really would like to someday.
[[BEEN IN LOVE:]] No. I have a shirt I really like though. It's pink with a picture of a penguin on it, and it says 'quack'. LOL! Get it? Penguins don't quack!
[[SAID "I LOVE YOU" AND DID NOT MEAN IT:]] Of course not.
[[GOTTEN INTO A FIGHT WITH YOUR PET:]] ... No, but I do fight with inanimate objects a lot. Like today, my trunk wouldn't open. It's all right though, we've made up now.
[[HAD A DREAM ABOUT SOMETHING WIERD AND IT HAPPENED THE NEXT DAY:]] Yes, I adore when that happens!
[[STALKED SOMEONE:]] My shadow.
[[HAD A MUD BATH:]] I wish!
[[WISHED YOU WERE THE OPPOSITE SEX:]] Sometimes. I would like to be a boy just for a day.
WHAT COMES TO MIND WHEN YOU HEAR
[[BLUE:]] Hippogrifs.
[[SOCKS:]] Mismatched.
[[MIRROR:]] Backwards.
[[CRACKER:]] SNAP!
[[COW:]] Spots.
[[FRANCE:]] Cheese.
[[ZINE:]] U.F.O.
[[AOL:]] LOA.
[[JELLY:]] Fishes.
[[FISH:]] Cats.
LAST PERSON WHO ...
[[WROTE YOU A NOTE:]] I don't think I've ever had an official note ... Perhaps Hogwarts?
[[CALLED YOU:]] Called me what?
[[KISSED YOU:]] *shrug*
[[HUGGED YOU:]] *shrug*
[[EMAILED YOU:]] I don't have an e-mail.
[[TOLD YOU THEY LOVE YOU:]] Nobody has ever told me they loved me.
[[WAS MEAN TO YOU:]] Probably the girls who take my clothes ... but again, as I mentioned before, I really don't think they intend on hurting my feelings.
[[SAID SOMETHING NICE TO YOU:]] I say nice things to myself all the time.
[[YOU WENT TO THE MALL WITH:]] Mall?
[[SAID THEY HATED YOU:]] No one's ever said it to my face, but I'm sure there's someone out there who does.
Seven things that scare you:
1. Butterflies.
2. Babooons.

3.

6. Put on eyeliner. I always want to open my eyes and see if I'm doing a good job, and I end up stabbing my pupil.
7. Clasp a bra behind my back.
Seven things that attract you to the opposite sex:
1. If they had a big hat, that would rock.
2. Their smile.
3. Their ears.
4. I like it when they're smart, but weird. Who likes normal?
5. I don't know, I've never been super attracted to anybody. No one wears any cool hats. Whatever is a girl to do?
6. Hmm ... their hair?
7. And ... I like their hands.
I didn't feel like doing the last question, so I just deleted it. So that is all for now, I must be going!
Tata!

Well, somehow I have allowed my room to become very messy again. How does this always happen? I get it spotless, so it shines and shimmers and smells good! Then, I pause at the doorway with my hands on my hips, and I say to myself,
'Luna, never again shall your room be messy.'
Then, a few weeks later, it's messy again. I don't understand. I usually have better self control then this, and it isn't like I have anything better to do. It isn't even like I get some kind of euphoric feeling from dropping something on the floor when I'm not wearing it. So why does it continue to happen?
Anyways, that wasn't the real point of this post. The point of this post was to talk about how fun it is to find things you didn't know you had. For example, today I was cleaning up, and I found a really cool, old pair of sunglasses. The lenses are blue, and the frames are white and huge! They cover up nearly my entire face! Well, not really, but you get the idea. I think I'll bring them to Hogwarts with me and wear them to class.
Well, I think I'm off to have a bubble bath.
~*Luna*~
Oh, before I forget. This morning I woke up, and it was really rather dull, so my room was a bit dim, and everything had shadows casted over it, but anyways, my Father had set up a ladder in front of my closet, (he'd been storing something in the top section, because I don't use it for anything) and I thought it was a giraffe.
Needless to say, I was disappointed to find the ladder.

Wow.
I have my own journal. How entertaining. I could sit for hours, just watching the little panda - dog icon dancing. In fact. I have.
So. What is there to talk about? Not much really. My summer so far has been rather uneventful, but what else is new? Today, my cousin dropped off some clothes that she'd outgrown, and some were very nice actually. My head got stuck in one of the sweaters, and to be honest, I feared for my life for a moment. After bouncing and pulling at the same time however, I managed to get it off. Thankfully, I am all right. Another top was black, with some lace on it. It was very pretty, and it clipped all the way up the front. However, I was sad to see that the clasps were broken, so I'll have to fix it if I ever intend to wear it myself. Some of the clothes were far too large, but some fit nicely, I think I'll bring them to Hogwarts with me when the new school year starts up.
I just ... I really hope that no one takes my new black sweater. It's very comfortable, and I would appreciate if that specific item were left alone. I really wish that all my clothes would just be left alone at the end of the year, but ... How many people can say that they get to go on a scavenger hunt at the end of every school year? I suppose that's the optimistic way of looking at it. Perhaps I should thank the girls who take my things, because it can be rather fun, decorating the posters I hang around the school, asking everyone if they've seen any of my clothing.
Anyways, I think I'm off to make myself some tea for now. I do apologise Harry, I got my journal a bit too late to really wish you a proper happy birthday, but, happy belated birthday, I hope you had fun.
~*Lots of Love,
~*Luna.
