Sorry it's been a while since I last posted, guys. I thought I'd write something today because I'm feeling so bright today, and I've got some great news to share.
For one thing, it is now August! Just another month until September, which is my birthday month! Guess how old I'll be? 20 years old! Hahaha! ^,^ Naturally, this will mean goodbye to all my teen years, which is sad, because they have been among the best years of my life... especially the recent ones. ~_~
Still, I am very excited! A new decade! Bring it on! I feel I am ready to be another year older! (That's a great feeling, because I don't always feel that way, despite my liking my birthday so much. =P) I'll try to be patient as I can... but I can hardly wait. ^_^
For another, yesterday I
finally got a phone call from one of my best friends ever, Jacoby!!! ^___^ I was so happy to hear from him again! It had been more than 2 weeks since our last communication, since before I left for camp! We had so much fun catching up, and telling our stories... so awesome.
Long distance relationships aren't easy, but if you're truly good friends with each other, it is always worth it when you hear from them. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, as they say. I really miss you, my friend, and very much hope you get internet again, very soon!
Also yesterday, I got an email from the woman Annette and I
sold our cockatiels to. She said Sasha and Sammy were very comfortable in their new home, and she attached some great pictures, showing how happy they were! ^,^ It was so great, seeing our old boys again. I miss them sometimes... but I know they're in good hands.

Oh, and one last reason to celebrate. I am now an early registrant of
Pottermore.com! Yay!!!(Again, click on the images to make it bigger. That way, you can read everything.)
From July 31st to August 6, there has been a beta-test promotion for being a part of this site, before it opens to the general public in October. And I was finally able to sneak my way into it on the 6th day! Can you believe it? ^_^
It was pretty hard, too. I tried every day for a while. There's only a limited time every day when that window of opportunity is open, and you don't know when that time is! Then they give you a riddle, to which the answer is always a number. You paste the answer to the end of a special url, which takes you to a random Harry Potter website, and hunt for the "Magic Quill." If you can do all this in that special time allocated, you are then permitted to register.
Well, finally I succeeded! Whoo! I am a virtual witch! Haha!
Well, maybe not quite yet...
Turns out the website is still not quite up and running yet. It says I have to wait a few more weeks, and I'll get my Welcome email. *sigh* I hope it's worth it
Anyway, I'm pretty excited! I feel so lucky! ^,^ When I finally get that email, I bet it'll be like I'm getting the owl from Hogwarts or something. When I first started the books, I dreamed about that as a kid... So here's to continuing to live a part of my childhood! ^_^
If you think you can shake it, try your luck tomorrow, and see if you can get signed up early. You only have one last day! Otherwise, I'll see you in October. ^,~
