- A couple of weeks ago, our school librarians upped the ante when it came to getting girls to read. Their solution? Print out a life-sized Edward Cullen with a speachbubble saying 'Yes, you CAN borrow out books for the holidays." The next day, we came back to find that someone had stuck a Hufflepuff badge on him. The day after it was a sticker that said 'HI! My Name Is ... Cedric'. On Wednesday, I came in to find a yellow and black scarf around his neck. The culprit? My best friend. MLIA.
- Today, I was taking a nap. I awoke to my 20 year old brother bursting into my room screaming "Troll in the dungeon!! TROLL!! In the dungeon...thought you'd want to know..." then proceeding to collapse onto my bed. Glad that degree in Computer Engineering is getting him somewhere. MLIA.

And whoever that man I love is, he will be sitting in the audience.
Our eyes will connect for the slightest second We'll remember
We don't have to be here much longer. You and I, we will soon go somewhere else.
I'll feel a shot of warmth in me. like a dying fire that with one breath he can keep aglow.
I know that no matter how many faces are in a crowd, I'll find his.
I'll find his.
