Finally, I'm going to get to go to Diagon Alley. It's just a matter of hours.
I could offer an estimation of how many hours it is until this happens, but the majority of that estimation depends upon when my uncle actually decides to wake up.
Personally, I don't think I'll be sleeping at all. I've heard so many fascinating things about the place, so I'm thrilled to actually be able to visit.
The concept that such a place could have existed under my nose for all these years is astounding, but it makes sense, considering it's a wizard place and I didn't know a thing about it until I got my letter.
I'm to get my wand too, and this is this most significant thing that's on the agenda, because seriously?
Clothes shopping is boring, and as much as I enjoy books, I've gone book shopping before.
Never have I bought a cauldron, but that is beside the point.
I've been reading about them too, how the properties of each wand are significant and unique.
It makes me even more anxious to find out what my wand will be like, considering the wood and core are supposed to be telling about the type of person I am.
Or something along the lines of that.
There's supposed to be other things going on too, but I don't really know details on it. The whole wand thing definitely out-shadows it.
Who is going to Diagon Alley soon anyway? Maybe we'll see each other.
If you don't know what I look like, I'll probably be the kid with Dave.

Man, my wand core is a horklump bristle. I don't think I want to know what that says about me.

[givesyouaboner]

Maybe it means something more awesome than you've ever even considered.
What is horklump, though?

[caresawholeawfullot]

Haha, maybe not, because horklumps are living pink mushrooms, basically.

[givesyouaboner]

That would at least imply that you're adaptable to situations though, wouldn't it?

[caresawholeawfullot]

How so?

[Ted is plant-dumb, even when those plants are actually beasts.]

[givesyouaboner]

Normal mushrooms can sprout up almost anywhere and it's really hard to kill them.

[ficklefuckwit]

Oh oh i will be!
Though im afraid ill have to do a bit more guesswork than the average joe on finding you.
I have no idea who this dave person is!

[givesyouaboner]

Oh. That would be a bit problematic!
Imagine the coolest person in the history of ever and you'd have Dave in your mind.
But in all seriousness, we both have blond hair and epic shades, and so does my uncle.
I think that'll help.

[ficklefuckwit]

Blond hair and shades!
I can certainly be on the lookout for that.

Blast i simply cant sleep with the notion of whats to come!
Are you excited mister strider?

[givesyouaboner]

Yeah! What should I be on the lookout for?

Excited was four hours ago. I'm beyond excited. I'm exuberant and practically shaking because I can't wait for this.

[ficklefuckwit]

Ah well my hair is dark and i wear glasses! They are sort of rectangular and the frames are green.
Also im quite tan! And sort of tall for my age.

Goodness me too. I do hope i can sleep at some point or tomorrow might be a bit of a drag!
Yourself too of course.

[givesyouaboner]

Are you going to be wearing a specific shirt or something? I think I would have to be really close to be able to tell the colour of your frames.

I doubt it'll happen for me. I'll just get coffee or something in the morning.

[nomorals]

You'll probably get a wand that's significant to you. Mine's Rosewood with Wood Nymph Vocal Chord.

[givesyouaboner]

That would make sense.
What does your wand say about you?

[nomorals]

Well, Rosewood's used for musical instruments and performance art, and Wood Nymph Vocal Chord core holders are usually vocalists.

Try and take a guess ;)

[givesyouaboner]

You must be into.....jujitsu, is that it?







Would music be something you just enjoy or are you like a legit virtuoso?

[nomorals]

Actually I know a little martial arts, but that aside.

I'm a singer. I usually bring my bass to school too.

[givesyouaboner]

That's cool. I'm not proficient in any sort of musical instrument, but I took classes at my old school.
Are you in a band?

Go to sleep, Dirk.

[kicking your mattress real hard rn little cuz]

voice/action

[givesyouaboner]

I'm not even doing anything to bother you.
Quit kicking my mattress. I definitely can't sleep if you do that.

[clockspinner]

...

You must be new.
Your pen scratching sounds louder than the hopes and dreams of millions of endangered species being crushed mercilessly under the bloody blades of a greedy corporate cashmonger's rainforest deforestation project.

[One final kick, right under Dirk's ass.]

[givesyouaboner]

Oh my god Dave stop. You're going to wake Roxy up.
You're acting like a baby right now, except babies could actually sleep through this. You're worse. You're like a fetus that everyone really just thinks is indigestion.
Seriously I'm going to tell Uncle Dirk if you don't.

[clockspinner]

[He pitches a falsetto up into his nose.]
Please, Dirk, stop scratching your pen like you're trying to rape my eardrums with a cat dick! I'm offended! My family was murdered in a rainforest, you insensitive little shit!

[doctorkishitani]

You're Strider, aren't you?
I think I shouted at you while we were canoeing and I'm very sorry I did that.

But to answer your question, I'm going to Diagonal Alley as well. Perhaps we'll see each other.

[givesyouaboner]

Yeah, that's me.
It's okay; it was a particularly stressful situation, I guess.

That would be awesome!
