I love the last month of the year. 1979's been quite an eventful one, too. We'll have to see what December's got in store, yeah?

Augh, I want to tell people already but Gabriel won't

First check up for the baby is tomorrow...I'm so nervous about this

Mackenzie! Would you like to meet up for lunch tomorrow afternoon?

I'm shocked that the Ministry hasn't removed more of my rights in the past few weeks.

The dance was good. Got some things off my chest just not to the right person, danced with a few blokes, had lots and lots of fun. Even if no one got the costumes Stubby and I wore!

[Gabriel] Can we get coffee tea coffee and a scone sometime? [/Gabriel]

[Gabriel]
I'm pre
I think that we need to
So remember when we
[/Gabriel]

Hrm. By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes. Son of a bitch...

[Sebastian] So. Mackenzie was over the other night, if she didn't tell you. [/Sebastian]

I think I have food poisoning. I had chinese for dinner last night...maybe it wasn't cooked very well Waldo, I'm probably going to skip out on any events coming up, at least until I get better.

Boooo, someone make it go away. Please. I can't keep anything down and I felt fine this morning, what the hell

OI, STUBBY!

The Renegade has been an exciting success!

But, unfortunately, that means that I've completely run out of parchment. If anyone has any old school notes or anything that I can nick from you, that would be brill. I don't exactly have the funding to go out and buy new parchment stupid fucking, and my colleague better not have plans of doing just that, because he has a baby fund to start up.


To quote a (slightly altered) passage from William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar...
Friends, Wizards, Countrymen, lend me your parchment! I come to bury the Ministry, not to praise it! The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with the Ministry!

[Sebastian] Paper. The Renegade? Since the word means "someone who rebels and becomes an outlaw" or "to break with established customs." How does that sound to you?

I've got an itch to write an article, but I don't want to start until it's something that can be published on a palpable medium, and not just this bloody journal. [/Sebastian]

If you're interested in my future project, leave me a note. And then? Keep your eyes peeled for the post.

I have to say that the prison system of the wizarding world is severely lacking. Then again, one also generally assumes that a bed and food are provided, since that's the status quo. Starving us like fucking Perhaps that will be the topic of my next piece, we shall have to see. Fucking tattoo

Throwing a punch has never felt so exhilarating. The only downside is that the bastard probably went straight to Mungo's and they healed him up nicely. So fucking convenient. I'm not the only one who should have a daily reminder of our--er, encounter. If I'd had time to draw my bloody wand--ohhhh I don't even want to think about it.

[Sebastian] I've pooled together enough parchment for twenty 8 page newsletters. It's a shoddy start, but a start nevertheless. Are you still in? [/Sebastian]

So. It appears that while voicing of opinion is generally a good thing at the Daily Prophet, there are a few exceptions that they are willing to make exception for. We live in a country that generally provides less restraints in terms of freedom of expression, and despite the undeniable truth that we are all equal on a human level, the freedom of press is being denied of me at work. So. I suppose I'll just have to find a means of publication myself.

WALDO! WE HAVE RUN OUT OF STACHES. I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE NEXT BATCH PRE-ORDERED!


I DEMAND YOU STOP HAVING SUCH RABID CRAZY FANGIRLS!

Hmmm. There's an unspoken irony when one who writes for a living is unable to come up with a proper first entry in a journal--a public one at that. Perhaps you lot are the reason why I can't think properly.

I've been quite dissatisfied with how things are going right now. I don't know if anything's being done, but they certainly aren't letting us write much I hope to hear word soon. Perhaps it is better that I've been banished to the muggle news. At least things are somewhat optimistic that way.

Oh! Nearly forgot! For those who have no idea who I bloody am, it's Mary. Mary MacDonald...1977 Gryffindor? The greatest person you will ever meet?
