I'm feeling a little bit gay right now. Am I the only one? I think it's the weather... such a lovely day, isn't it?

Speaking of... Sam, do you still need help with your Transfiguration homework? I've just finished doing some reading and got naught to do right now, so I wouldn't mind helping. Chilly weather makes me generous, you know. Doesn't last long, though, so you should take advantage.

And how amazing is it that Professor Babbling has a friend offering an apprenticeship on Curse Breaking, in Rome? I overheard her talking to some students after class was over and well, I didn't hesitate to show my interest, if only for the experience; I've never been to Rome! Except for that one time when I was like 3, but that hardly counts. Besides, Rome would be the perfect place to get started on that book I want to write, don't you think?

Then stop being stubborn; you're saying it wouldn't be offensive if I replaced Chinese with Asians in that remark? That's rubbish, it'd still be rude, and it's still a good back-up to my argument.

Easy, breezy. No one is making it their business. You didn't gush about what an amazing opportunity it was career-wise, you just talked about travel; so you can deal with the assumptions people come to.

Shut up, I am not stubborn! It's hardly a good argument when it makes no sense. Comparing this to ethnicities is completely ridiculous.

Or, better yet! How about people bugger off and mind their own business? As said before, this concerns no one but myself; whether I'm doing it for the right reasons or not.

But you are. It makes perfect sense; except in one scenario, people are being grouped together by race, and in another, by house. Either way, it's superficial and a sure case of generalising.

Don't get upset 'bout it, Morag. We're just saying you don't have to go through a lot of trouble to get to Rome and start your novel thing.

Perhaps in that deranged little brain of yours, it does.

Your vocabulary astounds me, really. I'm not upset and it's not a novel thing. Who do you think you're talking to?
