June 1st - June 19th
It's almost summer! The last few weeks of school have come, and students will need to study hard for their final exams! Don't let up yet, or your grades won't be what you want them to. Of course, the weather is almost perfect and pristine, in attempts to lure students away from their studies.
You think you can tell me what to do? What to think? What to say? Then you have something else coming your way. I refuse to be the image that you're trying to create. I refuse to be your reflection in the mirror. I'm myself, and that's good enough for me. If it's not good enough for you, then I don't give a shit. Tell someone that actually gives a damn, because as far as I'm concerned, you've never been someone that mattered to me. Your judgements and opinions don't effect me.
I've never really written in one of these things before. Well, I've never really felt the need so I guess it makes no difference either way. All I know is that Alex gave me this for Christmas. She told me that she's been secretly writing in one since the first year and that she thought it would help me organize my twisted thoughts. Alex? A diary? Me? Twisted thoughts? A lot of it just doesn't really work out, but I guess I'll give it a shot. My thoughts don't exactly feel twisted right now, but you have to start somewhere.
So I'm Ashton. Singer. Ashton David Singer, born February 14th, 1992. I have one younger brother, Devon, who needs to be put in a straight jacket from time to time, but he's my brother and basically my best friend so I'm not one to criticize. Right now, um, as weird as it is, I actually have a girlfriend. Her name's Puck and we've been friends since my second year in school. It is kind of weird dating someone that I was such good friends with, but in some ways it doesn't really matter to me at the moment. I can take the awkwardness, you know? We had to declare a major this year, and I decided to take all of the classes for Alchemy. Call me insane, I know I am. As for goals and aspirations, I would love to be the next Fred and George Weasley, but I know that's not very likely to happen. So I'm thinking about going into work at St. Mungos or something of the sort. Not a mediwizard of course. They would probably fire me for getting the patients pissed just for the fun of it. The excuse that "my hand just slipped" wouldn't pass for much there.
Um yeah, so, classes are going to start again here in about a week, and the majority of the school is gone for break. Which is actually really boring. I don't have that much to do with myself. I can't help that I get bored with things really, really fast.
Hm. I need a goal for this semester. I just don't know what type yet. Maybe make a sort of New Years resolution. Like, to study more. Ha. That's a funny one. When hell freezes over, thank you very much. I had a sort of goal at the Halloween Masque to dance with a Slytherin girl, which was kind of funny. I danced with this girl Effie, but I haven't seen her since then. What's a good enough goal? DATE a Slytherin? No, that's dangerous territory. Get in a fight? Too negative. Make more friends?
...that could work. A guy can never have enough friends. So make more friends it is, I guess. I should pick out certain people during class and then target them. Ha. Ashton the Stalker, making a friend hit list. This could actually be fun...
