Bought a new journal today in Diagon Alley, so I thought I'd start it off right away. The picture you see above was taken by my distant cousin from Hawaii (with a muggle camera, that's why it's not moving) and she sent it to me only yesterday, as some kind of thank you for their stay. I never thought this would work out so well. I look so thoroughly happy, and the lights just make it seem like I'm bathed in sunlight. If that is how I appear to the outside world, I can only congratulate myself, if it's really not visible how much of a mess I can sometimes be. Somehow I can't shake off the feeling that my phobia has increased over the summer break, instead of calming down further like I'd want it to. I know for sure the nightmares are coming more frequently than they have in years. I just don't know what is.

Yesterday evening I stayed out late with Meical to watch some rare planet and star constellation, and when we walked back from the cliff, some idiot let his big black dog run free. I don't think I have to spell out what happened next, I nearly had a heart attack until I saw that beast had a collar and the owner was just a hundred meters off. Gladly, Meical promised he would not say anything to mum and dad, and especially not Alice. They really don't need to think their daughter is slowly losing it, I had enough with Meical's kind offer two years ago that some 'specialist' of St. Mungo's could be 'taking a look'. Taking a look?! Next thing they're gonna put me in there for good!!

Oh, by the way, that's not the only unpleasant thing this week. When I was collecting school stuff this morning in Diagon Alley, I had a very unpleasant run-in with none other than Lucius Malfoy. He was picking on a little girl that looked like she could have been a muggle-born first year. You know me, I'm usually not one to start a scene, and technically I didn't. I just wanted to show him how illogical he was being with his pureblood fanatism. There's literally not a single logic foundation in anything he threw at me. Like, since when do make pureblood wizards better wizards than halfbloods?! I know so many halfbloods and even muggleborns that are thrice as brilliant as some purebloods I know! But of course he didn't want to hear it, great Merlin, he even threatened me! Threatened to harm me through some of his 'sources' just because I was leading him into a fair discussion! What on earth has the world come down to?!

Well, good thing just was we were doing this in the middle of Diagon Alley, and probably a few people overheard us. So... should anything happen to me or my family, I am sure I have a few witnesses. But, seriously: Why can't people just accept the ways of logic?! It's pretty annoying if you ask me!

Oh, and before I forget, I wanted to do a little contest for myself in here: Each diary entry gets ended with a riddle that needs to be solved with the next entry. Should not be too difficult, but then it's also gonna be a bit of a record for my ever-growing riddle resource.

So, here goes:

You use it between your head and your toes, the more it works the thinner it grows. What is it?

A hui hou,
Eirian
