((I have to finish this later. If you like the ghost idea, let me know. Otherwise, I might change it.))

Do you have a confession you're just dying to confess? A secret you just can't hold? Well here ye are.  A topic dedicated to that.  Im curious to see what will come up lol.

[All students please report to the Great Hall as the Graduation Ceremony will begin momentarily."]

((I forgot to make a topic for Sky's Graduation lol. So...yeah..))


"Well Mom and Dad..., I made it." A soft voice whispered in one of the hallways where class pictures were posted. Sky stood there smiling warmly as her parents waved at her, both on different sides of the frame with their caps in the air.

"All students please report to the Great Hall as the Graduation Ceremony will begin momentarily." A voice rang our across the school.

  "Any remaining seventh years must report immediately."

Sky looked up and then back at her parents' picture. "Goodbye." She said before sprinting down the hall in her Scarlet and Gold gown.

Is this a...a...dream?
      It must be.
This can't possibly be real..
      Can it?
     
I had never felt so content. So warm. So comfortable. Atleast from what I recall. I have never felt such a feeling. My eyes were drinking in the details before me, absorbing them. I was in a world of vibrant color and lights. Where was I? 
  I felt light. Like a feather. I took a step forward in my white dress, walking on what seemed like only air. I was afraid that I would fall and so I stumbled and fell. But I fell on something hard. I looked down, searching for what saved me from falling to my death, but all I could see were colors. Spots of pink and baby blue. And as I looked up, I could see a dazzling ball of green flame. My instincts told me to reach out to it. So I did. I touched it and felt, so my surprise, not a burning feeling, but a tickling sensation. I pulled my fingers away, closing them into a loose fist. I stared at the flame for a moment before quickly sending my hand through it with one swift motion. The same tickling sensation went through my finger tips. I was so confused. Where exactly was I? What kind of dream is this?


((Yupp. Just a thought in my head I was having for a story, so I'm putting it here to save it. I hope to continue sometime. Like my title? It's clever XD. Oh how I love study halls..))

So, tomorrow is Mother's Day. A day that we celebrate our mothers for being there for us and popping something the size of a watermelon out of something the size of a lemon.  XDDDD Enough said. You get the point.  So what are you doing for your mother(or Step-mother)?

I'm pretty much broke and jobless, so I guess I'm going to try to make breakfast. This means:

I have to learn to cook by 5 AM.
I have to figure out what I'm going to cook. Haha.
I'm probably pulling an all nighter so I can be up when she gets up. ((My parents are up at like 5 and 6 AM.... Why? I dunno..))

I'm sorry if you aren't one who celebrates this holiday due to a loss or divorce. 

Feel free to post song lyrics here. Just remember to put what the artist is. If they are explicit, use ******* =)

i'm confused
i find hope when

i hope to lose myself
for good
i hope to find it in the end
not in me ... me
in You

                                                         -Erin McCarley-
"Love, Save The Empty"

Little girls don't know how to be sweet girls.
Mama didn't teach me.
Little boys don't know how to treat little girls.
Daddy didn't show me.

Face down, on top of your bed.
Oh why did I give it up to you?
Is this how I shoot myself up high,
Just high enough to get through?

Again, the false affection.
Again, we break down inside.
Love save the empty.
Love save the empty, and save me.

Sad boy, you stare up at the sky
When no one's looking back at you.
You wear your every last disguise;
You're flying, then you fall through.

Again, the false attention.
Again, you're breaking inside.
Love save the empty.
Love save the empty, save me.
Love save the empty.
Love save the empty.

Stars feel like knives,
They tell us why we're fighting.
Storm, wait outside.
Oh, love, hold us together.

Love, save the empty.
Love, save the empty.
Love, save the empty.
Love, save the empty, and save me.
And save me.

She couldn't believe it. She really just couldn't believe it. How fast had time gone? Just a year ago she was new to this school and couldn't wait for her graduation. But now...she wanted it to go slower. In nearly two months she would receive a diploma and be done with Hogwarts. She would no longer be a student to attend here. She was already an adult.

Sky laid back onto the soft, warm, freshly cut grass that covered the few hills on the school grounds. She closed her eyes tight and groaned. "Too fast...." She mumbled, placing the back of her wrist over her shut eyes as the sun beat down on her. Today was particularly warm. April had been rather bi-polar so far, having a few showers and a little snow. Today was nice though. Nice enough to wear a black tank top and some green shorts like she did. Sky kicked off her shoes and let down her hair from a pony tail, listening to the sounds of the lake further along the grounds, trying to relax her racing mind.

There were just so many thoughts. She struggled to think about what would happen after school. Would she move around here? Or would she leave the area--travel a little? Should she pursue furthering her schooling? Or perhaps start a job right after. She didn't even know what she really wanted to do. Well...she kind of did. She never thought about it before, but she actually considered being a traveling doctor or...to draw. She loved to play her guitar and sing though. But that wasn't where her heart was..at least for now..

She groaned again. "Too fast...too fast." She mumbled again, repeating the words to herself as if it could slow things down. But that wouldn't happen. Sky sat up suddenly and looked up at the clouds, as if expecting a sign to lead her down her path.



((Yupp...felt like typing a lot today. A lot of pointless stuff haha.))

Sky sat in a chair at a table by herself at the Hog's head. She wore a black t-shirt and light blue jeans with her black converse, her black hair curled at the ends. There was a glass on the table of some odd alcoholic beverage. She was seventeen and was old enough to have herself a real drink. She felt today was a good day for one. She had too much stress.

Exams were arriving. Then Graduation. Then...what was next? What did she have ahead of her? She hadn't decided on a career nor a place to settle down to. And summer was coming much too fast. What would happen after she graduated? Would her friends still talk to her? She brought the glass to her lips and took a decent sized gulp, bringing it back down to wipe her lips.

Sky was quietly walking through the grounds of Hogwarts, the grass slightly damp from the morning rain. It was now slightly warm out, a little humid. Her long black hair frizzed a little at the top. She wore a gray hoodie and black shorts with her black converse. Her classes were over and she had absolutely nothing to do. She was dreadfully bored. She looked around. Not a person was in sight. Nobody to talk to. Nobody to walk with. Just her shadow. She sighed and stuffed her hands into her pockets and began heading for the lake.

Hiya guys!

Well...I'm currently in a band called Nguyen with my two friends and was wanting to know what you think about us. Just follow the link in my profile.

But just understand that we certainly aren't pros and that I am WAY off beat with my drums. Also, our recording equipment sucks. Lol. Anyway, we're a basement band and hope you enjoy it.

She stood with her face against the cool hard glass of the tea shoppe. Her hand just above it, feeling the cold with her warm hands. Her fingers tingled with the icy touch. The rain outside was loud and fast, rapidly hitting the walk and any person outside.  She watched as little drops struck the glass with a loud tap. It looked as if each drop would come and hit her in the face. But no. It would stop when it hit the window and then slide down.

She smiled to herself. She thought about the change in weather. How the transition from Winter to Spring reminded her of her old self. So cold and bitter..now warmer and more gentle. She was so much more patient these days. She felt like...she was someone now. Like she knew who she was.

A tear slid down her cheek. A tear that let the rest of her remaining pain and heartache slip away like the rain on the window pane. She was happy. Truely happy. Sky wiped her eyes and pushed herself forward, so she was sitting up, and then bent to sip her steaming cup of tea.


((So yeah..dramatic. But I was bored and just woke up. I feel asleep during The Dark Knight lol. ))

Standing alone by the window in the Gryffindor Tower, Sky stared out into the dark moonlit mass of purple and black. The sky smelled like rain and the tree's blew as the wind picked up. She put her face as close to the window as possible, illuminated by moonlight,  the window cold with the air outside. She wore her pajamas, red fleece bottoms with black stripes, and a black t-shirt.

She couldn't sleep tonight. She had so many of these nights that she was used to it by now. But when she couldn't sleep, she had to get out of the dormitories. She had to do something to calm her body. She sighed as the rain started to hit the ground outside.

Tap Tap Tap it went against the window, drops forming on the glass. She could hear ghosts talking as they strolled through the castle but they would never tell on her.

Hiya!

Well I am starting my own site here soon and was wondering if you have any suggestions.

It is entitled "Land of Literacy" XD ((LoL for short. I know the name is odd))

And it's basically a site for rping and writing stories.

My ideas are that people with good RPing skills will be allowed into certain boards while people who half "donkey" it will only be allowed into a few boards.

Example: I could have password only boards for the advanced and leave the rest to the others.

Does this sound a little mean? Or is it okay? I figure it's a good way to get people started on good literacy while having fun.

But it's also just a site meant for hanging out and talking.

Ideas are loved!

Sky hated Valentines day. Was there a point to it? A person goes all out spending their coins on cards and stuffed animals just to tell somebody that they cared about them? Why was this different from any other day?

She stood on the hall, leaning by the window. She wore her school uniform. Traditional white dress shirt, pants, and a cloak.  It was about lunch time now, but she wasn't really hungry. She watched as students strolled down the halls with a handful of cards ready to be passed out to friends and admirers. One girl walked by with her friend, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, her face red.

"Can you believe it?! Robert! Of all people!" Then a fit of giggles. It was beyond annoying.


She adjusted her school bag and started down the hall, heading for the libary. Surely there would be a lack of balloons and cards there...

She stood near the shore of the lake, the ice frozen over in a thick layer with a new blanket of snow falling silently over it. She was wrapped in a warm black coat with a red scarf around her neck and a red hat pulled over her long black hair. Her hands were shoved into her pockets in an attempt to keep them from being numb.

"It's hard to believe..that this is my last Winter here." Sky said aloud. She figured nobody was listening. She heard nothing but the light howl of the wind.

I think I'm getting close to leaving HPF.
But I don't want to.

Come on guys! Step it up! Learn to write! This place is going down hill fast.
We're already losing people. I know I'm not exactly popular so it probably doesn't matter if I leave, but still.

That's one more person.

The wind blew harshly as Sky walked through the small walk way of Hogsmead, searching for a place to get warm. It happened to be snowing. It was called for a blizzard and students were advised to stay indoors, but Sky wanted out of the school.

She shivered as she walked up to a small cafe and opened the door. She took a seat near the fireplace and took off her warm black fleece jacket. She wore a red sweater with thick black stripes and light blue jeans with her black boots. She placed her bag on the floor and pulled out a book. It was her Transfiguration book and she needed to study for her upcoming test. She opened it toward the middle and began to read about how to transform a dresser into a car.


Interesting..

What has happened to HPF?


Can anyone explain why it's not even Harry Potter anymore?
It's about relationships and bad histories with a bunch of newbs.

I have a sudden urge to draw something. Nothing too difficult. I like cartoon like stuff and anime works. I can try to draw characters if you want. I dunno.


I also need a story. No Harry Potter stuff.

Sky stood outside the castle somewhere between the forest and the lake. There wasn't that much snow on the ground but it was still bitter cold. The wind blew harshly, nipping at her rosy colored cheeks. She was wearing a dark gray zip up hoodie and light blue jeans. She looked around as her long black hair whipped into her face.

Ugh. She thought as she pushed it away, only to be whipped back. She was bored. She actually didn't have a reason to be out here. She was hoping to find something to keep her entertained. The students in the school were still on break, so there were no classes until after New Years.
