Tweak says, "Oh captain my captain..."

I can't seem to get my head around what Oliver suggested. The idea of me training to become a teacher. Its - well, its preposterous, isn't it? Teachers have always seemed so..worldly and frankly, none of them were ever under the age of sixty.

I'm signed up to be an apprentice wardsmith, and everything I've learned so far has been useful but I have to wonder if I'm content doing this because I get to practice charms and arithmancy. Would I be happier if I looked into it? It seems so..permanent.

A letter wouldn't hurt, would it?

Its five sleeps until Christmas! Now is the time to try and figure out what I would like to find under the tree.

Problem is ~~except for my family~~ I don't know what I'd like to find. Suggestions?

	I am very sorry about that. ~~Did you throw up then?~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I didn't actually do it, so it's alright. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_penny 2009-12-19 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	Oh thats good. And shows the benefit of drinking moderatly. Besides, I'm much too nice to wish anyone to throw up. I can prove how nice I am. I have references. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heathism 2009-12-19 08:27 pm UTC (link)
	You have personality references? Have you made them up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_penny 2009-12-19 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	Of course not! Why would I make them up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heathism 2009-12-19 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	Well, it seems clever? You can make up people saying whatever you'd need them to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_penny 2009-12-19 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	Oh no. I'd never make it up. I'd simply bribe them. But I don't need to do that simply because I'm a Nice Person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heathism 2009-12-19 08:45 pm UTC (link)
	Are you now. I do think you'll have to prove that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_penny 2009-12-19 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	Oh? And how would one do that exactly? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heathism 2009-12-19 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I do have some ideas, but I'm sure you can come up with something interesting. Unless there's something going on with my mate up there, because then all of my suggestions are completely platonic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_penny 2009-12-19 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	I don't understand why they wouldn't be completly platonic in the first instance. You don't know me. I'm a 76 year old witch with a purple rinse and orthopedic soled shoes. Private to Heath Define 'going on' with Orsino - I presume you mean Orsino. We're acquaintances who fight over Christmas cds, and greasy spoons. I'm working on becoming friends with him.

	heathism 2009-12-19 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	I'm a rockstar? If that happened, I could leave. Besides, Thrusty doesn't have any friends who wear orthopedic shoes. And most of those old biddies wouldn't have tried to get me sick the other night. Private to Penny Hrm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_penny 2009-12-19 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	You're a rockstar? Quick, let me throw my knickers at you. Thrusty??! You call him Thrusty? Can't. Stop. Laughing. Private to Heath Hrmmm? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heathism 2009-12-19 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	Great, I'll add them to the collection. What colour are they? I like to keep things sorted. I do. I don't know that anyone else does, and I'm pretty sure he hates it. Which might be why I keep doing it, but who could tell? Private to Penny Mmhmm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_penny 2009-12-19 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	By colour, size or type? ~~Somehow I can't imagine him as a Thru~~ There is no possible way for me to retort to that without embarassing someone. Possibly myself. Which I try hard not to do. Private to Heath Ahhhh. .... Well, I definatly felt the earth move. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heathism 2009-12-19 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	Colour first, then type. Size doesn't really matter that much, though. Private to Penny Well, I do try to make people defiant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh thats good. So many people don't appreciate proper bloomers these days. In that case, they're purple with yellow and black splodges, and I buy them from the same maker as Madame Maxime.

Private to Heath

~~Definitely! I meant definitely as you well fine know! Do you know what its like for a 'Claw to be corrected on spelling?~~

Defiant? You don't seem to be succeeding.

	Brilliant. Owl them over. And I have no idea who Madame Maxime is? Private to Penny Drop your quill? Spill some ink? I think I'm doing better than you give me credit for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know exactly what you mean by "going on", and no. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Orsino heathism 2009-12-19 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	Are you angling for it, because I'm just having fun to make up for her trying to make me sick the other night. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Heath oneandtwoand 2009-12-19 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	Dunno. And she seems to enjoy those sorts of...games. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Orsino heathism 2009-12-19 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	Well, if you're interested, I'll back off. I've got enough on my plate right now anyway. She's fiesty, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Heath oneandtwoand 2009-12-19 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	I said I don't know! Feisty is probably a good word for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Orsino heathism 2009-12-19 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	Well, don't get so up about it. She seems like she likes you. Teasing you and all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Heath oneandtwoand 2009-12-19 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	I think she would do that to anyone, from what I've seen. Do you fancy me, too? And here I thought all these years of teasing was just friendly regard... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
