Hauntings in the Tower

I've sighted some ghosts in the dorm! I hope that their "boo"s haven't bothered my roomies, Rowena and Fleur!

With a face like that, though, it's hard to be truly scared. ;)

So my bestest best friend in the entire world is going to be visiting me here at Hogwarts soon! (Note: this is purely a role playing visit...she won't be able to come to Italy until next year at the earliest...) She is a student at Beauxbatons and has been jealous of my talk of the Nutella gelato I got the other day (which is truth! That stuff was gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!!!) and she says she has some news that she says she can't trust to owl post...

In crafting news...I've hit a lull in my spoilee's bag. I really like the look of it, but it's brainless and not challenging at all, so I'm kind of bored with it. I may change the pattern I use as a result. We shall see. I have yet to find a yarn store nearby, and I am beginning to wonder if it's because Muggles can't see the shops and I'm asking the wrong people. Of course, if I would actually ask some locals, I'm sure I'd be more liekly to find one, but I feel so arrogant, ignorant, and extremely egocentric to be talking to Italians in Italy and expect them to speak English to communicate with me...

And may I just say that Knitsy sure is an elf in the know...I wonder how she finds out the things she does... ;)

And I am really looking forward to Hogsmeade this weekend! A visit to the owlery is definitely in order, with all the packages I have to send out...I need to stock up at WWW and Honeydukes! I'm sure I'll be catching up with friends at Madame Rosemarta's. :)
