Being a news reporter is a load of bollocks when there is nothing to report but really horrid news lately.
Are things ever going to turn around? If so, I'd like to know when. Preferably soon.

WARDED TO KASIA.Please tell me you weren't at Diagon Alley today. END WARD.WARDED TO GEMMA.I can't believe they'd go after a place like Diagon Alley with so many people there. Well, maybe that's not true. Maybe I can believe it, but I wish I didn't have to. What if we had Cecilia out? Is there nowhere safe anymore?
I hate having to think like this, it's bloody awful, all of it. What do they really think they're accomplishing by all of this?. END WARD.I just don't understand people who would do something like that.

You know what I love? Different news stories! Yeah, yeah, I know every news story is technically different…except I guess when it’s something really big and we cover it over and over and over again (which I’m sure you all just love, right?), but I mean, I really love it when I get to cover something unique, so the VRA demonstration tonight was really cool! It’s just not your average story, you know? I think I really learned a lot tonight, and it was a great time. If you weren’t there, you missed out!
I guess I probably take some things for granted, like how relatively simply it was for me to find a job. A lot of the vampires there tonight were a hell of a lot more qualified than I am, all I can speak is English and, well, Polish, but the Polish is kind of cheating, because my mum was born there, and it’s not like I’m so fantastic at it, especially if I haven’t had to use it in a while. But like…French and German? No way. Latin? Not happening. Greek and Russian?? They don’t even use the same alphabet, so that is so not on.
Makes me feel a little guilty, but then again, I don’t actually feel bad about having a job, because that would be pretty bonkers of me. I just don’t think it’s fair that people or vampires or whatever the case may be who are so skilled still have such a hard time finding a job. That’s just frustrating. It’s not something I ever really thought about before tonight, but it’s definitely not fair.
Go VRA! I let Cecilia try one of the blood-flavoured lollipops Rosmerta was passing around. I think she still prefers cherry (and was a bit disappointed that it was not cherry), but she had a good time sucking on it.

Okay, this is obviously more directed towards those of you with kids, but do you ever get the urge to try some of your kid’s baby food? I mean, usually these urges hit you under pretty specific circumstances. Like say it’s early in the morning before work, you’re still tired, and it’s always called something fun like “banana monkey adventure” and it’s always got really bright packaging. You know it’s just a bunch of mush that your kid doesn’t even like to eat (hence the need for the “here comes the choo choo train!” method), but in a split moment of early morning insanity, you’re almost tempted to try it.
Because that was me this morning. I did not eat any, although Cecilia got enough banana gook on the both of us that I might as well have taken a scoop.
In other news (literally, because we spent a good while looking into it at the WWN) I’m not sure how I feel about my younger sister applying for healer training at St. Mungo’s with all that’s going on. I mean, she has to work and this is what she wants to do, but I kind of wish I could shrink her back down to being like…ten again. Seriously though, my kid sister is getting a job she wants to be a healer! Good news is that if I break myself, I guess she’ll be able to fix me. If she passes or whatever.
WARDED TO GEMMA.So obviously there’s not going to be any rest at my parents’ house until this healer training program business is over. I’m thinking about stopping by and wishing her luck later, though of course I don’t know how stressed out she is over this. All she told me is that “It’s a Big Deal, Ernie, a really Big. Deal.” I hope she’s not like hyperventilating over this or something. It’s not healthy, and she’s supposed to be a healer!
