I'm not good at acronyms. Don't try to use them around me. I get very confused.

... Says the guy who's been playing the Sentence Game.
And btw (see what I did there?), MJ is an initialism, not an acronym.

Riiiiight... Windows needs to flip around their yellow and their blue. Then they'd be so much more awesome. Windows:  Hogwarts:  |

Oh, that reminds me, I've still gotta paint "Draco Dormiens Nanquam Titillandus" on the cover of my agenda...

Haha! That's so awesome. You're going to paint it? With paint? Paint doesn't like me very much. I can paint things... but I can't paint designs, pictures, or words. Well a few times I painted some pictures... But I didn't really like them. I'm actually really bad at any sort of drawing. I'm not a very artsy person.

I'm not so good with paints, myself... But I like having those words on the cover, under the shield-thing that's on there. Ooh, maybe I'll even paint the shield over with the Hogwarts crest!!
I consider myself "artsy" but not in the way that media always portrays "artsy people"... Like, people with lots of eyeliner who sink into deep depressions and paint really pretty stuff. I'm more like a poet-artist...

That would actually be so friggin' awesome.
Can I tell you a story. when I was a wee little grade eight, I wanted to make a Harry Potter club. And it would be so awesome. But I was a grade eight so I couldn't because I was a grade eight. But it would be so awesome to create a Harry Potter club. I'm not sure how anyone would go about making a club, but if I could -- I would make one and it would be so awesome and you would be invited and so would anybody else who enjoys Harry potter. And it would be very magical.
I see. Yeah, you seem very artsy. I swear, everything you do is artsy. I'm much more of a science guy. I wanted to take three sciences this year but everybody told me not to, so I didn't -- I only too two, which is still twice as much as most people. Yeah... But I'm in Pre-calculus, which is sort of a science. But I have four artsy courses: Drama, English, Socials and French. So I guess I'm more of an artsy person. Okay, well they're not that artsy. Well drama is. And English sort of is. But socials is more... not. And French is... not...
Does the media portray artists with eyeliner and depression? Like emo children? I haven't really noticed.

Well, you're a grade eleven now. You could prolly start that club, and I'm sure lots of people would join in (I know I would, unless it was during my poetry slam club. That comes first). Did you see how many people participated in Harry Potter Spirit Day last year at our school? Lots. Oh my gosh, I saw this one guy who was dressed up as Mad-Eye Moody, and he had the eye, and the cane, and the cloak, and the limp... It was brilliant.
And yes, I personally think the media portrays artists as people who are edgier than the rest of society, and the way they portray that visually is with an edgier look (i.e. eye liner).

I painted my agenda, today! I did a pretty crappy job, but I'm happy I actually did it.  |

Oh my Rowling I love it so much ;D! It's so EPIC! Now I want to do the same.. But I don't want to just like copy you. Can I do the same? I feel the need to ask permission, because I totally want to do it, but it's your idea so you should be able to have copyrights and such.

I think I have acrylic paints. I'm probably going to mess up though -- so I'll practice on my last year's agenda.

Why, though? That's the beauty of paint- if you mess up, you can just let it dry and paint over you mistake.

Because when I mess up, the whole cover will be a blue splatter.
