Leave a comment voting on my punishment (and suggesting more punishments for Kelly and I). I'm going to make a Harry Potter themed cake, but should I be forced to watch other people eat it or have to eat the entire thing myself in one sitting?

Whoa, wait it's in October? I thought it was in February? I don't know how I feel about Black History Month and LGBTQ month being the same month. Kind of like one steals the other's thunder in a way. But maybe because I'm neither I can't really comment but idk.

@alucidminute Well, I guess since it's not in February it isn't stealing the thunder because, yeah, that seems not cool somehow. I actually had thought Coming Out Day was in February as well so there must be something we're forgetting about that happens then... But October is definitely LGBT History Month this year :]

This is amazing. You speak with such courage and conviction, thank you.

I have started a Harry Potter Fan club at my school, but I want to get involved with the Harry Potter alliance. Do you have any suggestions?

[thehpalliance]

@mollypotter15 Yes! We have chapters all across the world in schools and communities. You should go to our site at thehpa . org / chapters to find out how to start your own. -Lauren

@thehpalliance Ha ha Oh, I see. Well, even with a script, everything you had to say and the way you carried yourself was really impressive! (That dang window reflection! ha ha) And don't take this in a creepy way, but you're cute too! :] And even though you're not articulate on-the-spot (very few people are!), you still have a great personality and view on life! Good luck with everythin'!

[thehpalliance]

@akpokemon Oh no no no! I have a script! I just memorize most of it before I say it so I'm not like looking at a computer screen even though it sort of looks like I am because of the window reflection on my glasses. Dude, I wish I were that articulate without planning! -Lauren
