Mousy's Mischief Managed~ Renovating, but OPEN

[Mousy]

I'm back and it was so amazing and I just T_T I wanna go back! Hogwarts is my home!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

ok, so we want to know all the details!

[Mousy]

As soon as I figure out how to get my pictures onto my mac from my android without diminishing the quality, I will be pic dropping like crazy! XD

HP world was SO well done. It has amazing detail and it really felt like you were there. It was a world within a world. It didn't even feel like it was a part of Universal.

I will say that hands down, the absolute HIGHLIGHT of my trip was the wand ceremony. You get to go into Ollivander's in a group of about 28 and someone gets picked to have their wand choose them and go through the whole ceremony. I GOT PICKED! IT WAS ME! I almost cried. It was so amazing! ;-;

[Lemon Cheesecake]

oh my gosh that is so exciting! I'm glad it was you!!! Yeeeaaaahhhh!

[Mousy]

They are loading onto my computer slowly, but surely! XD

[Maro]

THAT SOUNDS SO AVVESOME MOUSY AND CONGRATS ON BEING PICKED!!

[Diana]

What kind of wand chose you, mousy?

Looks like it was a blast.

[Shakespeare]

Ooooh my gosh, so jealous right now!

[Maro]

THAT VVAND IS GORGEOUS /grabbyhands/

[Mousy]

okay, so you all know that I have an extreme love of HP.
I feel like I need to explain why. I promise, I'm not just some crazy person. XD
I started reading the books when I was 8. As in, only the first two books had been released at the time. I got into them because my 3rd grade teacher read half of book one to the class. (she's also the reason I am a teacher today.) I literally grew up with HP because I had to wait between book releases. I was growing older and so was he throughout the books. Some of the social dynamics of the books matched my own because we basically went through puberty together. Anyway, I had a ton of chaos in my life (divorces, moving 7 times, etc.) and those books were a constant for me and really helped shape who I am today. I wouldn't love reading as much as I do now if it weren't for those books, I probably wouldn't have been inspired to become a teacher if it weren't for that teacher inspiring me through books, and I wouldn't have been able to mend familial bonds without them either because they are something that brings my family together and we can enjoy them and bond over them.

So... all that being said, HP series is really near and dear to my heart.

owo aw, that's sweet Mousy! I was around that age as well when they first came out, but I only really got into them later on x3

[Lemon Cheesecake]
