I have decided to move some of my things back home and stay with my parents until things calm down a bit. This will also make some of my research easier as I will not be looking over my shoulders constantly.
This is a very well thought out decision and not one totally motivated by fear. Not in the slightest what so ever. And who doesn't enjoy farm life, it's very simple. I enjoy simple.

I always enjoy opening my journal and reading about people's food experiments and preferences. It's very interesting.

I was so sure I did not want to be healer. I was going to study human nature, the study of man, or wizard or witch, we're all humans really. The WWN was my stepping stone to do something else, something better. Not better than healing, it's a very noble profession of course, it just wasn't for me.
Its a war, its a bloody war and things are going to happen and people are going to collide. And idiots have journals in which they proclaim they don't want to be healed by a muggle born healer or they have some other close minded opinion. And that sort of thing is learned and passed down and you want people to change, but maybe they can't. Maybe this is far beyond my comprehension level and I'm a sheltered little girl who was raised on a farm with weird parents playing anthropologist.
Maybe I could go back to the farm and live there happily. I could raise herbs and livestock and make my own clothes and food and everything else. I think Tilden could be happy doing the same. Getting out of London wouldn't be awful. Or I would find myself bored and wish I were traveling. Its not a claustrophobic life, its just an isolated one.
Life among the muggles seems very stupid right now. Its begging for trouble and I don't care for courting trouble much. Not much more than a normal person courts trouble. There is no beauty in courting trouble, despite what people think.
I'm discontent and questioning and wishing that every time I turned on the wireless I wasn't disappointed. Its all become very action and reaction in the world. That's not a place I want to be.

I made wheat germ pancakes tonight for dinner, I don't think Tilden enjoyed them as I did. They did have nice texture though.

A new Mexican Restaurant opened in Diagon Alley? It seems I haven't been paying any attention to my surroundings what so ever. I really do like Mexican, I wonder if how their guacamole is, good guac is the gauge of a good Mexican restaurant.

I rather like living in London on my own, its different than the farm in spades. But my parents are starting to worry and I'm starting to worry. Tilden isn't as worried as he should be, but he never is. He tends not to show his emotions freely though, its very manly of him. Granted he doesn't always have the most stereotypical of male interests, I find it charming. That isn't the point of things though, the point of this entry is to voice concerns of the ever growing, nearing threat of the war.
My parents would be happy if I came back home for a bit to the farm. It would be a floo away from work, so it wouldn't be exactly inconvenient. Its always nice being on the farm as well, home cooked food, home spun clothing. The garden is just starting to be workable. And of course the new lamb. It's something to think about really. No need to rush into a decision just yet.

I'm thinking of painting my flat, it's rather bland to be perfectly honest. I haven't really done anything to it since I've moved in. Aside from the little standard things of course. I like calming colours that compliment everything. Blues, greens and beiges. Tilden and I are going to look at some swatches tomorrow after work and see if we can find something we can agree on. He is very easy to please though, I don't think it will be a problem.
There is the sweetest stray cat that hangs around my building. He'll come right up to you and let you pet him. I checked for a collar, but he doesn't appear belong to anyone. I'm entertaining taking him to a veterinary healer and seeing if he would be safe to adopt. Just a sweet little thing. Perhaps before I become too attached to the idea, I should put up some sort of fliers and see if anyone claims him. Just to be on the safe side of course.

I am so very much looking forward to St. Patrick's Day, not for the normal reasons of drinking dyed green ale and pinching those who aren't wearing green. No one likes that, its embarrassing and sometimes people get a tad overzealous with their pinching fingers. I just like going to the parade in Cork, I love all holidays with parades. There should be more parades in the world.
Being an assistant at the WWN, I have noticed certain people are extremely particular when it comes to their preferences of hot beverages. But not as particular about cold ones. That is curious. I'm going to observe these patterns for a bit and see what comes out of it.

I for one am so looking forward to the spring thaw out. You can put on your rubber wellies and really get out into the garden. Tilden and I are thinking of planting more herbs this year than last. We've gotten quite used to fresh herbs in our dishes and I would like to try my hand at growing them rather than purchasing them. It's so rewarding to eat the things that you grow yourself, there is nothing like fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs. Even slaughtering and preparing your own chicken is excellent. It's one of the things I miss most about home, is not having the farm fresh food I grew up on. I feel I also add that I'm not some crazy animal torturer, I just want that to be clear. It's just nature to use the animals on your farm.
My mother found me the most interesting jumper, I'm going to wear it to work on Monday. It has a donut on it. I like donuts, even though they're full of processed sugars and fats. That doesn't mean they're not tasty or anything though.

It's a little odd, that's all right, the best things usually are.

I think about what sort of motivation one has for the incident on Sunday, to attack innocent people for seemingly without provocation. I think we'd have to break down why we fight in wars and start wars. Fear is always number one on every list because we fear what we don't understand. We don't understand the muggle world and they certainly don't understand us. And they have a healthy does of fear on their side as well.
I don't understand muggles either, I can want to learn everything about them and insert myself into their world, but I don't know their motivations and their expectations of us. I don't understand pure-blood society either though and their obsession with tradition and their hatred for muggles. I don't understand a lot of things.
I suppose that's why we put forth our research question. I only wish I had a concrete one.

I'm making jam this weekend with my mum, pears, peaches and plums. It should be rather delicious and I'll have enough to last me until I'm thirty. The only clever thing to do is bake a bunch of bread and foist both off on Tilden. As a token of my love of course. Not because I don't want this all hanging around my flat.
