Hmm...

Hmm...

*Looks at you,then looks down and kicks imaginary mound of dirt on the ground.*

Some weather we are having eh?

Well,looks like, "I'm gonna blog like I've never blogged before !" is not quite working out.

Trouble is,everything that inspires or draws my ire is already up on Facebook and I want this blog to be a slightly happier place.

Clearly,I've been away from writing for far too long.

You lied, Rowling,you lied

*Rage sob* *Rage sob*

You were supposed to open last year in October.

Then you extended Beta to November.

"Patience is a virtue," I consoled myself.

I risked failing my units, by constantly checking for any signs you were going to open instead of studying.

And when that fateful day came, when the gates of paradise were to be flung open,what awful abomination greeted me instead?

"Since we launched Pottermore, our one million Beta users have given us lots of amazing feedback, and we’ve been collecting their thoughts and comments so that we can make Pottermore the best experience it can be before it opens to everyone.

After looking closely at all the information that we've gathered, we have decided to further extend the Beta period so we can improve Pottermore before giving more people access. This means the site will not be opening to new users in the immediate future, but please know that we will open registration as soon as we can.

So Pottermore will not be opening to new users just yet. For all of you who are waiting to enter Pottermore, we want to thank you for being so patient - we’re working very hard to make some exciting improvements, and we're really looking forward to welcoming you to the site when it’s ready."

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !

And what really gets my demon goat,is that I could have been part of Beta.

You see, some of my friends who are as rabid about Harry Potter as I am,had posted about the Pottermore Beta on Facebook back in mid 2011 and I somehow read past all those status updates and links.

I could have been part of Beta...

I could have been part of Beta...

All I can do now, is froth at the mouth,when I think about my Beta friends frolicking in the promised land.

What do you mean the Mayans were wrong?

It is Harry Potter's sixth year at...Oi ! Mate ! Wrong story...

Hello!

Hell-o!

Hullo !

Once again,I find myself starting up this blog.

Oh wait,some of you are new,aren't you?

Well my name is...sprawled all over the damn blog.

Talk about being a narcissistic wanker.

Anyway...oiniway, I'm a third year Journalism student at Murdoch University in the hobbit village that's known as Perth.

One who is about to graduate.

Uhmm,uhmm.

So, why am I starting up this blog again?

I'm pretty sure most you don't care.

But let's pretend, you do give a little bit of a wizard's trickle.

I've come to the realization, I've not been writing in a long time now.

Sure I've been doing essays,editing other people's work and been really active on Facebook...but a man needs more out of life and so....and so...hmm.

Oh yeah ! That's write ! (See what I did there? hur hur hur Fucking brilliant I say)

I'm gonna blog like I've never blogged before !
