The Golden Days of YOOOUTH

[proudgreenauror]

Ah, 2007. I have never had such a full, active year except for those heady days of '97.... Its changes, its challenges, the terror and beauty of the passing of time... Goodbye, 2007, we knew ye well!! And hello to the brand new year which even now rolls onto our calendars! 2008 -- ah, 2008!! What MYSTIC CHORDS OF FORTITUDE AND GRACE are heralded by this brand new calendar page? By the London parades on these cold, damp nights?

I know one thing and one thing only.

As one year ends, another begins. I've lived every second of 2007 to the limit, but NO MORE. This... is the END. And as I put one year behind me, another begins anew!!! Today marks another blazing milestone in magical history, for the Wizarding World's prideful green Auror trainee has NOW TURNED NINETEEN!!!! *PROUD GREEN POSE*


..and we have a stealth training practical today. So I have to spend my birthday in a state of utter invisibility.

AAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHH!!!!!
But if it gets me closer to my goal, IT'S WORTH IT!!!


[[Backdated to New Year's Day. Happy birthday to Gai!]]
