Guess what I did today? I went shopping at Goodwill with the rest of the costuming club, and I got my Hufflepuff outfit in one fell swoop. I got a black knee-length skirt, I already had a shirt, and there was a gold tie. Okay, the tie had blue stripes, but a bit of sharpie marker dealt with that. I tried it all on, and I looked like a Hufflepuff! *grins madly*
I also got this beautiful charcoal grey shirt. It's got one of those Mandarin collars, and it's sort of a tunic, as it reaches down to mid thigh. It's really pretty and silky.
I love shopping at Goodwill, you can get all of this for under ten dollars.
In other news, I have started the second skein of yarn on Grandmommy's blanket. I'm still getting random compliments from strangers on it, which makes me feel good.
And Hogsmeade continues apace. I might write one of the essays, I have an outline of it at least, but that'll wait till Sunday. Of the events I've done today, I'm proudest of the song I wrote for the Head Girl contest #1. What we had to do was rewrite the lyrics to one of the songs the head girl had chosen. I did "Moon Over Bourbon Street". It's totally different from anything I've ever written before, and right now I'm not sure if that's bad or good. I just know that that was the song that needed to be written with that prompt. Maybe after the contest is over, if anybody wants to see it, I'll post it.
