Hi! My name is Chelsea, I am a Slytherin and I love musicals!

Favorite musical? :) Mine is probably Les Miserables.

silver wand sparks. the smell of fresh cookies. lace. a leopard Animagus. the eerie sound of singing in an empty corridor. piano music. studying in the common room. essence of dittany. cool autumn evenings.

I agree, but I understand the frustration athletes feel towards athletes who have been involved in doping. Also, she made those comments because journalists were hounding her into saying something against her.

Yeah I do get the frustration for sure. And I’m in no way like, saying that they shouldn’t be upset for the way the doping is being handled. They should! for sure! I dunno. I just feel weird about the way she handled it. Though I did not know about the journalists hounding her (and I’m not really sure that excuses it either)

fairy lights,1975, black nail polish, plants, sunrise, piercings, bands

fairy lights: if a crystal ball could tell you the truth about anything, what would you want to know?Oh gosh I was asked this by my coworkers last month and i didn’t have an answer. This question mostly just stresses me out lol because I don’t want to know just one thing? Like it’s too much pressure on one thing. So idk. Sorry…

1975: what is the first happy memory that comes to mind, recent or otherwise?Recently, legit just like all of July, like my job and my team were just so so good, like I was so happy all month in a way I hadn’t been in a while. Otherwise, probably the happiest day of my life was the day we took the girls in Ukraine to the city centre because they were just so happy all day, and I was so happy all day (all summer, last summer is probably the happiest time of my life) and it was just so so good in so many ways.

black nail polish: do you have a bucket list? if so, what are the top three things?I doooo but it is in Waterloo haha! So I’ll just do some off the top of my head? plant a tree (which I just realized I can cross off! woo!), see it (the tree) 10 years later, get MBTI certified.

plants: pick a person to stargaze with you and explain why you picked them.Answered already!

sunrise: pick a quote and describe what it means to you personally.Any quote? okay. I keep this one on my desktop: “You get a strange feeling when you’re about to leave a place, like you’ll not only miss the people you love but you’ll miss the person you are now at this time and place, because you’ll never be this way ever again.“ This one resonates a lot because there have been times in my life when I’ve been in places where I am at my best at the time, and feel the best - LIT at camp, sort of first year at SJ, Ukraine, my job last month. And leaving is always so hard because I’m afraid of losing that person, you know? There’s this thing Brene Brown talks about how it’s hard when you know you’ve been your most authentic self because anything less than that feels like you’ve failed. I’m so scared of losing that person that I become and that I know I can be. I’m not really sure how that perfect blend comes together where I can become that person. And I guess I’ve been learning and working to understand that your best self looks different in different places and you have to kind of fight to be that person.

piercings: do you wear a lot of makeup? why/why not?I’ve had such a stupidly complicated relationship with make up in my life ugh. These days, I fill in my eyebrows and wear some mascara almost every day, and eyeliner most days tbh. I don’t really ever do anything beyond that. Eyeshadow for fancy occasions. Partially it’s because I don’t know how to do more than that, partially it’s because my face reacts with most make up, partially it’s because i’m too cheap to buy make up. Mostly it’s because I don’t really want to wear more. I like the way the make up that I wear looks and I don’t really feel like putting more than that. I’m not really happy about why I started wearing make up at all (I felt gross compared to the people around me) but I wear it for me now and I am good with that because I don’t feel like I need to be wearing it to leave the house or anything.

bands: talk about a song/band/lyric that has affected your life in some way.There’s this lyric in Noah Gundersen’s Honest Song that says “so be good with what you’re given / for it’s all you have to give” and when I registered that lyric it like stopped me because that’s kinda how I try to look at life. Like I am so privileged and I have so much and so many good opportunities and I feel like having that just puts such a responsibility on me to give back.

THANKS CHELS THIS WAS FUN

Oh no!!!! I am so sorry to hear than :( Do you have any memory of your ideas? Maybe you could try using pintrest or making a blog to store some ideas?

Thanks Chels <3 I remember a few, and I do have a pinterest board that isn’t quite exhaustive of all my ideas. It’ll probably come back to me slowly but surely, but i was just a bit devastated when I realized what I had done... room for more creativity and ideas I guess?

5. Do I celebrate Christmas?Indeed I do!

10. top 4 things I want to do this ChristmasI want to spend lots of time sitting in the chalet when we go skiing just READING lots. I want to take far too long on Christmas morning opening presents because spending that time with my family is always always always my favourite part of Christmas. I want to help my mom not totally stress out. I want to make sure I take the time to appreciate things and especially my family tomorrow and on Christmas Day.

15. Christmas is a time for _____ (fill in the blank)Love and family and appreciating what you’ve got and making sure people know you love them.

16. Would I rather it be freezing cold and snowing during the Christmas season, or be kind of warm out?SNOOOOOW. There’s no snow this year and it’s breaking my heart.

20. anybody you’re hoping waits under the mistletoe for you?Yes, and they will not be there.

25. how long did you believe in santa for?Hmmm I don’t know if I actually know the exact age. It was still in the old house when I stopped so definitely before grade four when I stopped. But there was a year I was questioning, and I made a secret list and my parents figured out what it was and got me those presents and so I believed in Santa one more year.

THANKS CHELS

thelastmanipulation yeah!! I just found out about it on facebook, one of my classmates linked to it! apparently they've performed it before (a few years ago) and this is a reunion performance! How have we never heard about this?? You'd think that we, of all people, would have known about this
