Monica Ballantyne

Seriously, I can hear banging. What the fuck is that? If someone's starting something, I will not be happy. I have an early class, for a start.

I know you're all utterly burning to find out what I did with my Saturday, and who am I to disappoint? I did the following things: went shopping, fixed my wardrobe for the next week and went to see Watchmen. And babes, I have no idea what people were talking about - I LOVED IT!

Maybe a touch too much aquawang in it for my liking, but you can't win them all. That said, I don't know if it's just me...but did anyone else think that our trusty Night Owl is a fine hunk of man? And doesn't he look just a touch like what the upstanding young Simon Leibowitz might some day grow up to see? I can definitely see Simon's future in that man's face.

Simon, sweetbread: if you grow up to look like that? You and me might have some kind of future!


FYI, magic people. I restocked the fridge with some things: please don't use it all at once, because I have ways of finding out the greedy ones, and if I have to discipline then I will.

This weekend, my two most delicious guys, I am in the mood for drinks and partying. Fortunately for me, this prayer has been answered in the form of an invitation from a college friend of mine. BASICALLY, he is throwing a party and wants me to come. He also wants me to bring some people I think could spice the night up: obviously I'm not going anywhere without my Michigan, and I know how sparky you get Alvin.

Question One: Who else? Ideally, let's only invite one or two more because a) I am exclusive and b) the teleporter I'm hiring can only port up to five people without exploding or something. Enlighten me, honeys: I'm offering free drinks and the loss of my good sense for one night only.

I do not love thee! - no! I do not love thee!
And yet when thou art absent I am sad;
And envy even the bright blue sky above thee,
Whose quiet stars may see thee and be glad.

Settling in to a place like this can't be done in just one week, you know. Goodness knows how everybody managed to accustom themselves to this network in a snap, but -- well, here you all are! And here I am, finally catching up with the trends like the proverbaial Betty-Come-Lately. My name's Monica, and most people end up calling me 'Djinn' because it's two syllables less and goodness, but you can't be expected to go to all that much trouble just to remember something as silly as someone's name! I'm a Third year Magic, and for some reason didn't get made an RA, but I'm SURE that it completely looking forward to spending my last year here at Neopolis - Olympia was lovely, of course, but this is all new! And fresh! And...well, a little spooky for my tastes but it's still somewhat like my aunt's house, so I'll cope.

OK! So I'm doing (P.D. of course like everyone else!), Arcane Lang III, Blessing Rits, Curses and Hexes, Armed Combat and Quantum Phys. I know, right? Mixed bag, but then so am I! Not a mixed bag, that sounds like some gross old woman, but I'm a little bit of everything and-- I'm getting away from myself. I do that. If anyone needs anything -and this goes out to the whole campus, but I expect mostly my fellow Magic-ers will benefit- just ask, and I'll do my best to provide. I feel so...protective, and I don't know why! I think it's these unnatural divisions. It fosters community spirit or something. Did I mention I'm a genie? I probably should. People kept finding out at Oylmpia, and the surges in popularity really started to annoy me. Let's just assume it's not as much fun as you think it is, and I can avoid the avalanche of insincere invitations. Thanks! ♥

Quick question: which of you wonderful young men a) are in Hand-to-Hand Combat, and b) would be interested in performing a service for me?

Mr Aladdin, sir!
