Journal (n.): a record of events, personal experiences, and thoughts, etc., kept day by day.

To some, life is the opportunity to express who we are. For others, life is the chance to make an eternal imprint on society, while for a few, it’s just something to get through.

My life is a story. Everyday is an adventure to have, a new chapter. This journal of sorts is a record of my life, the bits and pieces that deserve to be saved and pondered upon. My writings are how things are sorted out in my head, so don’t mind the scribblings and the mess.

Also, if you’re reading this, and you aren’t Matthew Fairfax, don’t bother. Surely you have better things to do than pry into my musings. So run along now, and you’re your own life.

This little book was found by yours truly a few days back during a particularly violent thunderstorm. Mind you, the house was pretty much empty, and lacking in anything even resembling a good time, so what did I do? I searched for one, of course! It wasn't too long before I found an entire box of these blank books! Why and how long they had been up there was completely unknown to me, but it definitely had a few inches of dust on it... and they all had 'Fairfax' printed on the insides of the covers. Maybe it was some sort of wedding present from way back when? Anyway, I'm pretty sure that my father doesn't miss them. But just in case, I left the rest up there to continue recollecting the now-floating dust particles. I'll get the rest when I need to, I suppose.

Actually, I might grab one for a photo album for all those pictures I have lying around...

For now,

…I swear, every time I go somewhere, I manage to run into someone that I know. It’d almost call it a curse if it wasn’t such a blessing today.

Despite the horrible weather, I saw Kasey Korin at The Leaky Cauldron today, and we ate soup. And talked. And even snuggled a little.

Have I ever mentioned how cute she is? And she invited me over to play Quidditch with her sometime. I. can’t. wait.

This is going to be amazing. I am the luckiest guy in the world.

And I'm back at Hogwarts. Mehh. I don't really want to be here. I don't want to go to CLASSES. Hogwarts itself is pretty awesome. I mean, there's some pretty great people that I haven't seen in a long time... but LEARNING? Ugh. No!

Quidditch tryouts are tomorrow for Gryffindor! I better make the team... If I didn't... well. That would suck. God. It's one of those few things keeping me sane. If I don't make the team, at least I still have my broom here. God, I love flying.

...almost as much as Kasey. I am SO glad I met her in the Leaky Cauldron. She's just so beautiful. and funny. and just overall fantastic.

Jada sent me a note today... Ha, it's like she suspects that I have bad intentions. I -am- going to ask her out, I just have to figure out when. and how.

How did all of this pressure got put on the guys, I'll never know.

… today was the absolute best day of my life.

Ha, I know what you’re thinking? Method of stupidity and recklessness have I explored today?

Well, I kicked ass on the Quidditch pitch and I am now the third chaser. Yeah, go me. And as a bit of a post party celebration, I explored the locker room.

…and Kasey was sitting out there. Well, not in the locker room. In the middle of the field though. She was doing all these crazy flips and stuff. Maybe she thought the grass would cushion her fall or something if she slipped? But after a while she just kind of flopped over in the grass. So I came up and said hey. And I just kind of winged it.

And I asked her out. And she said yes.

Like I said: on top of the world
