Cara 'CJ' Summerby

( Application for Cara Summerby )

You know what I haven't had in ages? Candy apples. Or like, toffee apples. Or just like, apples dipped in awesome, sticky, sweet stuff to make them taste even awesomer, even though your hair flies into your face and gets stuck on the apple. They always look better than they taste, but now I really want one.

Question.

~Devlin & Summerby siblings

So, you're aging soon. Is there anything in particular you'd like for your birthday? Prosthetic hip?

I've never been happier not to be doing the Olympics. Have you SEEN Bitten today? I bought two of each! AND I'M NOT SHARING!

~Rowland

Except with you, because you're special. What time should I expect you? I've decided dinner would be a bit distracting. We can eat after later if we want. Cupcake?

~Summerbys, born or wed

This is going to suck Are you coming to Nice? Because I should probably tell you something.

~FRIENDS & FAMILY

THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO, PEOPLE! Charity's friend said we can use her house in Nice. It's a bloody enormous house, but there probably aren't enough rooms for everyone. I figure we can share rooms. We probably won't be sleeping much anyway.

So, who wants to come? I'd just like to get an idea of numbers. Bring your wife, bring your kids, whatever. Actually, no kids, CJ is getting her drink on and does not want to be censored.

I'm dying to get into the sun and onto a surfboard. CAN YOU TELL I'M EXCITED?

I popped over to mum and dad's today to bring over some more of my notebooks that I'd delivered there while travelling, and I found this in my wardrobe. I'd forgotten all about it!

My dream home. Isn't it creepy? I made it when I did that Architecture course. Our end of year project was to make a scale model of a building. We had to do up the blue prints and mechanical drawings, and write up a report on every little detail in the building process as though it was going to exist, so there couldn't be any faults.

As much as I love sketching, my favourite part of the whole project was physically making the little building. It was SO irritating, and I had to start over more than once, but it was so satisfying when I was done. I built it from the inside out, so it has little rooms with fireplaces and windows and everything.

Now if only I could fit.

~FAMILY & FRIENDS

October, the sneaky bitch, has come upon me very quickly. Even though I don't feel in the slightest bit ready for it, my birthday is approaching. Something about 28 is freaking me out. I don't like that narrowing space between me and 30.

Anyway. I want to do something different. I usually just latch on to Halloween, since my birthday is on the 29th, but my birthday is actually on a Saturday this year, so it might be nice to do something on the day. I sort of want to assert my youthfulness and go surfing, but short of leaving the country, I don't think embracing icy Irish water is the way to go. Although Kerry is supposed to have wicked waves this time of the year.

Would anyone like to do some sort of fun activity that doesn't just dissolve into drinking? That part can come later, but I'd like to do something different, too. Something fun.

I haven't seen Halloween since I was in America, and I just about peed my pants then. Either from laughter or fear, I can't remember, but I think I have my bladder under control and would really love to see it tonight. Who else is going? I love a good scream.

~ELEANOR

I need to talk to you about something. Are you busy?

~CHARITY

I've got a secret.

You know what? Miracle of life is pretty gross. Even when it's a unicorn foal. She was very cute once she was cleaned up, though.

To all the people experiencing random sightings of frogs - they're welcome here at the Sanctuary, if you're able to get your hands on them. If anyone needs help with some frog wrangling, give me a Floo call and I'll come out and help. I hate to think of animals outside of a normal habitat for themselves. Poor little things must be terrified.

To everyone else - I'd like some opinions about something that's on my mind. My sister and I are not all that fussy about this, but I'm curious to see what you think. Would you date a person older/younger than you, and if so, how far would you go in either direction? People of Dunmoody, discuss!

Bit by a Niffler today. It was only a nip, but damn, I'm getting a little bruise! Note to self: remove all jewellery during feeding hours. I mean really, that just goes without saying. So bloody thick this week.

Wanna play a game?

I'm pretty sure there is a name for this disorder I have. I have this awful affliction whereby I mimic the accent of whoever I am talking to without even meaning to. If I'm in a foreign country, Merlin help me, I can pass for a local person in no time.

Why am I so bothered about this? Well, because I work in Wales. I'm going to have to punish myself whenever I use a sentence "Oh, I'm not being funny but...," or, "I'm not going to lie to you...," or "Where for to she now?" Not to mention using slang like "tidy" or "crackin'" on a regular basis.

Here's hoping I come back from Paris with a more sophisticated accent. Yep. Paris. I have the best brother ever. What could be better than Paris than Quidditch in Paris?

All I wanted to do was reheat my dinner. Somehow, it all ended up on the ceiling. Had to be spaghetti bolognese, didn't it? Sorry Mr Landlord, I will make sure it doesn't leave a stain!

Who wants to adopt-slash-feed me? Take pity on me, my dinner is on the CEILING.

WARDED TO TERENCE HIGGS

Mr Higgs,

My name is Cara Summerby. I hope you don't mind me addressing you over the journals, but a friend of mine told me you had a flat for rent above your business. I'm hoping to move to Dunmoody as soon as possible, and would love it if I could view your flat, please?

I just want to put it on public record, citizens of Dunmoody, that I'm not just moving here because my family lives here. I'm not even just moving here because I had the best fish and chips of my life today. No, I am moving here for that Quidditch Pitch. It's so beautiful, it brought a tear to my eye. Good job, Dunmoodians!
