Some Updates
I'd like to apologise first and foremost for the amount of time it's taken me to write this blog. I get ridiculously anxious about how my words come off, because I really love RPing with all of you and I don't want to come across as rude or anything of the sort. If you've got any questions after the blog is done, please let me know, and I will do my best to update the blog with an answer to your question.
Yes, the expansion hasn't been running as smoothly as it should have been. That is on account on all of us in AI going through difficulty in activity at some stage (me with anxiety, Carn with camp, Jaye with personal issues) and I think we'd all like to apologise for that. Time and real life just hasn't been on our side this time, and so t…
Heads Up!
On the 24th of October I am going on a fun residential, not far, but we've been warned there's not really going to be good signal up there and you're not allowed to use your phone in activities, so I figured I might warn you guys. I hope to be able to get on a few times, but the point is to socialise with people and spend time with your friends, so it could be quite limited. The plan is to be back home in the evening of the 27th of October so I'll be back again. :)
Just A Note About Some of My Characters
(Aka, I'm not sure I can RP them right anymore.)
Emelia Caracciolo She never really got settled in England, and she still desperately misses Piero and Bassano del Grappa. She managed to convince Cathryn to let her transfer to a school in Italy where they can continue their search from home ground.
Feli Fiedler Her dad got sick a while ago. She'll be going home for some time at the end of the semester to look after him and be homeschooled by a tutor. (AKA, I don't yet know if she's coming back.)
Audi Evans Audi's going to be moving to Durmstrang at the end of the semester. She doesn't feel too great and doesn't know how much seeing Eeku is going to help her move on.
Luciana Montagna She wants to at least try living in Italy again. She doesn't know…
My Upcoming Situation
So, I feel really bad since so many people are becoming less active of late, but you guys deserve a heads up.
My summer finishes on September 5 (I will likely be absent most of August 25, my results day) and I will, hopefully if the results are good, be starting sixth form on this date. At this given moment I intend to take up four A Levels, which is a large commitment and I need to be prepared to take it seriously. I need to do at least the number of hours of class time in home study throughout the week, presumably plus homework. So this might lead to me being less active than I would like. Whether stepping down is needed I will gauge once I have started and have some idea how much of my time will need to be committed to schoolwork.

Something For You Guys
I love you guys, and sometimes I think it's lost on a lot of people exactly how much I mean that. So, I decided to tell you again that I love you more than Kate Mara, sharks love blood - no, my obsessions will not find their way into this blog, because I'm serious about it, although both of the above are true. So I've decided to write down what DARP, and you guys, mean to me.
- welcoming. I've never felt spurned, left out or excluded from the group. I've always felt so...wanted here, and that's always given me a warm fuzzy feeling.
- a community. We're all Harry Potter superfans knitted together in a beautiful and wonderful way. We've all grown close.
- accepting and kind. When I told you guys what was probably the hardest thing to tell anyone ever, y…
