Well, I've been absent for, ah, a long time, yes, but I do have a good excuse. I was, uh, I was kidnapped by international terrorists. Yeah, that's it! And I spent the last two months held hostage in an obsucre cave in Iraq with no plumbing or electricity. I barely managed to escape with my life, and every day I prayed that I would someday be able to view this journal again, and... uh... well... okay, not really.

I obviously wasn't kidnapped by terrorists, and I don't have a good excuse. I've been busy since school started (and I think JXB's French classes are about to kill me!) but for the last month or so of summer, I was just really lazy. Not to mention depressed by the end of Half-Blood Prince. Deaths of cool, courageous, quirky, funny, well-loved father figures will do that to you, I guess.

Oh, and I do have one good excuse for the past week or so! I've been dodging hurricanes! First Katrina, then Rita. Cripes, why does God hate Louisiana?
