| 3:06 pm | Finally am enough in the black to be able to afford a fifth waitress (or waiter) so anyone looking for work who doesn't mind long hours, sore feet and American food should stop by. |

| 1:55 am | I'm feeling a lot of House pride today so anyone who comes in with an old Gryffindor tie gets half off. I expect to see everyone here and if I don't I will hunt you down and force peach pies down your throats. Just warning. |

| 7:58 pm | It was fun watching the awards on television the other night. Some of the dresses were unbelievable. Any winners feel free to stop by Tinsey's and whatever you want is on the house. |

| 7:30 pm | Floo lunches are a hit, look for more variety as soon as I can come up with more stuff that travels well and is appropriately American. Can't have an American-style diner serving anything but authentic food. Nick What do you think of me expanding the menu beyond Southern comfort food? /Nick |

| 11:49 am | Nick You okay? I know that your aunt's announcement is hard for you and Traj to deal with. Do you want to talk? /End Private Everyone floo in your lunch orders this week. If it goes well we'll expand the floo menu. |

| 6:44 pm | How is it that my redneck family can drink more than my Russian roommate? God, I'm so hungover and I think that every single lid/plate/utensil in the diner has been dropped by someone today. |

| 1:21 am | Private to Nick Umm Nick? Will you promise to not give me the silent treatment when I tell you something? |

| 1:28 pm | Right now I'm standing behind the counter at the diner watching the people enjoy their breakfasts. It's amazing how quickly people decided to like hamsteak and grits. I wouldn't have thought even three years ago that this would work but it does. Somewhat inexplicably it seems that the staid and stodgey British witches and wizards have a taste for southern style cooking and soul food. And to think that the first time I ordered okra from my supplier he gave me a weird look and asked me what in blue blazes THAT was. Now he comes in once a week for southern fried chicken and corn bread. Yeah, life is good. Nick, can you stop by with some of your burn ointment? I kind of had a run-in with a cast iron skillet this morning and it smarts like hell. |

| 1:36 am | Private to Nick You have any of that vodka left? I brought orange juice home with me. I really need a drink. Dave and I broke up. /Private |

| 3:55 pm | Happy Birthday Nick! Private to Nick I know that you really don't like your birthday anymore so I'm not making a big deal out of things and I plan on giving you your gift later some time, when it's not so close to, you know. That said, I have a spread planned for you tonight. Sort of a Southern American/Russian fusion thing which is kind of making my brain hurt but should do wonders for all taste buds involved. And a forewarning, the lemonade is very hard lemonade, I spiked it with your vodka. And it tastes pretty damn good if I do say so myself. |

| 12:41 am | Dave and I are back from our trip back home. If anyone wants a good laugh I have Muggle pictures of Dave's first experience with Nan Tinsey's geese. It's almost too bad it isn't a wizard picture then you could see the girlie scream that followed right after the picture was taken. It's funny how easily Dave fit into my other world. The world of sweet tea and honey drawls. The place I call home even though I'll probably never live there again. Nan Tinsey liked him a lot which I think kind of surprised him. It was funny to see the old women in town giving him funny looks, I guess that it's unusual enough still for them to see a man with tattoos, plus he was the first guy I'd ever brought back home...besides Matt and Matt didn't count since everyone knew we weren't together. |

| 1:18 am | Private to Dave I was thinking that maybe we should have a weekend away. How well do you do with long distance portkey travel? /End Private Private to Matt Thank you. You're a better friend than I could ever begin to express. /End Private Private to Tasha So, I'm just now able to talk about it without crying. Nick and I had the talk. It went well, or as well as can be expected. But as much as I knew that it had to be the way it was I can't not say that my heart isn't more than a little broken. I think that I'm going to take Dave to the States for a weekend though I haven't decided if we'll go to New York so he can hear the music or if I want to take him home to meet Nan Tinsey. /End Private Private to Nick I'm not upset with you. I just wanted you to know that. I know that you have the Orthodox New Year next week and I think that next weekend Dave and I are going to portkey to the States for the weekend. Let me know if there's anything you want me to bring you back. /Private Private to Michael Can you tell the Profs that I'm feeling under the weather? /Private Private God, this hurts. I feel like a chunk of my soul got ripped out. But strangely I feel like i have permission to feel for Dave what I'd been starting to feel for a while. /Private Weird weekend. |

| Friday, December 18th, 2009 | |
| 7:41 pm | I'm Muggleborn. I was born in Bath but raised in Alabama in the United States. My father is an environmental lawyer and I saw most of the world before I came to Hogwarts. And it's funny, people might speak different languages and have different cultures but for the most part they're pretty much the same. Those who inherit power believe themselves to be superior to those who are born without power. And those who are born without power are led to believe that they are inherently inferior. |

| 11:50 pm | Private I can't stop thinking about what Nick said that night. I mean, I know he was drunk and he shouldn't be held to what he says but it's kind of hard for a girl to ignore the fact that one of the most important people in her life admits to her that he might still have feelings for her. I know I'm with Dave and I like being with Dave but there's this part of me that thinks that if Nick said the word I would drop everything for him. And that could be disaster. I know that I'm important to him and I don't think he realizes just how important he is to me. And we could ruin everything if we tried being together again. Or the last couple of years when we haven't been together have been simply delaying the inevidable. I know that it's true for everyone that you're with but this seems more true with Nick, it's like I've always known that he's going to be my best friend forever or he's my soul mate. I just don't know which and the waiting is killing me. I really wish he would talk to me about this but I promised not to bring it up again until he was ready to talk. /Private So, Nick, I was thinking Italian for dinner tonight. What say you? |

| 1:44 am | Private to Nick Do you have the keys to our flat yet? And what time can we start moving in? /Private Private to Natasha I can't tell you how much it means to me that you let me crash on your couch for so long. Thank you for that. And for being an amazing friend. Pass it on to Brandon...the thank you part not the amazing friend, that's just you. /Private I am no longer homeless...thank God. |

| 5:09 pm | Private to Natasha, Brandon, Nick, Matt, Domi, Michael and Dave It isn't often that I get really homesick but Thanksgiving is the one time that I really wish I were back home. So this year (with the kind permission of my temporary roommates) I'm inviting all of you to Thanksgiving dinner. Dinner will be served around six Thursday Night. Comment if you can come. And also, let me know if you're bringing someone with you. Matt, invite Colin too. /End Private |
| 12:21 am | Private to Nick So, I was thinking that maybe a week or so after we move in we could do a dinner type thing with our friends. What do you think? /Private Private I don't know what to think about the thing with Matt. I hate that he feels that Dave violated some rule by dating me but the fact is that I like Dave. I don't have any illusions of us being together for a long time. In fact, I think if we last a couple of months it's going to be good. But right now he's the kind of guy I need in my life. I just want to feel wanted and Dave makes me feel that way. And explaining that to Matt is pointless because he doesn't understand how hard it is for me not to be in a relationship. I'm not entirely sure myself why I'm like that. It isn't like I live my life around whoever I'm with because I really don't. Maybe I just need to love people. And as much as I love my friends it's not complete somehow. Which is making me sound like a freak, even in my own head. Every day it's like I see more and more of the old Nick and I'm certain that his new job is going to make things even better. I can never bring back Bruce for him but it's the least I can do to help him get himself back /Private I'm the only American here but I have to say that I really miss Thanksgiving. |

| 5:09 pm | Bored at work. There are only so many times you can clean cages and I've done all my homework. And I finished the book I was reading. Dave Sooo, you have plans tonight? /Private |

| 8:34 pm | Any suggestions on how to get a song out of my head once it's there? |
