An LJ native since 2003, this is Gina's third (and hopefully final) journal. Her first journal was her beloved home for several years, and a place where memories of all her best and most loved friends still linger. But it was also a place of childish mistakes and selfish motives, and after repeatedly letting down those she claimed to adore, Gina realized she'd grown beyond that period of her life. So, with head hung sadly, she left that safe haven.

But life away from LJ did not suit her. As she slipped into her twenties and found adult life dull and quite often lonely, she longed for the escape LJ and her dear Harry Potter fandom offered. Her second journal was created with desperate hope, as she tried to reclaim the love and camaraderie she'd once had, but swiftly she found herself trying too hard, slipping away from her true self in the process. Disappointed and overwhelmed, she slipped away in shame.

And so now she finds herself here, trying to explain herself to friends she hopes to someday find, and keep. In six years, she's made (and lost) best friends, had her heart broken only to be made whole again, learned hard and sometimes painful lessons, and with any luck, come out the better for it all. Here she will make her home, with only the goal to be true to herself, and be kindest and loyal to those who show her the same.

Live. Breathe. Love. Potter.

+ lists are made of awesome, and will usually end most (possibly all) of gina's entries
+ gina does not like capital letters, despite being a spelling and grammar nazi in her writing
+ politics might occasionally feature in gina's journal. she is a liberal democrat, but is very open-minded and loves good-natured debate. however, if you're just going to respect others' opinions (and their right to have them), expect to meet the pointy stick of banishment.
+ gina curses. a lot. ye be warned.
+ no ninjas. :| sneaky bastards.
