Today I had a test in my Magic, Witchcraft and Religion class and all I could think of in the essay part of the test was effin’ “Cicero urges Catiline’s departure from Rome.” and manus manum lavat! I completely drew a blank on anything related to snake-handling, glossalia, or Santeria so I wrote all the Sententiae Antiquae I could remember and “Cicero senator in Roma erat et in Catilinam saepe dicebat. Catilina mulas insidias et sceleres mala cum coniuratis suis fecerat antea superavit eum Cicero, senator magnus. Non scio si Cicero religione sua ducebatur sed ego ipse nunc non ducor.” I was proud of myself… Damn proud. Even though it’s probably nonsense. Does this happen to anyone else? When I study something in the morning, it’s all I can remember throughout the entire day… Maybe I’m gay… I don’t know… that’s what my girlfriend just told me, anyway.
I do not know what drawing blanks in your head has to do with being gay.
Cheer up, Tenfingers, I’m sure your teacher will be impressed with your speaking-in-tongues channelling.
May I ask what school has a Magic, Witchcraft and Religion class? Is it a practicum?
Lesson 1: Exorcizing a cat.
Lesson 2: Safe nude dancing.
Lesson 3: Dissication of rabbit limbs.
Lesson 4: OSHA standards for broom flying.
Lesson 5: Spells for stutterers.
Lesson 6: Macumba for Whities (aerobics class).
Lesson 7: How to tell if you’re being possesed by the Holy Spirit, by Ogum, or you’re just crazy.
Lesson 8: Healing with prayers (bring a chair).
Lesson 9: Power trips from the comfort of your own home.
Lesson 10: Microwave potions.
Lesson 11: Waxing with duct tape (for our short-haired sisters).
Lesson 12: First Aid for stigmata.

Wasn’t that a course pre-requisite? 
Why are you being gay?
re: witchcraft, nescio an anyone have read the book “Harry Potter and the half blood Prince”, it’s a Teubner, 1897, quite obscure (if any one has the first print please email me, you shall be rewarded handsomely). I would not be gay in a witchcraft class with Ginny Weasley and Cho Chang in my ranks. Harrius may be famous and admired by all (apart from the slytherins LOL!) but I hear that magnitudinous deltoids have special magical properties! I would flipendo utramque.
hi episcopus, the teubner hp is online in quicktime:

No mames, gay.

… but you would be gay if they weren’t?
Why are you being gay?
actually, there is a girl in my class that has really red hair. I thought that she might have been Ginny trying to keep an eye on all us muggles. I asked her number, but she told me that she has a love interest. Later, I asked her whether or not she really thought that he would survive his inevitable incounter with Hewhomustnotbenamed, and why should she deny herself a life-changingly spiritual-sexual encounter with my demi-divine gladio, for I AM the great I’m not. She couldn’t answer. The only downside was that she had Harry’s lightning-bolt tattooed on her lower stomach, so I used my inherently (and somewhat instinctual…) Parthian tactics in the end… 
Porterville (Hick-town, USA) Community College has this class, and I think most major universities should. If they have an antrho. program, they should, anyway.
and yes, we do practice the artes magicae in this class. We try to hold off on the sacrifices… the school won’t spring the funds for enough chickens. (those are Extra-credit, depending on if they were successful or not.). Nah, I was just kidding. No practice involved.. strictly etic.
Tenfingers? haha, I get it.
evening D.,
i would have been as visibly gay as my fellow gryffindors without the presence of those two girls, some of the finest commodities with which mother nature graced the wizarding world. Cho Ch. is a fox, and H. was simply wrong to rupidate G. in previous books. this mistake will cost him dearly in future. he should pick up his broom and study for his newts right now, for any inclination toward durmstrang qualifications across the caspian sea will prove worthless in the end. places do not change, however people do. such was the case with G.; he may live to regret his folly in the past.
as to why i am acting ‘gay’, what, pray, am i meant to do in transfiguration with lavender brown? L. is quite a good witch, 3rd in the year, but not of sufficient form to merit lascivious invisibility cloak functions, which, by the way, is growing too small for me, as is the case with my two other fellows at Gryf., R. and H., the latter having most problems in the chest area. that said, you may have an interesting point there, re: ‘why…gay’, since i am rarely aroused by my favourite female fellow, despite her patent pulchritude, whence i recently purchased a case of mulled mammary mead for 6000 silver sickles, as she read to me, with reference ‘H. A History’, her essay on why broccoli at H. Coll. Wi. et Wi. may neither be transfigured into, nor eaten from, a teaspoon. the content was quite good, though it was only 6000 words of english; i am, naturally, quite pissed off that she did not write anywhere near as much as my 12500 on the magical properties of muggle beer, more so because she did not write in latin. i now have to wade through scripts of previously rejected composition for, naturally, their tendency to wallow in the lake of mediocrity, of which the bank gave witness to S. black (an excellent scholar, if a tad puerile) tormenting S. Snape who, irrespective of his tenebrous tendencies, remains one of my top 60 wizards of all time.
re: muggle beer, glad to see you’re getting your drink on, but it must be a shame to be gilt by the bargain basement girls of slytherin coll. cease worrying about h. potter and his own certamen. as i said supra, the inevitable twelve years (estimate of sybil, that’s prof. trelawney to you) of
assiduous absence can only make your application to ginny’s finny that much easier. porro, as you should know, there is a fine line between being a ‘geek’ ‘gay’ ‘squib’ etc. and ‘verum ingenium’, and this line, hoc memento, is the scar of h. potter.

P.S. just had enough time before i pick the gf up from plat. 9 3/4 as i am off up to hog. tomorrow
… wow, I don’t know what I could even say to or about that gloriously and very gaily written passage except that I can safely say I have never before had the pleasure of hearing/seeing the word ‘finny’. 
I’m not exactly sure what it means, but I think I have a good idea. 
I would offer my recently aquired idea of this word’s definition, but alas it would be most inappropriate. Ubi gladium intromittere? Such vulgarity! I cannot bear it any longer, I must apologize with my somewhat severely handicapped Latin. Ignosce mihi culpam si erravi

Oi! That looks interesting.
