Running her medical transcription business has taught her the value of editing, since most physicians don’t sound brilliant without a transcriptionist.

Dumbledore's Army - by Tim

What kind of sillyass
juxtapositional oxymoron
declaration
is that on Tony's car?

Armies aren't peace.

This whole HP thing

Even with elves and wands
and horcruxes
instead of fighter jets.

Even with British accents -

Quotes by Thalia Chaltas (?)

“I got an A on the third quiz in American history,
an A,
dammit.
Last time I got a B
up from a C
and my father said,
"if you can get a C
you can get a B,
if you can get a B
you can get an A."-
I got an A
and my father said,
"grades don't mean anything.”

“I never realized
till now
how hard the brain has to work
to make the body do what it asks.

Or maybe how hard the body has to work
to ignore
the brain.”
― Thalia Chaltas, Because I Am Furniture
