Note from Vee

Good morning!
This is Vee.
I wanted to inform you all that I will not be posting further until I receive my Pottermore email.
As you can infer from that last, I have still not received it.
It should be coming soon.
But until then,
I won't be here.
I know you are asking where will I be.
The answer:
Moping alone in a corner without my Pottermore email, writing copious amounts of essays and completing a math packet.
Don't you wish you were me?
Love,
Vee

Pottermore: The Not-So-Perfect Email

I know I am sounding a bit like a whining, complaining girl named Myrtle, but this Pottermore thing is really pissing me off! So, finally, the day after I posted that email, I was talking to my BFFL named Rachel. She is in Greece, so we have to talk to her over Gmail. Of course, I was checking my inbox every half-second while emailing her, and then one time I checked, and, TA DA! It was there. I was overjoyed, anyone would be, and I clicked on it, my heart full of sunshine and happiness and crap like that. I received the following message:

You have been selected for early entry into Pottermore!


We’re really excited to confirm that you are one of the lucky people selected for early entry into Pottermore, ahead of when it is open-to-all in October, to help us add finishing touches!
We will activate your account between mid-August and the end of September, so keep checking your inbox for our Welcome email. When this arrives you will be able to enter Pottermore. In the meantime, you can check the Pottermore Insider for all the latest news, updates and announcements.
We look forward to welcoming you to Pottermore.
Any person, smart or stupid, would be pissed. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS? I HAVE TO WAIT FOR YET ANOTHER EMAIL. ANY SELF-RESPECTING PERSON WOULD JUST GET TO THE EFFING POINT. 
I am sorry for my strong language. I am just mad. This is not appropriate behaviour from the woman who created my life's food. I am shaking my head in disappointment. Speaking of shaking, I am shaking from anger too, and sadness.
Is there anything left to say?? I feel not. 
With sadness in my heart, I bid you all Farewell.
From your angered friend,
Vee
p.s. I put my twitter feed on here. Don't read it unless you are bored. Which you probably are, if you are reading this blog.
p.p.s. I want to give a GIHUGIC shout out to Helga Andromeda Tsuki Sophie Fontinilla Lovegood Natsu Starr. She got me in to Pottermore. Now who is going to get me out, LOL!

Pottermore: The Death of Vee

As Luna and Lily will be very jealous to know (they don't know yet, they're still at camp. I got back 2 weeks before they will!) I got into Pottermore. They didn't. Unfortunate, really, and I should, I suppose, be pitying them, but I am not the kindhearted soul some of you may think I am, therefore I will not pity them.
So, if you got into Pottermore as well, you will have got this email:
Your Pottermore account

So we all get incredibly excited, and wait with baited breath for the email we are sure will come quite soon. But we wait. And we wait. And the email doesn't come. And then today, I was puttering around on Twitter as usual and I saw.... this.

Even someone less clever (and modest) than I would think, I expected my email within, at the most, six hours. I checked my email every ten minutes, my hopes growing dimmer as the hours ticked by. My email checking grew more sporadic. A watched pot never boils, so I tried not watching it. Well, not watching it for about twenty minutes. That didn't work. So, I tried checking a different email. Perhaps they sent it to the wrong email? Yeah right. Wishful thinking. How would they even know my other emails?
Wait, be right back. I need to go check my email.

--5 minutes later--

No email. This is depressing me. I think I should probably just stop talking about it and thinking about it and mentioning it. Then it will come. Maybe. 
From the depths of dispair,
Your Friend the Death Eater
