Good morning, sunshine.
I know that you have all been waiting anxiously for the day I would put up a picture that I actually took and isn't of a creepy hallway. Well, chums, today is the day. Try to contain your excitement. Really. It's embarrassing.
Have I mentioned to you that I go to school at Hogwarts? I do. There is a castle. Technically this building might have started as a hotel, not a castle, but let's conveniently forget about that for the moment. I go to school in a castle by the sea. Not a lot of classes are in the castle because it is a small castle, but one of mine is so you can all be jealous. Here is what I've learned about castles that J. K. Rowling either forgot to tell me or I forgot to pay attention to:
ONE. Castles are drafty. It might be the ghosts. It might also be that nobody thought to insulate them. Or it might be that somebody thought to insulate them, realized it was futile (I mean really), and gave up. Regardless, they are colder than a homeless seagull in Irkutsk.
TWO. Castles are crooked. Literally. I mean the ghosts might steal your money, or a rogue sheep might come in and eat it, but quite literally castles are crooked. It's nearly impossible to take a picture of them because if you line up part of the building vertically, it is guaranteed that another part will be uneven.
THREE. Because castles are drafty and crooked, they're a bit like ships. This one is next to the sea, too, so it smells mildly fishy. Next time you're feeling bored and craving adventure, go walk up and down the spiral staircases and say pirate-y things like "avast!" and "yar!" and "who drank the kraken??" I guarantee you will feel seasick in no more than twelve minutes. It's fun. I promise.
