Hocus Pocus!: Ollivander's Wand Meme

[rusty_armour]

Wood type: olive Length: 11½ inches Core: Dragon Heartstring get your own wand!

---

I know no one's going to care about this except me, but having a wand made out of olive wood means this about me:

Olive wands tend to choose the witch or wizard who possess above average intelligence, not to mention often an overactive imagination. Olive wands are also a favorite of healers and are especially good not only for healing but also for protective spells. Many believe the bearers of Olive wands to be good at decision making - but this is not necessarily so. The owner of an olive wand may be decisive but that does not mean their decisions are the right ones. On the other side of the coin they may be so busy worrying about what is right that they are unable to ever reach a conclusion.

Olive's personality is peaceful

Yeah, okay, the only accurate part about that description was the "overactive imagination," but still...Hey, the description of the Dragon Heartstring sounds a bit more accurate:

Wands with Dragon Heartstring cores are excellent for hexes, or for dueling, not to mention fire magic. They tend to choose a witch or wizard who is strong not only physically, but also emotionally, and who usually has very strong opinions on things, though they often tend to be strong willed and thickheaded as well.

I'm totally strong emotionally (if by strong emotionally they mean over-emotional) and I'm definitely strong-willed (e.g. stubborn) and thickheaded (e.g. still stubborn).

Hi again, losyark! It looks like I might not be posting the next installment until Saturday or Sunday as I'm still working on the rough draft. I'm hoping to finish it tonight, but I'd still like to spend an extra day or two on the revision. Anyway, I just thought you should know.

Welcome back to Toronto btw! :-) I'm sorry I neglected to say that in my previous comment!

Aw. *sniff* Well, I can wait! What I really wanted was to say that I was in town now, and inquire as to whether you knew a group of people / have RL fannish friends, etc. that I can leech on. 'Cause, you know, you're cool.

No one here is a GEEK. *pathetic sniffle*

Also, doing NaNo?

As it so happens, I recently joined a group of Toronto geeks. I've only been to one get together so far (dinner and a movie), but the ladies I met were friendly and nice. I emailed the woman who started the group and she says the get togethers are open to anyone who's interested. She also told me that I should give you her email address (mailto:storm_haven@hotmail.com) so you could contact her for more information.

BTW I'm afraid I'm anything but cool. I'm sure even my closest friends would disagree with that adjective! *g* Still, it's sweet of you to think so. Thanks. Hopefully we'll get a chance to meet in person and you can judge for yourself. :-)

Also, doing NaNo?

No, I'm afraid not, though I know someone on my flist is. I assume you're planning to participate.

Are too cool. You can really WRITE. I may do NaNo, depending on how heavy my coursework turns out to be. I have my first class today. I'll email this other person soonish, thank you!
