Lol. I absolutely can not dance...at all. XD
I keep promising myself that I'll take ballroom dancing lessons sometime, but...heh. Sometime takes a new meaning...
Whee! The Fanfic contest is out. Anyone entering?

I seriously find that amazing that you can't dance, its simply moving your body to the rhythm of the music and to the beat, must be the latino blood in my veins or something. I am super excited for the fanfic contest, this time, I'll actually join it! I'm just going to say this once: (in white if any one does not want to see it)

I AM COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY IN LOVE WITH MELISSA FELIPE!!! heart heart


Sorry for that, I just had to say it.

Who is Melissa Felipe? XO
-boing-
Do you know what might be a good investment on Gaia right now? (Under 50k)
Dancing takes...forgetting. You have to forget that you might look like an idiot in front of a bunch of people, but it doesn't really matter because you'll never see them again. XD

That right fool! I love that word! Melissa Felipe is my best friend who is my um...lover? on the side? That sounds really nasty, the word lover.

Sorry to scrape in on your conversation- I'd like to say that I can't dance either. At all. It just makes me feel really awkward and I have no idea what I'm doing. It's not even the worry of looking stupid in front of people. I just can't do it. I have no idea how to move my body to a rhythm, let alone worrying about trying to look good doing it.

I'm glad you're entering the fanfic contest, the more Ravenclaw entries the better. I really like this month's theme.
I entered, but I'm afraid my entry's pretty darn feeble. I thought I'd better write it myself so as to win those precious extra points!

Luna, I really like your current avvie. You've got great taste! However, in the avvie arena, (now) pretty much the only people who win are people doing cosplays. >.>' Oh well. Good luck anyways!
ComluibanGirl, you shouldn't apologize for adding your thoughts...XD
Lol, don’t feel bad. Even if you can’t dance, at least you can listen to music XP
Oh yeah, this is totally random, but do any of you know all the functions of the F-things? (Like F1, F2, F3…etc.)
PostPosted: Mon Jun 09, 2008 6:12 pm


You do have good taste. My avi's always seem so boring. True all of us can listen to music, I only know one function and that F7-for spellcheck! Hopefully I can write something, I haven't written anything in ages so I'm like stuck, oh well. By the way I changed the first pick on the scavenger thing, so what do I do now?

I hope it is alright that I edited Flitwick to be smaller. That is all I changed. They are both wearing medals to represent the hopeful house cup win for Ravenclaw. He is performing his favorite spell Wingardium Leviosa.

Wow Steffyss, you're working very quickly XD
._.
I have finals this week, so I probably can't do much. (Maybe tomorrow...)
Anyways, good luck everyone!

Contest Two
I would just like to say that I appreciate both being in Ravenclaw and being a member of Haven. Both have provided me with wonderful opportunities to meet new people and I’ve learned quite a bit about photo editing (lol) among other things (such as event organizing) from my experiences here.
As for House appreciation, I’d like to mention how proud I am to be a Ravenclaw. Though there is a bit of a thirst for knowledge involved, it’s great how I can be with a group of people who share that love of learning. It’s not just book smarts—there’s also logic, experience, and most importantly, wisdom, that the House of Ravenclaw holds as first priority. Also very important is how to use that knowledge—what use are three PhD’s if you don’t do anything with them?
Sure, the other House traits are important too. Slytherin’s cunning to know when and how to take advantage of otherwise miss-able opportunities. Hufflepuff’s caring and compassion to unite people. Gryffindor’s bravery and willingness to stand up for beliefs. But what use are all of those traits, when after one’s death (or maybe a few generations after, if you become very memorable), nothing remains? A change may have resulted—using Slytherin’s brilliance you could have become a president, then with both Hufflepuff’s empathy and Gryffindor’s courage you could have turned around a prejudice and saved people in the future. However, no one can copy that cunning, that compassion or that bravery. Once you die, it’s gone forever—and existing only in people’s memories. However, with Ravenclaw’s stress on learning and knowledge, as well as the sharing of that knowledge, lessons learned can be passed on—so people won’t need to relearn those same lessons, and instead they can use what is discovered to learn even more lessons. Knowledge itself is passed on, and the way of using it is part of knowledge itself. In a sense, Ravenclaw-ish people are teaching people wisdom, which, if learnt correctly, will help them for the rest of their lives—and hopefully help the people around them as well. This is why I appreciate being a Ravenclaw so much, and hopefully this conveys my meaning well enough.

I’m slightly uncertain where I post this/do I post multiple (different) things all for this contest?

Er...before I post my final image, do you think I should change the Winter Rose dress to the G-LOL Blue Gown? The gown is a bit thinner and looks slightly out of place, but it has mostly Ravenclaw colors :/

Hey everyone! I've been neglecting Gaia lately, because I was a bit busy with school.. We had our oral test this previous Friday.. @.@ I came up in math... D: I suck at mah.

Anyways, I won the fanfiction competition for May! -Dances- I wanna thank who ever voted for me and all! ^^

And Turayza, you can just try the G-LOL Blue Gown on, and see which one fits the best. After all, it's important that your avatar look all prettied up! -Smiles-

And the weather's been sunny for a while! ^^ Mebbeh the water up in the lake is warm enough for a swim. If not, then I'll just have to deal with it, right? -Laughs-

Gah, I'm in an excellent mood. We got nothing to do at school at all, so all we do is just... sit there and solve crosswords, watch movies and go out! It's really relaxing. Though it gets a bit boring... D:

Well, anyways. Nothing to do, means I'll do my best to become more active on both Gaia and specially on the Guild again! I've missed you guys.. ;-;
