Aww, thanks Fivienne! ^^
Well, it didn't really surprised me that we fell of the horse.. Me and my friend is an accident that's bound to happen... Ever since we were children, we've ended up in accidents together.
Let's just say that we're never going to drive together immediately after we've gotten the license. xD;

paraphernalia_101 Actually just to add on to that, lard is used in tamales as well. I'm sorry for my absence, school and job hunting and social life is making life very busy for me. I probably won't be on for a while! Wish me luck on my speech class! Good luck on your speech Para! What are you speaking on? And I second LHH - let's get Ravenclaw the extra points and make either myself, Kitsune or turayza the winner of this month's fan fiction. I'm a little biased on whose story I think is best, and there is a terrific entry from a Gryffindor and also a Hufflepuff this month, too.
Kitsune, ouch! I hope your hip feels better soon, but at least you're out of Gym class. And happy birthday! I think you said it's soon!

I hope you feel better Kitsune! All this stress has really run me down, it finally hit me and I am now home alone trying to get better. My boyfriend, best friend and my other friend and I were supposed to hang out today, they are at Denny's right now and I'm sad because I can't be there with them. crying Stupid flu! I really also don't want to do any homework at all today, even though I have school tomorrow.
A/N: Thanks Lightkin! My speech isn't until thursday. Plus Kitsune, my best friend fell of her horse while she was jumping and broke her collar bone, I understand completely what you are going through! At least you have no P.E.!

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been around--school started, and I was totally overwhelmed. (Sports take up so much time!)
On the fanfiction stories--the stories were all great! Kitsune's story, 'Little Harry', was extremely touching. Sad, though.
Kitsune--I'd say that'd be a good idea. You should probably save driving together 'till you're sure you won't accidentally kill some random animal driving by :/ What do you use crutches for, if you didn't break anything? That's terrible, though. Riding is really fun--if you don't fall off. (Ow.)
Whee! Today was my first XC meet! It was only two miles, but considering the first time I ran more than a mile was a week ago... (Heh.) I feel happy and a great sense of accomplishment just knowing I made it in under 20 minutes. (Don't laugh.) It was tons of fun =D

Good job Turayza! So how is everyone doing? I'm super excited for tomorrow because I get to dance! I am so happy, to get my dancing shoes on again. I probably won't be on for a while, because my weekend is filled with boyfriendness, social life and church.

Well, I had to use crutches because my hip was so upbeat, that I couldn't stand. S: It's still painful, but much better now though. ^^
I'm glad you thought my story was touching! biggrin For some reason, almost everything I write is tragic.. Only comedy thingy I've written was A Single Sentence.. :S
And I also wrote a horror piece...! xD
I just got a new laptop! biggrin From the school. x3 So now, I have two laptops, and I can check Gaia at school.
Luckily, today we're done at 13:35. Normally, we're done at about 15:30.. @.@ I'm so sick of school nows. D:

There is something very wrong with my leg. See, over the summer, at my job, we took the little kids to the park. I, stupidly, decided to play with them on moving playsets in very slippering flats. I slipped, and got two majorly disgusting-looking bruises on my shin, and it was horridly swollen. Of course, like all bruises, it disappeared after a couple of weeks. There's still a bump on my shin-bone, though, and it throbsss. Like, all-of-a-sudden it started hurting, which is very strange... -scratches head-
I fly like paper, get high like planes. XD Great line.
Kitsune, I love your stories! Sure, they might be on the side of slightly-morbid... But hey, it's a great read ^ ^

Ohh I do cross country, too! No, that's great that you're running two miles! I love running =D
I haven't been able to come on lately, I've been so busy! How is everyone doing? I hope you feel better soon, Kitsune. <3

Um. Hi everyone. Uh. *does not know what to start with* Well. I wasn't here a few days, I suppose. However, I was reading your posts and stuff, but I just couldn't write anything myself. The reason is... You remember that I've been writing about my sick cat a few months ago, right? Well... My little fur-baby has died on the 11th. sad He was 10 years old and had a serious heart disease. This is the first such death in my life. And I am in pieces, just like my mom (wherever she's going or whatever she's doing something still remembers her of our cat, even really small things...). I was crying the whole day since just after I saw him dead. Still I am so indescribably sad... We loved him so much and it's terrible that he's gone. My house is kinda empty now. Very silent, lifeless. Also my mind is starting playing tricks on me. Just after his death I had this feeling that I hear something like pet sneezing and other strange noises while only I was at home. Now it stopped, but yesterday while I was trying to sleep I couldn't because I felt being watched. Now when I'm writing this it's ridiculous to me, heh... But I was feeling weird. I wonder how it'll be today.

Fivienne, I'm so sorry for your loss! It must be horrible to loose your beloved cat.. D:
I can't imagine loosing either of my cats, and I've only had them for three years! Loosing one after knowing them for ten years must've been...
-Hugs tightly-
It makes me even more annoyed at my friend, whose mother got both of their cats killed off because she was getting "allergic" (I really don't believe that too much..), and my friend hardly really even care. After all, she'd gotten "more mature".. -Sarcastic-
And right after the cats were killed off, they bought a puppy. -.-
-Shivers a bit- I can't imagine how tragic this must be for you! -Hugs again- I'm really sorry.. ;-;

Thank you, Kitsune. It really means alot to me. I'm better now... It's almost a week since he passed away. But now we're not crying. I'm kinda trying not to think about it so much. Not that I am trying to escape from it. It is still sad. I wish he did not die... Or at least I wish I could have some other cat so my home would be more lively. But I know it's too early...
Ah, something on the more bright side maybe. Just a little question. Is anybody interested in me drawing an avie art? Yesterday I saw this Fallen Wish collectible and I kinda fell in love with that gadget. And since I'm broken I thought that maybe some of you would like to help me by buying some of my art. If no that's okay. Our guild was just the first thought that I had.
I hope everything is fine with you guys. Recently it was pretty silent here. Everyone's having some real life business, I guess. ^^

Fivienne! I'm really sorry about your cat! I hope everything is going well, yeah, life has been crazy for me. My uncle had surgery to remove a tumor on his spine. Thankfully, they removed 90% of it and the last 10% they're going to do a biopsy on it and make sure it doesn't get any bigger. My friend also has a cat who is old and such, she's sad about it. I'm glad that you're not sad anymore. I would love avi art! What's the item you want?

Yeah, it is okay by now, I think... A friend of my mom's friend wants to give us a kitty. He (or rather She - she and her 2 brothers) was born recently and he has to find a new home. So... probably we're going to adopt her. She just have to grow up a little bit more so she can stop sucking her mom's breast. I don't know how does she look like, but I heard that she's a child of an Egyptian Mau mom and a British Shorthair dad. So it may be interesting...
I'm sorry for your uncle, Para. However it is a relief that they were able to remove so much of it and the rest can be removed (or 'desactivated'?) too. My granny had some of these, but they were removed successfully also... I'm glad that we are now able to perform such operations and save peoples lives...
The item I want is Fallen Wish. I would love to get the 1st generation of it so I kinda need to hurry up... But I don't have any orders so far. u_u I would be very thankful if you could help me, even a little bit.

  Sorry I haven't been on much lately. I've been helping a close friend who just had cancer surgery. She's doing well, but I still don't have much free time.
This is a heads up --
Quick Reminder: House Appreciation Contests are about to close.
House Points AND some cool prizes (Gwee? Snow Yeti? Demonic Anklets, Anyone?) are at stake!! .
As of this post, Ravenclaw doesn't have any entries in Contest 1 - best decorated post Contest 5 - best double tek-tek: Professor Flitwick with a Ravenclaw student, canon or not.
Contests will close at end of the month, and it's possible we won't have entries in all 5 categories unless you get busy!
Enter your post here in our Common Room and put the following banner at the top of your post in your Common Room to show it is an entry, (rather than a regular post).

[IMG]http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa29/HarryPotterHaven/Raven.jpg[/IMG]
Here are the 4 contests still open, they all post in the Common Room:
Contest #1- 5 points to the one who makes the best decorated post with House Colors and House theme. No image may be bigger than 640x480. Recommended size is not bigger than: 320x240. (E-mail/Website). If you have questions how to do this, instructions are in the subforum Events House Appreciation Scavenger Hunt.
Contest #2- 5 points to the one demonstrating the most House Spirit. This will be judged in many intangible and some tangible ways, like posting your appreciations in your Common Room and in this thread: The House Appreciation Thread
Contest #3- 5 points to the person who posts the best House icon saying - limit 10 House icons per member. You may find an icon, or write the saying and post it with or without it written in an icon.
Contest #4- 5 points to the best Avi dressed in House Colors. You are limited to your inventory and your imagination. The image needs to be posted inside your post like the one at left. CLOSED Winner announced here:
http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?page=1&t=13339549#161211792
Contest #5- 5 to the best double Tek-Tek of your (canon) Head of House with a House student, canon or not, both dressed in House Colors. For Slytherin this can be either Severus or Horace Slughorn. The images need to be posted inside your post like in Contest #4. This is so the image will remain in posterity for Hogwarts Haven: A History, (and for the final prize). Using tek-tek you have an unlimited inventory. You may use or re-create Tek-Teks from any previous contest or games. If you didn't originate them, name who did. How to make a Tek-Tek Avatar
Each Head of House will pick the winners in their House (or perhaps recruit judges to pick the winners from different Houses). A student can win in more than one category. Head of Houses may add surprises and extra prizes within their Houses for House Appreciation month if they wish, but only 5 winners from each House will be eligible for the Grand Prize.
up to 5 Contest winners from each House will be announced and their posts put in the House Appreciation Thread.
From those 25 winners, we will raffle for one heck of a FABULOUS GRAND PRIZE and the title of Ultimate Haven House Spirit! The Grand Prize is 20 points and your Choice of:
Demonic Anklets or a Gwee or a July 2007 letter or a Snow Yeti!
We're also needing donations of rares, cash shop items, gold evolving items, etc for prizes in the upcoming fall contests! (Send to AccioFunds)
