Guys, Yosemite was AMAZING. Cold, but amazing. And for the record, the Mist Trail? Needs to be renamed the Monsoon Trail. We all got so soaked.

I have a quick question for everyone who's apping or already over at New Salem! Gemma thirteenoclock has this big house and I feel bad that she's in it alone, so what I'm wondering is if anyone is looking for a roommate who'd want to move in with her. I'm totally open to all ideas, just let me know!

Just to let everyone know, I'm going out of town for the weekend. A bunch of my friends and I are heading to Yosemite, so I won't have internet access again until Monday. I didn't want to spam the OOC pages, so I thought I'd put that here.

Also.... SO EXCITED. Gemma got accepted at New Salem! So anyone who wants to plot with her, let me know! thirteenoclock

WAH people... I can not stop crying over some of those battle logs. You are all so amazing, you really are.

I'm not certain about all of these. I mean, there's a ton of stuff I'd love to write but not enough time. What I do need right now is an idea for Gemmma's epilogue - anyone else's character(s) want to be involved? She won't be settling down straight away, that much I'm sure of.

Okay. Okay, so I need to kick-start my muse so I'm asking a favor from all of you. I want fic requests. Anything, everything, any of my characters, whatever. Romantic, friendship, random encounter, totally AU, whatever, just give me something. I can't promise it'll be long, but I'll write it. Bring it on, folks!

Ugh. I owe everyone a huge apology for being so MIA. Life went and got crazy on me, and - well, suffice to say...

( Warning: TL;DR rant about real life )

I have a favor to ask of everyone! I have a huge test tomorrow, as well as a 10 page paper due that I've barely started. Tonight will end up being an all-nighter. So if you see me on AIM I want you to get on there and tell me, no matter what, to get the hell off and go work on my schoolwork. Pleeeeeease?

uuuuuuuuuuuugh I hope my Mother never decides to visit me like that again. That was the longest weekend of all time. I'm so sorry I've been MIA longer than expected, guys. I'm back on campus (yay resnet) so I'll be around again.

Some of you will probably recognize this from Gemma's Valentine's posts, but I don't care, I love this card too much. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone, and I hope you have a lovely day whether you're celebrating or not.

Good grief. I never thought my geeky little 5th year Ravenclaw would give me more trouble than Ginny Weasley.

And on that note, here's a public service announcement from Gemma Shimpling:

"All of you just STOP IT PLEASE"

I edited it for language. :D

I kind of did one of these before, but it's been a while and so much has been happening that I really wanted to do another. Plus it's 2:30 AM and I can't sleep. So prepare yourself for a tl;dr on the state of my characters at WAH!

I keep forgetting to ask you guys this, but I have a favor to ask everyone. My Mother is supposed to put together a quiz thingy for a conference she's going to, and the topic for the quiz is Harry Potter.

So! I'm asking for help coming up with questions. Visual, auditory, multiple choice, short answer - anything but essay! Easy to hard. Get lots and she'll sort. Ideally by the end of February so she has time to put it together and think of prizes. Anything related to HP - books, movies, background, whatever.

I will seriously love all of you forever if you could come up with some questions for this. They don't have to be amazing, although knowing you guys I bet they would be, but seriously I would love any ideas anyone has. I will owe you forever.

Everyone else is doing it, and they're so cute, plus I'm a sheep, so here. I might take a while, but whatever :D

Pick any group, pair, or individual WAH character, and I will write you a fic that takes place in a possible post-WAH future. Consider any of them merely AU possibilities, so it doesn't matter how cracktastic the pairing may be - just give me an idea of if you want friendship, gen, shippy, smutty, or what. I will make it work.

I'm not going to hold Oscar for now, WAH pals, but that's just for now I swear! I need to figure out if I can play the no holds barred douchebag first :D Yay fun times.

Fun times on the WAH chat last night. We were brainstorming ideas for another weird R5 boy, and in the process we've come up with an idea for a new character. I just had to share, because honestly, I think you'll all just love her.

No really. You'll love her. You won't be able to help it.

Also, edited for length. What? We had a LOT of ideas for this girl!

( I know a girl/She's a beauty queen/She rocks the scene/All over the world/People stop and stare/She's everywhere/But when she's at home/And she all alone/She's just like you and me/A regular girl/Who thinks she's the farthest thing/From a beauty queen )

Yay, stealing a meme from moonshoes! This is what happens when I stay up late on chat.

Give me one of my characters and one of yours and, despite how ridiculous the pairing might be, I will tell you five facts and provide a potenital PB for one (or more, if you want -- just specify how many or if they're a first/second/etc-born) of their children!

I fail at finding PB's. So for that plot at WAH later this month... who's a male PB I could use for Gemma? Honestly, anyone who looks 16 and a little like Michelle Trachtenberg works for me.

Happy holidays, everyone!

So I'm in a seriously good mood, which is hilarious because I was so not this time yesterday. But my Grandparents gave me a kindle, and as if that wasn't awesome enough, they gave me this gigantic bone that my Grandpa's family has been keeping around since the 1950's. Apparently they found it when they were in the Badlands (in North Dakota) and thought it was cool, and now I get it and it's AWESOME. It's long since fossilized, and going by the location I suspect it's from a prehistoric mammal that's rather like a rhinoceros which was 8' tall at the shoulders, and get this - that would make it 35-55 million years old. So I'm in heaven!

Anyway. Snaps Cup! And I'm going to browse through my friends page and do all of yours, because today I am happy with my fossil and my kindle. My wishlist now just includes the two remaining Ravenclaw 5 boys at wah_mods and my very own Phantom of the Opera.

My grandparents' house looks like something out of a hallmark card and it's giving me a headache. Plus their internet is set up weird, and for some reason it keeps screwing up AIM. AND my Grandmother has Wheel of Fortune on TV. Bleagh. I wanted to watch "Silence of the Lambs," but I was outvoted. How is that not a festive movie? It has - it has - well, I'm not sure, but it's still festive if you ask me. And if that isn't, maybe I can convince them to put on "Black Christmas."

BTW: Matt, good luck ever getting that drabble. Ross is just too awesome, Gemma will want him to be her big brother at this rate and IDEK how I'm going to work lust into that unless it's a lust for power that can only be satisfied by world domination via undead army.

And when Lauren is bored, tired, and sick of the holidays she rambles about her characters (And talks in the third person)! Read at your own peril.
