o.O Long time no updates/post/anything. Eeps. ANYWAYS......
I CHANGED THE FORUMS!!!!!!!!!!
Shocking, isn't it? :) So...new forums=less work for us, hopefully. So hopefully we can revive HH, it's kind of dead at the moment. Yeah.
Look for more updates later..not like anyone reads this. Oh well.
Also, I'm going to start drawings now for the new layout that we were going to do last summer. ^^' So..Lilac, if you are wanting to add your characters to the layout, draw them and find a scanner? Or try drawing them by hand on the comp? Pick one...let me know..I'll email you. I'm going to try drawing them on the comp and see how they turn out...and then draw them by hand if I don't like it. Should they be color or b&w?

Ugh, I don't like the new blogger look..It's a bit annoying. I'd like to be able to see the last posts so I can refer to it so I know what to say. Whatever...
Yeah, that's fine. Random generic HP characters doing whatever we decide. lol :) Yep, fading links or mouseover links are cool...maybe we SHOULD make them completely disappear...hehe. We can decide that later.
When do you want to start drawing them, who do you want to draw, and what should the layout be? I was thinking having a picture on the "enter" page along with a quote (I love quotes, can you tell?)...or maybe blend a few pictures together with a quote on top..something like that. And then inside...? Menu on the left side (maybe an iframe instead of FRAMES this time?) With weird links..picture behind them maybe (as a bg if we do an iframe)? And then of course something at the top..and maybe on the right side for ppl with bigger screens so that it basically fits both sizes? and then if we did a fixed bg we could have something at the bottom, but again it would depend on the monitor size..we could just have the contents stop on 800x600 and then have something else for larger sizes? I dunno..whatever. We can decide that later. Maybe we should just draw different characters in different poses randomly and see which ones turn out best/look best/and fit a layout best?
I have sympathy for you, the painting screwed up my head and sinuses, too, though I didn't take the AP chem. lmao, "did you like question #45"? See you at the awards..um.."thingy" tonight. Yeah. I want to skip school tomorrow...but I won't, of course. I'm such a good student. *angelic smile* o:) But I still want to, I don't care. How was a walk in the park? Mr. Davis changed the stuff for the portfolio letter and stuff...ask me about it or ask him, I talked to him in newswriting. And Megan and I did the senior video thing for Mr. Barrett and Mrs. Moeckel, respectively. yeah. Fish are friends, not food! XD Yeah, I need help tonight, I'm losing my sanity.........and I'm rambling. I'll shut up now and ask you about this stuff later since you probably won't reply. :P

I like the drawing character idea, too. Drawing is fun. XD If we do that, which ones should we draw? I don't know, I don't think it would take that long if we actually worked on it. It's when I only work on drawings off and on that they never get done. :P Um...movie v. non-movie? What do you think? If we did non-movie it might be easier because we wouldn't have to make them look like the movie people, but then we also wouldn't have a "reference picture" like we would have if we did movie. It's really whatever you like; I'm leaning slightly toward non-movie right now but it doesn't really matter, either is fine. Also, if we do movie we'll (obviously) do PoA, but if we do non-movie, should we do non-movie from a book or theme from a book, and, if so which one? Or should we just do 'generic' HP characters?
Yes, fading links and changing links are fun. We could do the kind where the link picture changes (ie: Guided Plot, mousedover=wand or something), or we could just do text links that change color on mouseover, like we have now.
Um..I'm not really sure, I haven't thought about the "main page" layout yet. It would depend on whether we want frames or no frames and what kind of information we want on the "main page".
Dinner time, if I think of anything else I'll add it later.

Okay, more randomness. Look a this page, please. That's not a question, that's an order! (or is it a statement? lol). Um. Anyway. You'd better look and reply, I'm sending you an email! *attempts to sound threatening* Erm. Right.
You need to be on MSN more, we need to decide on the above..and on the below (previous post). Yeah. ASAP. And you need to help me reply to HH mail. Yes, you really do.
Mwe. no, don't ask. Yes, I need help. And sleep. Preferably sleep. AP tests are evil. :[ They make me get up early. And why can I never buy things from shops on Neopets? (not shopwizard shops, regular shops). How annoying......
That's really all I have to say.

lol, that's amusing. :P You need to check neopets, I sent you a neomail...randomly.
"/hogwartshallhidden is very specific address"? lol Yes, it is. It is fun to make random weird quizzes, but we could leave it as an RPG and do that anyway, for the "fun" section..??? Let's not make it just a fan site, like you said, too much work for too little reward. So..are we reaching any conclusions? Should it be a fan site, should we get a new site and do a lotr rpg, should we just add a fan section and bring back the RPG...what??? :P We could do an "interactive" fan site along with the RPG (for people who don't RPG) and have a "fan" forum for the books, movies, artwork, writings, etc, and then display people's HP fanart/fic on the site...or whatever? I don't know/no se/je ne sais pas. Do you? We should decide. I want to make a new layout for whatever we decide. Mwahaha, fun. >:D We can talk about the layout, too, once we decide on what to do...........
Unrelated thought of the day: There are no cool/pretty/dangly 14 k gold earrings, and even less 14 k white gold earrings. About the only thing in white gold is hoops or balls. In yellow gold there are plain, sparkly gemstones and pearls and diamons, but nothing very pretty. And they're all incredibly expensive. Why? Am I the only person who is allergic to everything else? I doubt it. :[
Yum, fried comp! My favorite! (I couldn't resist!)

Yeah, the Guided Plot should die. I liked the idea for the second GP, though. Hmm. Yes, we could change it to something different, but then the /hogwartshallhidden wouldn't fit something else. Oh well, I don't really care.
Ha,ha, yes we should still write in this blog next year! All the random/pointless thoughts we have while at college. Hehe. Yes, it is strangely fun to think that others might *possibly* read what you say. We COULD get a livejournal instead, though...livejournal is fun, too. You can post comments on that.
Oh, my, you just have to love religious fanatics. Just because they're so amusing. (I'm sorry, Megan!) Aw, poor Irene can't find facts on evolution and the biocube is due tomorrow! lol Randomly, which couple are you writing about for the english essay? I'm doing Mr. & Mrs. Bennet. They're so amusing.
Anyway...random thought: I can't decide whether to go to calc or not. I have ballet at 6:45 and it will probably last a half an hour later that usual, GAH, I can't stand Besty B. However, I love my little kids. They're so sweet. :D
Christina Deeter's sister, Jessica, was at the art meeting yesterday. She's in the Jr. High class. :) That was random.
Good luck finding "facts" I'm going to finish my essay and then..um..do something else! Probably get ready to go..

Yes, that's very scary. I don't know why we always think of the same ideas. That's randomly very weird.
I agree with you. Negar IS to deny. Yep, I'm pretty sure that's right. I don't know what was wrong with that, either.
Our inbox is scary. And you never answered email anyway. :P So what if I'm obsessed with layouts? They are not that hard to do! The only hard part is cutting them so that they fit together right on the page. Yes. Anyway, the layout we have now looks REALLY bad on higher res, so I want to do one that looks fine on both. Well..I don't know why it takes you forever to do layouts for yearbook. I've never done a yearbook layout. Maybe I should have taken yearbook? lol
Ginny is just awesome! :) I re-read OotP and she rocks. Yes, you ARE Hermione. Perfectionist. :P lol Sure, why not? "Hardinbrook for Congress" is better than S.P.E.W.!!!
So..have we come to any sort of conclusion about anything? I don't really think so (randomly). Were we even supposed to come to one? I've forgotten what the point is...*goes and re-reads first post* So..what quizzes have been done, Lilac, Queen of Quizzes and Almighty Pretzel Goddess? And...um..should we "kill" the Guided Plot and start again, or have the HMs come and finish it? And are you going to do anything else for the "fun" section? And once I figure out the new new layout, will you help me fix all the pages? I don't know how much 'fixing' it will take, the color scheme might stay the same or it might change. The 'index' page might stay basically the same, I really like that graphic, with a few changes. Um...yeah. That's all I really have to say.
Neopets is weird. The Wheel of Monotony is mesmerizing me. @_@

Well. That's really all I have to say. I haven't done ANYTHING at all since OCTOBER (not like Lilac's done anything either). So now I'm going to start doing stuff again, maybe the site will come back to life. Gah, I don't even want to look at the inbox. No, I really don't.
I think I'm going to do a new layout again. (again) Because I don't really like this one now that I have a higher res monitor. So I'm going to have to come up with one that looks good on both sizes. :P I do have an idea, though I'm not sure how good it will turn out.
Supposed to be writing an article for the Tempo again, but I'm sort of stuck. That's not really relevant.
"As you pick up the toothbrush a tree outside the window collapses. There is no casual relationship between these two events..." lol, Lilac! XD
That was random. Okay. Working on "fun" section now, I need to find out what quizzes have been done.
Ginny Weasley is the best. *huggles* She's my new favorite character. Lilac, you can be Hermione if I can be Ginny! :D
I don't really know what that was about. I'm going to go do my article instead of typing random things.
Later.
