Hi everyone! For those in school, I hope your exams have gone smoothly. I took my final for my trigonometry class Friday and it was a bear but I did better than I expected. I passed the test and the class so no more of that for me! I am rather thankful that the snow and ice fell the day after because I had to scrape at least a half inch of ice off my car and I don't know how many inches of snow. That is no fun at all.
News
Everyone welcome Martumal to our ranks! He's the new Envoy and Rollmaster for the House. I am kinda sad to see not a single one of you were interested in the position. It's a fun position and you get to know a lot of new people through it. Maybe next time then :)
There really isn't much going on. The Gladius December Festival is still going on. If you participate in all the little events you just might find a little something extra come your way even if you didn't win every event. What is this extra something? You'll have to find out yourself. Hehehe.
I do have a few things to clear up regarding the Festival competition.
If you play the bowling minigame you have to take a screenshot of your score and send that in. I would love to believe your written scores but those who send in a screenshot will be considered first. Screenshots are easy enough to take. At the end when your final score pops up hit the button on your keyboard labled 'Print Scrn SysRq'. Then go to whatever graphic program you have, from MS Paint to whatever the top dollar ones are, and just hit paste. There's your screenshot! Save that and then just send it in an email. Pretty easy really.
If you have a sucky graphic program like MS Paint (just like I do) you are still encouraged to participate in the graphic event. You don't have to make something that looks spectacular. Heck throw in some shapes that look like a hat, color it, maybe place a pic of a lightsaber across the front and there you go. Quick, easy, doesn't look all that great but you edge closer to that special something .
Competitions
Here's some competitions that are out you can all take part in. I highly recommend you also CC Deatharoc and myself when you do submit. I like to give lots of rewards to active people but I can't know your active if I don't see it :) If you have any questions about these comps just drop me an email.

Funny, Strange, and Amazing
I have always said if you can't laugh at yourself you are too serious. I had to stop and laugh at myself just today. I had to send a very large and kinda heavy package to my family that lives in Florida. After all the snow and ice over the weekend things got a little slippery. I didn't fall but I'm sure I looked rather silly trying to juggle my purse and this large box while I tried to keep my balance crossing the street to the post office. I know my feet were just about everywhere but I stayed up. Now that I've said that I'll go to work tonight and fall flat on my butt at least once. Maybe I'll 'slide' down the crew stairs like I did the last time it snowed. I'm a klutz, what can I say, I can slip even in slip resistant shoes.
Anyways, enjoy the holidays no matter which one you celebrate. Have fun, be safe, and enjoy yourself.
