Hi everyone! The holidays are close at hand. What a time for my garbage disposal to spring a leak. That seems to be my luck :(

For those who celebrate Christmas, have a very merry time indeed. Happy Boxing Day to those in Canada. I don't know of any other holidays or religious celebrations but I'm sure they are out there so have fun anyways! (No one knows what Kwanzaa is)

News

Everyone welcome Coorta, Lantoc, and Sonic! Coorta is a returning member, Lantoc and Sonic are brand spanking new. Give them all a warm hello.

As you all know we now have a new Consul. He's Anshar and the old Headmaster of the Shadow Academy. It's really cool having him back. I had loads of fun when he was QUA of Gladius so I'm looking forward to having loads of fun with him as CON. Feel free to email him and get to know him better. He can also be found on mIRC, just be sure to give him a snuggle first. Hehehe....

Deatharoc and I are working on several things at the moment, all of which are hush hush until we finalize everything. I think you will all enjoy what we are coming up with. If you have any ideas for furthering the House or would perhaps like to help in future projects please feel free to email us and tell us what you are good at. We might be needing a graphic artist soon ;)

I have one more thing to say. When there is a competition out that requires specific file types, that is due to the fact the user does not have other file types. Please try to stick to those specified file types because not everyone will email you back telling you they can't open it. They'll just throw out all your hard work without saying a thing. That's not something you want.

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

So I got this chain email and I thought it was funny. It was about a couple of seniors in some Montana high school. For a prank, they rounded up three goats, painted the numbers 1, 2, and 4 on their sides, then let them loose in the school halls. The administration staff then spent the whole day looking for goat #3. I thought it was pretty crafty and funny of the high schoolers to do. The only real prank I ever saw while I was at high school was when the seniors rounded up a bunch of 'For Sale' signs and put them up all over the front lawn of the school. Embarrassingly enough, my second high school did a less than lovely prank, they let this huge pig run in the halls. I was glad I was away that morning at another school.
