Congratulations! I’m Prefect Percy Weasley, and I’m delighted to welcome you to GRYFFINDOR HOUSE. Our emblem is the lion, the bravest of all creatures; our house colours are scarlet and gold, and our common room lies up in Gryffindor Tower. This is, quite simply, the best house at Hogwarts. It’s where the bravest and…

Aw really? I liked the first one. Way to go for fitting in your run! That's awesome.

Getting my hair played with, or watching someone get their hair played with. Same with back or foot massages. Bob Ross. Acoustic guitar. Certain people's singing voices or even some speaking voices. Rustling of book pages when someone is showing me something. Watching people put make up on. Lots of little things like that.…

Haha! That's funny, but I think there's some truth to needing rest :) Have a great weekend, friends!
-
That's ok, life happens! I really don't expect us all to be in here 24-7. We all have things to do, and I'd be satisfied with once or twice a week if we can swing it. Once a day is better, but not always realistic, and I get that :) I hope you get caught up soon, and your thyroid problem gets straightened out soon!

This is kinda what I'm thinking. I mean, I was poor, sure. But it's not like they WORK to lose the suckers. It'll happen even if you don't pay them.

I wonder how many posts I'd have if I said everything I wanted to say, instead of keeping my mouth shut.

I may not give it quite as much thought, but I agree with you. Words have the meaning you let them have based on all those categories. I think this is especially true when people who see an issue brought up that's close to their hearts. They jump strongly on whoever brings it up, but when someone brings up another issue…

I would ONLY get a geeky tattoo. I like the idea of getting one, but I don't like the permanence. I change my mind too much. Sometimes I draw geeky stuff with markers on my ankles and stuff, but that's about it right now.

That's seriously awesome. And I'm chalk full of jealous! I'm going someday, I just don't know when I'll be able to swing it. I can't wait!

Like, you're afraid it won't have funny moments and stuff? I'm not worried about that. Jo knows what makes a good book, and those moments are important. Before I ever read the Harry Potters, I was against reading them because they were 'trendy'. My bestie convinced me to just read one and NO JOKE one paragraph in to the…

I JUST saw it! I'm very excited and mostly curious as to how her writing will feel in this new setting. Obviously, I'm going to read it. :)

Someone suggested to me the other day that it could also be insulin intolerance, which is a lot of times controlled with eating fats and carbs and proteins in certain proportions. I haven't had a chance to really test it out, but perhaps you could try that before giving up bread. I know that's not pleasant sounding for me,…

Hi Serpents! I'm just giving you a heads up that April Week 1's results are posted in the Great Hall! Great work everyone!

Hi Eagles! I'm just giving you a heads up that April Week 1's results are posted in the Great Hall! Great work everyone! PS. Kelly, I really love KellyisNOTfat. It's got a nice ring to it. And CONGRATS, girl!

Hey Gryffs! How are we doing so far in Week 2? I'm off to a slow start because I'm still pretty sick (as much as I want to rebel, my body's telling me otherwise). I have our April Week 1 Prefects to announce! Remember, I've decided to name BOTH Prefects based on the two highest combined OWLs/NEWTs/SPEWs score, because the…

*drumroll please* It feels so good to have things sorted out again and to be posting results for you all! Here are the numbers for April Week 1: Hufflepuff is in the lead for the House Cup AND won this week's Quidditch Match by a land slide! (For the newcomers, House Cup is determined by House Points, and Quidditch Cup is…

Specifically, here: http://www.danoah.com/2011/11/im-christian-unless-youre-gay.html I love it a lot.
-
Oh no! I'd say if you rest it up it will feel better faster. The priority is your health!
-
That would impress me.

Hi Slytherin! A friend of mine graciously offered to come be your Head of House so Poorcopies can have some help. She's been on vacation this week, but she's ready to get started now! Her username is Kapeluza, and she should be by to introduce herself in the next day or two. This doesn't change anything that's already in…

You mean besides nearly ALL of them? The Incredibles and Meet the Robinsons.
-
No, but apparently this is the NEXT big war! Haha!
-
Y'all or ain't didn't start out as 'words' either, til you guys used it long enough. I don't find either terribly educated-sounding.I say ain't casually if I'm being silly, though. It just sounds like you got your delicate southern feelings hurt by the big bad yankees. *rolls eyes*
-
That's very kind of you, but I need to practice for exams anyways :) I'm sure I'll get it down in no time!
-
Selective bragging? Oh dear.
-
I say 'you guys'. I'm American but not southern. I never say 'y'all' unless I'm doing an impression.
-
And if you haven't double checked yet, here are the week 2 challenges! WEEK 2: (Starting after check-in between 4/6-4/9 and ending with check-in between 4/13-4/16) OWL (exercise): Plie Kicks! http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-Do-the-Plie-with-a-Kick-Exercise-230509508 If this is too tough for you, try it without the…

Hi, Gryffs! Sorry I haven't been around the Common Room much this week. I was sick for most of it, but I hope to do a lot better with at least posting once a day. So many of you kicked some major *kitten* with NSVs and such, and I couldn't be more proud! And an extra welcome to all our new Lions! I'm happy to have you with…

I do not like to let a joke opportunity slip past me.
