Brooke Summers packs a punch like a roman candle

I AM GOING TO KILL HIM. FUCK IT.

So. Who is your favorite Disney character? If that is to hard, favorite hero/heroine and your who is your favorite sidekick?

Mine would be Maximus, the horse from Tangled.

Salem, save Riley
Hey. So does anyone know what's up with Riley? He's been ...off since the Gala. At least.
End Ward

Riley
So. You're not your normal bubbly self. What's up, bubbles?

So, how was everyone's Christmas? I went home to Massachusetts only to come back across the Pond for the big shindig tomorrow. Dad's been visiting friends and all that. Anyone up to doing anything before the Gala?

Meanwhile, an excerpt from Devilish Diversions.

He slithered his body up onto hers. His stare was intense, full of the dichotomy of him—loving and ice cold. She felt possessed, like he was marking her as his, while tempting her to do just the same. He was almost daring her to meet him, testing the waters. Even though she could feel his assertive nature telling her he would not be denied, she also felt his overwhelming need to claim her and the tinge of doubt which still edged it.

She knew for a time he would still be damned by the self-loathing of his old demonic nature. The memories would not go away. She imagined that it would take some time for his mind to catch on that he could not lose control and shift, that the physical representation of the scaly crimson serpent no longer lived within him. It was her personal mission to change that for him, and she could start now by giving herself up freely, allowing him to see her needy nature when it came to him.

You're welcome.

So, to celebrate the end of exams, the evening of the 21st, I will be throwing a dance party in the Room of Requirement. No pressure to do anything except to let off a little steam. Please and thank you.

I thought career day was an excellent way to spend a Friday. Not that I dislike my classes, but a nice change of pace. It was also quite interesting to see all the sorts of job opportunities there are here, across the pond. I do think I'll be taking a job back in the States though.

Warded to Dom Weasley
So, it hasn't escaped my notice that in a week and a half exams will be over and we'll all be off on our separate ways for the holidays. In the mean time, most people are freaking out about said exams. Clearly they all need a stress relief. I say dance party.

Since you were so excellent in arranging our joint birthday party, essentially letting me tag along for the ride, I was hoping I could return the favor? Or at least pick your brain.

So after being exposed to some misconceptions about American Thanksgiving, I was quiet disheartened. After speaking with my wonderful teammates, however, it was pointed out to me that some of you may be confused and that the best way to clear up any of this confusion was to show you all how we Americans like to celebrate.

Now, I'm sure many of you are thinking didn't we already celebrate Thanksgiving. Well yes, yes we did. We celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving, which takes place on the second Monday of October, growing out of the tradition of the European harvest festivals. It has been celebrated as such since 1957. American Thanksgiving commonly celebrates some of the United States' earliest colonies and their survival during the harsh winters, also harvest festivals, but mostly because the Pilgrims (in Plymouth) didn't die of hunger. It has been celebrated as such (roughly) since 1863.

Now that the history lesson is over, I would like to invite you all to an American Thanksgiving, presented by the Salem Quidditch team. It will be taking place during dinner next Thursday and we will be cooking both Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. If you would like to lend a hand, you are more than welcome to!

The menu (so far):
• Roast turkey
• Cranberry sauce
• Mashed potatoes
• Green bean casserole
• Sweet potatoes
• Honey glazed carrots
• Stuffing
• Corn
• Tossed salad with vinaigrette dressing
• Pumpkin Pie
• Apple Pie

Okay new plan. My anger has subsided. It was like flames. Flames. On the side of my face. Why get mad when you can get even?

Thanksgiving is next Thursday. So I may be crazy, but I was thinking about possibly combining Will's idea of doing a tailgate with showing that bitch those who may be misinformed about Thanksgiving how we celebrate it.

A) Please tell me I'm not crazy.
B) Please tell me you'll help and help cook your favorite dishes.
C) Please, please tell me I'm not crazy.

Dear God. If someone doesn't give me a good reason not to, I am going to slug that blond bitch.

Blondielocks is going down.

So I was talking to Riley the other day and my family came up, which reminded me they're across the Atlantic ocean. Cue the violins and homesickness. So here are some of my favorite pictures of my family.

( OOC: Cut for kindness to your flists )

Well, shit, that hurt.

Good game, everyone. I look forward to the next one.

Private
Well that was more difficult than I thought. We'll work harder for the next game.

Well, I just got more excited for Halloween and the shin dig that comes with it.

[Ward to Louis]
So, I realized I haven't actually spoken with you much. This needs to change.

Sadly, I won't be going as anyone from Watchmen (I have a very geeky younger brother to thank for understanding that reference), but I'll be sticking in the fantasy theme of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. You know who she is? I will be charming my hair blond for the night. Hopefully that won't step on your ego

So favorite cookie (biscuit): chocolate chip or snickerdoodle or other?

Wicked game, everyone! It was terribly exciting. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

[Private to Salem players]
So, Dominique Weasley and I have the same birthday, tomorrow. So I am extending her offer for you to come to the part. Well, not just extending the offer. I fully expect you all to show up so we can do some team bonding.

Don't worry team captain and prefect, we'll behave ourselves.

I know what I'm going to be for Halloween. Two Words: Buffy Summers. For those of you in the know, don't ruin the surprise. For it will be epic.

And now, a selection from the masterpiece of literature, Piracy and Pleasure:

There was a fire in the captain's eyes as he removed the manacles that had chafed at her delicate wrists. Her newly released hands flew to his belt buckle, making short work of it and his salt-stained breeches. With an eagerness that was still somehow edged with timidity, she freed his quivering member.

And this is why pirates will always persevere over ninjas.

Your welcome.
