First Ever Order Sponsored Unity Dance!

[hiddengrace.livejournal.com]

Welcome, one and all to the first ever HiH Unity Dance. We at the Order are all about House Unity, and this dance has been our baby for quite some time. There will be discussions, games, activities for points, and a super secret team activity at the end.

The Dance starts now, and will end around 9:30pm EST! So please, come and see what it's all about!

Right now I'm going to ask everyone to sign in with their name, house, and one random fact about themselves. Mingle, chat, and say hello.

Please note: If you want to be involved in the activity that will be taking place around 9:00, please say so, because I will need to arrange teams for it. Also, those who are not signed in by 7:30 will, unfortunatley, not be able to participate either.

Also, I'd like to thank all the Order members who have been fantastic by helping plan this event. <3


My name is: Kat
I am in: Hufflepuff
Something random about me is: I like cheese!

And remember to say if you would or would not like to participate in the 9:00pm team activity. If you do not I will not include you.

ETA: The Team activity will be at NINE PM EST to  appease those  HOUSE fans who want to participate.

Welcome!

Something Random: I hate Disney's Sleeping Beauty in the pink dress - she was MOSTLY in the blue so stop dressing her in pink just to sell pink to little girls. Cindy's dress should be WHITE but marketing made it BLUE so Aurora got the SHAFT. I get very heated about this. ;D

[maaiker.livejournal.com]

Oh man I totally agree with you! I LOVE Aurora's BLUE dress! It was my fav Disney movie ever! (because her tiara, she has the most awesome tiara of all the Disney princess, and the most awesome prince, and the most awesome villain :D) It still saddens me that they dress her up in pink for the sake of selling ;.;

Something random is that this stuff that I'm eating right now is called Dutch Spiced Short Breads and I'm pretty sure most of you guys have ever heard of it because it's a special treat related to our Saint Nicolas festivities that usually start around december (but because the shops want to make some extra money now they start selling the treats already -.-). Random enough?

Something random about me is: I'm eating a box of Halloween Oreos. They're delicious. 8B

[slyfoxesq.livejournal.com]

Oooooh nom. Oreos are so good, ESPECIALLY the Halloween ones, but I never let myself buy them because I live by myself and their packaging is such that they go stale very quickly, and I do NOT need to eat an entire tray of Oreo cookies by myself. XD

Discussion: Wizarding Formal Attire

[hiddengrace.livejournal.com]

What kind of outfit would you design to wear to a dance? Why do girls seem to wear more traditional/muggle dresses, but guys wear dress robes? What do you think makes something a "formal" robe within the book (not movie) canon? Show us pictures if you want! (this discussion brought to you by the cracked out slyferret)

Post your comments in a reply to this thread, please.

Re: Discussion: Wizarding Formal Attire

[shann.livejournal.com]

I WANT TO WEAR DRESS ROBES. LIKE RON'S. WITH A POWDERED WIG.

Maybe what makes them "formal" are the fabrics they're made of, or the elegance factor. Like everyday robes are more casual and cheap looking and dress robes are stuffier and prettier. LOL I DUNNO, THIS IS HARD GUYS T__T

I guess dresses haven't changed too much from the old days? Aside from being less huge...

Quelquechose 'random' a moi: I was hooked up to an ECG and apparently telling people to shut up calms me down and slows down my heart rate.

i won't be participating in the 8:30 p.m. activity as I will be too enraptured with House.

[passion-heart.livejournal.com]

"Hitting" and "stabbing" people on the internet calms me down too. lol. I don't know how many websites I've stabbed and how many fanfic characters I've killed. I've lost count. lol.

Activity for Points: Fic Writing

[hiddengrace.livejournal.com]

Write a fic, one sentence and one house at a time, making the first letter in the sentence in alphabetical order. So the first line starts with A, the next with B, and so on. If you get to Z go back to A! No one from the same house may go twice in a row. The fic must have characters from at least 2 different houses.

Points: 2 points per line. Points cap of 20 points. That means no more than 10 comments per person.

And...go!

HI GUYS

I'm Amasa from Slytherin. And I am writing Japanese tanka right now. Very poorly.

I should probably get back to that. But I wanted to peek in and dance! Even if I can't do anything else. Boo, work. I can't REALLY participate in anything. BUT I'M LONELY. So lonely. Me and my tanka. My tanka and me. :[
