Okay. I've decided it's time for me to get off the failboat/modly tower of doom and grab a ticket back to catching up in my own game, and I figured the best place to start would be backstorying with all the new people. Only the problem here is that there have been like 25 new characters since I last was able to backstory, soooo I'm going to take the cheap way out. Here are my kids, comment if you have ideas for lines with them!

Aggie McLaggen, 7th year Gryffindor (aggrieved)
Garrett Flint, 7th year Slytherin (steeled)
Sam Carmichael, 6th year Hufflepuff (this journal)
Hal Gillespie, 5th year Ravenclaw (cheekily)

(Oh, and this is Mod!Lauren for all of you who haven't had the pleasure of one of my surprise attacks!)

Hey all.

I realize I've been very scarce for the past week or so. It wasn't my intention to just sort of disappear without warning. I had a personal issue that likes to rear its ugly head every now and then come to the surface last week, and I've had rather a hard time dealing with it. On top of that, my boss has been extremely demanding and rude for the past few days, so I've been having to focus extra-hard on work to try to do the impossible there. So I'm sorry if you've IMed me lately and I haven't responded, or if you're waiting on my kids to reply to your journal entries or intros; just going through a small rough patch at the moment, nothing to be alarmed about.

I will be back in full force soon, and at partial force even sooner, I hope! I love you all.

HELLO MY LOVELIES! This is Lauren, the other half of your mod team. I was entertaining my cousin who's in town last night so I unfortunately missed out on the fun, but here I am now! A little about me: I'm 25, currently live in Austin, Texas (although I'm originally from Orlando, Florida), and am about to begin a yearlong leave of absence from my doctoral program, AKA "The First Time In 20 Years That Lauren Will Not Be In School." I fortunately have a very flexible job and will probably be online a lot while I'm working. I love writing and reading and partner dancing and video games, and have been giving myself HTML lessons (so if things get a little messy around our pages, it's probably me fiddling). I'm FamiliarGleam on AIM, familiargleam@gmail.com, and because I lack any sort of originality, my CDJ is verdigris (though I am in the process of shopping for a new CDJ name). Feel free to ping me whenever you like!

Now, on to more important matters:

YOUR LINES! THROW THEM AT ME!
