[14:06] [BaPo] Welcome at the Gryffindor December House Meeting! Grab a cookie and a butterbeer, then we can get started.
[14:06] [BaPo] But first a couple of rules. We don’t want our Common Room to become a mess now do we? (well actually BaPo doesn’t want to clean up so yeh). Anyway.
[14:06] [BaPo] First of all, everyone but the channel operators (those with the pretty @ in front of their names) have to turn their colours of. You do this by typing /remote off.
[14:06] [BaPo] You're done with that? Good. Next up, do listen carefully as this is veerrry important. When you have a comment, type "!" and wait for an operator to call on you. You have to type your comment while waiting and you may then comment when you are called. (we don’t like waiting :D)
[14:06] [BaPo] er
[14:06] [BaPo] it cut off didn't it
[14:06] [BaPo] You have to type your comment while waiting and you may then comment when you are called. (we don’t like waiting :D)
[14:06] [BaPo] ) If at any time during the time you are waiting to be called on you decide that you no longer want to comment, please type "-!" and then no one will call on you. The same goes for questions but instead of using ?/-?, you use ?/-?. Got it? Yes? Right, good.
[14:06] [BaPo] *waits till everyone read it*
[14:07] [BaPo] And questions/comments so far?
[14:07] [BaPo] *throws mic in the air*
[14:07] [BaPo] *catches it*
[14:07] [BaPo] So, kk, first topic. The December Den Challenge! The goal is to write poems about the Harry Potter books. Check out your Dens for the exact assignment. Please work on this challenge as good as possible, because the activity is what makes a Den loads of fun.
[14:07] [BaPo] So any questions, comments?
[14:09] [BaPo] sounds like nothing :D
[14:09] [BaPo] *throws mic into the air again*
[14:09] [BaPo] *catches it between her teeth*
[14:09] [BaPo] Second topic, the First Friend Project. Are you a new student who doesn’t really get around on HOL? Would you like someone to show you around?
[14:09] [BaPo] Or are you an older student and would you like to help the new students? In this case you can sign up for the First Friend Project. Take a look at it here: http://hol.org.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=19722
[14:09] [BaPo] Questions, comments?
[14:09] [BaPo] (man this is gonna be a short house meeting <_< )
[14:10] [BaPo] No? D:
[14:10] [BaPo] No one who is all like "gawd I wanna sign up?"
[14:10] [BaPo] in that case
[14:10] [BaPo] *hits Arde with the mic*
[14:10] [Ardeliah] *catches it*
[14:10] [Ardeliah] (Opens can of recycled spam)
[14:10] [Ardeliah] Hello Gryffindors! My Mommy hat is still on. Has everyone seen our ranking for the house cup? We have to keep our selves busy earning points if we want to win. Being in last place is a sad place to be. So get out there and earn us some more points.
[14:11] [Ardeliah] The easiest way would be to complete all of your homework on time and attempt your extra credit. It doesn't have to be perfect, (though it could be) even partial points are better than none
[14:11] [Ardeliah] HOL library projects are always good for a few points. There is a library project up that sounds like fun, so why don't you tell us what a bunch of witches and wizards would do loose in Hogsmeade the night before Christmas? Look over here to post your stories http://hol.org.uk/library.php?mode=view&code=46
[14:11] [Ardeliah] There is also your getting into Harry Potter tale. It can be found here http://hol.org.uk/gihp.php
[14:11] [Ardeliah] And if you feel so inclined there is a collabrative writing project on going in the library. It can be found here http://hol.org.uk/library_writing.php?view=write
[14:11] [Ardeliah] Just sign up and write a chapter, within the guidelines and earn more yummy points.
[14:11] [Ardeliah] The art department has stuff too. Your HOL trading card can be found here http://hol.org.uk/tcards.php
[14:12] [Ardeliah] As avid fans of our very own Paw Print we should also be interested in what the other houses papers have to say. You can influence what is in them by submitting your own articles for them and earn points if it is used and published. Isn't it just lovely to see the Serpentimes/Alte Sententiam/Wizarding Times with articles by Gryffindors.
[14:12] [Ardeliah] So get out there and be active peoples. Or next time we may not be so nice about it. :D
[14:12] [Ardeliah] *Flings the mic high in the air*
[14:12] * BaPo catches
[14:12] [BaPo] k
[14:12] [BaPo] So this is completely improvised
[14:12] [BaPo] But
[14:12] [BaPo] I was wondering whether you, Gryffindors, have any suggestions to make Gryffindor more fun
[14:12] [BaPo] After all you are the students, and it's your opinion that counts
[14:12] [BaPo] (I'd like people to reply to this questions :D)
[14:13] [BaPo] hmmm
[14:13] [BaPo] Arde, what would you like to see in gryff?
[14:13] [Ardeliah] more chocolate frogs?
[14:13] [Jonathan] !
[14:13] [BaPo] Jonathan?
[14:14] [Jonathan] I hear there's a den challenge based on Ronja Liek
[14:14] [Jonathan] 's idea...
[14:14] [BaPo] Oh...
[14:14] [BaPo] You have heard rumours?
[14:14] [BaPo] Well - Ronja and I are going to organise a challenge for all gryffindors
[14:14] [BaPo] You will see in January
[14:15] [Ardeliah] I'm not sure really, I love doing writing challenges. Maybe some more challenges. Shorter ones that have nothing to do with the main monthly ones. Like crosswords and sudoku and word seekers.
[14:15] [BaPo] Then we will get started with it ^^
[14:15] [Jonathan] What if the students helped with ideas for some den challenges.
[14:15] [BaPo] (Arde - you're a lucky girl - read up :D)
[14:15] [BaPo] I will propose that, Jonathan
[14:15] [Jonathan] Actually, I heard from M.issa...
[14:16] [BaPo] I'll try whether I can arrange a topic like they have in the library
[14:16] [BaPo] for new projects
[14:16] [BaPo] but in this case new den challenges
[14:16] * KylieD (cgiirc@pool-71-115-163-96.gdrpmi.dsl-w.verizon.net) has joined #gryffhousemeeting

[14:17] [BaPo] <@BaPo> I was wondering whether you, Gryffindors, have any suggestions to make Gryffindor more fun

[14:17] [BaPo] (that's to you, Kylie)
[14:17] [BaPo] (so if you have any suggestions, spit it out :D )
[14:17] [KylieD] sorry I'm late, I had volleyball. Um, no suggestions at the moment.
