[best-bang-yet.livejournal.com]

Hey kids,

President Beeblebrox here, other wise known as "The best bang since the big one."

As I'm currently outrunning a few guys who feel that borrowing without intention to return intact is somehow punishable by lashing, I decided this would be a keen place to lie low.

I'm opening up registration for my class, "Fashion, Style, and all other things you need to know to be a Generally Hoopy Kid."

You lucky dogs.

I like to keep it wild and surprising, so there's not going to be a syllabus until the first day of class. This class is going to be a once a week deal, that goes down Thursdays at 4pm. Attendance is mandatory, unless you've got some hipper place to be.

Here are a few stipulations.

1. You must join the class with a partner. I can take 16 cats total, so that's eight pairs of partners.
2. You can't join with someone you know. Chat up a stranger, pair up in the comments, just get it done. Think of this as a way to sass out the hoopy from the tragically unhip.
3. Anyone who can float Principal Conner’s phone number my way gets…well, nothing, but it would definitely make you one heck of guy. Or girl. Or android.

EDIT: Registration will stay open until we have 8 pairs, or until the first class starts. Whichever comes first, you know?

There's an 6 A.M.???

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

*Curses. Slept most of yesterday with a hangover and is now awake way earlier than necessary. Gets up, gets it together, and heads out for food... and maybe more of that coffee stuff.*

*Nearly trips over nerdy guy sleeping in main hallway. Considers checking his pockets, but decides he's too scruffy to bother with. Spots That Damned Crate again, sitting outside the Admin office*

"Returned: Postage Due"? Oh, nice planning there...

...of course, since it seems rather abandoned forlorn all alone out in the hall here...

*Decides to check it out, for safety's sake, of course!... after all, who knows what could be stashed in there...? Heads back to nerdy guy, digs 'til she finds something vaguely computer-part-like in a pocket, and uses it to work open one edge of the crate.*

Now, what could have been important enough to put in a crate with all that postage on and ship home just as school's starting? Hmmmm???

*Gets corner open. Sees OMGWTF a leg?!?!?*

*Freaks! Loudly!*

Rosters as of the end of open enrollment

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

All right, here's the compiled lists of admin, teachers, and students as of the end of Sunday:

( Current rosters )

I've removed a few names -- teachers who haven't been around and students whose journals have been deleted -- and added everybody who asked to enroll today, as far as I know, with the exception of one character who's still coming as soon as they get an RP journal name to me. (And for the record, no more teachers. Seriously, I think we're good now.)

You should respond to this post if:

-- You enrolled before the previous cutoff or before today's open enrollment ended and you're not on the list.
-- You haven't yet received an invitation to join fandomhigh. (Everybody check your invites ... I was adding people as I went, so everybody on that list should either have an invite waiting or have already accepted it.)
-- Your character name, RP journal name, or fandom are listed incorrectly.

DO NOT respond to this asking to be added to fandomhighdorms or fandomhigh_ooc if you haven't already been invited to join. jerusalem_s is still working on that, so be patient. Also, for all of the newbies, fandomtownies is our only comm with open enrollment and fandom_lounge is only open to teachers to post in (although others can comment and watch).

Important links for anybody new to the school:

How to friend pretty much everybody, compiled by demonbelthazor
Fandom town halls, compiled by 2ls_in_oneill

And now, to bed with me.

I am such a softie...

[prof-hellboy.livejournal.com]

Ok, I understand we've got some new students, so we're gonna postpone tomorrow's class and keep enrollment open until tomorrow night.

God, I'm just beggin' to let you walk all over me...

Performing Arts Classes and Syllabus

[tearsofdawn.livejournal.com]

All classes will take place in a fluid-type of time so as not to interfere with the classes that you are already taking.

Theatre 101 : What is Drama? MWF
This course will cover the basics of stage movement, the different genres of stage and screen, and performing short scenes in front of the class. We will be watching different movies and stage productions as well, and discussing their merits and flaws. There may be guest speakers from time to time.

Theatrical Theory and Interpretation MF
This course will delve deeper into the origins of theatre and the part it has played in societies everywhere. There will be field trips to different productions in different realms. You will need permission slips.

Due to the intense nature of this course, only ten students will be accepted.


Theatrical Dance TTh
This course will cover all aspects of dance and the performance of dance. This is a sliding scale class, so no matter your profiency in dance, there will always be a challenge for you. We will study the different Dance methods and specialties and your final exam at the end of the semester will be a live performance.


Voice Performance: Choir TTh
This course will cover the training of your voice for singing in productions and making yourself be heard.


Advanced Theatre MWF
This course will be intense. From day one you will vote on two plays to be performed by the class for other classes at the end of the semester. We will work on the audition process, stage blocking, interpretation of lines, and how to interact with your fellow players.

This is a fast-paced course. If you are not positive that you can meet the demands and obligations, please do not enroll.


Directing 101 T
Directing 201 T
Directing 301 Th
These courses will focus on the more focused aspects of directing in the theatre and film. Each course is a semester long and at the end of the semester you will have learned the following:

101: What makes a good director as opposed to a bad director
201: How to make sure that you pick the right projects worthy of your skills and talents
301: How to put on a show from beginning to end


Theatre and Production
In this course you will learn all of the intricacies of producing your own show. This is a year-long course


In addition, I will be forming a Performance Arts Club. Auditions will take place next week. No matter what category of performing arts you fall into (Drama, Choir, Dance), the Club will be open to you. I will draw up a charter for the club sometime before auditions next week.

If this is something that may interest you, please reply in the appropriate thread.


Also, I find myself in need of two teaching assistants. Sawyer has volunteered to be one of them. Are you still interested in the position, Sawyer? TAs will get full course credit.


Looking forward to seeing you in my classes.

In the Library...

[valehero.livejournal.com]

Early this morning, Isaac finds himself wandering the aisles of the Library, when he comes across a couple of tables with strange glowing boxes. In curiosity, he sits down in a chair in front of one, staring into it. Looking down, he sees a strange rectangle with odd characters on it. "What in the name of the elements...?" He pokes a finger on one of the symbols and it presses down. Up on the shining box, the picture changes to one with different colors, and more strange symbols. Astonished, he leans back, holding an arm up defensively. "Great Gaia, it's alive!" In an instant, he is standing and disappearing far down an aisle.

Isaac has just discovered the miracle of technology...

[Journalism Lab]

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe is pacing the lab...well, pacing is not the word for it. She is moving slowly and stiffly and it's obvious she's in pain. However, her eyes are also flashing in defiance and her face is flushed. She frowns as she looks down at the bruises on her arms, and the nasty red burn mark from the handcuff that had rubbed her arm raw while she was stuck in that dishwasher.

She keeps looking to the door, waiting for someone to arrive.

Geology -- First Lab

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

*When the students enter the room, they will see paired stations complete with mineral samples and guidebooks.*

*The assignment for the day is relatively simple: identify each sample by either size, shape, color, or other characteristic.*

*The punishment for taking any of the samples--and yes, she is watching like a hawk--is organizing her physics notes. Trust me--you don't want to do that.*

Pair up--do the lab. Be sure to sign the roll sheet.

Journalism Class - Monday September 12

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Spider's cat is draped over one shoulder, smoking as usual, when he stalks into the classroom. He's carrying a box under one arm labeled, 'Gavin' and limping slightly.

"Nice to see so many of you here already," although his tone isn't exactly encouraging as he puts the box on the desk and dislodges the two-faced cat. "Take dictation. Anyone who doesn't have their homework in by Wednesday," and he turned, watching his words appear on the screen behind his desk, "will be forcibly ejected from my class."

Turning again, he scowled at the room at large. "For the new arrivals, I'm Spider Jerusalem, your Journalism professor. I don't want to be here and I hate you. Accept those two facts as being both incontrovertable and impersonal and we'll get on just fine. Thus far, I've been relatively lenient with my students but 90% of your grade is going to be on class participation and we haven't seen much of that so far."

Spider folded his arms and leaned back against his desk. "Every student who walks through those doors this morning is going to stop and address the class as to why they are taking Journalism this semester and what they expect to get from it. Assistant?" He looked over the top of his glasses at Phoebe and her bruises. "Have you been to the clinic for those yet?"

Wrestling Club!

[wrestlingsavant.livejournal.com]

Hi kids!

I've just been hired! Yay!

I just wanna get all the names of you who want to wrestle. It doesn't matter who or what you are, you'll all be accepted! Once we get everyone together, we can figure when it'd be good to hold practice, so no one gets left out, cause being left out isn't fun. ::chews on thumb a little::

Oh! And I'm gonna need a student coach, to help me so I can learn everyone's name faster, and make sure to take attendance, and maybe to go get me juice boxes when I'm thirsty.

My name is Coach Eugene, and I'm here to teach you how to wrestle!

Our current roster can be found Here!

Edit 1: Oh! And now I'm promising Juice Boxes and Orange Slices at every meeting!
Edit 2: Oh, we'll be meeting on fridays, 3:30-5:30. Hope that's okay with everybody!

Study Hall -- Monday, September 12th

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

Welcome to today's Study Hall, kids. For all you new students, Study Hall is an open daily post for me to make announcements and for students who are not in class to mingle, study, eat lunch, explore the lunch, cause incredible amounts of trouble that make me want to fucking fill them full of ammo, and other non-class-related activities.

Today's announcements:

-- New students should make sure they are signed up for three classes and an extracurricular activity (part-time jobs count). They must post once a week in each class they have (or more, depending on the teacher's guidelines, but that's a school requirement). Keep that in mind when taking a class.

-- Our first detention will be this weekend. For you newbies, detention is a room you never want to enter unless you were planning on losing limbs in this lifetime. If there are any teachers who wish to run detention this weekend, that would really help, as the principal will probably be (OOC: Off celebrating her mun's birthday early ... woohoo!) otherwise occupied.

-- Reports are coming from the cafeteria that after a rather strange taste-testing incident this morning, the staff recommends that you do not eat the chicken salad sandwiches. From what I heard, everybody who's tried them has turned into a chicken. Let's not overwhelm the school nurse with an overabundance of shape-shifting poultry today, shall we?

-- There's been a reported sighting of a zombie on the third floor of the dorm. Whoever raised the dead on school property without the proper paperwork will be immediately given detention this weekend. Oh, and if somebody could wrangle the zombie, that'd be nice.

EDIT: Also, by request ... fandomhighicons.

MWF Language Classes

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

All language students:

If you have requested to join a class, consider yourself enrolled. Class rosters will be updated throughout the week. Remember that Friday is your last day to ADD or DROP a class.

Because we have so many new people, all vocabulary quizzes are postponed until next week. We will still be doing sign-ups for class presentations this week: I would like to start those in two weeks.

I will cover last week's lectures during lab hours this week, except for Friday: this Friday's lab hours will be a showing of Wings of Desire, open to all interested students. I strongly encourage European language students to attend.

Office hours will be a game_of_you.

[OOC: There is a comment posted for each class to this entry. Please post your class participation beneath the class you're taking. Am working: will play when I can. This is mostly for students to interact.]

Lifestyle Seminar later today

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

I'll be setting up for the Lifestyle Seminar here in a couple of hours. My students -- do feel free to drop in at some point during the course of the day, I'll post again when I'm organised.

I'm still missing essays from neptune_wallace, rory__gilmore, _fleurdelacour and comewillingly. Please leave them in the tray here before you turn up at the seminar -- we need to bring everyone's ideas into the discussion, I'm sure you agree that that's fair. I was hoping for some really inventive and original work, bit I'm afraid a couple of pieces have been a bit uninspiring so far.

OOC - This post isn't the seminar (that'll be a new post), but it's an ideal opportunity to explain why a fellow student is going to miss class, or to provide wooly excuses as to why you haven't written anything for the assignment. Or, indeed, to bitch about the other students you'll be sharing class with.

OOC - or to bitch about me.

QUANTUM PHYSICS DEPARTMENT: COURSE INFORMATION

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[Tacked to the main school message board is the following, printed on slightly psychic paper.]

QPHY 123 Monday and Wednesday (chronofluid)
'I'm My Own Grandfather?!': Essential Quantum Theory for Beginners
This course will be a basic overview of what one needs to know in order to understand the basics of time travel. Of particular note will be sections on preventing harm to the spacetime continuum, the structure of the universe, and the limitations of temporal dynamics. Twenty student cap.

QPHY 305 Thursday (chronofluid)
'What's a Temporal Anomaly, Anyway?': Secondary Quantum Physics Seminar
This course goes beyond QPHY 123, focusing on more complex problems faced by the time traveller. Includes sections on stabilising wormholes and changing historical events without rupturing a society.

Hello, class

[jareth-the-king.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Class will be Mondays, Wednesdays, and possibly Fridays, all day. As long as people post that day, they are considered present. However, for your character's scheduling purposes, consider it magic time. Jareth has a busy schedule. He holds class whenever it suits him, and you can just get snatched over to the class when it starts and sent back at the same time when it's over--even when you're sleeping!]

Good Afternoon, students of fandomhigh!

My name is Mrs. Van De Kamp, and I am going to be chairing the Home Economics Department this year. I know that some of you may believe that Home Economics is a field of study that went out the way of the dinosaurs, but let me tell you, proper manners never go out of style.

Please sign up below, and indicate which class you would like to take. More specific details will follow at the first class meeting. And although Home Economics has traditionally been a female pursuit, I encourage both genders to sign up.

A NOTE

[conathon.livejournal.com]

Sawyer never thought himself as ``sappy`` but when it came to a certain girl, he really couldn't contain it. Besides, this was a 17 year old James we're talking about here, his Pa' was always the charmer in his younger days and he guess that James got that from him. He stared at the lined piece of paper in his hand, a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, he was sitting in a desk in his new dorm room which he shared with a weird female. Fun.

What to write, what to write.

Intro:

For this class, I will need you to write me an essay on the difference between ethnocentrism and cultural relativism. It will be due before next class (Wednesday). Either e-mail it to me or place it in my box.

-----

Egyptian Arch:

Slide identification! Pick your favorite Egyptian artifact and tell me when it was found, when it was from, and a small blurb on its significance.

-----

Linguistics:

This is our second class. Since the Greek alphabet is something not everyone is familiar on, I'll need you to study it. You'll be quizzed on it next class. Greek symbols will come up time and again, so it is important you know which is which.

Tech Systems: Monday. Day...whatever.

[humanenigma.livejournal.com]

Note: TAs. Each one of you needs to show up two days of the week, for both Tech Systems classes. That will serve for two credits: the Comp Sci one -and- either a PE credit OR Mystic Arts credit (expect training soon.). Fight amongst yourself Here.

Students: To get into my class, you just need to show up. There is no paperwork to get into Technology Systems. Computer Science 1A needs my permission, which is garnered through completion of a packet. Ask for it.
--

*Class today is much like the last one. In fact, the instructions on the board are the same.

'Go here, read the example (which teaches binary), and then complete the sheet. Homework if you don't finish, not if you do.'

Written in large letters underlined and such is 'Another Question: Why binary? Why use that system over another? There is more than one good answer. Will discuss 20 minutes before class ends'.

Question is finishing writing these up on the board when the students enter.*

Class, the work this week will be the same until I know who's in what class. Apologies. You who have finished this work once already, I have other work for you. *points to a few sheets of binary translation and math and such.*

If you have no idea whatsoever how to use a computer, try and snag a Mac. Normally, I won't espouse such favoritism, but must admit, Macs are easy to learn. They are the 'cute' looking computers.

Advanced Negotiations

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

OOC: All sections and Independent Study should comment to any course post. It feels really silly to post the same thing a couple times over.

IC:

*walks into class carrying only a large envelope*

Hello class. I trust your weekend was restful.

*She looks around and noted several hungover faces*

Or not.

Today we have only one topic and of course to turn in last week's assignment.

*She pulls out a picture from the envelope and tacks it to the board*

This is our subject for today. Harmless looking, oh yes, but deceptively so. It is a living example of how something can look one way, but then prove to be something entirely different. This is a reality to which you much get used to quickly as deception is something that you will all face in your lives if you have not already to some degree. We will discussion deception in more detail next time.

For now, I want this:

How would you realistically go into advanced negotiations with a tree that attacks people? Is it even possible? If it is, explain in detail and in real time, try to negotiate with said attack tree. If negotiations are not possible, how would you go about dealing with the tree? Then, in real time, try putting an end to the tree's reign of terror. To the victor goes the reward of a perfect core and a ride in my ship to your destination of choice.

Junior Achievers

[demonbelthazor]

Met the new neighbor in study hall. He's forming a "Junior Achievers" club that seems like it's going to be very interesting. We're going to meet here in my room at 6:00 with some of the other people who are interested.

Rory perches on the edge of a table in the cafeteria, and faces the people assembled there.

"Hey everyone. Thanks for coming. Now, we're going to conduct this meeting in an organized way, since there are so many of you.

First off, just so you know, meetings will be held at this time every Monday. If you have a scheduling conflict, please let me know.

I know quite a few of you have expressed interest in doing various things, but there are so many new people that I'm going to start a new staff list. So do me a favor and introduce yourself if we haven't met, and let me know what you're interested in doing.

To my photographers: I'd like to see a sample of your work, just for the sake of knowing what sort of features you'd be best at covering. [ooc: Just find a photo online or something. I don't care what it is - just PLEASE keep it clean!]

To my writers: I need you to know how to write thoughtful and classy captions. So, please write a statement about someone you see at this meeting as if you were briefly describing them to a stranger, so that I have a sample of your writing.

Those who are interested in layout exclusively: I need you to be people who are insanely organized. Please tell me the organizational system you use in your room, home, car, or whatever.

To those interested in becoming editors: ( There are six editorial positions available. )

Remember: everyone is welcome to participate in the yearbook, and if you don't know what you might be good at, I can help you find something. And, of course, feel free to ask me any questions you may have."

Rory concludes her speech, and smiles.

Today we will discuss these systems: Democratic, Authoritarian, and Totalitarian. Who can tell me what they are. We all come from different places. Which do you think your own government's style is? Please explain in a one page paper for next week.

Afternoon Ride

[death-n-binky.livejournal.com]

DEATH, having decided that perhaps Binky is lonely, decides to get some riding in. However, unmindful of mortal customs, he begins riding around the school halls, through both people and walls.

Those that can see things of a magical nature/paranormal nature are greeted with the sight of DEATH riding a great, white horse. Those that cannot feel a distinct uneasiness as DEATH passes by, or fall into a momentary and horrifying daze if unfortunate enough to be passed *through*.

Cookery course

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Hello, it's your lifestyle coach again. England just won the Ashes, with the fifth test drawn.

A few students have mentioned to me that they don't know how to cook, or that they wished that someone was offering cookery classes.

If anyone wants to come to my classroom around this time tomorrow, I'll see if I can teach you all how to put together a simple meal.

Please bring a set of ingredients with you -- something suited to your particular physiology and metabolism, obviously. I'll have some basics here already -- water, salt, Hagra biscuits, a bottle or two of That O'l Janx Spirit, and so on.

Anyone seen attempting to cook one of the other students or staff will be given an instant detention.

This class will be open to staff as well as students.

I'll post again tomorrow at the start of class.

Early afternoon, Monday

Anya tries to collect herself as she waits at the bus stop (located, conveniently enough, on the border between school and the town). Today she had attempted to track down the "duplicate" Xander; instead, she had stumbled across Buffy's old ex-boyfriend skulking around in a dorm room-- no doubt working undercover, just like Buffy-- lousy disguise, but she supposed there wasn't much he could do about looking thirty all the time.

So she'd passed the message along, passed the problem onto Buffy, and that should have lifted a weight off her shoulders because after all, Buffy always eventually takes care of everything. Now that she thinks more about that Angel encounter, though, some of the items on the other side of the room looked awfully familiar. The colorful button-up shirts, the comic books... it looked just like Xander's things at home. Except that none of them had been lovingly ironed with great care and sacrifice thank you very much.

She starts to get a headache. She'll just have to do some more detective work at home tonight. "I hope Buffy hurries it up and finds some answers."

World History Class

[abe-no-seimei.livejournal.com]

Introduction to World History to 1600 (Terran)
Monday 1:00-3:00 pm

Seimei glides in to class and bonelessly reclines at his writing desk which is situated low to the ground and surrounded by pillows. All the desks in his classroom follow a similar design. All chairs have been removed to be replaced by large, square, low tables with pillows strewn about for comfort.

He picks up his brush and unrolling a scroll, begins to write.

Once completed he rises and tacks it up on the wall behind him. On it, in neat handwriting and legible for all to read, is the following:

Discussion question –

Define hydraulic civilization and discuss what role religion played in the development of them.

See fandomhigh_ooc for OOC commentary on History Classes.

Fashion, Style, and all other things you need to know to be a Generally Hoopy Kid update.

[best-bang-yet.livejournal.com]

Alright kids and primates,

The big Z's class is almost full, but there are four slots one slot! left. Remember the cardinal rules:

1. You must join the class with a partner.
2. You can't join with someone you know. Chat up a stranger in town, pair up in the comments, just get it done.

If you can do the math, that's two more pairs of partners.

EDIT: Also, I need a right hand sentient being, ya know? Someone to wake me when I'm drunk assist me in the education of our youth. That' right, I'm on the look out for T&A, preferably of a certain blonde principal a T.A.

EDIT: One slot left. Whoever signs up gets to pair up with Bender, a really froopy kind of bot. You lucky kids.

Missing students?

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

I'm afrad that I've had neither written work nor seminar attendance from neptune_wallace, rory__gilmore and _fleurdelacour.
To have missed one or the other, on the first week, is bad enough -- but to miss both is a problem.

I hope that they intend to repair that omission in the next couple of hours -- the course is already oversubscribed, and I'm being pressured to accept more students.

No doubt if there are sound reasons of which I'm unaware, someone will mention it.

Edit: Wallace has turned up, Rory has withdrawn. Fleur?

*panting*

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

*runs into her room, slams the door and shuts herself against it panting*

That BITCH!! That stupid BITCH, who the hell does she think she is... Hit me with my own notebook *pants* Stupid Bitch!!! *pants* *steadies her breathing* .....

*inhales* She's going to regret that

East Asian History

[abe-no-seimei.livejournal.com]

East Asian History
Monday 6:00-8:00 pm

The second class in the room of the day, Seimei spent a few moments with Mitsumishi, straightening the pillows and tables in preparation for the class.

He sank to the floor and pulled out another scroll, and with his brush, wrote in large letter the following:

Discussion question –

Security and prosperity in Egypt came to an end late in the Sixth Dynasty due to what economic conditions?

See fandomhigh_ooc for OOC commentary on History Classes.

First Meeting of Science Club

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

The first meeting of Science Club will start now. If you are new and want to sign-up, the Science Club Bulletin Board and applications are next to the Bio Room in the Science Wing.

I managed to grab a few microwaves that people were just leaving on the sidewalks in town during the last big moving period. Why let them go to waste by letting them end up in a landfill?

I dragged them out back behind the school, so if anything blows up, Ms. Sidle won't freak out too much Principal Connor won't pop a cap in our asses no one will get hurt.

Grab a Microwave and Conduct Your Own Experiment.

Please write a quick report and let us know how your experiment goes so we can all learn from your experience. You might want to find another club partner to work with, just in case.

Also, feel free to leave any suggestions for future projects. Ix-nay on the uclear-nay omb-bays, though.

Question...

[tearsofdawn.livejournal.com]

Different realms have different rules, I understand this.

However...this place seems to be a mixture of so many different realms and I do not wish to offend or scandalize.

What is the policy on student/teacher relations?

(no subject)

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

*cracks open her door looking up and down the hallway, takes a step out into the hall, still looking*

*thinking* No sign of mparker16  that bitch better stay away from me. *Walking out further into the hallway*. This is stupid, I'm not afraid of little Ms. Parker. *looking around again*

*Walks cautiously down the hallway keeping her eye out for mparker16 *

*Chuckles to herself... Little Ms. Parker with the big STD*  Little Ms. Parker better watch her boys *smiles* Or Little Ms. Parker just might catch an STD.

Psychology Signups (CLOSED)

[crazyvampchick]

*wanders in with a vague, unfocused look*

Spike? Where have you gone? Away...

*puts hand to forehead, moans briefly*

Students, all lost. Teachers... Chaos.

*pauses, looks straight at everyone*

My name is Drusilla, and this-- *holds up doll* --is Miss Edith. We shall be teaching Psychology.

Miss Edith tells me that she wishes to teach Developmental Psychology, which is boring and good and nice.

I will be teaching Abnormal Psychology, which is for everyone except nasty, naughty girls who want to remake the world in their image and take my darling Spike from me. *glares at any Sunnydale people around*

Please comment sign the roster-- *posts roster* --and let Miss Edith know if you wish to take Developmental Psychology and let me know if you wish to take Abnormal Psychology.

OOC: Anyone can sign up for either class, but Sunnydale White Hats might want to be wary of occasional random homicide attempts or bouts of hypnosis. Which, y'know, could be fun, actually. But I figured I'd warn you.

Also, class will be held on a random basis due to the nature of Dru's insanity and the 'mun's lack of spare time. Which means it should be good for anyone with an insanely full schedule.

ETA: No Developmental Psychology. Only two signups.

*is wandering the halls, a rather confused expression on his face*

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

All right, note to self: no more buying computer parts from shady-looking guys in back alleys.

*continues wandering down the halls, every-so-often opening a door and peering in*

*tries to walk down the hall while peering over a stack of papers everal feet high* *mutters angrily about height*

Anybody seen [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] lately? I've got to get him to sign this stack of applications so I can issue the damn library cards to everyone.

*Gunshots*

Marty runs through campus...

Roaming around.

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

After an interesting encounter and subsequent trip to the clinic, Medusa takes a walk around campus in the fading light. Death goes riding by, and she pokes her tongue out at him.

Wandering around in the gloaming, she reflected on her class schedule.

It was dark. She liked the dark. And besides, she heard that the most interesting creatures came out after dark..

*Hammers fist on Death's Door*

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Hey! You in there?! I need to talk!

*Hammers on door again*

Rory discovers the PA system...

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory strolls into the admin building, and finds the PA system.

"Hello?" she asks, her voice echoing out louder than she expected. "Look," she says, gaining confidence, "I know more people wanted to be on yearbook. We're missing like 20 people who signed up before. So in case you missed it, we're meeting in the cafeteria."

She nervously sets down the mic, and then picks it up suddenly. "And our teachers and staff are awesome. Especially Principal Connor and Professor Jerusalem." Since they're the ones who really scare me.

She sets down the mic and runs out of the room before she's caught there.

To whoever gives a shit...

So this is high school...

[notashepherd.livejournal.com]

I've been enrolled here for two days now, and I must say... things are going according to plan. I've found several very interesting people to be enrolled here as well.. quite a cross-culture of individuals.

So far, I've enrolled myself, officially, in two courses, and I've applied to be in one other. I do hope I am accepted. It seems to be an interesting course. I've turned in an assignment for Professor Jareth, and look forward to Professor Grissom's Death & Dying course. I can only hope there is still space in Professor Gandalf's Comparitive Religions course.

I've also developed an interest in somebody named Jayne's weight lifting club. It is essential for me to remain in top physical condition. Working muscles also tends to aid one in remaining in the same position for lengths at a time, which is very important when observing meditating.

I have, at least, managed to secure a single room. My.. prayer and meditation... cannot be disturbed by loud noises or lengthy conversations with my roommates.

It is now time to... settle in for the evening.

Anon Email

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

A mass email goes out on the student list:

To: student_mailinglist@fandomhigh.edu
From: no_way@screwyou.org
Subject: leeadama's wild night - PICS!!!

HEAR his wonderful singing voice! [link to apollosings.mp3]
SEE him do bad things with a gremlin! [link to apollogremlin.html]
WITNESS leeadama's evening antics! HERE!

[edit: Due to an ooc comment by leeadama, please consider there to be blurry yet graphic pictures of leeadama's genitalia, and a somewhat light-spotted picture of him in a mirror, holding said genitalia, clearly indicating that he took the pictures himself. There's also a fairly compromising picture of him with what looks like a statue of a gremlin.]
