If Obernet was a Real Life Corportation...How would a standard day go for you?
8:00am
Sit down in the Guildhall on time this morning, and pour over the stack of current issues with a couple of the MoOs and Guardians. Answer PMs - issue Member only passwords. Change the censored words list to forbid the word 'pineapple' and post a new copy of it on the notice board (:P)
9:00am
Check in on the Dining Hall for some breakfast. Revel in the organised mess. Cat-Eyes is hosting hangman on one of the whiteboards. The never-ending musical voting game is continually being updated by Timm. So far, Queen look to be winning by about 400 points.
The winningness is being tossed around like a hot potato. It flies in my direction and just as I am about to finish the game and eat it, Gambit grabs it from me and runs. HoD and Rilla chase after her giggling. Buneater, Flit and Clare are sitting at a table either combating their non-offensive Tourette's or going for a record on the Word Association challenge.
When an overcooked piece of spinach hits me in the face (thrown by none other than Miska!) I think it might be time to leave...
10:00am
Look in on the members only area, and gave a few grugs to people who need them.
10:30am
On my way to the Theories hall, run past the Dreambook and remember to log the strange dream I had about the Big Brother house last night.
11:00am
Enter the Theories Hall. Don my 'Druid is Salamander' button and 'Matthew is the Destroyer' hat.
Miky is listing all the admirable qualities of Dameon in a corner with a distant smile on her face.
Omega is sitting with Dark One, discussing the wolves. I join in for a half hour or so. Kalyan's trying to figure out where the weaponmachines are, asking table after table of people for opinions. I give her my two cents on the issue and she notes something on a clipboard then moves on to the next table. Wanderer is leafing through records, scripts and books, looking for something important. Kayt clomps into the room, wearing her exceptionally large 'boot', so I sit back and wait for some discussions to begin...
2:00pm
OUSH, spent far too long in the Theories hall. You won't believe how interesting a discussion on misfit super weapons and Jik's death can get! Quickly run back to the Dining Hall for a late lunch. The winningness is in Elixa's hands, and she's dangling from the lamp just out of reach of the other players.
3:00pm
Duck into the Library for a quick read. Run into Duck. Start a discussion on the design of the Members area and how the aesthetics may be improved, which inevitably turns into a tongue-in-cheek discussion on PC vs Macintosh. Luckily, Megana and Dark One show up and mediate, making Duck and I see sense of each other's arguements...for the moment.
The library is very calming. Lol and blindmouse are pouring through books to try find a quote or character in the challenge they've set for each other. Brydie and Buneater are studiously writing something, looks of concentration on their faces. I leave them be and move on. Emerald is sitting at her desk maintaining her records - I nod hello and let her go on with her business.
5:00pm
Back to the Dining Hall for dinner. Manage to catch up with quite a lot of people that I missed during the day too! Omega was on auction and being bid upon furiously by Maria and Miska. Javo ends up throwing us out after Timm and Megana start throwing cheese at the Wanderers Guild table.
6:00pm
Head with the others over to the Mystics Cavern for some chocca and a catch-up.
7:00pm
Head back to the Theories Hall and settle into some lively discussions for the night.
10:00pm
Get a bit carried away in there again. Head back to the Dining Hall to check everything's been cleaned up...it hasn't! Avra and Brownie now seem to be suffering from Tourette's. Timm is in the process of firing Javo. Omega has escaped the bidders, who are now negotiating terms without him.
11:00pm
Wander past the Moonfair planning room on the way back to my room. Peek inside and see Lauren asleep with her head on the table. :)
If Obernet was a Real Life Corportation...How would a standard day go for you?
8:30am
Sneak into the Guildhall late, hoping nobody has noticed that my absence cunningly coincided with the discussion of signatures. Scan over the previous meetings Minutes (that I'd missed due to oversleeping and various wanderings) and speak briefly about the Writing Competition, General Debate, Character Pages and other guild related displays of talent. I distract several of the MoOs and Guardians from more serious issues with trite remarks before moving onto answer PMs - giving out passwords, answering enquiries about writing comp etc. Check the censored list to see if Pants has been changed.
9:30am
Check in to the Wanderers Hall to greet my friends, read over Brownie, Brydie, Kayt and Half-Empty-Teacups latest letters and competitions, play a few games and see if anyone needs a hand organising things.
10:00am
Scurry over to the Members Messageboard to greet new obernetters, making sure they have their ample share of timtams, chocolate biscuits and tasty things. Half-Empty Teacup is sipping tea, Flit's giving out picnic baskets and Rilla is talking about Cirque de Soleil. I check to make sure the Writing Comp notes are up to date before sitting to listen to Blindmouse perform a beautiful requiem - inspiring all its listeners to make their own "Where are They Now?" Dark-One is not far away, discussing Sci-fi shows with Miky, Flit, Emerald, Lol and Maeve.
11:00am
Warm glowing feelings of communal pride incite me to drop in on the Member's Only Section and revisit all the familiar faces and places recorded in the Traveller's Archive aka Members Photos. Itchy feet compel me to check up on all the Meets and Expeditions being planned in various states. Miska seems to be appears to have invented some kind of timetravelling device that allows her to appear at three different Meets in three different states at the one time. Avra is directing people with giant red arrows and Buneater is marking everyone with giant red spots depending on where they are in the room. Omega is about preaching the Word of Fergal and the poor Lady writing the Personal Advice columns is looking harried and overworked. Before I know it, an hour has passed and I quickly move along the remaining tables to offer chocolate to those in need (and to pick up any spare limbs that might have accidently fallen from the discard bins).
12:30am
Realised I haven't eaten in several hours and duck into the Dining Hall at Lunchtime to see how the Musical Point Game fares under the hawk-like eye of Timm. Josh Groban's been eliminated and all our hardwork getting rid of Greenday has been overruled. Vow to get revenge against Killing Heidi. Casually eat a few pieces of non-squished fruit I find lying about on the ground. Shrieking noise can be heard from the Winningness thread and in the distance Avra and Cat-Eyes can be heard in a battle of the Monkey Island ringtones. Yet, the Dining Hall seems quieter than usual... I wander over to the Dameon vs Rushton table. A lone cleaner is moping up blood. Noticing my alarm, the cleaner points to a girl nursing her foot. . Kayt is seen hovering nearby looking both contrite and indignant at the same time. I begin to suspect The Foot had been put down again. Amused, I wave at everyone and before leaving, I add a token oddity to an empty corner of the room.
2:00pm
Duck into SR Plus for a screening of "Whose Line is it Anyway" and to watch the first part in a serial play. I thank the lucky stars that, like the Globe, the plays ran non-stop 24 hours and I could duck in an out and not miss a moment! Briefly I walk past Mongoose Lane and remind myself to pass on a message to Lady Clare informing her that The Lady Mysterious (to whit: her) was in the area.
2:30pm
Poke my head into the Library to see what movies people were recommending and to join the growing congregation of people milling around William Goldman's The Princess Bride. Wanderer is giving those interested a guided tour of Musicals, Film and Novels. Eddings-bashers such as myself quail under his stern gaze [img]http://s3.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif" alt=":D" border="0"/> Kayt, Flit, Lol, Blindmouse and Buneater are covertly seeking character quotes and hiding the spines of the books from everyone's view.
3:00pm
Wishing I had a head poking stick, I have quick glance to see how Stephen's group poem is progressing in the Writer's Merge and to see what goodies Megana, Flit and Buneater have put together. I notice Kaylan R writing at the rate of 190 pages a minute, paper flying in every direction and hitting Brownie on the nose. There would be some bubblewrap-popping tonight!
3:30pm
Revisit the Wanderers Hall and look on quietly at the activities... snack into the secret Timtam stash without Kayt's knowledge.
4pm
Go for a run around all the rooms, just in case something pops up to distract me from the excercise.
6pm
Pop into the Moonfair room. Lauren is scribbling like mad over what looks like a huge map of ober.net. Can't wait for Moonfair.
6:15pm
It's back to the Guildmerge Hall to see how the other MoOs and Guardians have fared for the day.
7:30pm
I vanish off to a quiet part of the building to work on the specific fanfiction competition.

If Obernet was a Real Life Corportation...How would a standard day go for you?
8:00am wake up in Library with pieces of paper stuck to my face. Pull off one piece to stare blankly at some random book research and try to puzzle what it was exactely i had been trying to say.
8:15am still staring at paper. Something niggles at the back of my brain that i should be doing something.
8:30am have resolved to hide the piece of paper from view. I was obviously on too many sherbet lemons. Hear Clare saunter past the door on the way to the Guildmerge, and muttering under breath at how ridiculously stupid i am, follow.
8:35 run back into the library to attempt to answer one of the book qoutes.
8:40 run into the Guildmerge. Rub nose from the collision, and open the door. Recieve exasperated looks from the others as I clamber to get at the chocca and timtams. Buneater comments that it isn't a very healthy breakfast, and i leave the half eaten timtam on a plate, and pour myself a cup of blackcurrent tea instead. Try so very hard to understand when the conversation moves onto technical things, and find myself feeling very silly. A failed geek.
Decide to move onto solving communication problems instead. Even though at the moment i can only manage a "Neh".
9:00am trundle into the dinning hall
9:01am walk out of the dinning hall.
9:05 locate library again and notice that Lol has written that i am, in fact, wrong. Grumble about misleading research and sit watching Wanderer as he begins to ready himself for a day of talking about Phantom of the Opera. He tries to strike up a conversation with me, but after 15 minutes of getting no response, he goes back to work.
9:20am realise Wanderer was talking to me, and start talking back. Blindmouse walks in, see my suggestion, and immediately clicks that she knows the book Lol has suggested. She writes it down, and then starts scanning the bookshelves looking for another qoute. Kayt trundles in with her oversized novelty boot, and spots me. Trundling over, she strikes up a conversation about the biggest Cad in Austin, which naturally draws a crowd of Brydie, Lol and Blindmouse, with Wanderer adding his thoughts here and there. Without really meaning to, the conversation turns onto how hot Mr. Darcy is.
It turns ugly when someone new comes in and proclaims that Faramir is a git.
10:10am, forceably push Kayt from Library, leaving Buneater and Raineth to clean up the mess of fallen books. Lol is quietly calming down the new person, and giving them lots of timtams :P Of course i know things will be made up later, but i also know you don't go dissing Faramir around Kayt. Even if he is a daddy issue boy. Resolve to stick up a sign when next i get in there.
11:00am leave Kayt happily stamping her foot in the Theories board, and natter back into the dinning hall.
11:05am realise it must have been a late night, and exit susrid to enter the actual dinning hall. Wipe off the llama fur that somehow got attached to my shirt.
11:10am watch happily as food is thrown about the place. Finally manage to get something to eat, but sneak a few timtams onto the plate at the same time. Talk to Arien as she passes carrying the hot potato of winningness about making me a sign for the library. She agrees just as HOD steals the potato off her. HOD doesn't get far as a net is sprung, and Miska steal the potato, running off.
Tell Avra her picture is a stethoscope, and then muddle up one of my other pictures to put up there in replacement. Laugh at one of Dark One's horribly bad puns, and throw a few words into the word association pile.
2:00pm wonder into the writing hall with some of the pieces of paper i was sleeping on last night in my hand. Have a few discussions about writing habits with Megana, Buneater, and toss a few writing tips about with the others. Marvel at some peoples work, and tries in vain to avoid getting hit by Kaylan's flying bits of paper.
3:00pm Arien catches up with me about the halls with a sign, and i thank her with a packet of sherbet lemons. Head off to the library.
3:05pm screw in the new sign which reads "Things Thou Shalt Not Say Around Kayt Unless Thou Are Ready To Get Foot Stamped On [img]http://s3.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif" alt=":P" border="0"/>" Help clean up some of the books, and sigh when my guessing qoute is finally discovered.... after five seconds.
3:50 rescue Kayt from shovelling snow by destracting Rushton with a long winded ramble that goes no where and only really is about my wanting a new cupboard to store my sherbet lemons and picnic baskets.
3:55pm pop into the qoute's board to impart from a few more randoms things i have... Nod at Maeve, who is compiling random qoutes for the game.
4:30pm Pop in for afternoon tea in the Member's board, and happily giggle over stupid apocolyptic movies, and Gandalf's beard with Dark One, Kayt, Marija and Clare
5:30pm disappear into the Member's only, only to notice a sherbet lemon on the ground. Bending to pick it up, it is dragged away. Confused, and wanting a sherbet lemon now, i follow it, only to cover my face at the last second as Buneater tries to take a photo. I promptly take her camera from her, and put it up a tree, shaking my head.
In the member's only try to make every feel better by pointing out how sucky my life is, and realise that that is a tactic that's not really working. Enjoy a few timtams, and a cup of chocca, beg a few people to come to Canberra, and then sigh when a cardboard cut out of a 40+ year old public servant is given to me by Squarmi.
6:30pm get dinner on the run as i try to poke Lady Pemberly into writing more of her diary, but she sets Meep on me, so i decide it is not a good idea.
7:00pm Head into the Theories board, where i am immediately set apon by Min with another amazing idea, Omega with a compelling point that wolves are wolves, and immediately get stuck into an arguement with everyone about timmings, and try desperately to point out that i am right. Just avoid getting stepped on by Kayt's giant foot.
7:30pm head into the Guildmerge, discover i have a few responsibilities people have fobbed off on me and hunt for my responsible hat.
8:00pm find my responsible hat, and go off to be responsible.
8:30pm head into the dinning hall to quickly take a few points off whatever Timm is trying to save. Tell people that my picture is not a dog. Throw a few more words onto the word association pile and duck as an asparagus is chucked at me.
Finally convince someone to make me dinner, and sit eating. Occaisionally yelling at Malitia Penguin and Ariel Pigs that are trying to get some scraps of food off me.
9:30pm head back into the library, grab my fav note book and curl up to muse some more before i go to bed.
Ripper idea Min! I was loving yours and Clare... can't wait to see more!!
Those are great guys!!! I thought it might be a fun little thing to do, since we all spend more time in different areas than others...
Keep posting peoples!!!

Wonderful! :D Ok, This is a version of my first day at Ober.net
If Obernet was a Real Life Corporation...How would a standard day go for you?
The Diary of my first day.
9am
I entered the members lounge and looked around. There were a few people sitting on lounges chatting to each other. The rest were huddled around the fireplace, not saying much at all. I made my way over to one of the groups. I sat down and introduced myself. They welcomed me and offered me some choco. They also gave me a guide/rules book. I flipped through a few pages while sipping the hot choco. A few of them told me about their guilds and which ones I should join. Apparently there were 4 guilds and I had to choose one.
9:15 am
So I decided to explore... The lobby split into three directions: two hallways, one ether side of a wide set stairs that led to somewhere. I decided to climb the stairs. They led me to a set of doors. Two girls walked past me and pushed open the large double doors. I ran after them, but the doors slammed right in my face. The sign swished back and forth: MEMBERS ONLY. I sighed and went back downstairs.
9:25am (yes, the stairs took me that long...)
I entered the hallway to the right. It led me past the Library and past a few other rooms. I entered a room that had a sign over it that said: WRITERS MERGE. The room was littered with papers and unfinished stories. I saw a few a groups of people buried in piles of paperwork and writing furiously. To one side of the room people were sharing poems and telling stories. I turned for the door and left.
9:29am
I walked past a few more rooms and stumbled across a sign: THE DREAMERS LOUNGE. I opened the door and entered a dark room with a strange smell that made my head dizzy. Incense maybe? My eyes slowly adjusted to find the outlines of people seated around on large cushions. The room was unusually quiet. I shivered. I suddenly felt myself becoming sleepy....
11:44am
I woke up finding myself lying down in the middle of the corridor. I don't know how I had got there, but luckily I hadn't caused a scene. I got up and continued walking down the hallway. I reached the end of the corridor. There was a door that stood out from the wall. It was as if it was carved out of the wall. I entered into a round room with four wooden doors that opened the walls. I walked over to a little booth that stood in the middle of the room. A message board hung with notes attached to it. I came across an application form. It was about joining a guild. I took the application form and stuffed it into my pocket. I had to think it over. My eyes drifted over to the four doors. They all looked somewhat identical, yet they all had a different sign over them. I was drawn to the door that had MYSTICS CAVERN written over it. I went to open the door. Locked. I tried the rest of the doors and they were all locked too. d**n.
12pm
I made my way back to the members lounge. People were moving out and making their way to towards the left hallway. I decided to follow them. I was led into the Dining Room. The noise was deafening. It was so crowded. People were shouting at one another, playing games and even having food fights. I pushed my way towards a seat and sat down. Luckily I brought my own lunch. I watched some of the activities that were going on. There was an Auction, a mystery picture game and a game about 'grabbing the winningness'. I finished my lunch and participated in some of the activities. I overheard some group talking about the next theme. Whatever that meant.
2:03pm
The Dining Room was always in a mess they'd say. I left the Dining Room with disgust and walked along the corridor. I continued to walk along, until I found a strange door. It had four different handles. I turned the pink handle and opened the door and found myself in a room full of llamas. "Welcome to Sus Rid!!" a llama shouted. I promptly exited the place. I tried another door handle, this one was green. I turned the handle and opened the door warily. It led me into a stadium. It was in utter chaos. It had had everyone running around poking each other with sticks and dressed in rather silly clothing. I stayed for awhile just to watch.
A befriending of a blue tiger and two door handles later, I decided it was time to get back to reality.
*********************
I just have to say thanks for reading and this is not 100% true (except for the llamas).

this was so fun to do, great idea min
If Obernet was a Real Life Corporation...How would a standard day go for you?
8:00
Enter the building and think right first things first, have to check on responses.
8:10
Peruse around the building looking through the work I did yesterday and seeing what people think but damn it the time difference means everyone is in a strange comatose state.
Sighs with annoyance.
9:00
Officially logs in and hurries to the library. Still things are slow, people are sprawled out on desks with random comments on post-its stuck to their heads
Reads a few and nods judiciously at Wanderers stoic persistence in mentioning musicals at every opportunity, finds a whole group of people surrounded by Harry Potter books and action figures, it seems they were arguing about favorite characters, I carefully pry the figure of Hagrid from Morag's grip, straighten out his beard and put him in the center of the desk with the words 'I rule' next to him.
Flick through the games and try not to get sucked in, then inevitably does by the word 'waggonette'. Which I'm sure I've read somewhere and ends up flicking through infinite books to find it and aha! Got it, posts a reply with appropriate amount of smugness then nervously adds a contribution with the hope that it isn't impossible to guess.
10:30
With stomach growling enters the dinning hall and is pleased to find that some people have perked up a bit, shakes head in disappointment when I notice that Killing Heidi is still in the running and knocks a few points off their score, giving them to the Beatles as an act of charity.
10:45
Makes a few hazardous guesses about whether or not that blurry picture put up in the hall is a sort of car or just a giant traffic cone.
11:00
Swaggers in to the frantic scrabbling in a nearby area with the intent purpose of attaining the winningness in some impossibly clever way, does so with many grand gestures but is annoyed to find it keeps getting stolen and eaten and people keep emerging from the fray on the backs of giant animals for the sole purpose of making an escape, or disappearing in mystical ways until someone sighs and goes after them, dragging them back with the winningness clutched tightly in hand.
Leaves them to it, but with the intent to return, once I have eaten.
11:30
Settles down with some chocca to prepare costumes for the upcoming fancy dress, overhear fellow Ashlings whisper comments on the subject of 'antelopes' so stock up on pictures just in case.
12:00
ahh peak time- bask in the busyness of the building with post flying and people getting rowdy notice someone with an unusually large foot who looks angry, and does best not to get in her way.
Happily enters the favorite quotes board and is drawn into lively discussions with Blindmouse and Lol.
Flicks through the Aeneid over and over with the hope of finding a good quote to add, but alas, not yet- then looks despairingly at my favorite Oedipus quote, if only the last quote had 'blind' in it. Eventually ends up being inspired to go through old picture books and amuses self with finding Dr Seuss quotes.
2:00
Pops back into the library and finds many queries about the extract I wrote, worryingly gives some clues.
3:00
Sidles into the theories page and reads many theories with interest but, being too decisive, dismisses many, perhaps a little too gruffly.
4:00
Things start to quieten down so I enter the dinning hall for a bit more mayhem only to find Dark One standing triumphantly on top of a pile of unconscious people and animals, pronouncing himself the winner. Decides to dispute that fact and ends up playing a furious game of wits until he gives up and has to go. So happy with my semi-permanent victory at hand and the winningness safely in my pocket I exit.
hehe... traffic cone!
Keep 'em coming people!

If Obernet was a Real Life Corportation...How would a standard day go for you?
10am
streches and takes a really big yawn. jumps up to find myself the only one still a sleep in the mystics cavern! dam it! i should no better then to let katiska make the choco and to have a drink with lix. quickly have a cup of choco and a bit of some stolen AOC cheese and runs into the guildhall. dam it missed the mornings meeting again! checks her watch. feels embarrased. collects the notes left by buneater and leaves.
10:30am
wonder into the members hall and lift my head from my readings for the first time this morning. welcome the newbies. join frankie and NIG in some guild plugging while agruing with jes, brydie and rilla about hygine - no timtams and toilets ppl! bombard the newbies with questions and throw soem cheese at the dreamweavers before leaving my 2cents worth in different discusions about release dates, welcome backs, happy birthdays and which 80s cartoon rocked more.
11am
im standing out the front of the dinning hall doors, which are swinging slightly with all the comotion that lies behind them. i take a deep breath, steady my self and run in grabbing winningness, losing it, throwing a bit of badly spelt tomotaoes, shouting a word of association, reading a few jokes and shouting another word of association.
take a breath.
see clare enter the room and remember i have to madly vote for greenday and against queen. throw another vegie, drown in a sea of milk only to discover the best craziest menu possible - well for the time being. get pulled out by arien and covered in cheese. yell out another word of association, get killed by the mafia, get confused by the 'what is it picture', vote on a few polls, get scared of the llamas & penguins, recall a theme is on and leave with the a poking of timm, shouting another word association and reminding everyone that the pigs are EEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL! closing the door tightly behind me i giggle cheekily and rush off.
1pm
after a quick stop adjusting my profile to the current theme, i slip into the quiet mystics cavern while muttering off a few pants, grab some cheese and some choco before heading off to the members only section.
1:15pm
run into brydie who points out all the MBT sighting nad laughs as i have a few attempts at entering the password and juggeling all my 'belongings' to enter the members password area. immediately i dish out all my food and drink and give lots and lots of grugs. notice omega, kayt and min giving in and telling their life stories, as well as simultaniously starting up polictical and 'brain working' topics. wonder thru the photos, argue with flit about how we will catch her!!! eventually i put on my organisers hat and after sorting out the new changes i wave good bye, hand out a few more grugs and wonder off to PM ppl. i suddenly realise i havent checked my PM's today - so i freak out and start running.
2pm
let out a sigh of relief as i realised i didnt have any Pm's waiting for me. thankfully another quiet day for the mods. stop. think. get worried. place hand in pocket. sigh. type reminder into phone to replace buneaters meeting notes but only AFTER i finish reading them. run down to the notice board at the end of the hall and scamper back to my PM's and members area to let off a few happy birthday tunes (belated and early).
230pm
reminder on my phone goes off. but im chuffed as i have jsut placed the notes back having finished reading them. make a mess in the guildhall scribbling 'well this is wat i think' everywhere i possibley can. sit for a second satisfied and notice the time! :0 got to get to the dinning hall the kids our out of school!
4pm
crash head first into the dinning hall and join in the camotion while frankie, arien, timm, NIG, gambit and tegan wonder in and out between SR.
7pm
go to the mystics cavern after a quick stop in the guildhall. quickly grab a cup of choco. wonder round the mystics site and talk to a few of the girls. organise a few secret mystics buisness, organise an reminder to check new guild allocations nad guild email, make sure the cheese si still well hidden and grab somethin to eat.
730pm
wonder passed the feedbacks thread, quotes board and side step SR. everythin seems to be going ok so i pop into the members password section to see if anythin else has occured. notice roz has dropped in so yell a welcoem back and run off to the library to read her musings on the legendsong series.
830pm
wonder back into the dinning hall where i throw food, fight for the choco and shout random words of association til the wee hours of the morning.
1130pm
ok well not quiet morning yet but close enough. The members still roaming the halls have changed to the ever entertaining over seas group. and i settle comfortabley in for the evening by pulling up a bean bag and drag it along while i follow darkone about obernet.
1am
i finally decide to retire for the nite. but wonder thru the whole of obernet enjoying the quiet that engulfs our home at this time of nite. remind my self to set my alarm, check the theories baord, write an lj entry and get onto elfseeker about those crystals. as i walk up to the mystics door i notice a small golden glow coming from the cracks and the soothing rich smell of freshly brewed choco. opening the door i see lix, katiska, marija and min comfortabley seated amoungst the beanbags chatting, giggling and plotting over another one of katiskas choco batches. i completely forget everything that i have done/plan to do and settle down with them, willingly accepting the mug of choco from min, to catch up on the gossip. again it will be a long night

6:00 am
- Wake up in the Mystics guild hall, and stomp past Elixa and Miska, who went out drinking without me >:( *cough* Slide down the banister, fly of the end and smash into the locked Mystics Cavern door.
Remind myself that panels of wood hurt.
6:10 am
- Grab a mug of chocca and step out into Ober.net :)
6:10:05 am
- Steps into jello
6:45 am
- Finally shows up in Sus-Rid, after being hot by several taxis and an Arabian quiltmaker. Combs through the posts and tells KaylanR to not double post *cough* :P
7:30 am
- After adding some mess to Sus-Rid, i journey onwards to The Dining Hall, where i fruitlessy try to figure out What The Hell it is. Rilla helpfully adds fruit :) Dark One amuses me with jokes and the Mods run around trying to keep everything running smoothly, with minimal life-threatening acid fights.
8:35 am
- I sit back and wait for more Ober.netters to wake up :)
2 hours later....
10:30 am
- Finally.
10:35 am
-Wander over to Newbie board, in search of helpless newbies who need to have MYSTICS! yelled at them. They never knew what hit them 8-) I then go through all the new info and threads, trying to figure out if they're plotting against me, sneaky bast- oops :-[
11:00 am
- I leave the board and as i pass the Theories section, I am dragged kicking and screaming by Kayt and Miky, who tie me to a chair in an effort to convince me that Dames is better than Rushton, which he is most certainly not.
12:00pm
- I eventually cut my bonds using a rubber glove, and sneak into the jungle-like Dreamtrails, where all manner of beasts come flying at me. This person who calls himself 'Big Brother' keeps following me.....
1:00 pm
- I roll up the corridor again and up into Sus-Rid Plus, where I try to help poor Flit name the most basic of objects. Poor deranged Flit.
1:15 pm
- I run out of S-R Plus, chased by an enraged Flit.
2:00 pm
- Back to Sus-Rid i go, where i post some more and push Gambit over yet another cliff. She still doesnt suspect me 8-)
3:00 pm
- To the Password protected board now, and i look in the meets thread, hoping that I'll be able to escape this loony bin sometimes soon.....
4:00 pm
- I try sneaking into the other Guild Boards as the members leave them, shoving my giant candy cane in the door. Now i only have half a candy cane :(
Plan B - I climb up the army net which grows on the side of Ashlings hall. I peek through the window, and find that Dani has been waiting there with a large rubber mallet and a squid. I have no idea what she was going to use the mallet for but she sure did put the squid to good use.
6:00 pm
- I crawl into the Dining Hall, looking for help after falling from the Ashlings window. Arien somersalts over, pats me on the head and puts tinsel in my ears
7:00 pm
- Limping, sore and deaf, i make it to Sus-Rid, Arien trailing along behind, poking me with a cattle prod. I hope to find help in Sus-Rid, where I have a slight authoritive position :)
7:05 pm
- Im being roasted over a spit by Tegan, Layla and Arien, who are dancing around the fire, playing xylophones. I promptly tell them that i am a vegetarian, and i wont stand for this behaviour >:( Thankfully, im not standing at all :)
7:15 pm
- The rhythmic turning causes me to fall asleep :)
8:00 pm
- I wake to see KaylanR approaching. She'll save me! :D
12:00 pm
- I hop home to the Mystics Hall, missing the leg that KaylanR hacked off with a pencil eraser. It is then that i realised I'm still in my pajamas. Im so embarressed i could die :-[

LOL, I tend to always make it to the Guildhall at some ludicrously early hour...due to work being so rude and making me start at 8am. I'm usually on obernet by at least 8:15 [img]http://s3.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif" alt=":P" border="0"/>
And Frankie LOL I love it!
ITS GREAT!! i love it frankie!

Day 2 - The reckoning
2:00am: go to sleep, bored of waiting for the lamadess to send me an apple
9:00: Wake up in the Dreamweaver's Tower, look around suspiciously before jumping to sus rid
0932: converting to military times, so much easier to use.
0958: still trying to coax the swirly stuff into leaving me for ten seconds so I can have a shower once this year. With no prevail
1019: given up trying to convince the swirly stuff and forgets about the shower, heading over to where Arien, Layla and Frankie are whispering in a corner.
1020: A,L&F abruptly stop talking as I approach and Layla shoves a suspicious looking folder labelled: 'Plans to Destroy Tegan and her Swirly Stuff' under a lama. The lama glances up annoyed as I try to decipher the strange labell on the folder.
1150: Given up on trying to decipher the meaning, and kicks back with a mug of chocca successfully smuggled into sus rid by Franikka.
1262: is now drunk and cannot tell time properly
1312: randomly decides to head over to the dining hall
1313: big mistake, am immediately bombarded by protesting fruits and run quickly over to the 'Members Only Section'
1326: readung about meets that I'll never be able to attend and leaves, fed up, back to sus rid. Disturb Franikka, Arien and Layla in their secret meeting with the strangely labelled folder and is shooed over to the spork pit.
1559: crawls out of the spork pit, missind both legs two hearts and a finger...I was lucky this time.
04:05 pm: am bored of military times now, and continue smiting Kaylan R using the swirly stuff, who is now annoyed because they can't associate with Layla's lightening until 6.
05:23: once again disturbs Arien Franikka and Layla, and is growing slightly suspicious that the folder might have something to do with watering down the tequilas for the party we're planning tonight.
06:00:01: the swirly stuff has now gone off with Layla's lightening. I am left with the barest whisp of swirlyness...and am feeling extremely vulnerable, especially since Arien Franikka and Layla are glancing at me suspiciously.
08:49: Am back at the dreamweaver tower, pacing around and trying to blink.
09:65: am drunk with stolen Chocca and has once again lost the touch of telling time. Heads off towards sus rid for the party.
10:03: Am officially lost in some random place, it took me 12 seconds to figure out I'm somewhere called 'the theories bored'.
11:06: Am at sus rid again, partying.
11:99: Still drunk, and rushes back to Dreamweaver's Tower, desperate not to break the 11:102 curfew.
