Hi guys! ♥

Ugh, I'm so sorry I've been like not on at all lately! Life has just been kinda sucking in general and I have so much work to do every night and for me, this year is the year that's going to count most for colleges. But I'm hoping that I'll be able to get back on more often this week since I miss you all so much! ♥ For the past few weeks I've been mostly working and making sure I don't fail math this time, and I'm taking a bunch of AP classes so I'm kinda dragged down from that.

Anyways, I just wanted to pop in to say how sorry I am for not being around like at all, but hopefully that'll be changing soon and I'll be loads less stressed. :) I MISS YOU all so much, and you're all made of awesome for putting up with this! EDIT: OH! And a huge thank you to Crystal and Kayt for doing a [that word] job with keeping all the mod-ish things in line! ♥

Thanks for everyone input and ideas on that poll I posted a few weeks ago! I think we can definitely use all of them to breathe some fresh air into this community.

So far we have:

1.) More journal entries;
2.) Mass character chats on AIM or MSN;
3.) More schoolwork!;
4.) Over-arching plots;
5.) Randomly paired characters to work together; and
6.) Post scenario posts ala most normal (hehe) RPGS.

Johnnie also had a good idea, too. We should probably let everyone know roughly when we're all available to RP. I'm going to post another post just for that shortly after this one.

There's three more things I wanted to address as well:

I was thinking -- perhaps we should friendslock XIH? Except for of course the Rules/Guidelines, Roster, and Application Process. Since we're accepting apps through email now, it makes sense to flock this community and moderate membership. And our lurkers won't be able to find out our plotties. ;) :P What do we think?

Secondly, character chats. I know I haven't been logged on LJtalk often lately. *shame!* But I also know I'm not the only one neglecting the chat program. I think if we all just log on when we're not busy more often and talk we'd probably get some ideas flowing. Right?

Thirdly, UHM LET'S DO SOMETHING FOR HALLOWEEN GUYS.

I really think this is a great idea, Jess! It's happening soon and we all can participate!

Maybe we could set up a party at the mansion? We can even use this scenario-post idea and make our own little thread-party of it.

Comment with questions, thoughts, more ideas, etc.!

Has posting to XMH been disabled? I'm logged in but I'm not finding the option to "Post to this community" which is weird. Am I blind or stupid today?

Hey my loveleies, 

I´m writing from Madrid, just dropping a quick line in the general vicinity of XMH´s one year anniversary! Wheeeeeeeeee! 

uh wildness has never been thought of or something. I hope everyone is doing well, and all that jazz. Reply and lemme know how y´ll are! I miss everyone something fierce!!!


Muchos amore, amigas!

We've all been busy lately and interested in other things. I'd like everyone to answer these questions if they have a spare moment. I really love this RPG and I really love all of you guys. I love speaking to you all on AIM and reading about how you all are on el-jay, but I also really love RPing with you all too and I miss it.

It's been very quiet around here lately and it'd be nice to know where we all stand, yeah?

Poll #1065018
Open to: Friends, detailed results viewable to: Friends, participants: 10

Are you still interested in RPing at XMH?

Do you think making one or two character journal entries a week should be a loose requirement to help make the comm more active?

What do you think would encourage more activity?

Hey everyone!

Just in case you though I'd died- I haven't lol! Going into my 3rd month with no net access at home, which sucks SO MUCH arse! I only get online about once a fortnight now. I'm hoping to have phone connection this week, and at the very least, dial-up shortly after that. So hopefully I can start pulling my weight a little more around here. 

Am posting a little scene, didn't clear it with anyone, so I really hope it's okay. I thought I'd better get it on here while I could. It's supposed to explain why John's been so quiet lately, and also to cover my arse if I'm not on here again for a while!

Anyway, hope to be seeing you more soon. If anyone has any plotting, just let me know and I'll see what I can do!

-XJenX aka Bombshell aka Pyro (lol!)

Hey everyone, this is just my PSA to let everyone know I'll be even less active here than I have been lately, if thats even possible.

Why, you ask? I'm off to Europe for two months and will not be able to keep on top of any kind of writing for obvious reasons. For XMH purposes, make like Ali has gone off to Canada for a while post-grad, in order to hone her hero skillz or something, and Logan is there semi-frequently to keep and eye on her, and chill with his Canadian homeboys.

I'll take a moment to apologize for being such an underactive mod of late, this summer has been incredibly full of planning, studying and working toward getting my RMT license. To take another moment, I wanna commend Crystal and Teagan for finally getting us together with the application, they is champs. Yo.

Also, if anyone is interested in getting postcards and other random crap I decide to put a label and postage on, leave me your address! You can comment with it, or send it to me via email: kaytbognar [at] gmail [dot] com

Feel free to send me random emails too, I'll be on my lonesome for a chunk of time and a little love from home is always welcome.

I'm gonna miss you guys loads! Don't be strangers (please?)

Lance has been hanging out with too many girls! It's bad for his brain. Just kidding. But anyway, I was thinking it's abnormal for a guy like Lance to hang out with ONLY girls, espescially since he's not julian keller a complete and total flirt *cough cough*

So. If you get any ideas, email me yeah? (paagal100percent@gmail.com or enigmaticallyana@yahoo.com.sg) Or just comment here. I may take a while to reply because we're having exams everyweek from now on, but I'll try my bestest!

I was emailing Sarah on Lance, and coming up with a little back story. Anyway, i'm going to quote it here so you guys can get a little inspiration or something. hee.

"He had an okay family, but his dad royally freaked out when they found out about uh him. So he ran away but always felt really guilty because he has a little sister (aww) whom he had to leave behind. Of course, he blames his dad. Who else, himself? D: So anyway he was just living of the streets or whatever, trying to get a job but failing miserably, until Mystique came along and dragged him into her little army. Obviously, they didn't get along, cos Lance didn't like being ruled after the incident with his dad, so he ran away again. (mutants do a lot of that, don't they?) Then he met Nori and the rest is history. :D

Right now Lance is just hanging around, trying his best to not bump into Kitty, hanging with Nori and Lorna (seperately, and I'm assuming Nori doesn't know about Lorna) and trying his best to blend into the hallway."

There, I hope that helps~

Yay, application process! Although I loved it when this place was small and close-knit, it is still cool to see the organization and stuff like that up and running :D After all those regulation-type posts though, I feel kind of bad posting such a... pointless post. But yeah, gifts for everyone (almost)!

I drew this in my anthropology class today (and during class I was like, "Ooh! Must post these!" - sure sign that I spend too much time on LJ). Yet more two-second-drawings. Very obvious how little time was spent on each one, but I hope you like them. If I didn't draw your character, I'm sorry, it means either I couldn't think of anything funny or class ended. But I think later I'll try to do some of the other characters that were left out this time! Ooh, and, why, yes, I actually did pay attention to lecture today, too...

I give you: Aside from protecting a world that hates and fears them, the X-kids have other problems, too.
