Well here we are...Katt and Seri with the second official issue of the OMHN. I must say, I was quite surprised when the OMHN was handed to me, and I never dreamed Seri and I could actually make it work. He's been very great to have as an Editor with me, and I want to add in a thank you to him! Also, I want to say thanks to the staff members that sent in their things!

Hmm. I'm sort of stuck on what I really should say. I'm just feeling privileged being able to run something like this on MH. I haven't been around very much lately because school has been such a time consumer, but I told myself over and over that I wouldn't give up with my OMHN duties. I've really been trying the best I can to contribute to this new issue.

Anyways, since this is the first issue with Seri and I as Editors, all I can really say for now is to please enjoy it! He's worked hard on this site, and I'm grateful for it! Thanks all!



Wow, am I in shock. I didn't know what I wanted the layout to look like, colors to look like, or even how I was going to put it together, so I just tried. Boom, I think it looks awesome. It's not the exact same as the original issue: hence the "revivalation." Sure the graphics and staff have changed, but that doesn't change the way we're going to promote the attitude throughout MH with this newsletter.

Most people never thought it would happen again. The first issue came out, and a new issue was never seen again. Attempts have been made, but there's not been a large commitment behind them. I'm glad we can make one here and now.

It's time to start over, clean the slate! It's been over a year since the issue date of the first OMHN. I feel so proud of this. I hope that all of you deeply enjoy the new look and find news value in all of this! Thanks for viewing!

    Ministry of Ravenclaw

    The Ravies have thought of yet another new idea to support their house structure. A Ministry of Ravenclaw (MoR) is their attempt to structure the house in an attempt to solidify the house cup for this term. Whether or not the idea spreads to other houses is something to consider. Dueling Professor "Rosie" Nightshade said, "Well, the Ministry is more of a promotion of Ravenclaw. The Department of Homework and Classes for instance, I do think it keeps track of some classes, and they try to make sure Ravenclaw does as many assignments as possible."

    The MoR:

    Department of Magical Games and Sports:
    Rissa

    Department of Interhouse Magical Cooperation:

    As the mighty year of 2003 looms upon us, we must look back and take a few moments to take in our achievements made in 2002. Although some may not seem significant to us, we must remember that all actions we make in the past and present affect ourselves and others around us in the future. In Slytherin house, we have had our share of lost points for oversized sigs and various other reasons, but we have also gained many points, just by completing homework, and other tasks, lifting our house ever higher in spirit (and in points!) My point in all of this is that Slythies have never given up. We help out where possible, and strive hard to reach our goals. I really couldn�t ask for more in a house, and it makes me PROUD TO BE IN SLYTHERIN!

    A memorable event during the term, was the Yule ball. Well I believed it to be so. I became acquainted with many of the new Slytherin house occupants, and I am still extremely good friends with them at present. Continually in the Slytherin Common Room there after, we have had house parties and believe me, it doesn�t take much to get us celebrating! Many of the newer students soon become accustomed to our crazy (slightly strange) but still fantastical behavior, and then they to began showing the typical Slythie spirit as well. This ensures that the Slythiness will NEVER EVER DIE!!!




    Of Typosian tea, Dolls, Skaters and the Dateless: Interesting characters of Yule Ball 02'

    It was a fun-filled evening wherein almost all students of MH danced the night away, parading their lovely dolls in the Yule Ball '02. Of course, who were the characters who sparked it up?

    Yes, the Yule Ball was indeed a festive night of fun, laughter, dance and dolls. It was the most active page in MH, as it had new posts every five seconds or so. And even during the dead hours, students never missed a chance to dance with their dance partners of different sorts.

    We had also witnessed different groups come together for the first time and reunions for remembering the old and fun times. There was the grand Typosian Tea Party, hosted by none other than adella hale, Typo Queen and Hogwarts prefect. Several Typosian monarchy were present as well, in this grand and "fabu" tea party, such as Valicity, Queen of Smores and Andrei Miller, prince of Pillowstonia who provided Queen Adella with much cuddly gifts like pillows, and stuffed animals. The Evil Queen, Brooke624 was also present, giving adella halle lovely company through the festive three nights.

    A sudden uprise of students declaring themselves Skaters (sk8rs), Punks, Goths or Rockers was also witnessed, hence the group G.P.R.S. was formed lead by Gryffindor Yatona. Members of the group posted around Magic Hogwarts with G.P.R.S. sigs sparking curious minds of MH newbies (people who are new to Magic Hogwarts).

    The Yule Ball is never a ball without dancing. Most of the students were armed and ready to groove on the dance floor accompanied by their dates. But what about the other group of students who were alone during this celebration? They grooved the dance floor as well! Yes, there were the brave dateless people who partied the night away, not caring if people looked at them and pointed at them silly with looks of utter "datelessness" They posed for single pictures in Seri's Yule Ball Pictures and socialized like everyone else. They were brave young souls who did not just cower in a dusty corner like any other dateless stereotypes do.

    But like any other celebration, it has to end. As the unknown maintenance team of Magic Hogwarts (house-elves) packed up, people left humming to the rave music that they had enjoyed for yay long, keeping their oh-so-praised dolls back in their closet that is webspace, they remember the short time of fun-filled nights (and probably days) of the Yule Ball, something hard to forget. :)




    Question asked: Who's your favorite character from the Harry Potter series?
    Results:


    Ruby Lapiz
    Astronomy Professor
    Remus Lupin
    "He deals with his problems so well, seems to always have an answer, is generally cool, and is a Marauder."


    Kitty Katt
    Editor in Chief of OMHN
    Fred & George
    "There is a lot of action and drama, and these two come along to add just the right amount of comedic relief. Comedy is always great in books, and JK doesn't over-do it...so that's why they rock!"


    Sarah Weasley
    Sixth Year Student

    Firebolt
    COMC Professor
    Sirius Black
    "Sirius Black... he's one cool Godfather and also lived off rats for a few months to be near Harry. That shows love if you're willing to eat rats. Also, he's an animagus which is totally cool in itself. And he was a Marauder when he was in school. Put all these together and you get one awesome Sirius Black."


    Empress
    Seventh Year Student
    Fred & George
    "I like Fred and George because they are such goofballs (which I love), but because underneath it, they have a deeper personality that people don't really see much."


    Thatgirlishere
    Third Year Student
    Severus Snape
    "I really like Snape, because he is sooooo evil! He's deliciously evil, you know? I mean evil in general is bad, but he's really interesting too, because he wants revenge on Harry's Dad, but he's also kind of bonded to keep Harry safe, because he's a teacher, plus Harry's dad, saved him as well! I think he's really interesting. Deliciously Evil!"


    Link
    MOMH Sig Control Officer-Ravenclaw

    "thirty-eight chapters ... might change ... longest volume ... Ron ... broom ... sacked ... house-elf ... new ... teacher ... dies ... sorry." Those 14 sneak-peek words are probably already burnt into the brains of die-hard fans of the Harry Potter series.

    The other 85 percent of the words belong to an unidentified American collector of Harry Potter memorabilia. He dished out $45, 314 for the card on Jan. 16. No word has gotten out yet on whether or not he will share any more words with Harry Potter fans. Some companies were willing to use donations, bid on the card and then share the words, however they unfortunately did not win. The new 768 pages of heaven will be available June 21, 2004.




    Night Hunter
    The tiger prowls on cautious paws.
    The forest holds its breath.
    The frightened prey quiver,
    waiting for a silent death.

    Striped shadows cruise the brush with ease,
    With immense and kingly grace.
    Twitching tail to ivory fangs.
    Glowing eyes in fierce face.

    In the starry night,
    He roars a mighty yawn.
    His dinner hopes to stay alive,
    Until the break of dawn.

    The dark jungle feels the beat,
    Of the hunter's fiery heart.
    A crash, a leap, a clutch, a fall.
    The victim plays his part.
    By Ally Angeleras




    Here are your sig reviews, old school, just like I do! "My Opinion" is worth 50%, the other five are all 10% each. And remember, it IS possible to get a negative score!


    Made by: Alicia

  • Review:

    color scheme-3.5%-black & white pic with WHAT?!?! Is that magenta or something? It's too hard to tell. I can barely make out your name because of that awful color. A white would have sufficiently worked as long as not on the cat.
    variety-1.2%-Hm.....gee, this picture sure is original...not.
    size-9.7%-It's a little small, I'd say. Open it up more for more space for your name.
    scratchyness-3.8%-Basic rule, don't use .jpg files unless you know as a fact they'll turn out alright. But...you don't want to use .gif files with Paint either. So, if you use Paint, I suppose .jpg is the way to go. However, most jpg files are scratchy, your sig included. Especially the name.
    creativity-0.3%-Not very creative at all. You'll see next...
    my opinion-(-12.1%)-This sig just sucks. I mean, just look at it. All you'd have to do is go to Google and search images for "cat hammock" and there's about four of this picture. Then, you stole right from it, slapped a name on it and called it a SIG?!?!?! How about a piece of crap, because that's what I'm calling it. And remember that Paint never makes good sigs.

    Overall: 6.4%





    I have a problem. There is this guy at my school. I have hated him with passion for almost forever. He is ALWAYS getting on my nerves. The problem? I think I am starting to like him.

    to love or to hate


    Love or to hate,
    Well, we can't really control the passions of other people, but if you want help on how to avoid that, here you go...
    1. You can let nature run it's course (but we're trying to avoid it here)
    2. Keep the feelings low-- don't tell the whole "I am starting to like such-and-such. because if you do, rumors may appear.
    3. Try to get him off your mind. Play games and sports to keep your mind off of him for a while.
    4. Ignore what he says (focus on something else in the room if he talks to you)
    5. If you really think you like him, he may have actually liked you the whole time. You never know until you or a friend ask.
    If this didn't help you, email again of times that he got you on your nerves, anywho,
    Hope everything comes out ok,

    -Susan-

    ok...i need advice. This does have to do with a guy I like. I barely know him, but I have liked him for a long time (3 years.) anyway, I can barely talk to him and I am too nervous to do anything. My friends have tried to help (a little) and I just get nervous around him. I want him to notice me, with out me doing anything stupid, and to actually see me for me. I don't know what to do...should I give up? I have tried, and I can't. I can't help it!!! Anyway, thanks and I hope you can help me.

    Amy


    Amy,
    Ok, I know many people who have gone through some thing like that, but I'm not about to get into that...anyways, this seriously reminds me of someone I know (hint: it's me) Ok, now for the advice. If you know you like him, you've got to gain up your courage. If you want him to notice you, do something about it. (and no I am not talking about doing something to humiliate yourself) Try and hang around a bit, hang with the guys. I know it sounds crazy, but hey, it does work! Be yourself, be kind to him and others around, I know this advice may sound kind of vague, but try it. I know exactly how you feel! If you still need some help to gain up your courage, email me back ASAP.

    Hope you the best,

    -Susan-


    Hi erm i wanted advice lol............
    hmm here goes.............

    I'm seeing a boy but i never get to speak to him and i want to stop seeing him because we have no communication or anything can you help me in some way please?????

    In a Hole


    In a Hole,
    Ok, I will try and help you. If you want to talk to him face to face or on the phone, do this: Don't say right away "I'm breaking up with you" slowly ease into the problem of communication between you two. stand your ground and be brave. Don't chicken out if you are going to go through this. If you don't feel up to seeing him again, you can always write a letter or an email why you should "break up." I know it's kind of hard, but I know you can do it. I actually went through the same thing, and yes I do agree it does get annoying. I sent an email explaining the reason of no communication and other things like that. It was a hard email to write. Don't worry, and I hope I have helped you a lot.

    Rach took the VIP pass, and got a special interview with Zeituni!

    When you came to MH and saw what it was like did you want a position like you've got now??
    Actually, no, I didn�t want to be in authority. I was very intimidated by all of the people in authority (especially ioga, della, and ruby!) and all I wanted to do was do classes and make some friends.

    How long have you been at MH??
    Ive been here for a year and a couple of months, i think. I believe i joined in August 2002. Whenever it was, it was a couple of months before MH was moved from Premiere Pages.

    What is you real name???
    My name is Meridith.

    If other people want positions on the site how would you recommend they behave etc.??
    Just be yourself! The most important thing is to NOT act like you want a job. Just be helpful and friendly, make friends, and have fun!

    What is it like working on a site like this??
    In one word, awesome :) everyone here is friendly and fun and willing to try new things, which always makes work more fun.

    How has your life changed after getting these positions on MH??
    I was going through a really, really tough time when I joined MH, and making friends really helped me. When DD asked me to be a prefect, that made me feel good. I had a better outlook and realized i could have a leadership role and excel in it. Since then, i�ve really been excited about making decisions and improving the way things are on the site, and that�s filtered through into my life. I�m more organized and more outgoing, and definitely much more self confident.

    Are they good or bad changes???
    The only �bad� change that I can think of related to my work on MH is the inevitable conflict that occurs within groups, but it�s a good skill to learn how to deal with the conflict. The good changes are making more new friends, finding out about life in other parts of the world, and making myself learn HTML to make the Sig FAQ

    Whats your Favourite place on MH??
    Ummmm, gosh, maybe the Huffle Common Room?

    Also, I want to say a big thank you to all of my friends who�ve supported me through everything! Especially Allie, Rick, Jenna, April, Brooke, and both of the Nicks.





    That's it! Thank you SO very much for taking time out of your "oh, so busy" schedule to view this! We hope that you've enjoyed reading it as much as we've enjoyed making it. Please, feel free to give any comments above, as they are much appreciated and will help out for the next issue. Thanks again!
