The White Tower & Warders

Dearly beloved (and less beloved... and not beloved at all). We are gathered here today on this special day. A Sunday. The resting day of the world, except in Israel, where our customs are irritating and tiresome. The reason we meet today is to reenact Tynaal's raising from Accepted to Aes Sedai. Why, do you ask? After all, she got raised just like everyone else (And what makes her so bloody special?! Nothing, really :P). Only miss Tynaal made one grave mistake. Actually, she made quite a few since then, but I shall only refer to a specific one. She chose ME to be one of her sponsors. Oh, how naive she once was (did you know that naive is a sweet way to call someone d…

Guess which country is on SIMPSONS? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTrK-9r924w&feature=player_embedded That's right... SINGAPORE. And there's no such thing as hang he kway chap. THere's hang he which is sting ray. Usually barbequed. And Kway Chap, which is rice sheets served with pigs organ. So I suppose what she said is right. But yes... SINGAPORE made it into American Pop Culture icon. I dunno why I'm excited really. But I thought it was kinda cool. And no. We're NOT part of CHINA.

I just went through my raising to ACcepted and noticed how most of the people that posted therein aren't active anymore or even members. That makes me sad As such, I have decided that I am going to chain you all to the Tower so you can't ever leave. *nods* No, but what I really meant to say is that I really appreciate all the older members still putting in teh effort to get to know new members despite the fact that so many people just flake out in the end. Yes.. now I'm done being soppy *chucks bunches of flowers at the old people like Nyna*

While Ed is out getting ready for Fnorrll to leave, a few dedicated Warder underlings decide to give him a hand with his office *Strolls into the vacant office* My, my, my.... Well boys, lets get started! Heart and the boys spend a few hours moving out all of the papers and stuff. They then look over ideas for a new paint color Well boys what do you think?

The day of thanks is here once more After hours of driving you reach the door Put on a smile, give a nod of your head Pray that the small-talk lasts till you're fed Take off your coat and join the crowd Everyone's talking and it is way too loud There is your aunt with a glass of red wine she's had too many but she's feeling fine Your mom's in the corner eyeing your wife She still can't believe that she's still in your life She smiles and nods and now the fun starts Your job for the day is to keep them apart Your brother complains that he has no job But its only because he's a lazy slob No one will say it, they just wish him well All this fake chatt…

At about 4:30pm in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, and area, grassfires started. All day long we're have 130KM/H(80M/H) winds(something we deal with every day) and the fires started outside of city limits. At about 5:30pm certain residents have been notified to be prepared for evacuation. It is now just after 7pm and some people have been evacuated to the south side of the city(we're really small). It's crazy smoky and my mom is currently listening to the Fire and EMS radar. So yeah...we're not on standby but we live on the side of the city with a big fire. So far Stirling, Warner, Raymond, Magrath are either on standby or have been evacuated. So...I think this is the most e…

Stop confusing me, dammit!

Mother to drag you off for discipline, now do you? I mean, she's a Red, so you think it will be fun and all. But no. She is VERY practiced in making it fun for just her and not all parties involved. Please, don't let me see another Initiate being dragged off like so:

So I come to the center of knowledge in the shadow of DM to pursue a query of importance. A friend of my mine whom believes sherbet is carcinogenic has been so bold as to lay a wager on his position. As the keepers of the library I was wondering if the brown Ajah would mind overly much if I asked them to provide me with a definitive answer on the matter. Preferably with a link to resources. =]

I suck at making links. So just click it :p wheel of time rock song. Not amazing but worth a watch.

The week long Thanksgiving Event has started at the Gray Ajah! Come and stop by and join us! http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/topic/65256-gray-ajah-thanksgiving-dinner/

"The characters are likeable and come across as well-defined individuals…The world-building, despite borrowing terminology from the Romans is good, blending the familiar with the unfamiliar. The descriptions and conception of the Shadowland creatures are vivid and worthy of a Simon R Green story. The waystalkers have a unique culture and way of life. The fight scenes are what makes this book stand out and I would describe as Gemmellian in their awesomeness. Fans of heroic fantasy would certainly be pleased with them.” – Amazon reviewer, Noor A Jahangir" That's one of the reviews of a novel which I recently read which has just become available on amazon and other sites…

In honor of my Raising! I hereby declare its time for an Elgee Office make over!!! walks into Elgee's Office with a group of warders All right boys. Lets get started Grins mishiefly

So I was tasked with obtaining Kaf for Mother, so I figured I'd share the epicness of it with everyone! So it starts out like this... Quest accepted! I finally escape the evil AH's clutches :P and find a random Red Aes Sedai. "Excuse me miss Aes Sedai, Mother sent me to um I guess get her some Kaf, you wouldn't happen to be able to tell me who I need to talk to would you?" Red Aes Sedai, "Why yes I was just on my way to deliver it myself, be a good lad and take it to her for me." "Yes Aes Sedai" Kaf hunting skill increases by 5 So I bring the Kaf back to the tavern for Mother, and on the way I swipe a bottle of tabasco sauce. Before…

About 2 hrs ago i won 3 film awards outta the 4 i was nominated for. ive only just come out of shock mode lol. oh and for one i got an android phone. this is officially the first try so please xcuse the bad punctuation :/ I so happy.

It was midnight. The air was still. There had been noises in the night of things moving. The Gaidins' senses were on high alert, and the Aes Sedai felt something like ripples moving along the pattern. No-one had slept. Something was very wrong. Looking out of her window ... Ithillian saw something forming in the Tower's Courtyard. Made of light and shadows, it was difficult to see exactly what it was becoming. There were un-natural sounds of wailing, moaning, screams and howling and then .... silence. The something suddenly retracted into a tiny point of darkness. It was like the world was holding its breath. Suddenly, the light returned and expande…

I bet someone let the monkeys into the maintenance rooms again. *sighs* It’ll be up in just a second folks. *the room begins to tremble, and the chandeliers begin swaying* Um, OK, everyone hang tight. It’s probably nothing. *facepalms and mutters to herself* Of course. This just HAS to happen on my first time running a White Tower ball! *suddenly, all of the cand…

*Please read this in a Snape stylee - preferably without moving your jaw or lips* Hmmmmmmmmm, so you want to join my Potion Class do you? You look a little muggle-like to me, but as you are here I will see exactly what you are capable of. You should know however, I do not expect many of you to succeed. Only those with true talent can understand the complexities of Potion Making. Very well, in this Class you will collect and assemble your Potion's Ingredients. You will then test your potion upon yourself and deal with the effects. If you wish to negate the effects at any time, you may request the antidote ... the antidote is not guaranteed however. Should you w…

Banned Books Week (BBW) is celebrated during the last week of September every year to draw attention to the problem of censorship. It means that it's taking place from September 24 through October 1 this year. The Brown Ajah will also celebrate BBW (as we have done many times before) by hosting various discussions and activities. And I have a question for everyone! Would anyone be interested in a "book club" type of event? It would mean that we'd pick a book that's been frequently challenged, read it, and discuss it: do we agree/disagree that the book should have been challenged, do we/don't we understand why, and so on. We have done this at least once before, in 200…

Welcome to the Gallery, the place to find the spookiest of the spookiest pictures. Here are a few of mine. This first one is called the Brown Lady and was the very first ghost photo I ever saw in a book. These two I just found creepy. :D Now these are Victorian. The first is an actual death mask and the next is what they call Memento Mori, or death portraits. Sometimes they will prop the dead person up and stand them withthe family. And sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead.

It has been decided that Mills should keep a happy journal. Due to a miscommunication, he started it in a pm instead of here, so I'll just switch all of that to here I WANNA SEE THIS!!!!!!!! I loved this book; been waiting for the movie forever!!!!!! He has fully accepted his BEAUTIFUL wings :D Mills is showing his sensitive and loving side(this was the kid's welcome thread btw :P ) He's complimenting people, and giving his opinion on what the world needs He's making people feel good about themselves Mills is keeping a smile on his face, no matter how much effort it takes Mills is showing his sword brother love and embracing his happy side …

Ek het net 'n boek in die biblioteek oor hoe om Afrikaans aan te leer. Aangesien daar so baie moedertaal sprekers in die wit toring is, het ek gedink ek wil beoefen. Hoe doen ek dames?

Right! Hello everyone! The Invisible Man here. If I had friends I would tell them to call me T.I.M. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AisrwPaRAbY but as I seem to have this terrible reputation for sticky fingers they don't seem to last long enough for them to use the moniker. The truth of the matter is they are all working against me. ALL of them. Crazy right? Know what's a weird thing to get used to? Talking to people when you're naked. Yeah, took me a while to. I suppose I should tell you all a bit about myself huh? Ummmm, I bought an child's chemistry set, mixed a bunch of stuff up, drank it, and now I am quite mad apparently. Oh, and Invisible. Well…

HELLLLLLLLOOOOOO TO YOU ALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!! YOUR WALLLLLS ECHOOOOOO BEAUTIFULLLYYY!!!!!!!!!! *floats around* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*Grabs box and stands on it, in the middle of the White Tower's Courtyard. Holds her Megaphone up to her mouth and begins * Hello everybody. Gather round and listen to me. There now follows a none political broadcast by the Basel is Awesome Party. It's difficult to know where to begin, so I shall keep it simple and just write a list. Basel is Awesome because: 1. He is a Damodredian 2. He did not automatically choose to become a Warder just becase he is a guy 3. He always backs me up and supports me, even if I am doing something slightly mental and/or crazy 4. He often fetches me tea and scones 5. He is great at participating…
