Title: Happy Birthday HPU!

Yes...
It was on this day in 2003 that dear Zair created this board! That means we have been here for 2 years!
So, I am giving everyone the official oppertunity to spam this thread with their memories of the past and wishes for the future!

Two whole years... That's right, I came a few months before the first anniversairy. I remember the skin you put up, it was ice creams, and... white... and then that was when Angelfire went down so we ended up with the ice cream for a while or something...
Ugh, I feel so young, and yet, when I look at all the active RPers around me, few of them were here when I came... Now I'm not sure if I'm young or old.
All I hope for the future, though, is that HPU keep growing.
Yay! I just realised I've recruited at least three people to this board!
... ICE CREAM!!!
*runs to freezer*
Ice cream for everyone!

Two years already.. I guess the saying is true.. time flies when you're having fun!
I remember when this was brand new...... with just a few members andthe admin. working so hard to make things interesting ... so many people of come to play... some stayed.. some moved on.. but all will be remembered dearly......
may good story lines have been played out here... some great Quidditch seasons too.....
Happy Birthday HPU ... may you live on for many years to come!
Cheers!

Happy Birthday, HPU!!!
^^
Wow.... 2 years.
*stares off into space for a couple of hours*
There are way too many memories for me. I'd be here all day trying to retell them.
*promptly contradicts herself*
Oh, hey! Do the early Slythies that sill remain remember the Round Table Episode? lol! Omigod, it was Fe, Me, Shin (Hades Sylverdarkness), Foofie (Virginia Wood), Felicia, Keith... //dude, who else was in there--Ashlee?//
Anyway, our characters couldn't stand one another for like the first 2 weeks that HPU existed, so someone (Keith, I think?) got the idea to host "dinner" in the Slyth common room at a round table, and stategically placed our charries around it so that none of the allies from either "side" were seated next to one another. Very clever of him, too, as we all got along brilliantly after that! ^^
Hades was a little reluctant, but so she always was! That's why Breena loves her so much. ^^
Ohoh! AND! That time (right before Breena was bumped up to a prof position) when there was... oh dear, who was it? Well someone who wasn't a Slytherin was in Knockturn Alley, and Breena, being the serpentine little firestarter that she was as a teenager, cornered them. Then Keith stepped out from behind her, and... who was it that came next to do the same thing? I dunno, but the way they entered that thread was just awesome. Yes, it made us look like the stereotypical Draco-Malfoy-Wannabe Slytherins, but it was fun. :angelnot:
Oh, and the Gofein... *swooooons* You cannot speak of HUG/HPU canon without a distinguished mentioning of the infamous Gofein House. Even though it was never part of this site, it was still very much a part of our characters lives. (I'm still trying to figure out what that name means. "Gofein." At one time, I thought it meant Go Fe'in. As in... go hunting for Fe's or something).
I don't have as many memories for Pandora as I do for Breena, but then, there's many for Breena that stem back to HUG.
And that is truly a sentimental journey.
Heh. A couple of fond memories from the past year alone (at least, I think they were...):
- A Plethora of Sins: The Slytherin party thrown by your infamous Headmistress in honor of the great Salazar Slytherin, wherein all characters who joined magically became the embodiment of one of the 7 deadly sins. I so want to try that again sometime.
- Devlin Sylverdarkness: Breena's child by Hades. Do not ask how that was done, you will not find out. :bleh: How much that little boy has changed his Mommy! ^^
Yep, okay. I'm shuttin' up now. *huggles all around* Happy Birthday to HPU! I still love you best of all. *tosses the confetti and breaks out the butterbeer*
:inlove:

OMG the Round Table.. that was classic.. I had forgotten that one..... thanks for the memory Bree.....
Gofein House...... and the auctions... hehehehe and the pool......... you know I found the link to that the other day and took a walk down memory lane....... awesome!
Prof. Feronia Ardantane - April 26, 2005 11:12 AM (GMT)
"Gofein" means 'Suffering'. It took me 2 weeks to get a translation, but it seems to be some strange alteration of old Gaelic that dosen't quite compute anymore. Then again I was lucky to find enough text in that language to translate that far, most is lost to the ages!
A Plethora of Sins! Oh! That has to be done again!!!!!!! Set up the RP, invite the other guests, and lets go!!

P.S BreeCheese, you know you can Go Fe'in anytime you want! :bleh:

Hello. I'm so old, I remember what came before HPU. I remember HUG. *nods* And I remember all the fuss with it, and how it went bye-bye. And I remember being sickeningly cute with one Sindor Aloyarc on HUG boards, and I remember Gofein House (heee...I accidentally-on-purpose got the password for a more adult part of those boards :angelnot: Y'know, that board is still there. Just...with an AWFUL background). And I remember when most of y'all were just ickle RPers or weren't around yet! And I remember Breena before she and Hades were friends. And...oh, lots of stuff.....Too much...*gets all nostalgic and stuff. even if this is late. haha.*
Prof. Breena Brightheart - May 1, 2005 09:08 PM (GMT)
Whee! I have permission to go Fe'in!
Okay. The only question is.... should I make it a site-wide thing? (The Sinful Party, that is... ^_~)
Prof. Sarah Kerrigan - May 1, 2005 09:35 PM (GMT)
*blinks* Gee, I do feel extremely old :laugh: Though I did black out a couple of times :angelnot: it was still fun.
Miss Kai Yimin - May 3, 2005 05:54 PM (GMT)
Wow!....*blinks*
*raises hand!* Is proud to be 1 of the first 100! *cough* 50! Members here on HPU ^^
Yes it has flown by!
I remember when I first started here! ^_^ wow those were the good old days, we all used to talk on cgi (mirc) and talk and talk..
When I first became prefect, Ashlee helping with all the how to close topics etc! And helping me understand cgi a little better! ^_~
I used to talk to Wynter *hugs squishes* wherever she is! She used to be my best friend! I talked to her for hours on end and I am sure she will remember lots of what we talked about! ^^ along with Fels, Bree! Fee, Arkday (well, Kievan ^^) ...etc, I could go on for hours!
I was first shown this site by Arkday, now Kievan and its mainly all thanks to him *giggles*! I didn’t know how much I loved to RP until he showed me one time, and now I love it!
I have met Fabulous friends and we all really didn’t keep in much contact but yeah! I want that to come back *nods*
But... What this post is all about!
Happy Birthday HPU!
Kievan Tao Ordlay - May 6, 2005 12:48 PM (GMT)

happy birthday hpu though, we love you!
(psh, im editing yet again!) i would like to join a sin-party. i'll take charity - thats gotta be a sin right?
Prof. Feronia Ardantane - May 7, 2005 02:32 PM (GMT)
The Sin party - Well, since there are only 7 sins, I really don't see how we are going to assign one to everyone...
Yes, I remember HUG, I was just an ickle mod there, pestering poor Zair.
