everyone wants their character to have friends, enemies, lovers, and all that fun stuff, and everyone wants a way to keep track of it all without getting confused, right? well, that is what these spiffy little relationship charts are for. come post a plot page and wait for people to reply or start replying to other peoples plot pages with crazy, insane histories - since i know we all love some unique histories that involve lots of drama. these are also known as shipping charts, plot pages, plot charts, relationship charts, etc. whatever you call them, they all work the same.
drama is definatly love for most people, quite obviously. for all you little drama whores out there, we love you and we want you to come here with your amazing ideas and give our members some insight on some plots you're willing to do with them. if you're currently brain dead, but need that little extra spice of drama with your characters, just post away and someone will surely lend a hand.
sometimes you really have a good idea yet need someone to play a certain character in order for it to go through. this is the place where you may feel free to request for siblings, friends, parents, cousins etc. just as long as you make sure to give a good description of who they are and what they will be doing in your plot. although, you don't absolutely have to have a plot for them. if you simply have a strong urge for a character to be made, request it here. some people want new a new character, but your more likely for someone to snag the character if you do have a plot.
insley hall is basically for the students that aren't eating their meals off campus or eating in their own dorms / residence. this is where most people come to eat around the school, including staff. it's the main dining hall on campus, and has fairly good food compared to most schools throughout los angeles county. i mean, they certainly should be serving you the very best foods when your parents are paying five digits or more a semester for you to attend said school. if you simply don't eat regular meals, this doesn't even apply to you.
there are quite a few students who tend to be a bit on the trouble-maker side and get sent to the adminstrator's office on many occassions. so, for those kids, they probably know clinton hall very well. although, if your a complete book worm and tend to spend a lot of time in the library, you may also know this hall like the back of you hand. checking out books for some major school assignment, punishments, and possibly visiting a teacher after class in their office are basically the only reasons for most people to come down here.
this is the second library on blair academy campus. the first is very small and doesn't have much to offer besides a quiet place to work in the clinton hall, but this one is where most students come to work. if you just want to check out a few books for school purposes this is the perfect place to come, especially if the smaller library doesnt have the book in question. want to just read in peace? this is the place to come. it is strictly to remain quiet or you will be punished very firmly by the librarian. she takes her job very seriously. the jacobson library is named after one of the founders of blair academy.

the pankhurst dormitories provide living space for the female students of the academy. they are named after the famous suffragette sylvia pankhurst, and pictures of the woman feature regularly in the halls and lobby, though some irritating freshmen have persistently tried to cover her up with pictures of the jonas brothers with some success.
surely the nicest place to live in los angeles, watergrove estates are complete with an indoor and outdoor pool, tennis courts, video arcade, gym, personal car service, and many more luxuries that most can't afford. with a membership fee to sink pocketbooks, it's clear where the most wealthy of los angeles live.
in this quiet, homely sub division, many families take their three acre lot and make it into something that's their own. swimming pools and trampolines are scattered from lot to lot, and houses that range from 200,000-450,000 populate this more than lavished lifestyle.

twenty minutes outside of LA is the malibu beach where many blair students reside after their classes are done. many graduating seniors and upcoming seniors rent out apartments in the summer around the beach front. named one of the most beautiful beaches in the world the malibu beach is where you can find all of the hottest celebs plus you can probably score a college chick from pepperdine.
supple black leather sofas line the open patio for bottle service, soft candelabra lamp lighting makes everyone look fab and a charming balcony overlooks all the outdoor action. the menu is italian now, instead of french, and there's a big emphasis on desserts like cupcakes. the changes to the space itself might be subtle, but so far the celeb factor is anything but. credit must be given to party superpowers the alliance, who attract glam gals like the hiltons and the olsens on friday nights. the parisian palace usually offers two djs and is the hottest dance club/bar around.

this is where the ever so infamous gossip twins will post their blogs on the endless drama at blair. the identity of the enigmatic duo has been much speculated, however, no one really knows who they are, only that they know exactly what they're doing. they tend to be concerned mostly with the most popular students, though sometimes they'll spread some bitchiness to the underlings too. at least one thing is for certain; you're no one until you're talked about.
one of the most well - established online messengers in the world, msn messenger is favored by most blair students, perhaps because it's the only of all messengers to be installed on all the school computers. whatever the reason, you can rest assured that there'll always be someone online.
