Meridian, Washington is near of Forks, Washington where it faces the Pacific Ocean. Facing the south of Forks, about 4 hours away to be exact. The beaches are cold during the winter but the brave solders that are known, as the local surfers will throw themselves towards it. It is not that far of a drive (maybe 10 hours, 14- depending) of Seattle, Washington but it’s closer to Tacoma.
It’s an upcoming town, known for it’s fresh fishing; it’s granola like way of living. Although there is a Starbucks, a Wal-mart is kind of hard to find. Most people find it the perfect place to raise kids.
But don’t think it’s exactly ‘small town’. Meridian is known for it’s posh record shops (locally known Pet Sounds which has been around for years) and the up and coming cleverly known ‘The Record Shop’. Jitterbug the local coffee shop that rivals Starbucks- for if you’re in Washington, there has to be one. It holds a variety of shops, mostly locally owned. The community as a whole stands firm and very apart of Washington. But as any up and coming town it’s had a boom of youngsters, either moving across the country to discover the place or born and rose near or in Meridian.
Some reasons for Washington not having state taxes taken out of checks, for better education system and public health-care. Other can be because it accepts everyone or any background or culture.
It’s one of those places that if you wanted to reinvent yourself or discover who you are, it’s the place to come.

Student Profiles « Thread Started on May 15, 2008, 7:52am »
{{student profiles
A good way for players to access all of your character's information all at once is to create a student profile in the board of the same name. This profile would include a basic bio, with likes and dislikes, a copy of the relationships pasted from your relationship threads and a time line so you can keep track of what day your character was doing what.
You can do your profile in many different ways, but here are a few examples of what people are doing. Please don't steal their HTML unless you've asked the person permission. Failure to do so will result in a warning. I'll be providing some templates in this thread soon for those who want a fancy profile, but are not so versed in the UBBC html.
Creating a link to this profile in your signature can be good for other players to be able to access all of this information quickly if need be without having to search through information.
In this profile it is separated into three posts in one thread. The first post has Georgia's picture and her name. You can put their likes/dislikes, a place to keep track of what classes they had and when, and random information that her friends would know. In the second post I've put her relationships. In the third thread I have her time line. I decided to have it in three posts like this so that I can modify each one when I need to.

This is a more 'girly' code with hearts, but that could be replaced with any other keyboard stroke you can find.
