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.

Keeping Track of Time. « Thread Started on May 13, 2008, 8:07pm »
In order to keep better track of time, I'm establishing the timeline board, in which there will be a thread dedicated to the Year/Month that we are playing in. In that post for the particular month we are rping, you can reply to major events happening that are directed towards more than one person. It will be organized by month and year. Year One is where we are starting. When we reach September of the next year, it will become Year 2.
I also suggest that players keep track of time by adding a timeline post to their Student Profiles thread.
As you can see in my example of my character Georgia's profile, it has three posts that I edit as need be. The first post has a picture of her. The second post has her relationships, and the third is her time line. While it isn't linked now, eventually I'll link what I've written to the time line post, but that's not a requirement. That's just for my own benefit. This keeps me pretty organized, and I think this will help players greatly keep track of things.
It only has so far "September, Year One."
September being the month, Year One being the first 'year' rp time.
