'''Emma:''' Hi guys. I'm Emma! (''laughs'') You know that, I'm sure. Well this is really weird, talking to a camera. Blogging, whatever. I just want to introduce myself for the first time. Say hi. I'm not going to shoot laser beams (''takes her fingers and points them at her eyes and then at the audience'') out of my eyes or anything like that, I promise. (''laughs''). Scout's Honor. (''puts up "scout's honor" hand motion''). (''Sighs'') And for the record, I have no idea what happened a couple days ago. As a matter of fact, I very confused about everything that's been happening in the past couple of weeks. And I really just want answers. I just keep watching these videos over and over and everything just happened really fast. And next thing I know these watchers or whatever are coming after us and I thought they were gonna kill me. I thought they were gonna kill Jonas or Daniel or Sarah-- 
 
Sorry, I just remember wishing it would stop. God I'm (unclear) I'm a freak. 
 
My parents called yesterday. And they're out of the hospital and they're fine. They've been watching all the videos on lonelygirl15 Bree and the Order, and let's just say they're not team Hymn of One anymore. They're safe now-- and they want me to join them. Jonas says I have a very important choice to make; I can take the serum, they can give me injections that would make me a normal girl, and the Order wouldn't want me anymore. And I could go back to my normal life. I could be with my parents. I miss them so much. Or I can stay with Jonas, and we can figure out what happened the other day. 
 
Hi everybody. So this is the infamous Grand Canyon. Can you see it? Sarah and I have been talking a lot lately and she's actually really been helping me out. She's really cool and she's really smart, even tough I know Jonas and Daniel said she doesn't always show it. But I like her a lot, she's cool. And she says that I should just figure out what I want and then go for it and I think she's right. Actually, she says that a lot. It's, like, her new motto, or something. 
 
I'm sorry, I didn't catch that last part, what did you say again? 
'''Sarah:''' I know it's complicated, but you just need to figure out what you want and then go for it. 
'''Emma:''' Ah, right. I forgot. 
'''Sarah:''' Are you coming? 
'''Emma:''' I'm coming. But, I dunno, I'll have to figure it out. 
'''Sarah:''' People, it's not that complicated; all we have to do is let Emma figure out what she wants and then, you know-- 
'''Emma:''' And then let her go for it. SIrrt 
'''Sarah:''' Right. And then let her go for it. I mean, look at her. Jonas I know you're all fight the Order, Mr. Avenge-Bree's-Death, but thats not fair to her; she shouldn't have to risk her life just because you say so. It's her choice, you know. And, um, just in case you guys are watching, or curious, really, um, she hasn't really bent any mountains or moved any rocks with her mind yet. Jonas is totally convinced she killed that guy by jut touching him. There are a million other ways that that could have happened; he could have hit a rock, he could have broken his neck, we're not exactly doctors here. I'm coming, I'm just not as energetic as you are. Hey, woah woah there, Gidget, don't get too close to the edge. welcome to the worlds biggest metaphor. See, the, uh, cliff, it's like your power thingie-- if it's real-- and the canyon is your life if you chose to accept it. 
'''Emma:''' So you're saying I should jump? 
'''Sarah:'''' Um, bad metaphor. So you tired? 
'''Emma:''' Seriously, can we go home? 
'''Sarah:''' Yeah, I mean, canyon's a canyon, right? 
'''Emma:''' Yep, you've seen one, you've seen them all. 
'''Sarah:''' Seemably so. Come on, Gidget.

'''TWJaniak: Truth in Friendship''' is the fourth video put up by Ms. Kelly of [[The Homeschoolers Aggregate]]. It is a guest lecture by [[TWJaniak]].

==Transcript==
Image of trees by a river in fall. Looks a bit windy. "Truth: the property of being in accord with fact or reality...." Switch to new view of fall trees and river. Car drives by on road. "These realities can be liberating..." switch to view of ground covered in fall leaves, black bird walks along ground. "or they can be frightening,... leaving us cold and defenseless,... alone in the world...." Switch to view of tops of fall trees which pans down to see old fashioned looking buildings and a parking lot. "Truth can be a thing of beauty..." fade into picture of a water fountain "and a source of great comfort,..." switch to image of water rippling "but when misinterprated," switch to view of partially frozen over water with about seven fall leaves atop it which pans out to a wider shot of what we learn to be a fountain "truth can seem to be a nightmare." Switch to footage of TWJaniak in a camel coloured coat, a blue button up shirt, and sunglasses. He is standing in a field, snow is falling and covers the ground. There are trees (also covered in snow) in the background. There is a fence off to the viewer's right and what appears to be a soccer goal off to the right. "Students, your peers, Bree and Daniel are both suffering in their friendship because of a misunderstanding of the truth on both of their parts. For Daniel; he believes Bree is in danger in her ceremony because of the scant information he has about Aleister Crowley and his more nefarious undertakings throughout his life. Because of this, he believes Bree is in danger. Bree, on the other hand, believes Daniel is selfish and wants Bree to be... the person he wants Bree to be. Both Bree and Daniel are operating under oppinions that they think are fact, that they think are reality, but they are both wrong. So what are people to do in their friendships and relationships when they may not have all the facts, when truth is not entirely understood? The bridge between friendship and truth is trust. Daniel needs to trust that Bree knows what she's talking about. Bree, for her part, needs to trust that... Daniel is only operating under what he knows to be fact. She has an obligation ot correct those facts." Wind picks up, TW Janiak looks around "In your relationships with friends, do not presume to know the truth. Trust your friends, trust that they know what they need, but also trust when your friends come to you with concerns. Explain to them what you understant to be the truth and listen to them and let them do the same for you. A world without trust is a frightening and scary place, learn to trust eachother, otherwise your friendships and truth will be as cold and as barren" TW Janiak looks around himself again "as this Friday the thirteenth."

Those are pretty cute! We should start a fan artwork gallery! [[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 17:57, 29 January 2007 (CST)

:Thank you! I just doodled them, if you have any other pictures or screen shots I'd be really eager to draw them. So, if you have anything, just send it to me. [[User:Squidlywinks|Squidlywinks]]

::I think I thought of a good one! Can you do Owen with the pink feather boa, from [[Zodiac of Denderah]]? If the boa's too much work, Owen with showercap or just plain Owen is fine. If you can't already tell, I <3 Owen. O=)
::[[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 15:10, 15 February 2007 (CST)

:::I'll see what I can do! If I have time I'll try to colour one.
:::Okay, this isn't going so well... I had my pink coloured pencil, but it broke, and after trying to sharpen it, like, a ZILLION times, I switched to bubble-gum. "What's the difference?" you might ask, well I'll tell you; they're completely different! Bubble gum has to be at least three shades lighter than pink and it's a bit softer, and less orangey. So yeah. The drawing's trash. I gotta start over.

----

'''Website:[http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]''' 
''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.'' 
[[Image:Hsa1.jpg|right|thumb|500x500px|<center>[http://hsao.net Homeschoolers Aggregate Online website]</center>]]Homeschoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Lonelygirl fans and HSA viewers soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, this class notebook/message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, to making personal connections to these ideas, to discussing issues relevant to [[Bree]]'s situation, to responding to specific pieces of art, and even creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the school message forum, they are said to “Bring It” to the class notebook. Interested students are free to post links to their own in-character blogs on the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to [[Aleister]]). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem interested in harming her for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, blogs for additional characters such as guest instructors or former students, and links to related material. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.

----
The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register for a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. During its primary stages, HSAOnline appeared to be recovering from some sort of major hack of its computer systems as well as from a suspicious fire, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly. 

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the [[lonelygirl15]]-inspired internet game [[cassieiswatching]], which was in its heyday when HSA arrived on the scene, use [http://lonelygirl15.com/forum Bukanator's forum] as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

* [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mskelly333 Ms. Kelly's YouTube Channel] & [http://one.revver.com/account/show/mskelly HSA videos on Revver] --Ms. Kelly, the bright, stoic and opinionated head of HSA, spends much of her time focused on the importance of structure, order and education. For reasons that have yet to be made clear, Ms. Kelly seems to be a target for sinister people who bring trouble her way. While very supportive of her students, she is very judgmental about situations that she feels lead to immortal student behavior.

* [http://tenrich.blogspot.com TWJaniak] -- The former site adminstrator on the [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/ forum], notable among the lonelyfans as the creator of a series of videos giving advice to Bree and Daniel on their growing relationship. Ms Kelly invited Mr. Janiak to be a guest speaker for the new course. TW produced a video on the topic of [http://one.revver.com/watch/79194/flv Truth in Friendship] for the orientation class. For many Orientation 2006 students, he was viewed as a guest instructor, who offered wisdom and guidance.

Notable Students to Date:

* taiya -- a lonelyfan puzzle solver, who became much-respected member of Ms. Kelly's course due to her prowess with the initial registration problem.

* Josh -- a student who was briefly shunned for spoofing Ms. Kelly in guestbook comments; Ms Kelly unblocked Josh before the end of Registration. Josh was subsequently blocked again for telling Ms. Kelly that he couldn't complete his assignments because he had "a life." This "life" has been made clearly evident by Josh's 3652 (and counting) forum posts.

*JoannaChildsface -- Jo is a lonelyfan who could be counted on for keeping students updated on Guestbook Gossip and other mysteries of HSAOnline.

* [http://callmevi.blogspot.com Violet] -- Not only did Violet convince her cousin to enroll with her, she also corresponded with former student Lyn, who was accused of setting fire to HSA headquarters.

* [http://mayatis-guide-to-life.blogspot.com/ Mayati] -- Marisa or Meritmenat Byrne was a mysterious student who appears to reside in a different time zone from most of the HSA students. Mayati describes herself as a 17 year old girl who attends a very small school and who has religious and work chores which take up much of her time. She has hinted that she practices a minority religion which incorporates Kemetic elements, and she may have known Bree when both girls were younger.

* Truth_n_sc -- This student offered his supportive suggestions and comments in Lyn's blog entries and quickly became her friend.

*[http://intermediatethinkerrr.blogspot.com/index.html KT]- As the student who has been enrolled the longest at HSA, KT is the student who convinced Ms. Kelly to allow students to socialize. In her interactions with HSA staff, KT once used the colloquial phrase “drop the ball.” The acting director students, the incompetent Dean Warren Reed, assumed KT was an events planner and refused her services. He often asked her if she would send back any deposits from HSA because he would not approve of a ball or dance at the school. KT is not an events planner; however, she is a bright, motivated student whose [http://www.freewebs.com/allaboutafallenangel/index.htm work] demonstrates why Ms. Kelly has grown fond of her.

*[http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=MysteriousC MysteriousC]- Perhaps the youngest student at HSA, MysteriousC has been enrolled for several terms. Notable, she often had difficulty with the class notebook passwords. In the history of HSA, she is the only student who was given the password through email by Ms. Kelly. Because she was so earnest in her [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7xIHKjBarU studies,] Ms. Kelly was willing to make this exception.

*[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=GuillotineCalamity Sister,]- Otherwise known as [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=GuillotineCalamity GuillotineCalamity,] Sister enrolled in HSA for a short time, but had to withdraw when faced with a more pressing personal matter. As a participant in the HSA Term graduation in 2006, Sister offered her former classmates a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnHqIOdO9MU congratulatory video].

Rumored Former Students:

* [http://risingstill.blogspot.com/ Lyn] -- This teenage girl is a former student who was expelled from HSA for violating Ms. Kelly's rule about contacting classmates. She and her mother, Ms. Kelly's former employee, moved away from their old town, and currently reside in an unnamed town with Lyn's grandmother. Lyn stresses that she was not involved in any of the problems that face Ms. Kelly's program. Lyn and her mother wish to move on from their experiences with HSA.

* [[Bree]]- HSA has never been acknowledged by Bree or any of the official [[lg15]] characters. Although she openly refuses to address the rumors of Bree’s alleged participation, Ms. Kelly has responded to the [[lonelygirl15]] story in light of her students’ interest in Bree’s life. Referring to her as “your peer Bree,” Ms. Kelly often uses Bree’s exploits as the basis for lessons on such topics as [http://one.revver.com/watch/142059/flv/affiliate/29920 appropriate behavior], proper [http://one.revver.com/watch/110917/flv/affiliate/29920 decision-making] and the [http://one.revver.com/watch/150310/flv/affiliate/29920 negative consequences] of an unstructured life. Ms. Kelly’s “Lessons from Bree” videos usually focus on insignificant and trivial elements in the episodes such as Bree’s wardrobe, [http://one.revver.com/watch/139414/flv/affiliate/29920 perceived immorality,] Jonas’s automobile and the minimal use of [http://one.revver.com/watch/132266/flv/affiliate/29920 profanity] in a few videos. Ms. Kelly’s tone is often harsh and sarcastic, and she rarely offers reasonable suggestions that could actually help Bree. Ms. Kelly has offered [http://one.revver.com/watch/146822/flv/affiliate/29920 praise] to [[Bree]], [[Daniel]] and [[Jonas]] on several occasions when they have made decisions that Ms. Kelly found to be appropriate.

This 18 minute and 48 second video completes the term with a presentation that students are not expecting. "It has been suggested that this was the longest graduation speech in history. Though long it is actually exceeded by others such as a noted 24 minute graduation speech once given by Warren Beatty, it is definitely the longest in HSAO history and may be one of the only Graduation speeches involving the removal of clothing." <ref>[[LordGreystoke422]]</ref>

----
For a short period, HSAO's director Ms. Kelly, is institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but vaguely addressed in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly.] There is some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffers from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students are invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turns into a surrealistic and confusing journey that leads nowhere. On the train, the characters, Lyn, her mother Rebecca, laughing, Indigo (gogo) James, and Ms. Kelly, realize that they are, in fact, fictional characters whose situations, struggles and lives have been plotted by the architect, their host on the journey. The host [http://hsao.net/day1.htm mistakenly believes] that the characters will happily join together to discuss this new development. However, the characters express their shock and anger that this author’s whim has forced them to experience such difficulty and hurt. The characters refuse to oblige the author/architect/host and stay in hold up in their rooms. One by one the characters [http://hsao.net/lastchapter.htm confront the author.] They each leave the train, vowing to become real and take hold of their own lives. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offer much to occupy the travelers, many of whom are Ms. Kelly's students, there is little else to do but watch the characters grow into people and leave the architect's story. Ms. Kelly jumps off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she would face for some fraudulent behavior. In a drunken stupor, [http://hsao.net/ending.html the architect] finds herself left forever on an empty train, alone to wander the halls of the fictional train wreck she created.
 
Back at HSA and with her life now in her own hands, Ms. Kelly vows to turn things around. She applies for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she begins planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

Students spend the term focused on examining technology and art, as well as learning from the examples set by lonelygirl15 in a series of [http://hsao.net/lessonsbree.html Lesson from Bree.] HSA becomes sponsored by a charitable foundation called [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO.] This foundation is rather mysterious as its sponsors choose to remain anonymous as they work under the TiKO name.

Some paperwork in Ms. Kelly’s [http://hsao.net/hsaoffice.html office]alludes to a conflict between TiKO’s intentions and Ms. Kelly’s curriculum. Professor Boone is revealved to be doing some secretive work for TiKO as stated in some [http://hsao.net/email.jpg emails]found in [http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com/ his classroom.] Ms. Kelly explains to students that she is concerned about continued funding for her non-profit school.

A [http://one.revver.com/watch/155179/flv/affiliate/29920 video] credited to The Executive Director of the [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO Foundation] explains some concern over Ms. Kelly’s last [http://one.revver.com/collections/show/113424 few video lessons], which seem to be targeting [[Bree]] and her situation. The video does not give specific information other than to say that Ms. Kelly needs to learn how to better serve her students. Along with the text, the video also shows firefighters battling a blazing building and an unknown man engaged in actions that appear to be suspicious. Professor Cedric Boone, left to run the school in Ms. Kelly’s absence, discusses his concerns with the students. Suspicious of the sponsors, [http://one.revver.com/watch/157804/flv/affiliate/29920 TiKO’s public relations video] and Rose’s plight in the hands of these individuals, he leaves [http://hsao.net/listen.html copies of sensitive material] that he had delivered at his time as a go-between for TiKO and the sponsors, and [http://one.revver.com/watch/159866/flv/affiliate/29920 posts a lesson] involving pieces of art that allude to sinister behavior on the part of those holding Ms. Kelly. Surprisingly, a new [http://one.revver.com/watch/162990/flv/affiliate/29920 video] is released, again credited to both HSA and TiKO. It includes a calm voice-mail message from Ms. Kelly, who states that the seminar has “opened [her] eyes.” Professor Boone and the class are left to wonder if Ms. Kelly willfully joined forces with her captors or if she was influenced through more sinister means. After [[Daniel]] appears on camera [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/?p=168 under the influence of his captors], convincing [[Bree]] to do the [[ceremony]], Ms. Kelly offers a new lesson, suggesting that [[the Order]] could provide a helpful career boost for [[Bree]] and her friends. Back at the school, with the term ending, a number of the students ask for extensions to complete missing work in time to receive certificates of completion. However, with her sudden time away, Ms. Kelly is not able to provide the necessary assistance to help these students complete their academic tasks. At the end of the term, only four students complete the necessary requirements to receive their certificates. 
These four students are as follows:

As Term 1 2007, [http://hsao.net/2007term.html ends] with neither fanfare nor a special graduation ceremony, Ms. Kelly seems too preoccupied by her recent experiences to focus on lessons. Ms. Kelly’s weekly [http://one.revver.com/watch/167922/flv/affiliate/29920 visit] to her therapist is presented as a voice-over, unlike her previous text-based videos. The [http://one.revver.com/watch/171028/flv/affiliate/29920 continuation] of this visit sheds no real light on the dreams that seem to plague her.

[[Image:Hsalogo.jpg|left|thumb|150px|<center>'''HSA Video Opening'''</center>]] HSA videos serve several purposes.

----

'''Website:[http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]''' 
''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.'' 
[[Image:Hsa1.jpg|right|thumb|500x500px|<center>[http://hsao.net Homeschoolers Aggregate Online website]</center>]]Homeschoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Lonelygirl fans and HSA viewers soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, this class notebook/message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, to making personal connections to these ideas, to discussing issues relevant to [[Bree]]'s situation, to responding to specific pieces of art, and even creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the school message forum, they are said to “Bring It” to the class notebook. Interested students are free to post links to their own in-character blogs on the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to [[Aleister]]). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem interested in harming her for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, blogs for additional characters such as guest instructors or former students, and links to related material. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.

----
The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register for a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. During its primary stages, HSAOnline appeared to be recovering from some sort of major hack of its computer systems as well as from a suspicious fire, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly. 

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the [[lonelygirl15]]-inspired internet game [[cassieiswatching]], which was in its heyday when HSA arrived on the scene, use [http://lonelygirl15.com/forum Bukanator's forum] as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.

For reasons that have yet to be made clear, Ms. Kelly seems to be a target for sinister people who bring trouble her way. While very supportive of her students, she is very judgmental about situations that she feels lead to immortal student behavior.

Notable Students to Date:

* taiya -- a lonelyfan puzzle solver, who became much-respected member of Ms. Kelly's course due to her prowess with the initial registration problem.

* Josh -- a student who was briefly shunned for spoofing Ms. Kelly in guestbook comments; Ms Kelly unblocked Josh before the end of Registration. Josh was subsequently blocked again for telling Ms. Kelly that he couldn't complete his assignments because he had "a life." This "life" has been made clearly evident by Josh's 3652 (and counting) forum posts.

*JoannaChildsface -- Jo is a lonelyfan who could be counted on for keeping students updated on Guestbook Gossip and other mysteries of HSAOnline.

* [http://callmevi.blogspot.com Violet] -- Not only did Violet convince her cousin to enroll with her, she also corresponded with former student Lyn, who was accused of setting fire to HSA headquarters.

* [http://mayatis-guide-to-life.blogspot.com/ Mayati] -- Marisa or Meritmenat Byrne was a mysterious student who appears to reside in a different time zone from most of the HSA students. Mayati describes herself as a 17 year old girl who attends a very small school and who has religious and work chores which take up much of her time. She has hinted that she practices a minority religion which incorporates Kemetic elements, and she may have known Bree when both girls were younger.

* Truth_n_sc -- This student offered his supportive suggestions and comments in Lyn's blog entries and quickly became her friend.

*[http://intermediatethinkerrr.blogspot.com/index.html KT]- As the student who has been enrolled the longest at HSA, KT is the student who convinced Ms. Kelly to allow students to socialize. In her interactions with HSA staff, KT once used the colloquial phrase “drop the ball.” The acting director students, the incompetent Dean Warren Reed, assumed KT was an events planner and refused her services. He often asked her if she would send back any deposits from HSA because he would not approve of a ball or dance at the school. KT is not an events planner; however, she is a bright, motivated student whose [http://www.freewebs.com/allaboutafallenangel/index.htm work] demonstrates why Ms. Kelly has grown fond of her.

Rumored Former Students:

* [http://risingstill.blogspot.com/ Lyn] -- This teenage girl is a former student who was expelled from HSA for violating Ms. Kelly's rule about contacting classmates. She and her mother, Ms. Kelly's former employee, moved away from their old town, and currently reside in an unnamed town with Lyn's grandmother. Lyn stresses that she was not involved in any of the problems that face Ms. Kelly's program. Lyn and her mother wish to move on from their experiences with HSA.

* [[Bree]]- HSA has never been acknowledged by Bree or any of the official [[lg15]] characters. Although she openly refuses to address the rumors of Bree’s alleged participation, Ms. Kelly has responded to the [[lonelygirl15]] story in light of her students’ interest in Bree’s life. Referring to her as “your peer Bree,” Ms. Kelly often uses Bree’s exploits as the basis for lessons on such topics as [http://one.revver.com/watch/142059/flv/affiliate/29920 appropriate behavior], proper [http://one.revver.com/watch/110917/flv/affiliate/29920 decision-making] and the [http://one.revver.com/watch/150310/flv/affiliate/29920 negative consequences] of an unstructured life. Ms. Kelly’s “Lessons from Bree” videos usually focus on insignificant and trivial elements in the episodes such as Bree’s wardrobe, [http://one.revver.com/watch/139414/flv/affiliate/29920 perceived immorality,] Jonas’s automobile and the minimal use of [http://one.revver.com/watch/132266/flv/affiliate/29920 profanity] in a few videos. Ms. Kelly’s tone is often harsh and sarcastic, and she rarely offers reasonable suggestions that could actually help Bree. Ms. Kelly has offered [http://one.revver.com/watch/146822/flv/affiliate/29920 praise] to [[Bree]], [[Daniel]] and [[Jonas]] on several occasions when they have made decisions that Ms. Kelly found to be appropriate.

----
For a short period, HSAO's director Ms. Kelly, is institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but vaguely addressed in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly.] There is some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffers from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students are invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turns into a surrealistic and confusing journey that leads nowhere. On the train, the characters, Lyn, her mother Rebecca, laughing, Indigo (gogo) James, and Ms. Kelly, realize that they are, in fact, fictional characters whose situations, struggles and lives have been plotted by the architect, their host on the journey. The host [http://hsao.net/day1.htm mistakenly believes] that the characters will happily join together to discuss this new development. However, the characters express their shock and anger that this author’s whim has forced them to experience such difficulty and hurt. The characters refuse to oblige the author/architect/host and stay in hold up in their rooms. One by one the characters [http://hsao.net/lastchapter.htm confront the author.] They each leave the train, vowing to become real and take hold of their own lives. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offer much to occupy the travelers, many of whom are Ms. Kelly's students, there is little else to do but watch the characters grow into people and leave the architect's story. Ms. Kelly jumps off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she would face for some fraudulent behavior. In a drunken stupor, [http://hsao.net/ending.html the architect] finds herself left forever on an empty train, alone to wander the halls of the fictional train wreck she created.
 
Back at HSA and with her life now in her own hands, Ms. Kelly vows to turn things around. She applies for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she begins planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].

A [http://one.revver.com/watch/155179/flv/affiliate/29920 video] credited to The Executive Director of the [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO Foundation] explains some concern over Ms. Kelly’s last [http://one.revver.com/collections/show/113424 few video lessons], which seem to be targeting [[Bree]] and her situation.

The [http://one.revver.com/watch/171028/flv/affiliate/29920 continuation] of this visit sheds no real light on the dreams that seem to plague her. It still remains to be seen whether or not Ms. Kelly accepts the seemingly sinister intentions of the [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO Foundation.] Ms. Kelly steps away from her self-reflection to share a lesson called [http://one.revver.com/watch/174258/flv/affiliate/29920 Perception Vs. Reality] that alludes to the family issues afflicting [[Daniel]]. With another voice-over and the continued water motif, Ms. Kelly shares her suggestions for ways to approach the future.

[[Image:Hsalogo.jpg|left|thumb|150px|<center>'''HSA Video Opening'''</center>]] HSA videos serve several purposes. They reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to a specific term topic or offer clues to the class notebook password. Sometimes, Ms. Kelly needs to share information with students, clarify students’ issues or respond to the life of young Bree. These videos have featured other participants from the lg15 community, usually to celebrate a term graduation. The only exception was [[TWJaniak]]'s lecture about [http://one.revver.com/watch/79194/flv Truth in Friendship.]
 
Currently, [[TWJaniak]] and [[LordGreystoke422]] have served as guest directors, each kindly having shared an entire video made specifically for Ms. Kelly's students. Other thoughtful contributers have included [[ApotheosisAZ]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkCp39x1IYI Simian Liberation Front,] [[Nikki Bower]], Dr.[[Immant]], [[Jonas]], [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=GuillotineCalamity Sister] and Daniel's friend [http://one.revver.com/watch/130116/flv/affiliate/29920 Paul].

'''Training Video- Peer Interaction''' is the second video put up by Ms. Kelly of [[HSAO]].

==Transcript==
We start by, again, watching a planet spin around the sun. There's a blue background and a white scrap with red lettering reading "HSA presents".
The screen turns red with white lettering reading "How to Interact with Peers Online". This text fades out, new text fades in reading "One" This fades out "Always identify yourself by first name and user code." fades in, then fades out to reveal "Example:
Jill000".
The background colour is now green, text is still white. "Two" fades out to reveal "Never use your last name." which fades out to "You risk expulsion."
Screen turns purple, text still white. "Three" fades out to reveal "Do not ask for your peers' last names." This fades out to "You risk expulsion."
Screen turns light grey, text is now black. "Four" fades out to reveal "Never share your email. Utilize our forums for all interaction."
Background colour turns teal, text is white again. "Five" fades out to "Never disclose your location." This fades to "You risk your safety."
Background colour turns rose, text remains white. "Six" fades and "Never share personal family information with peers" comes up only to fade away to reveal "You risk family peace."
The screen turns red, text remains white. "Finally" fades into "We should all learn from the mistakes of the past." Thsi becomes "As unfortunate as recent incidents have been, we have an opportunity to learn from them." which fades into "Share your love for knowledge, not your private information." This fades to "Now, study up, students." which becomes "We're always waiting."
The planet orbiting the sun is shown again on a blue background with a red swatch with white lettering reading "HSA training video #2"
