After a bizarrely warm November, it's starting to get pretty cold indeed around these parts. Christmas decorations are everywhere. Shopping queues are getting longer. This morning I heard "Merry Christmas (The War is Over)" on the radio- the first Christmas song I've heard in 2011. And a few days ago I posted a TON of cards and letters to readers who had written to me- so it is OFFICIALLY close to Christmas. I can now safely announce it.
You may rejoice.
And the competition winners may ALSO rejoice, because the books I have to sign have finally arrived. I'll sign them all this weekend, have them ready to be picked up on Monday or Tuesday, and then hopefully you'll be getting your prizes over the next few weeks. It'd be cool if you could get them BEFORE Christmas, so that's what we're working towards.
There's still a lot of work going on in my house. I'm getting one of the rooms refurbished- COMPLETELY redesigning it- as well as the kitchen redone, and that's been going on since the start of October. Basically, it means a lot of noise and hassle and interruptions, so I haven't been able to focus on Book Seven, which I really would have liked to have started by now. But hey, I'm not worried. My house is going to RULE when it's all finished, because finally I'll have a proper place to store my toys.
A lot of you may not know this, but I love toys. I collect movie memorabilia and props and stuff, and also comic-book statues. To give you an idea of the kind of things I'm talking about, here are a few action figures...
... and a rather large Iron Man (I've put a book beside him to give you an idea of scale)...
Oh, and here's a 12 inch figure of Sweeny Todd about to give a 12 inch Ichabod Crane a very close shave...
Boy oh boy do I love toys...
As you can imagine, my place is full of equipment boxes right now, so I'm going to leave you with a picture of one of my cats- Pooper- doing what cats love best: clambering into cardboard boxes for no apparent reason.

*is insanely bored*
...

My comment's taking up half the page...
*is about explode*
I just walked into the kitchen and looked up.
I saw a struggling beetle caught in a spiders web, and a spider, a FREAKING GIANT ONE, making it's way to the beetle.
I looked up two minutes later and the spider is on the beetle...
*shudders*
I'm all alone...
The spider and the beetle are gone...
So is everyone else...
*is eating candy left over from Easter*
...
So alone...
All I want is comment 3333...
Can't someone help me achieve this goal?.?.?

I thought that'd be enough time for someone to turn up...
Hello to the universe, it appears no one is online all enjoying their winter break I suppose, yet I am here. Oh, and by the way, I WENT TO SEE SHERLOCK HOLMES TODAY IT WAS EPIC!
We'll be on here soon enough. I'm just here first. Not staying though. Just being ready is all. Bye.
*reads previous comments*
*laughs*
Sparky must have been REALLY bored to have done all that. :P
Okay, now going. Bye! :)
Hello!
Who got last?
...I hate you, Jakro. I hope you realize that.
Are we on this post?
Yes Val!
*is still hugging her*
SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!
Sparky did I mention that I missed you? Did I? Because I did.
*tackle hugs Eve*
I did too!
I think you may have...
WHATEVER!
Welcome back!
*gets tackle hugged* Hiiiiiiii!
this one?
Thanks!
I needed you so many times while I was gone, Sparky! Everytime I got upset or something I couldn't come on and have you help me calm down and make me feel better!
Yup, Nix.
Hi! *rolls off and gets up*
...Why did you get the punishment in the first place?
*grins at Mist then looks at Val* Welcome back, by the way.
Sorry I disappeared last night, Mist. Dad turned the Internet off.
Um... It was something along the lines of, you know, having an F in Algebra, then saying I did it all, and not actually doing it..
Thats okay. I was half asleep anyway.
i was asleep
*smiles*
If I don't comment for a while, it means that I'm pretending to be sleeping in, and that I'll come back.
Huh.
*frowns briefly then grins at Val*
Remember how Frog moved to a different school from me?
I was on the phone to her last night and she said 'Who's Ivy?'
I was outraged, until I realized that she wouldn't know who you were.
Sucks for Frog.
*smiles some more*
Same. Oh, and I can't make another video this weekend. My parents and brother's plans have changed. :(
Hahaha, you talk about me to your friends like I talk about you.
And you never told me Frog moved to a different school from you...
Aw. :(
Well, she did.
And, I found this out two weeks ago, I don't really like her that much anymore.
The references that she makes are childish and old, and the ones I make are inappropriate(don't ask), gory, or to do with L4D, Pewdiepie and other random stuff Alfred and Hayley have gotten me interested in.
Home alone....nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnow!!!
That sucks...
Yay!
*starts laughing at the monkey again*
*shrugs*
I don't really mind.
The main thing that bothers me about Frog is that she still talks about how much she misses Sammy.
Which makes everyone else talk about how much they miss Sammy.
And I don't miss Sammy. I consider her leaving as a blessing.
I hate when that happens...
When what happens?
Brb.
When someone stupid moves away and people complain about it when I'm happy about it.
brb
You wouldnt be laughing so much at the monkey if you were me. I literally cannot go back to sleep, because of this infernal clacking. E Monkey is my alarm clock. When the sun is shining, E Monkey lets the world know. Tick, tick, tick, tick tick tick, tick, tick!
Oh, then I know exactly what you're talking about.
It does suck.
Hey, Val, how long ago did you leave?
*nods in agreement*
So...
You've played Left 4 Dead?
Two weeks.
During those two weeks, though, I kind of lost it... I started shouting at inanimate objects and talking to myself and laughing when things weren't funny and falling out of my chair...
Boom
Boom
Of course I've played left 4 dead.
Sounds fun.
*eats live chicken*
I want it...
Mum won't let me get it.
...I want it...
Who's your favourite?
Bill, Francis, Louis, Zoey, Rochelle, Nick, Ellis, Coach?
Nooo! *tackles Mist*
*looks at live chicken enviously*
Rochelle! I always played as her. Well, until Peren sold the game and decided I couldn't touch his XBox...
Here you go then. *gives Mist a live chicken and the antidote*
*gets tackled and tries to get up*
Huh.
I think either Zoey, Francisor Ellis is my fav...
I always killed people with an axe or guitar...
Combat Shotgun, Dual Magnum Pistols, Nightstick.
*snorts*
I've never even played this game...
*flings mist into the lake*
It's my second favorite game, after Halo Reach.
*lands in lake*
...Typical.
*trudges of to super dryer*
Understandable.
Hey, do you like the fanfic so far?
Yep. It's awesome.
Accurate?
Hehe.
I have to go now. Be back soon though! Bye! *hugs must and bursts into oblivion*
Definitely accurate.
Goooood...
Bye, Eve!
*hugs back*
I'm gonna go eat now. Bye!
Bye Eve and Mist
Hello?
Hello.
Hi.
'Ello.
Brb.
*grins*
Servus.
We come in peace.
I don't.
*pulls out axe and swings it into an Infecteds head*
This used to be a NICE neighborhood!
I was lying about coming in peace.
SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!
I never said I was.
*grins*
Kill all sons o' b*tches, right?
*hands Val a shotgun and cocks my own one and winks*
*grins* You seem to know the game pretty well for never having played it.
Skyrim is better!!!
I've done my research.
I can put on the exact accent for each person.
And when Alfred starts blabbing about something I yell:
"Stop spoutin' that horsesh*t Alfred!"
Skyrim is NOT better.
Skyrim is SO much better.
Eh, I don't like Skyrim all that much... My cousin plays it...
I've asked Alfred, who is a pro gamer.
If she had Left 4 Dead, she would play it almost all the time.
With breaks only for Amnesia, Bioshock 2, Assasin's Creed and eating.
So? Skyrim is the only game I won't abandon. Its so endlessly thrilling. And scary....also, I like killing people with a sword. It's so much more more satisfying than using a gun.
You can use a Katana.
But can you use a Falmer Bow? Can you use a war hammer? Can you use an iron mace? Can you use your werewolf claws? Just to name a few.
Mace.
You can play as the zombies in L4D2 Versus mode, and all the zombies have claws.
...Except Boomer and Charger and Tank.
It's fun to play as the zombies... Especially as the Boomer and Smoker, becaus it's funny to watch the smoker tongue thingy.
HUNTER!!!
Hunter for the win!
...
I wanna go to Amanda's. Because at Amanda's, I can Skype call you, Sparky...
I would list all the Skyrim weapons, but it would take a month.
Cool...
Check your e-mail Val!
*smiles, then scowls, then smiles*
I really need to play this game...
*thinks* Skyrim has so many creatures...including zombies.
I'm not here... not now.
Still on Dad's comp so I'm going to mine... but not yet, not now...
Not sure when I'll really be able to be here...
Break is next week, but I still have school work to do, so I'm not sure how long I can stay or when I can be here...
I think I'll be too busy...
Have to go now... bye.
Bye Lav.
Oh, Sparky, did I mention I'm on Spring Break this week? That means no school!
Dylan...
Val, did I mention that I only have THREE DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT!?
*scowls* My mom won't answer my question: "Can I go to Amanda's house?"
For how long?
???
Did you read it?
Yep, and it was awesome.
How long do you have no school for?
Two weeks.
*thinks*
Possibly two and a half.
Look at my blog. Pleeeease. I made a new post.

By the way, I'll only be here a few more minutes...
Actually, got to go now...
Bye!
Aw...
Bye!
Bye valereno
And now you have no excuse for ignoring my nonsense!
Bye, Val.
Yes I do.
Dylan, all I see is a box with a ? in it.
No you don't!
*hugs mist*
*hugs back*
We're outta pizza. :(
Aw no. :(

*grins* Skyrim is the best. Have you played it before?
only once
I didn't even get to kill a dragon
Aw. Poor you. I have it on super easy all the time. Hehe. I love exploring the place. I feel so guilty when I kill a giant...
But every time I go to Winterhold, a dragon comes.
i killed this... i have no idea what it was, but i killed it

*hugs back*
I need to start my assignment...
*takes another large gulp of coke*
*frowns* You're not going get 'drunk' again, are you?
Good. Or you'll never get your homework done. :)
What do you have to do for your assignment?
Uh. I have to choose a self portrait of an artist and then write about it...
Like....a painting artist?
Aw. Are you having fun?
Not particularly.
But it's okay. I'm talking to you.
Even if my responses are very slow (sorry about that)
im writing
*smiles* that's okay. I'm watching the Simpsons. :D
Hi Nix

*thinks*
Thinking hurts. I don't think I have any homework. Yay...I think...
Hello.
I could vanish at any second.
Feeling a bit better?
